A white-haired Virginia negro, Isaiah
Dorsey, whose thrift and good charac-
ter many years ago won him not only
his freedom but a white wife, appeared
before Justice Mcmahon in the York
vile police court the other day in an
swer to q summons issu ed 1t the re-

of clubbing, says the New York Post.
Young Dorsey, clad in figured waist

of his fathers violence, and rather
sneeringly said that 1.-The Ql4pan does

south Of Auckland with fire and sword.
His victorieus march was stayed by
the Wailkatos and Ngatimapiapotos,
and the tide Of conquest rolled back
northward. It WAS In these and sub
sequent inter-tribel wars that Rewi
won his reputation - sighting chief.
When Sir George Grey, - governor Of

the Waikatos in 1853, Rewi became one

He was besieged by fifteen hundred
British troops for three days, during
which the garrison were without VA
ter, and subeisted on raw potatoes and
maize. At length, after repeated 49,
saults had been repulsed, the flying
sap broke into the trenches, and ,

II. writes in the Chautauquan OF
these mysterious disappearances and
the attendant lapses of identity in
the missing ones, giving several In
stances that came under his own Obser-
vation. He says:
From the more reliable statistics
available they seem to be rs common,
per ratio OF population, In one section
as in another, as frequent in one sea-
son as another, and erratically to avoid
anything like rule of procedure be-
yond the one prime propelling impulse
to step out and be gone. Herein lies
an undefinable mystery and IN un-
measurable danger, for until we know
just how and why this subtle psyche
logical forde arises, there can be no
sense of security felt by any individual
as q personal immunity from this
strange and powerful, all powerful it
would seem, propelling force. In the
selection of victims the educated and
illiterate, the sick and the we'll, the
strong and the infirm, the rich and the
poor, the man of brains and the man of

residence and the dweller in the hut

planation that we accept the theory of
every persons being actuated by .
double consciousness, twin self,
which, when the organization is in .
state of normal, healthy equipoise, har-
moniously dominates all the acts which
characterize us, just as in health and
in physiological balance our two eyes
see as one, our ears hear as one, or our
double brain SO nicely conjoined, rea-
sons, receives Impressions transfers
them into sensations, and directs the
operations of the complex nervous sys-
tenn, in all acting, esse1tially, as one
brain.
We are now ready 10 believe that
circumstances may arise 20 to influence
our conscious quality. that the one
shall be Influenced more than the other
and in turn produce such m errantry,
such type OF vagarious personality,
as the individual originally might
never be accused of possessing or know
himself that he possessed.
