A HELPLESS millionaire.

From time to time references to Robert
CARROTS mental condition appear in the
public prints. A few months ago, when
he was tlken to his country place near
Baltimore, it was stated that he was so
much improved that there were strong rea-
sons for hoping that his mi I'd would even
tually be fully restored. That statement,
it is now declared, was wholly without foun-
dation. He has excellent physical health.
Indeed, at no time since his insanity be.
came apparent has he SHOWN signs of any
disease other than that Of the
mind. His relatives have no hope that he
will ever again be sane. They have every
reason, in fact, to believe that his condition
will grow worse until his death. He may
live, however, many years. The fact that
he comes from hardy stock justifes the
conclusion that he is likely to live long
time.
Mr.. Garrett is yet comparatively young
man. He is only a little more than 40 years
of age. IL is probable that his sanity is
due to the worry and trouble which we're
inseparable from the position " hich he held
that of president of the Baltimore and
Obi Railroad Company. Great response
bilities ere thrusI upon him when he was
too young to undertake them, and before be
was capable of be ring them lig ltly. He
attempted several things in connection witl
the Baltimore and Ohio that resulted in
failure and loss. OF course the stockholders
grumbed, and the thought that he was t
doing as we'll as his ia her had with the
| great property in his care was doubtless, a
source of constant annoyance to him.
He is not confined to his house. Keepers
attend him wherever be goes to see tnat he
does not harm himself or others. At times
he appears to app eciate his condition, but
only for brief moment or 80. Although
much of his property has deprecated in
value, particularly his Baltimore and o Aio
stock, he is still very rich man. He has,
therefore, every care and attention that can
possibly be procured. He is as compile ely
and finally removed from the world of
business, however, as if he were dead.

what Caused the Price OF nfu'es 20 Mise.
Senator Farwell lived on plantation
just.a little way out OF Decatur, Ala
bama, and was the possessor Of several
swarns OF bees. Ono hot day q hive OF
these bees were preparing 10 swarm.
Uncle Reuben Slathers, an old col0red
man, was coming into town with his
mule and a ''jag" of wool. The load was
pretty heavy and the mule very lazy, and
TO keep the flies of the beast Uncle Reu-
ben had stuck several branches into the
harness. Coming along toward the
Clark place the old man was saying:
Nov, yo' good-fur-scat mewl, yo'
lift dem hoofs an walk along or you'll
h'ar from me. III you hain't de LATEST.
doggondest emery beast I'm de hull State,
den I'll leave de church Why, sab, I'd
sell yo' fur two dollars and one leetle
'possum."
About this time the bees got a move
on them from the hive and by accident
or design the queen settled down on one
OF the branches waving over Uncle Reu-
ben's mule. The rest followed suit, and
in two minutes the animal was loaded.
She had como TO a halt of her own ac-
cord, and the old man sat with his mouth
open and gazed in astonishmcnt. Not
for long, however. Some OF the bees
slSirmishlng around on the outside con-
Guided to feel OF the old mule and sec
what she was made Of, and as about fifty
singers entered her feelings at once she
reared up, uttered a terrific snort and
started off at breakneck speed. Uncle
Reuben was dumped into the road at the
first jump, and as he scrambled up and
saw the mule on dead run, with the
sticks of wood flying and the wheels
shedding spol1es at every turn, he raised
his hands and shouted:
II take 1t all back, Juliusl l said
