PECULIAR
PHASE OF.
INSANITY
Mother DiSiOters Dead Baby
and Washes Its Face
ACCORDING TO A DRFAM
Which Told Her That Life
Would Be Restored.
ACCORDING TO A DREAM

Guthrie o. T.. Feb IA sad tale is
that told by the Taloga Advocate. It is
this: Mrs Charles H. Bohan Of near
Camargo, in the extreme western part Of
the county, wa sadjudged insane by the
board OF insanity Tuesday.
This was one OF the most singular and
at the same time pitiabIe cases that has
ever come before the board in Dewey
county, inasmuch as Mrs. Bohan is the
mother Of a very large family and most
Of the children are quite young.
The Bohan claim IS located on Wagon
creek and IS in a region Of the country
that IS cut up by huge canyons, most Of
them having deep holes OF water sup
piled by springs which are usually found
near the head Of the canyon where num-
erous hills converge and form a scrt Of
a basin which breaks off into gulchss or
canyons varying in depth from fifty TO
three hundred feet and the banks Of
which are often perpendicular. One day
last August the Bohan children were out
playing and one, a bright child two
years old, wandered far up one of the
canyons, fell into a deep pool Of water
and drowned before It's parents were
aware Of its whereabouts. From the
awful shock thus caused by the sudden
and untfmely death Of her babe. which a
few minutes before being brought home
a corpse was pratting its baby talk with
the other children. the mother never full
" recovered. At her request the re-
mains were laid to rest in a nearby Gene
terry Mrs. Bohau continued to brood
over the loss Of the child until her mind
became unbalanced. Nothing Of a serious
nature developed, however. until a few
weeks ago. when a peculiar form Of de-
fusion seemed to have gained absolute
control Of her already demented mind,
and she imagined she had a revelation
from God to the effect that If she would
disinter the body and wash the face Of
the corpse it would come to life. Acting
upo nthis delueion she secured the body
and carried # to the house without being
discovered. Il was buried again, where
upon a second attempt was made to dis
inter it by the demented mother.
She was brought to Taloga Tuesday
and examined by the board of insanity,
which recommended that she be sent to
the asylum for the insane, but her
brother desired TO care for her and was
permitted to take her to Iowa for treat
ment.

Feeds
the Hair

Have you ever thought why
your hair IS falling out? 1t is
because you are starving your
hair. IF this starvation CON
tlnues, your hair will continue
to fall.
There is one good hair food.
1t IS Ayers Hair Vigor. It
goes right to the roots of the
hair and gives them just the
food they need. The hair
stops falling, becomes healthy,
and grows thick and long.
Ayers Hair Vigor does
another thing, also: it always
restores color to faded or gray
hair.

A LOCK OF HAIR.
And Why the Young ladies Asked for
the cIerqyman's.

A venerable. white-haired clergyman
recently preached in the parish of a
friend. He had hardly got back to
the vicarage from the church when
the door bell rang, and a charming
girl of eighteen asked to see him. He
received her. They talked about the
sermon and other things. until finally
she asked, diffidently:
oh, won't you please give me a
lock of your hair?"
Certainly, my child" said the old
gentleman, flattered at the request II
send it to you tomorrow" And he
did.
On his return to his own home he
had five more requests of the same
kind. and he proudly boosted to his
wife that he was glad to see that he
had not yet lost his power to please.
All went we'll until his wife received
Ibis note:
Dear Mrs. -: Won't you please
ask your husband to send me Just a
little lock of his hair? We have all
been taking lessons in making hair
flowers. So many Of the girls have
asked him, and he sent it to them,
that thought would rather ask you
to get it for me. Won't you please do
this for me. 1t is SO hard to get white
hair for lilies of the valley"
This was terrible blow, and the

that old gentleman's presence the bet.
