Palma. While riding furiously almost
at the head Of his company Steinberg-
er's horse stumbled and fell. The
soldier was thrown violently over the
animals head, striking upon his own
head on pile Of rocks. He immedi>

taken to hospital, and, although he
was able torelate the manner In which
he was hurt, has memory and all
power Of observation left him from

Since the accident Steinberger has
lived the life Of those who lived fifty
three years ago and nothing was ever
changed to him. During that long
period OF mental alteration he has FREE
quently said that he was twenty one
years Of age and that at the next cleo
ton he FULLY intended to cast his vote
for Gen. Taylor for the Presidency. A
day or two ago while he was watching
some workmen operating a buzz saw,
he was struck on the head with piece

to him, and his complete bewilder-

appliances was laughable had it not
been that those who knew the case
were disposed to entertain sympathy
for him. He wandered around town

Modern Proverbs.

Life is a bureau drawer which

lessly trust our fingers at the things

Woman can't throw a stone, but
when she drops a flower pot out the
window she always hits somebody.
The ideal woman Is one whose pre-
served strawberries hold out until
fresh strawberries get cheap,
Three>iourths OF the bread cast up
