EDITOR Morrow seems to lay stress
on the fact that Congressman Patter-
son draws $4,000 year as member
of Congress and at the same time goes
about the country making sound mon
ey speeches. Well, what about the
Hon. Bill Bryan, who is prancing all
over the west making free silverspeech-
es at the same salary?

Hvptnotism and Crime.
Bv Victor YarrOs.

The recognition of hypnOtiSm as fact in Jllrls-
prudence long anticipated. may now be regarded
as fairly realized Abroad. and particularly in
France. several attempts have been made with
in the last two or three years to set up hypnotic
influence as II legal defence in grave criminal
cases 1t does not appear that any of them nave
succeeded The legal mind is proverblally con-
seryatiye and skeptical. Of all spheres, thaC OF
the administration of justice is most impervlous
to reformatory tendencies. and hence 1t IS
natural that Judges and prosecuting attorneys
should look with suspicion upon the introduction
of hypnotism into the problem of crime and
punishment The havoc so often played by that
ancient dodge of emotional insanity is deeply
realized by them. and they are anxious to shut
the door in the face of possible substitutes. On
the other hand. iuries. hardheaded. worldly. and
innocent of scientific subtletes and the higher
facts revealed by science. are equally averse TO d
serious view of hypnOtism as legal factor But
if hypnotic influence is really Sclentlhcaly es-
tablished fact. no opposition Will avail What
! sociology and psychology admit. legal systems
cannot exclude. 1t is remarkable that the nrSC
grave criminal case on record ID which the
theory of hypnotsm has been applied is an
American case.
Allusion is here made, of course. as readers OF
daily newspapers are aware, TO the receh'
criminal case in Wellington. Kansas. For the
benefit of those who may have overlooked the
press reports, the facts may be briefly stated A
farm hand by the name OF Mcdonald was tried
for the murder of man named Patton. NC
Donald admitted the act of killing, but set up III
defence the claim that he had not acted as free
agent but as the tool and victim of his employer
a well-to-do farmer named Gray. The evidence
at the trial brought out number OF facts ap
parently consistent with this claim. McDonaio
had no motive for the killing OF Patton, whlle
Gray had violent grudge against the murdered
man. Gray was shown to be masterful man
with a strong will and aggressive procllvltles
while his employee was shown to be weak yleld
ing, and plant. Mcdonald had been persuaded
, by Gray that Patton was dangerous man, ano
, that it was necessary to kill him. Inc lat1el
taught the former how to use rifle and stationed
, him along the road where the victim was to pass
The murder then followed. The jury under the
instructions of the trial judge. acquitted NC
Donald, and he is now, presumably, a free man
: His employer, Gray, was subsequently tried ane
, found guilty of murder. He is now under sen
, tence of death, and, unless the verdict Is re

A WINTERS NIGHT.
By Matte Wetherbee.
Far in the night the last faint blush
OF day is slowly fading;
The shadows creep
Across the steep
TO give the picture shading;
The air is still and bitter cold.
While Sweetly family feeling
Come sound of bells.
The echo sweets
And still comes onward stealing
The moonlight falls in silvery showers;
The stars their watch are keeping;
The pure snow spreads
It's dOwny beds
Above where flowers are sleeping.
Oh, fair night! may you bring to us
A brighter. better morrow;
From day to day
Will go our way
Whether come veal or sorrow.
The New Year with smiling face
Within the door is standing:
And to us all
In Cot or Hall
fair white book in handing.
Oh. lovely book, with spotless leaves
Your writing costs us dearly
What tales of strife,
That fill our life
Will stain thy pages yearly!
We trace them with our hearts red blood
These pages far too often;
While heavy care,
And black despair
Close round us like coffin.
But all things come to him who waits:
Keep looking upward ever;
For time is fleet
And life is sweet
When courage faileth never.
See in the East ruddy glow
The morning breaks in glory
SO hope alway
And each fair day
Will help complete life's story.

Ono of our witticst variety show jokers is won't to introduce his turn by com ing forward and asking, after glancing at card he holds, "Is MT. Erastus Baker in the house?" There being no response, he repeats this query and then goes on: 'Woll, the ces a woman at tho stage door with bill for washing, and shc's looking for Mir Erastus Baker. Now, I'm going to sing, and if any one goes out during my song I'll have placed this gentleman.
 Knowing the performers ready and un- sparing wit his hearers are pretty suro to wait till he is through before leaving the theater This entertainers trick of hold ing his hearers was brought to my mind by an incident in gospel temperance moeting'' in a modest west side church. Thero was nothing in the programme to attract attention to it as promising any thing different from the usual gathering of the kind, but 1t was made especially in- teresting by an unexpected discussion be. tween the pastor and young man In the audience. The services had been in prog ress but few minutes when the pastor dnnounccd
 We will now sing the hymn. Oh, Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonightf'" and he proceeded to read the familiar lines of the first stanza. While he was reading the young man, a stranger, rose from his pew and started toward the door. The clergyman, eager to point moral, sup, pose, immediately called out;
 l. Better stay here brotherl This Is the place for your mothers wandering boyr' The stranger stopped, turned about and standing in tho aisle responded:
 "I may or may not be such a one as the hymn describes, but will tell you frank ly that leave this meeting simply because you arc going to sing that hymn. The hymn docs not reach the wandering boys heart, because he is not here, but that is of little matter compared with the need less suffering you inf1ict on tho mothers who may be and doubtless are present.
