sion. ne was not willing to go to ex-
tremes in proving it.
Garbault, however was not so easily
satisfied. He argued that the world
should know wherein DR.. Koch's ar
guments were correct and wherein
they were lacking in fact. He was
young, in perfect health, had received
the degree of doctor of natural scien-
ces, and had held the position of
chief of the researches in zoology
and comparative anatomy at the Uni
Versity Of Bordeaux Therefore when
he offered himself to DR.. Koch for
purposes of demonstration there was
a perceptible stir among medical
men. DR.. Koch consistently refused
to consider the offer and Garbault
continued his investigation TO show
that the theory of the German Scien-
tist with reference to tuberculosis
incubation was incorrect. When he
offered himself to science he was firm
" convinced that he would catch the
disease and in all probability could
not be cured. He spent year or
more IN further research of eases Of
tuberculosis with the avowed purpose
of refuting the Koch thesis.
Even then he was not satisfied.
He still believed that a practical test
should be made, yet he was not will

periment which DR.. Koch had refused

IN TIME OF DANGER.
Many Lives Saved by What Is
Called Presence of Mind.
Men, Women and Children who
AVeFted Death by Thinking and
Acting QuickIy-StOry of q
Canine Hero.

There are certain mysterious attri-
bUtes Of the human mind which battle
even the most searching scientific in
yestigatiOn. For instance, who can
account with any degree of satisfaction
for that mental condition inspired by
emergency and commonly designated
as presence of mind? Hundreds Of lives
are saved every year through the brain
function which makes it possible for
human beings to think and act quick
ly with seemingly supernatural pow
ers, yet no one can say positively
whether he possesses a mind so en-
dowed until opportunity opens the way
for a practical demonstaticn.
BY considering cases where lives have
been spared through presence of mind
il viii be seen that even in accidents
of the most shocking character per-
sons are snatched out of the jaws OF
death by the ability of the mind to
remain active even under exceedingly
trying conditions. Oftentimes it is the
person who afterwards is heralded
as hero who displays wonderful pres
ence of mind, and not infrequetly it is
the victims themselves. But the gen.
eral principle is the same in both cases.
Another remarkable feature about the
mental activity known as presence of
mind is that il is as well developed in
children as among grown persons.
This fact is proved by the heroic con-
duct of 6-year-old Edith Ruthem, Of
New Brunswick. Y. J. The tot started
from her home to take her small broth
er for walk. The children passed
directly in front of a rapidly approach
ing trolley car. The mother shrieked
a warning and with wonderful GOODNESS

The whole proceeding appeared to
appeal to Mrs. Keim as a huge joke.
She laughed continuously, and even
the dignified magistrate was affected
by her good humor.
Now, l tell you what to do" he
said to Keim; will you be satisfied
if your wife drinks only what you
give her?"
YES" he answered.
And you will promise not to drink
any more than your husband gives

Keim.

presence of mind rushed to the power

The fact that Gregory McGregor, a
master plumber Of Elizabeth. y. j.,
was a thin man with presence Of mind,
also saved his life. He was crossing
the iron girder bridge Of the Jersey
Central when an express train over
took him. To continue across the
bridge was an mpossibility. and there
was no way for him 10 get out Of the
path Of the train except by pressing
himself tightly against the iron work
OF the bridge. The situation flashed
across his mind in an instant, and. by
accepting the one avenue of escape.

Animals are frequently no less he

MARTYR TO SCIENCE.
Tries to Get tuberculosis to Prove
His Pet Theory.
French Doctor Believes That Com
sumption Can lie Transferred
from Cows To Human beings
and lnOeuIRtes Himself

Paul Garbault. a young and promis-
ing French physician, has placed his
life II the balance in order TO prove
or uIsproVe a theory. He does not be-
lleYe with Robert Koch, the eminent
German scientist doctor, that the
tuberculosis of men and animals is so
widely different that neither can be in
oculated with tubercular germs taken
from the other, and in order that the
world may know which is right Gar
bault has taken a step which he be-
heVes may end his life.
Unlike most persons who offer them
selves upfor the benefit of science, Gar
DauIt has gone into the matter from a.
positive standpoint. Heretofore, when
scientists have been deSirOus Of prov
ing that such a condition is, or is not
true, they have taken up the problem
on its negative side, and have shown
how various contagious and infectious
diseases cannot be acquired. Thus the
subjects upon whom the experiments
are performed are reasonably sure of
'4-A c'4E Al tAAE Ol NCdl ana coming
out safely enough. But Garbault oc-
cupies another position. He believes
II Is possible for man TO contract con-
sumption by incubation from boyines.
Soon after DR.. Koch had cOnclUsively
proved one-haIf of his claim by demon
strating that cows inoculated with
germs of human tuberculosis would
not become infected with the disease.
Garbault, who was intensely interested
in the experiment, offered himself as
a subject TO test the validity Of the
other part of the claim-that the same
results would be obtained by inoculat-
ing a human being with bovine tuber-
culOsis. DR.. Koch was too conscieE-
tiOus 10 burden his soul with any
such experiments, for, while he was
convinced of the truth of his concIu-

farm which he owned in the suburbs,
and il whose management he took
great interest. Frequently he re-
lieved the tedium of the business life
with trip out TO the farm to in
spect the place. On one OF these Wis
its he strolled out to the piggery.
The ever-ravenOus porkers heard him
coming, and, persistently on the look
out for feeding time, they scrambled
into the trough and braeed their feet
against the side of the pen.
As Mr.. Chisholm peered over the
fence the hungry swine, with a huff
and a puff, began to grunt, 'Heugh,
heugh."

the same time she tried TO strike the
reptile with her club, but the snake
was too quick for her.
Finally, after a struggle Of nearly an
hour, she drove the reptile into a cor
ner and killed il with the club.
The reptile proved to be a water
snake about three feet in length. How
it got into the cellar is not known.

Petition for Pardon Of ]. W. Clark, Con
ucted Of Felony.
3overnor All T.onpino

To Governor All. Longino:
At the May term 1928. Of the circuit
court of the first judicial district of the
county of Perry, J.. w. Clark was tried
and convicted on charge or robbery,
and was sentenced TO serve ten years in
the state penitentiary, to which he was
carried few days thereafter, aud that
he has been in the said penitentiary
continually since that time.
AT the time OF said conviction saiS
Clark was only twenty-three years old,
in good health, but that soon after his
confinement in the penitentiary his
health gave way and has since that time
continually to the present time been
very bad and that he lie not able to do
much work; and that he is also.ruptured
and in the year 1900 he had a very hard
spell of typhoid pneumonia, from which
he has never sufficiently recovered to be
able TO do manual labor, and he has
very little hopes of ever regaining his
health while he is confined.
During all the time he has been serv-
ing under said sentence, he has never
caused any trouble to the persons having
charge of him. but on the other hand he
has always been obedient, in the com.
pliance with the commands and require
ments of those in whose charge he has
been.
We, therefore, believing that the ends
of justice have been fully met in his
case. and owing to the impaired condi-
ton of his health, together with the fact
that he has never given any trouble,
respectfully petition that he be granted
full pardon.
Very respectfully yours.
