HER PRESENCE OF MIND.
Evidence That She Had
Kept Cool in an Emergency.

! Mr.. Torkins is fortunate in having
! been able to educate his wife to an APP
| probation of the pleasures which he
| enjoys. An ardent devotee of the
camera, he has inspired her with the
same artistic enthusiasm which he feels
when he has secured an especially
| beautiful or unique picture, says the
| Washington Star"
| TT is too bad for us to miss all the
skating" he remarked. We're not so
! old as to deny ourselves one of the
| greatest enjoyments that the season
| affords"
Il don't know how to skate" was the
answer. But don't let that make any
difference to YOU
Il shouldn't think of leaving YOU be-
hind" he rejoined, gallantly It's not
matter Of any Importance, and Wen
| say no more about it,
THAT would make me feel very bad
| ly. Now, We can go to the pond be-
fore sunset. I'll dress myself warmly
and go with you and look on
That won't be very exhilarating
sport for YOU
'Oh. 1 shall be ever so much enter
| tanned in watching you
That's SO. Maybe I'll fall down for
you. That'n be sure to amuse YOU
Besides she went on, never needing
| the sarcasm, Il can take the camera
| with me and be on the lookout for
something new to photograph
| They set out, and in a short time he
was lightly Swimming over the ice
while his wife stood admirng the grace
with which he moved. They had sought
less frequented part of the pond. and
there was no one to warn him that he
| was approaching a spot of danger
There was crackle, then a crash. and
in moment only jagged hole in the
ice gave evidence OF Mr. Torkin's
whereabouts. Some men who had heard
him cry out as he went down came hur-
| rying to the rescue, and it was not long
before he was at home
Il must say" he remarked when he
was beginning to feel comfortable once
more, that women haven't much pres
ence of mind
Il hope" his wife answered, that
you don't intend that remark to apply
to me-
Il certainly do
But what ground can you find for
Such an assertion, Charley? This
afternoon
Yes, this afternoon is what I have
reference to. You never thought of
getting board and showing it out to
me, or any of those things that YOU
read about its being proper to do in
case of an accident. SO far as l can re-
member you didn't even call for help"
Charley, have always heard that
men find fault when they are not we'll
l suppose l ought TO make allowances.
but l can't help feeling hurt when you
say that lacked presence of mind If
there is anything l did have il was
that. may not have done just what
you expected. But and she gave

snap shot of you just as you were GO

new universally received of the law of
suggestion among scientists, with a
few important exceptions.
This law is stated as follows:
Persons in hypnotic state are con-
stantly amenable to control by sug-
gestion''
Mr.. Hudson combats the view of the
Charcot school, who claim that hypno-
tism can only be induced in hysterical
persons, and adopts the contrary view,
(which is fast becoming universal among
those who have investigated the sub
ject.
He claims that hypnotism has no le-
Ultimate place in criminal Jurisprudence
and while he comedies that a criminal
hypnotist in control of a criminal sub
ject could undoubtedly procure the
commission of a crime under excep-
tionally favorable circumstances" he
illustrates that it practically in such a
case could not be legal defense on the
ground-first, because in the nature of
things a hypnotized subject can have
no standing in a court of justice as a
witness. and, second, because the cross
examination of a subject as to the ma
ture and extent of the suggestions
made to him by hypnotist would be
quite impossible and absurd
The psychological section is now de-
voting itself to the examination of hyp-
nOtism. Its January meeting was de-
voted to clinical work.
Hypnotism interposed as a defense in
criminal cases by an accused person
must always be regarded with distrust.
The question before the courts will
always be one of fact for the jury:
(a) Was the accused in the condition
known as the hypnotic trance or state p?
OBJ Was his mind under the control
or domination of the hypnotizer?
(c) Did the accused. at the time of
the act, know of the nature, character
and effect of his act, or was his act
caused by the domination and will of
the hypnotizer, either in conscious or
unconscious states?
A jury must be made to believe that
the act was done wholly without con-
scious knowledge of the act, or that his
will was absolutely under the control
and domination of the hypnotizer, and
that he had not the power to resist that
control to affect the question of re-
sponsbility.
This contribution is made as due to
the Importance and urgency of the
question of how far hypnotic sugges-
ton is a legitimate factor in determn-
ing criminal responsibility.-Clar Bell

was born in Los Padillas, Bernalillo county,
June 81, 1888, and is m embe of one of the
oldest and most noted families of the ter
ritory. His grandfather, Hon. Frenclsco
Xavier Chaves, was the first governor of
New Mexico under the Republic, serving
in that capacity in the years of 1922 and
1928; his great-grandfather Mariana Cha
YES, was born in New Mexico in 1893.
The father of Colonel Chaves was man
of much distinction, and occupies a
prominent place on the pages of history,
and was commissioned by Santa Anna as
inspector-general of all the forces Of New
Mexico, with supreme power to super
cede the governor at will. Colonel Cha
yes was educated IN the best schools of
the land. In 1S41 he went to the st.
Louis university, where he remained five
years; in 1S4S he was sent to New York
CITY where he attended private acade-
my; from there he went to F1shkill, N. Y,
attending an academy in that place. He
finished his education with two years.
course in the College Of physicians and
surgeons in New York City. In 1852 he
returned to his home in this territory,
and since that time his life has been one
of constant activity, the full recital of
which would fill far more space than is
found in any one issue of a newspaper.
As soldier Colonel Chav.s served with
distinction under Kit Carson through
many Indian troubles. In 1861 he was
commissioned major of a volunteer regi-

ment by President Lincoln; in 1862 took
part in the battle of Valverde, and helped
to establish Fort Wingate. In 1865 he
was honorably mustered out of the serv-
ice and returned to his home. He was a
gallant and meritorious officer through.
out the late war.
Colonel Chaves is a Republican in
politics, and in 1859, while absent fight
ing the Navajo Indians, was elected to
the house Of representatives in the terri
torial Legislature, taking his seat in 1860,
on his rttprn from the war. In 1865 be
was elected as the delegate to congress,
and served in the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth
and Forty second congresses with ability
and fidelity. In 1875 he was elected a
member of the territorial council, from
Valencia county, and has held that posi-
tion ever since. Of his abilities and rec
ord as member of the council it is not
necessary to speak. The fact that for %
years he has been returned by the voters
of his district is sufficient evidence of the
esteem IN which he is held, and the man
ner in which he has discharged his duties.
On November 1857, Colonel Chaves was
married to Miss Mary Bowie, in San Fran
cisco, and to them two children were
born, one of whom is living In 1873
Mrs. Chaves died, and on March 10, 1891
he was again married, to Miss Josephine
Wilmington, who aids him in maintaining
and making one of the most comfortable
and hospitable homes in all New Mexico.
