A weI-hnown Topeka man who used
to be an attendant at the Topeka insane
asylum, but who viii not permit his
name to be used in this connection. has
story OF most peculiar case which
came under his notice while he was en-
ployed at the asylum
This particular man is in the employ
OF large corporation and is well up in
the management OF the work for the
company. He was at the head of one OF
the wards at the asylum and a new pa
rlenI was brought TO the institution
from somewhere near Wichita
The patient was young man, good
looking. was Of fine figure and bore the
evidences of good breeding. His ma1ady
seemed to be total los. of voluntary
action. He never said word; had, TO
be shown everything he did; in fact,
was mere mechanic.
This Topeka man who was attendant

CenI TO talk But not word came from
him He had TO be called to his meals.
required orders to do the most rrifiine
work
One d>y he was set to work polishing
the floor in the lower hallway. The To-
peka man had to go away for a short
time When he returned the patient
was missing, while the brush lay on the
floor.
Hunting about the attendant found
that the patient had entered side bed
room. disrobed and was lying on the
bed fast asleep The attendant was
rather angry at the state of affairs. He
had in his hand a stout belt strap and he
brought it down across the form OF the
sleeper with considerable force. The
patient was greatly startled BY the
blow and seemed frightened. The To-
peka man told him to cIothe himself
and proceed with his work And then
the strangese thing of al happened.
The patient began to talk to the attend
anr-the first words he had spoken
since his arrival at the asylum nearly a
year before.
The attendant questioned him and
found tina the young man talked ration
ally. In speaking of it the Topeka man
said:
I was perfectly surprised when that
fellow began talking to NE. He told
me about the cause Of his mental
trouble. He said he had lived in the
country and went TO a 1eighboring
town to take al examination for West
Point Failing in the examination and
being out of mouey, he started to walk
home. There was a cold. drizzIinc rain
and he contracted severe cold From
that time he said he couldn't remem-

folks that he was taken down with
brain fever and lost his mind. From that
day my patient was put in the Office and
he gradually improved and was sent
home. he is now sound man in mind
and body and is successful in business.
I believe that sudden shock brought
him back to his senses. A doctor in the
asylum told NE that similar cases to
that had happened where sudden
shocks had restored 1unatics. [ never
reported it to Dr.. Eastman for the rea-

and "Mopsa, the Fairy were widely
sung and fingered long before the pub
lie. Much of her work was supposed
to be autobiographicaL in which con-
nection it was for a long time thought
that her name, Jean Ingelow,"
which she candidly signed to her work
was a nom de plume and many people
were set by the ears to discover tie
real identity of the author. in many
cases it taking them longer than if she
really had in the first place signed 1
pseudonym-
In her youth it was said that the
poetress was not regarded as an infant
phenomenon and that nothing was es-
pecialy noticeable about her except
her timid demeanor and prediction
for wandering Off along the coast.
where she loved to sit in loneliness and
watch the sea.
At her death Miss Ingelow was =.
years old and was living in little cot
tage at Kensington. where, with her
brother. who had remained bachelor
all mis- life, she passed her days sur
rounded by the beautiful greerery-
screened gardens attached to the lodge
and III which, it was said it was her
greatest pleasure to roam. The con
servatcry is said to be as large again
as the little cottage, and her favorite
amusement was to wander through th.
sweet-seenred aisles of this and watch
her little pet birds at play.
Of late years she had passed from
public mind and not many recalled the
sensation her early work created
