FORGETTING NAMES.
Aphasia and the Curious Situations
1t Sometimes Leads To.

Among the minor mental complaints
with which we are sometimes afflicted,
especially in society, is what might be
called social alteration, the symptoms
being a curious stoppage of the current
Of thought, which causes us suddenly
to be completely oblivious to the sub
ject of conversation, and which leaves
us ridiculously at loss for an intelligent
rejoinder to the remarks of any one
with whom we may be talking. One
of the many phases Of this popularity
is the forgetting of names with which
we ought to be perfectly familiar, leav-
ing us in a most awkward and mortify-
ing situation. This sudden forgetful-
ness may affect the young as well as
the old, but of course, with the latter
it is Immediately ascribed to mental
failure.

quaintances, speaking of certain
grand dame. ut was too funny, the
other day, at one of her receptions, to
see her introduce a visitor to a friend
of hers who was stopping in the house.
She began with the friend My dear,
want to present to you Mrs. - and
then she stopped. 1 knew in an instant
by the expression of her face that she
haQ forgotten the name. Hastily num-
bling something she recovered her self
possession and proceeded: / know
you win be mutually interested, she
continued with a happy inspiration of
memory, as you are both fond of mu-
sic. My friend, Mrs -. Here she
hesitated again; in her agitation she
had forgotten the other name. Anoth-
er humble, and then concluding with
the words, a rare performer she sal
lied off with dignified and apparent I'M
consciousness. The two women looked
at each other and laughed having
grasped the situation.
" I am Mrs. Smith, said one, and I
am Mrs Brown replied the guest of
the house Poor, dear Mrs. X! Her
memory is not as good as it used to
be-"
People have even been known to for
get their own names on occasions, with
out any other sign of mental trouble,
and a case of a young woman who for
got the name of her tiance when asked
to introduce him to an acquaintance,
shows that it is not a failing of old age.
1t is simply g. curious little lapse of
memory to which we are all liable

A HEROIC SHEEP HERpER.
Stood BY His Flock Until Death Over
took Him, Guarded by His Faithful

If any one has concluded that the
time has passed when the'sefvant is as
| faithful to the interests of his master
as he could be to his own, he should
consider the story of the. recent biz
zard which swept through Teton coun-
| ty in the northern part of Montana, in
| a county given up to the raising of
| sheep and cattle. AS result of that
| storm nine men are known to be dead,
| and of these five bodies have been re-
| covered. With one exception all were
| sheepherders and all were found living
| in such positions as to indicate that
| they had stayed with their bands to
the last, dying in their attempts to
save property Of their employers.
William Graham, working for the
Cascade Land Company, was found in
couIee near Healy butte. 1t is evident
that he had tried hard through the
night to get his sheep into camp. but
had not succeeded. Conscious of tbe
death which was impending, he re-
turned to his tent about midnight. and
there wrote and left note saving he

to return to the sheep, which were

back and fell less than 200 yards from

party found his dog stretched across
