incredibly fast time that they arrived on the 18th of July. The people were dressed in their holiday suits" and with the soldiers thronged the streets Exactly at 1 o'clock Thomas Crafts arose in the Town House and read aloud the declaration, and the men stood up and repeated the words of their off, cers and swore to uphold the rights of their country. The Town Clerk read the declaration from a balcony to the crowd, "at the close of which a shout, begun in the hall, passed to the streets, which rang with loud huZzas, the slow and measured boom of cannon and the rattle of musketry" Then there was a banquet in the Council chamber, ito which all the richer citizens were in- vited," while great quantities of liquor were distributed among the people, and in the evening there was a general illumination of the entire town. There was no statue of King George to be broken, but the people did the next best thing, for they tore down the lion and the unicorn from the east wing of the State House

 This was the Jubilee" and was the most elaborate of all celebrations up to that time. Three of the sIgners of the Declaration were still living, although the weakness of old age prevented them from taking an active part in the festivities. The struggle of the South American countries to throw off the yoke of Spain and the popular sym pathy with Greece helped to inspire the American people. Bands, bells, can non and procesSions abounded, and the oration held conspicuous part. Jo- siah Quincy was the orator in Boston, Edward Everett in Cambridge, while in Washington an honorable member" delivered a great speech before a greater crowd from the steps of the Capitol. New York had not yet made so much of the oration as had some of the other cities, but did not lack in en- thusiasm. A long procession marched from the Battery to Washington square and was there reviewed by De Witt Clinton. the Governor of the State. Ten thousand people were in the as sembly and aided in disposing of the "ox feast" which had been provided. The enthusiasm throughout the land was intense. The Monroe doctrine," the liberty of man." "the oppression of effete monarchies" were expressions used not only by the orators but by all men. Doubtless the Jubilee pro-

ooeh TO roe noRT ANoloVE,

There was joy in the house in Berling street. Southington, when Miss Clark received that good news.
 But the primary condition lasted not more than twenty minutes. MT. Hanna fell into short sleep, and again he was another being-the man whose ex-. istence dated from April F, 1897
 From that time on until he returned home first one consciousness and then the other asserted itself. Neither ego was conscious of the other. In one state he had no realization of the other.
 But the periods of primary conscious ness grew longer and longer, due to the psychological and chemical stimuli that were given him. Surely no scientists ever watched more interesting strug- gle than the clash of these two person. alitieS in one man. They were bending their energies, their skill, their knowl-- edge to weld the two, watching each breath of the patient, each futter of an eyel1d. For three or four days Mr. Hanna never passed from one state to another without sleep intervening, a hypnoleptic state as it is called a period when he was wholly unconscious.
 The day came when the two con- scfousnesses met on common ground The young man had a realization of his former life and of what had occurred since the accident. Everything came back to him. The flood of memories stunned him for time. The whole world was strange and confused. The billions of tiny brain cells were work ing with tremendous activity.
 Then the doctors knew that their work was done. They had brought about the cure in exactly two weeks.
 Mr. Hanna was directed to return to Southfngton. No man may know what took place when he saw his f1ancee again. but every woman who feared she had lost the man whom she loves better than her life may appreciate something of the joy of Anna Clark Cook when. her sweetheart took her In his arms.
 But MT. Hanna was not wholly re- covered. He was like a man who had passed months in total darkness and suddenly came into dazzling light He was dazed and confused. No human being could pass through so terrible an experience and come forth unaffect- ed by it. Each day it became clearer and sweeter to him.
 For a time he lived in fear that the cure was not permanent, but as tho months passed he gained complete con fidence. He accepted call in Union City, where he is now the pastor of the Baptist Church.
 And as for Miss Cook, surely no woman was ever more deserving of her great joy than she. whose trust and confidence were so steadfast when they passed through the shadows darker than death
 There was a wedding in Plantsville last Monday and all the countryside crowded into the church to see MT. . Hanna and Miss Cook made man and wife. They rejoiced with them. The bridegrooms father performed the ceremony, and one of the ushers was 'Dr. Goodhart, who played so important a part in the event

gence of a man of 25 of unusual capa- city.
 Then Miss Cook began a systematic course of instruction. 1-Ae local doc tors said that MT. Hanna could not re- cover. and that he must learn every thing over again. But the young woman did not believe that fate could be so cruel.
 She gave up her whole life to him. She spent hours in teaching him to talk, instructing him in the things that any child knows and of which he was totally ignorant.
 She taught him to write. She would write a sentence and he would copy it. using either hand with the same awk- wardness In his normal state he had never been ambidexterous.
 He had to learn to interpret every thing. He was in a world new and strange to him. He was like man transferred to another planet where the manner of communication, the peo- pie, the objects and the whole environ ment were unlike anything he had seen or dreamed of in his former existence
 There was no external change in him. He looked as he always did. But he had lost his old manneriSms, although his tastes were not dissimilar He talked in the Same way, although there were strange gaps in his conversation where his knowledge was incomplete.
 He learned to read in three weeks but his lack of collateral knowledge made much that he read a blank.

disgust. His sense of the beautiful was developed acutely.
 As the days passed, those about Mir. Hanna lost hope of his recovery, all but the devoted woman who had promised to be his bride. No one can know the misery she suffered during those days of constant attendance upon the man who had asked her to marry him, who had loved her with all the force of a strong nature, and who now looked upon her with gentle indiffer- ence.
 But she kept on. instructing hi day by day, doing her best to arouse the sleeping memory. He learned to play the piano with considerable skill. He learned to play the banjo excellently well, although formerly he had never attempted to master the instrument. His education moved swiftly, but un- less he could be brought back to his normal self it would take years to make him as he was before the fall.
 When his father and mother came to him MT. Hanna waited to be intro duced Then he greeted them politely. Their tears and caresses meant noth- ing to him. He did not know who they were They, too, gave up hope after week.
 Mr. Hanna has an uncle in New York whose name is familiar through his church on South Washineton Square. the Rev. A. P. Judson. Through him a physician was consulted.
