Insists That she Is Dead.

The physicians report strange case
in Avana township, Ill. Mrs. John
Linsey has been lying very i'll for the
past nine weeks with fever. During
seven weeks of this time she has been
possessed of strange hallucination.
Notwithstanding she has been gradu-
ally improving. she declares she Is
dead, and insists on having her body
prepared for burial. Every effort on
the part OF the attending physician and
her friends has been made to disabuse
her mind of this, but to no avail. She
says her body must be buried; that It
is not right to hold 1t so long after
death.

ton of being the home of the only

In the United States who Is a colored
man, says the Denver News. s. B.
Mackey, the chief operator of the Col
orado G Northwestern railway, not
only fills the position OF head of the
telegraph department of the road, but
he is equally efficient as train dis
patcher and private secretary to Gen.
eral Manager Culbertson. He is a
stenographer and typewriter of special
ability and his gentlemanly address
and ability in everything he under
takes have made him highly popular
among citizens of Boulder.
Mackey is native or Greenville,
Pennsylvania, where he was educated
in the public schools. After gradual
ing from the high school he pursued
a special course of studies at Teal col
lege. Since arriving at Boulder he
has found time to study Latin and
French and next fall he will enter
upon a special course in the State
university. He is now twenty-eight
years of age, active, energetic and
wide awake to the intrests of his en-
ployers. Recently he undertook the
issuance of an elegantly illustrated
pamphlet upon Boulder county. The
title of the publication is Picturesque

Boulder has another colored man
who is gaining wide reputation on ac'
count of special ability. His name is
o. T. Jackson. Last year when the
board of directors of the Chautauqua
looked about for man to take charge
of the Chautauqua dining hall and
cafe, Jackson was selected for the po
sition. He filled it so well that he is
in charge for the approaching session
He employs sixty or seventy-five per
sons to assist in the work and his au

Sailor Poets Wanted

An English literary writer says that
"the time is fully ripe for the advent
of sailor poet and the marine engi-
neer poet. Whether they write in
terms of rhyme or no l care not. A
virgin field awaits them, a noble in.
heritance, maturing for ages. They
can, If they come, utterly refute the
false and foolish prattle of the arm
chair philosophers and prove triumph
antly that so far from the romance
and poetry of the sea being dead it has
hardly yet been given any adequate
expression whatever"
