RAVING MAD.
Native Who Had Been a Quiet
Workman Loses His Mind,


People in the vicinity of Central I'm
ion Church on Richards street yester-
day afternoon at about 4 o'clock might
have run up against a wild-eyed ma
tive who was wandering about in the
locality mentioned at that time. No
one seemed to pay much attention at
the time and yet, had they known his
real condition, they would have GER
tainIy have teIephoned to the police
station at once He was carrying on
at great rate and declaring himself the
Holy Ghost. He walked into one yard
and frightened the women Of the place
very badly. He was turned out from
this place and from there walked down
Hotel street. A telephone message had
been sent in to the police station in
the meanwhile and Bicycle PatrOlman
Kali was sent up to attend to the mat
ter. The native was shouting at the
ton of his voice When he caught sight
of the police officer he started in the
other direction but Kali soon over
took and escorted him to the police
station.
1t was here that he became more
violent and several officers were re
CURED to get the man into the cell.
Once there he became most violent.
His language was incoherent and only
a word here and there could be dis
tinguished. He succeeded in making
plain the assertion that he was the
Holy Ghost and that no one dare
touch him.
The mans name is Akela and up I'M
til a short time ago he was working
in the Government stables under VIM.
Cummings. He has always been known
as a very quiet fellow, who has never
shown any signs Of insanity until yes
terday.

EYES CAN KILL.

.t A prominent lawyer in this city adj
mitted he had no idea that all his
nervousness, loss of memory, sleep
lessness and other consequent disor-
ders of mind and body were due to
eye strain.
Sleep is impossible if the nerves are
not at rest. The nerves rule the body.
Eye troubles are often the result Of
shattered nerves and stomach disOr-
ders. If you cannot sleep, it's prob
ably due to your eyes!

A Model Plant is not complete with
out Electric Power. thus dispensing
with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station? One gener-
ator can furnish power to your Pump,
Centrifugals, Elevators, Plows, Rail-
ways and HOSTS; also, furnish light
and power for a radius of from Is to
80 miles.
Electric Power being used, saves the
labor Of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available 1t
costs nothing to generate Electric
Power.

RED H.p,ao. ROOD.

O. che wide lawn the snow lay deep.
kidged DER with many n drifted heap;
TIE wind that through the pine trees
sung
The naked elm boughs tossed and
SWING:
While through the window. frosty
starred.
Against the sunset purple barred.
We saw the sombre crow flap by.
TIE hawks gray fleck along the sky,
TIE crested blue-jay, fitting swift,
The squirrel posing on the drift,
Erect. alert. his broad gray tail
Sc. to the north wind like sail.
1t came to pass, our little lass
With fiattened face against the glass.
And eyes in which the tender dew
or pity shone. stood gazing through
The narrow space her rosy lips
Had melted from the frost's eclipse.
''Oh. see." she cried. 1.-The poor blue
jays!
WHAT is it that the black crow says?
The squirrel lifts his little legs
Because he has no hands, and begs.
He's asking for my nuts, l know;
Nay not feed them on the snow?"
s.ais lost within her boots, her head
Warm-sheltered in her hood OF red,
Her plaid skirt close about her drawn.
She fioundered down the wintry lawn.
Now struggling through the misty veil
Blown round her by the shrieking gale;
Now sinking in a drift SO low
Her scarlet hood could scarcely show
Its dash Of color in the snow.
She dropped for bird and beast forlorn
Her little store OF nuts and corn,
And thus her timid guests bespoke:
Come, squirrel, from your hollow
oak
Come. black old crow-come. poor
bluejay.
Before your supper's blown away?
Don't be afraid. we are all good.
And I'm mammals Red Riding Hood"

Tn. Crooked swo.. reu stem.

no SToOked sweet Ieu Stchi'
In the queens garden was planted a
long row of sweet peas which grew
and blossomed as only sweet peas IN
queens garden could grow and bios
som. How lovely they were, and what
a delight were they to the queen.
One bright June morning three tiny
buds commenced to feel their way out
to the sun, and that they might see
the queen when he passed by. But
long before it was time for the little
buds to bloom. they were caught by
one of the tendrils of the vine which
held them fast, SO that the stem on
which they grew was bent all out of
shape.
One afternoon the gardener passed
by. and he saw the little crooked stem.
oh" said the flowers, "he will snip
us off and throw us away; for would
not the queen feel sorry II she should
come along and find us growing here?"
And this the gardener was just
ready to do when something attracted
his attention, so that he forgot all
about shipping them of, and for a
time they were safe.
Just at sunset the queen passed by.
"Oh,' cried the poor little flowers. "let
us hide. SO that the queen cannot see
our deformity."
But the queen did see them. What
sweet little flowers" she exclaimed.
"and this evening in my hair will
wear you. Would God that my crown
were one-half as fair as the swee:
faces OF these lovely flowers"
All that evening the good queen
wore the happy little flowers, and
then. when she retired for the night
sso placed them in a tiny jewelei
wise. that they might keep sweet and
fresh for the morrow.
oh" exclaimed my poor little de-
formed boy. "is that truly true
story?"
Almost" replied.
Tell me the true part of it," he
asked eagerly.
You are the little sweet pea blos-
som, my boy. and mother is your
queen"
How the little lads eyes shone when
he joyfuIly cried out. "Oh! oh! Oh!
and the queen loves me. i knew she
did. I am SO glad, mamma"
Yes" replied. hugging him close
to mothers breast, II do love you.
But Jesus loves us more than we can
possibly love each other, and He has
seen me. and He has seen my darling
boy, and we know Him; so that by
to dwell with Him; there all the
crooked shall be made straight. my
precious boy" oh how lovely" ex-
claimed the little lad.

Del,e,ou. Peanut Nourat.

To make peanut nougat. brush square
pans lightly with oil and cover the
bottoms thickly with shelled peanuts.
Put a pound OF sugar and a half pint
OF water into saucepan; add as much
cream Of tartar as You can hold on the
point of a knife: stir until the sugar
is dissolved. Wipe down the sides Of
the pan and allow the syrup to boil
carefully until 1t begins to turn light
straw color. Take 1t from the fire
quickly and sink the bottom of the pan
into another of cold water. This is to
stop the boiling instantly and prevent
the sugar from browning. Pour this
carefully over the peanuts and stand it
away to harden. One pound Of sugar
should be quite enough to cover two
pounds Of peanuts. This candy may
be changed by using walnuts, al
monds, pecan or mixed nuts.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

Often very rich cream will not whip

added to 1t. Cream should be very
cold to whip easily and quickly. " 1t

OF the cream whipping to butter as
housekeepers frequently complain 1t

Cold water put into glasses or dishes
from which eggs have been eaten will

Much coal is wasted by keeping

All cold vegetables left over should

Wealthy people spend double as

Carpets and rugs can be as thorough

should be beaten on the wrong side
first.
All things considered. a solution of
OK gall and warm, soft water, in the
proportion of one pint Of the former
to two gallons OF the latter. is the best

The best way to clean fine jewe!ry

II two pairs OF shoes are kept in use
together. wearing them alternately, the
shoes will give more service and last

Rugs From Scrap.


Some of the most useful and pic
turesque rugs are made of scraps OF
different colored woolen dress goods
sewed in hit-or-miss fashion on back
OF bedticking or any stout goods. Old
bedticking Is excellent, because the
blue stripes are a guide to sew by. Cut
out piece of the ticking of sufficient
size to make a rug. Cut all the pieces
OF woolen dress goods into the uniform
size Of two inches square. Fold each
square into double box plait. Crease
1t in the middle and as fast as you pre-
pare them sew these little plaits on the
ticking on the blue stripes as closely
as they can be put. Begin sewing on
the little box plaits of cloth in the
middle of the rug. Turn the rows on
one side one way and on the others the
other. The raw edges OF the plated
squares of cloth form the surface OF
the rug. A very good effect may be
obtained by making the center of the
rug hit-and-miss pattern. and the bor-
der black, with red, yellow or blue
stripes. or a mixture of ell.
Still another method of preparing q
rug from scraps is to tie the cloth on a
burlap foundation. Prepare founda-
tion OF the size desired and cut strips
about the width of ordinary carpet
rugs and the proper length to tie in
firm. hard knot. leaving short ends.
Sew strips as closely together as possi-
BILE and knot them firmly in place as
fast as they are sewed on.

writhing. hissing copperhead snakes.
The largest. three feet long. led the

children when the boy saw It. He also
saw the danger OF his companions
and screamed at them to run out OF
the room. They were so frightened
that they could scarcely move hand or
foot. Abraham drew his wooden
sword from his belt. and. jumping in
the front of the rest, struck the big
copperhead n singing blow. 1t recoil-,

the enemy and felled three more OF the
snakes that seemed ready to spring at
the children. The whole body OF
snakes retreated as Abraham welded
his weapon. In the meantime his COM

and powerful dog, Rex. While the
Newfoundland dog jumped and gnaw-

why n uor., Hate. . Camel.

Animals have their likes and dis
likes as well as men. and they are
quite as hard to explain. A cat nat
urally dislikes and fears a dog. The
elephant hates mice and dogs. Horses
ioathe camels, and will not stay in the
same block with them II they can help
It, 1t is hard to give cause for these
aversions. Why should the horse dis
like the harmless camel and be fond
OF the dog? 1t must be that the horse
has dormant sense of beauty and of
humor. The ideal of the horse is
grace. combined with strength. He
disapproves from the bottom Of his ma
ture of the hopelessly vulgar, awkward
and unesthetical camel. The bear. he
sees at once. though clumsy, Is unpre-
tentious. truthful and not devoid OF
sense of humor. The dog he recog-
nizes as good fellow, companionable
and unselfsh. A strong bond between
the dog and the horse is that they are
both fond Of sport whereas camel
would not go an inch to see the best
race that was ever run.

Joining tho salvation Army.

Mary b. would like very much to
Join the Salvation Army, but her fam
lily and friends oppose her SO violent
ly that she has not the courage to take
the step. She knows that her whole
heart and soul are absorbed in their
work and feels that there is no field
in which she could be so useful to the
world and SO satisfactory to herself.
1t is almost matter of conscience
with her, but she has been brought up
to the habits of the strictly obedience
to her parents. She Is only twenty
years Of age and some OF her people
advise her to wait q year or 80 and
see IL her present enthusiasm con-
tinues. II SO she will be Of age and
can do as she pleases: IL not the ques-
tion will settle itself. Answer: The
counsel OF your friends is eE.inently
wise and proper. Young persons often
take violent fancIes and become filled
with philanthropic ideas that they
abandon as they grow older and see
more OF the world. The best course
for you to pursue is to keep your
heart full Of benevolence and good
works, and II. when the year or two
OF waiting has rolled round. you stiil
desire to become Salvation Army
lassie. the editor will wish you God
speed.
