it?"
Miss TOppan was next asked il she
had ever experienced any feeling of
remorse. Her reply was: mo. 1 have
absolutely no remorse. 1 have never
felt CORY for WHAT have done. Even
when 1 poisoned dearest friends. as
the Davises were. 1 did not feel any
regret afteTward. I do not feel any
remorse now. 1 have thought 1t all
over and I cannot detect the slightest
feeling Of sorrow over what I have
DONE" The woman had only one rea-
son for believing she might be insane.
That was because her memory occa-
sionally failed.
The profession Of nursing is one Of
the greatest in the world and it is for
tunate for the nurses that Miss Top
pans case is absolutely isolated. Few
professions are more necessary; hard
~ one is of more benefit to the human
race. The professional nurse is d SOL
der who does her duty cheerfully, will
ingly; occasionally she lays down her
life for a patient and she does it with
a self-abnegation more beautiful than
any other form of heroism, because
she has less inspiration.

NERVE FAILED HIN.
Story of a Panama Hat and a
Troubled Benedict.


The man looked hang-dog and guilty.
He walked up the steps of his home
with his shoulders sort Of hunched for9
ward
There was a furtive, hunted express
sion on his face,
On his head was a $50 Panama.
He had paid $40 for 1t that afternoon.
This is why he looked guilty.
During all of his previous married
life he had been stalking himself to lids
Of the $2.3S brand.
But he had been aching and hunger
ing for his $40 Op-piece, and in a mo-
ment Of recklessness he had bought it
for himself
But as he went up the steps he looked
mighty hang-dOg and guilty.
He knew that when he broke the
news to his wife there'd be something
doing, and quick at that.
1t made no difference that he had
blown her to so spring hat only a
month or so ago.
He knew that.
But he had firmly made up his mind
on the way UP in the car that he'd
boldly tell her that he'd dug $50 for the
hat, and take what was coming to him.
She was upstairs when he let himself

he heard her descending the stairs.
He felt that his time was coming
pretty swift. AS she got TO the bottom
of the stairs, however, all his nerve
fooled out
why, what a pretty hail" she ex-
claimed, picking the hat off the rack
as she entered the hall. How much?'
It was now or never with him.
1t was the chance of his life to assert
himself and make a stab at picking il
up and running away with it.
But his knees shook beneath him and
the hot beads began to pour from his
forehead.
Three 'n-a-half." he replied weakly.
and then he tossed in bed all night try
ing to dope it out how he'd explain for
the expenditure of the remaining $3.50
that he'd paid for the Panama head
gear.

JANE TOPPAN, MuRDEREss.

n INTERESTING STUDY is az
"A forded criminologists in the case of
Miss Jane Toppan, a trained nurse,
who has Just been committed for life
to a Massachusetts, asylum for the
insane. BY her own confession. Miss
Toppan has killed thirty-one people,
all of them by the administration Of
poison. She was examined by a COM
mittee of alienists and It was decided
that she has lost her mind. Still Miss
Toppan was able to talk inteIligently
about her crimes.
She said that she did not remember
what poisons she had used on all of her
victims. There were so many that her
recollection was not equal to the task.
As a general rule, though, she said she
used morphine and atropine tablets in
mineral water or whisky. This was
because atropine and morphine are
vegetable poisons and it is very diff
cult to detect them. When one OF her
lawyers said to her: Miss Toppan,
you must be insane" she replied:
Insane? How can 7 be insane? When
/ killed those people I knew that ]
was doing wrong. I was perfectly con-
scious that what / was doing was not
right / never at any time failed to
realize what was doing. Now how

what she is doing and who is con-
scious Of the fact that she is not do

Rings from out the pitchered sprinkle

And from room TO room he scurries,
Leaving here and there glad ice

THOMPSON AND SHEETS.

his determination that ex-Detective
Sheets shall be rewarded for political
services in the mayors behalf last fall.
Rather than see his favorite kept out
Of a job for which he is manifestly un-
fit. the mayor has suspended action on
the nominations for additional police
and is using his executive power as a
club to compel payment of his cam
paign debts.
Whether considered as politics or as
public service. the mayors attitude
toward the council is exceptionally stu
pid. even for him. He cannot hope to
have public opinion with him. Sheets
only qualification for police place was
his ability to round up the tough ele-
ment at the polls. He was a shining
success at that, aud by just that much
is not a desirable officer.
He was a disturbing element in the
force, insubordinate to his chief. and

except his personal service to Thomp-
son. it has not been mentioned.
To appoint Sheets is to invite a repe-
tition OF the discord and ineficiency
which marked the administration Of
police affairs under Hilton; and if the
mayor has any regard for the public
welfare or for his own political future,
he win let Sheets drop, or else pay him
out Of his own pocket for the political
work which the mayor seems to feel is
q personal obligation.

THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH.

THE BEST BAROMETER Of a states
1 progress is the growth or failure
Of its educational institutions; the best
capital a state can have is an army OF
energetic, wide awake. intelligent and
educated young men and young wO-
men. In the growth of the University
Of Utah during the more than half
century since it was founded, all who
are interested in the cause Of educa-
ton must find a source Of qualification.
The Herald has received from the
board Of regents a copy Of the Univer-
sty annual for 1g02-o3.
A brief history Of the institution pre-
cedes the information about its eurricu-
Ia. the requirements for admission and
the work accomplished during the
school year Just ended. The legisla-
tive assembly Of the provisional gov
eminent OF Utah passed an act Feb.
Is. 1850, Incorporating the University
Of the state Of Deseret. Two weeks
later the first board of regents met and
formally organized. with Orson Spen-
Ger as chancellor. In November of the
same year the university was thrown
open TO students, DR.. Cyrus Collins be-
ing in charge as instructor.
But the time was inauspicious. The
people were more interested in MAX
ing homes for themselves, in filling
the soil and in the many necessary
employments Of pioneer days to devote
much attention to higher education.
So the university was temporarily dis
continued in 1851. For sixteen years it
had but a nominal existence, but in
1867 ID. o. Calder was installed as in
structor and a number of students en-
tered. The real university, however.
may be said to date from March s,
1859, when DR.. John r. Park was
elected president. An educator of far
more than ordinary ability, DIR. Park
instilled virile, active life into the mort
bund institution, and from that day
its progress has been steady and sure.
Since DR.. Park resigned. in 1892. the
university has had two presidents. For
two years DR.. J. r. Kingsbury was at
its head as acting president. Then DR..
j. T.. Talmage was made president and
served until 1897, when he resigned and
DR.. kingsbury was elected 10 succeed
him. Under his administration the uni
versity has grown until it is recog-
nized educational power, not only in
Utah, but in all the intermountain
country. Its students are drawn from
Idaho Colorado, Nebraska, Montana,
wyoming and other states, and Mexico
IS also included in the list. Last year
there were az students at the univer-
sity

his charge in 1855 and was restored after

Vac Breezr western Way.


The chaperon is not so much Of an
institution in the breezy west as she
is in the east, and in some quarters
there are rather hazy ideas as to her
duties and responsibilities. One west
ern girl the freedom of whose life had
made her exceptionally independent
and self-Teliant, gave an excellent illus
tration of this at an eastern summer
resort. She was under the protecting
wing Of an eastern matron with very
strict ideas of pTopriety. The matron
found her charge one day sitting on the
hotel yeranda with a strange man, and
naturally she was perturbed. She took
a chair reasonably near them, to give
the girl chance to present the young
man, but the girl ignored her. Finally,
in desperation, the matrOn tried to in
struct the girl by signals what to do,
but the latter only smiled and shook
her head.
When the young man lefts the ma
tron asked who he was.
"Oh, he's from Denver" answered
the girl.
1T is a chaperon's duty to decide
who are proper acquaintance for a
young girl, explained the matrOn.
You should have presented him to
me-"
Il suppose So" answered the girl,
nonchaIantly, "but, you see, he hasn't
a very good reputation. and so !
thought it better you shouldn't meet
him"
On another occasion this girl, who
thought 1t her duty to protect the
chaperon, was present when an inter-
national marriage was under discus
sion.
We'll" she announced decisively,
I'D never buy a husband, anyway"
"Oh. this wasn't that kind of a mar
riage." explained one of the other girls
"Of course, she's rich, but she didn't
have to settle any part Of her fortune
on him. He is merely to have so much
a year"
Perhaps that's safer" admitted the
westerneT, without any effort to conceal
her contempt, but buying on the in
stallment plan always seems TO me IN
satisfactory and cheap"

sAKABULA PLUMEs.
Feathers From a Rare South African
Bird.

EeaJnerS from Rare South African
Bird.
New York Evening Post)
An echo of the late war in South At
RIGA is to be found in New York in the
form of ornaments made from the
sakabula Plumes. They are very beau
tiful. They are made by a widow Of a
Boer officer, who is now trying to sup
port herself in this way. The saka-
bula is as rare a bird in South Africa
as the impeyah is in the Himalayas.
It belongs to the pheasant family, and
bears some resemblance to the bankiva
in the Philippines. The tail feathers
are curved, slender and Of a wonderful
chestnut color, which shades from the
hghtest hue into a red brown, almost
maroon. At the tip Of each feather is
a white eye, which throws the sur
rounding tint into very high relief. The
other feathers are small and brilliant,
some of them having a semi metallic
luster on the edge.
They were used by the Zulu and Mat
abele warriors as an ornament Of the
highest value. and are said to have
many supersutiOns attaching to them.
They are part of the head dressing
of the chiefs and of the professional
uniform of the witch finders. These
medicine men manufactured a head
dressing Of the plumage, combined with
small, dried bladders, skewers and or
naments, fashioned out of tusks and
lions teeth. The tail feathers stood UP
and produced an effect that was both
picturesque and CHASTITY.

JUST ABOUT BICYCLES.

HTHE ROAD FROM IPSWICH to
L Wilton said a London paper
published in the year 1St9, IS travelled
every evening by several pedestrian
hobby horses; no less than six are seen
at time. The crowded state of Lon
don does not admit of this novel mode
Of exercise. and it has been put down
by the magistrates OF police" The
pedestrian hobby horse" was the IA
Their of the bicycle During the census
year ending May 81, 1900, 1,1s2.S5O BIZ
cycles. worth nearly S24OOOOO were
made in the United states.
The growth OF the bicycle is interest
ing. The first for which any sort OF
utility was claimed was invented by a
German, Baron Carl Won Drais of Man
helm on the Rhine, in 1916. The con-
trivance was named for the inventor
being called the draisine. 1t consisted
of two wooden wheels. one in front of
the other, and connected by a bar on
which a saddle was placed. There was
also a handle bar with which to guide
the machine. The vehicle was propelled
on the level OF on an upgrade by the
riders feet, which rested on the ground.
Going down hill. Of course. the feet
were lifted and the rider coasted.
In 1921 Louis Gompertz, an Englis>-
man, invented a bicycle which was pro-
PEELED by the hands. From that time
until 1856 various Improvements were
attempted. but they met with little ia
vor. In the year mentioned Pierre -LaI-
lement came over to the United States
from France with a wooden bicycle
operated by means Of a foot crank. He
rode his machine on the streets of New
Haven, Conn. and attracted the atten-
ton of James Carroll. who was quick
to see the possibilities of the idea. A
patent was obtained in November, 1866,
and soon afterward the work Of man
ufactuTe was begun.
other inventors turned their atten-
ton to bicycles. and by 1869 they had
come into wide, popular favor. The
furore ragged for two years and was
then abandoned because the wheels
were too cumbersome. Progress there
after was slow until. in 1874. J. X. Star
ley Of England. patented what he called
the Tangent wheel. English bicycles
were exhibited at the Centennial expo
sitiOn in 1876 and attracted the atten-
ton of Colonel A. a. Pope. who soon
interested American capital in a man
ufactory.
Bicycles were first made with high
front wheels and very small rear
wheels Then solid rubber tires were
used. These gave way to cushion tires,
and these, in turn. to pneUmatics and
the modern safety" The latter is a
comparatively modern product, having
originated as late as 1889. And it may
interest readers to learn that the pneu-
matte was the result Of an inspiration
by an Irish veterinary surgeon who at
tached a piece Of rubber hose to his
sons bicycle.
Today the bicycle is recognized as
one Of the most important factors of
intra- mural and even inter urban
transportation.

MI. Cannon's Left Hand.


When Representative Cannon, some
times called the Watch Dog of the
Treasury" because of his position Of
chairman Of the house committee on ap-
preparations, addresses the house, he in
variably gesticulates madly with his left
hand. In fact, il is asserted that It
would be impossible for him TO talk with
out saving the air with his good strong
left.
Some years ago, when Sunset Cox Of
New York was speaker pro TEN, Mr..
Cannon went to him and asked for rec
ignition TO speak on a certain bill which
was deeply interested in the measure.
"All right, Cannon said Mr. Cox.
TN recognize you when the bill comes
up"
How much time will you give me?'
inquired Mr. Cannon.
We'll. smiled Mr.. Cox, you can speak
just as long as you keep your left hand
in your pocket
Thank you. that viii give me all the

The bill came up. Mr.. Cannon took the
floor and addressed the chair. He had
not spoken thirty second when up flew
his left hand TO emphasize sentence.
and the speakers gavel sounded with a
whack. and Mr.. Cox. amid laughter, said:
The gentleman's time has expired.
However, according TO the story, some
member came TO Mr.. CannOns rescue
and yielded him time in which 10 make
his speech.
