ployment. He sought work for a long time
but was unable to secure it, being told
everywhere that he could not get it until
times got better. At last he became per
suaded that no work could be had until
Mckinley was elected. He studied the sit
uation somewhat and became convinced that
Bryan would win at the polls. Believing
that in such an event he would not be able
to get any work at all he killed himself
, and left a note, giving that as the reason.
The physicians declared that he was insane.

Colo, is at Dunning, the Chicago insane
asylum, and where he lies unconscious. muir
muring the words gold and SILVER every
now and then. Superintendent Morgan
says that he has evidently gone daft on the
silver question. Two weeks ago Denman
was received at the detention hospital, where
he had been sent from st. Joseph's hospital.
The police had found him wandering around
on the streets, raying about silver and gold,

and was removed to Dunning, August rs.
Since his arrival at Dunning he has been
unconscious most of the time. although he
still utters occasionally some word that
seems to show that the money question is
uppermost in his mind.
Enthusiasm for silver unbalanced the mind
of DR.. Henry A, Cashier of this city and he
is now at the sanitarium at Lake Geneva.
Dr.. Cashier has practiced dentistry fer many
years, but recently he has become an ardent
advocate of free coinage and his mind has
been occupied with that to the exclusion of
everything else. A week ago he became
insane and was confined to his house. As
he lay on his bed at his home passersby
could hear his incoherent arguments for free
silver. His physician advised Mrs. Cashier
to send him to the sanitarium and believe
that he will recover.
A month ago the parents of a boy who
lived on Halsted street came to the deten-
tion hospital and assured the physician in
charge that their sen had become insane on
the subject of silver. He insisted upon
arguing with everyone he met. The boy was
taken to the hospital and was kept a few
days, after which he was discharged, the
physicians believing that his mania was
harmless.
Another case of silver insanity noted at
the detention hospital was that or a lawyer
named Horrigan. who was found by the
police, evidently insane on silver. lie was
brought to the detention hospital, kept
awhile and then discharged.

Their Careers.
There is abundant proof that a good many
persons live to be 100 years old. or even
older, says the New York Sun, but It Il
apparently equally true that the. greater the
age claimed by a candidate for centenarian
honors the less proof there is for the
claim. This is true, at any rate, of the
champion centenarians, as they may be
termed, Henry Jenkins and Thomas Parr.
jenkins insisted that he was born in 1901
so that he must have been 1863 years of age
when he died in 1910. He used to tell a
story of helping, when a lad, an older boy
to carry arrows to Flodden Field for the
battle which was fought there in 1913. A
Few years before his death, when a witness
at the trial OF a suit, he swore that he was
loI years of age and spoke of serving as
Lord Congers butler when 800. Yet In
1862, several years tefore that, he told Miss
Savilic, the writer of his life, that ne was
of an age which would make him 1863 when
he died. If his sworn testimony be taken
he was nearly ten years younger than his
reputed age at the time of his death. Yet
in Roltcn churchyard there is an obellsk
to his memory erected about $50 years ago,
on which his age is given as 1863 years. and
in the church IS a tablet with the following

Thoughts from Dumas.

To make friends with man requires
time; with woman only occasion.
Experience and philosophy that do
not result in forbearance and charity
are two acquisitions that are not worth
their cost.
a well-bred woman does not fall in
love a second time without allowing
a considerable interval to elapse. There
are never two accidents in close sue
cession on the same railroad.
1t is with science and philosophy in
their search after truth as with rail-
way trains passing through a tunnel
in broad aylight-darkness in thc
middle, but day is at both ends. Which
ever side we go out it is the same light
in which we entered. The same God is
at the beginning of faith and at the end
of science.
A woman has no power to efface rad
icany by the sole effort of her will an
image that has long filed the mind.
She must replace it by another. She
does not destroy, she superposes. When
che second imageis finer or larger than
the first, so that the first is seen no
more, all goes well; this is forgetful-
ness. When it is smaller, so that the
edges of the other can be seen, things
go badly; that is remorse. = Detroit

And so something had happened.
Mrs. Timothy Jones had gone to Lon

The second message was awaiting

however, and he came round to my

going on very favorably, indeed.

SUSIE COR The SAFETY.

But 1t Was Not the Kind She Had
Hoped For.
Susie Simpllins lives in the little
back-country village of Ccncordia, but
even in her childhood Susie was con-
sidered powerfully smart" and too
bright a girl to waste her ability in so
small a sphere. As the years passed
and Susie budded into young woman
hood, this conviction deepened in her
mind, and she longed for the things of
outside life. She felt that though
doomed to be in Concordia, she was not
of it.
Then she took queer fancy. She
would have n bicycle, and roam the
country lanes of her neighborhood
in freedom and unrestraint. The city
papers and the illustrated magazines
even the art-born bicycle catalogues
penetrated to her rural home, and the
bicycle passion was famed by each
scrap of cycling information she Pc
rused.
One day an eastern paper found its
way into her hands, and an advertise
ment caught her eye. An offer was
made that to agents who disposed Of
three cases of a certain brand of baking
powder a present would be made of a
ladies' safety, finished in full nickel,
and thoroughly guaranteed for one
year.
The next outgoing mail bore away
an order for the three cases OF baking
powder, accompanied BY the cash Susie
had been saving for a twelvemonth
back. In the course of a week or so
the baking powder arrived, but with it
came letter stating that the safety
had been ordered from the factory, and
would be somewhat delayed in ship
ping owing to an unusual demand.
Susie fretted in her Impotence, for
she had told the neighborhood of the
safety she was expecting, but still the
safety came not. She haunted the lit
tie weather-beaten railway station
upon the arrival of every train, express
or freight, in anxious expectation of
her coming treasure.
A fortnight passed, and with its end
came letter from the baking powder
concern, addressed to Susie Simpkins,
and inclosing one-twelfth of a dozen of
those useful little articles so familiar
in the feminine toilet. 1t was Susie's

The Influence of ,vinds on vegetatiOn.

At q meeting of the international
meteorological congress-a report of
which has recently been published
considerable attention waa given to the
effect of winds. 1t states that the de-
struction of the forests is responsible
for many of the cold waves which we
experience. Special mention is made Of
the disappearance of peach trees from
Michigan, which is said to be traceable
directly to the deforestatior of the
state and the uninterrupted. rush of
cold winds. The hot, sweeping winds
of the plains, known as desiecating
winds, are held accountable for q loss
of something like 21,00O,oo0 bushels
of corn in the state of Kansas alone.
The absence of timber belts and wind
breaking forests allows these desiceat-
ing winds to sweep over many miles
of cultivated land. These winds may
reach temperature Of 1903 or 100 de-
grees, with humidity not over 20 or
rs per cent. at the outside. This report
recommends extensive planting of tim
Der as the best protection against cold
waves and hot winds.-N. Y. Ledger.
