is giving the matter an earnest con-

accept the same. 1t would be serious
loss to Forest City should he decide
to leave. His undertakings in the mu-

successful. A choir under his director

most every church and society here has
been benfited by the earnest work Of
the professor. Cantatas, concerts and
other musical events have been the

in their behalf. At present he is leader

earnest desire that he may prosper in
his new undertaking should he decide
to go.

CONSUMPTION Quarantine.

That consumption was contagious was
an old theory and the Spaniards, centuries
ago, were in the habit Of destroying the
bedding and belongings of consumptives,
and in some cases even the house in which
they lived, for fear of the spreading of the
plague. That it is not very actively con-
tagious is proved sufficiently by the fact
that the jewellers in cities are alive at all,
for statistics prove that from oue-tenth to
one-fifth of all the deaths in large cities
are due directly or indirectly to the dis
ease, and that consequently number of
sufferers from the disease must be present
in every large gathering of people. FIX

STRANGE SELF DECEIT,
What Morbid Love For the Sensational
MAY Something's ACCOMPLISH.

A morbid love OF the sensational some
times leads young people, more especially
young women, into strange paths Many
extraordinary Instances are on record OF
the singular manner in which they have
imposed upon relatives and friends, repre-
sCnting themselves as suffering from
battling malady in some cases; in others as
the victims of injustice or persecution.
A case of the latter kind was that of the
Canadian girl said to be prosecuted by
the receipt of scurrilous anonymous let
tiers. The whole population was reused
into sympathy and Indignation, and she
herself was driven finally into her grave,
amid the lamentations of the community,
by her malevoent and understandable ac-
cuscr AftCrward an examination of her
papers and letters revealed the fact that
she herself had been the unknown writer
1t would seem remarkable that one should
be ones enemy to such an extent as to
commit suicide by self persecution in this
manner. Yet psychologists know that
such cases are not infrequent.
a recent illustration of that is afforded
by the story of a spinster milliner, who
not only wrote herself prosecuting letters,
but actually set fire and destroyed some Of
her personal effects in her little shop III

sympathy and attention of the communi
