" William Boyd Mckenna. the
famous expert in insanity, who
tells this story. He has told me
many. the majority OF which should
not be repeated in Il world where every
individual may read sufficient horrors
from the scroll of his OWN destiny. This
tale, however. is merely odd.
A man whom | will name Brown
called upon me at my office one day. |
had never had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. Brown before.
When we got down to business it np-
peared that Mr.. Brown could not sleep,
or, to be more exact. he could not sleep
cOnsecutively.

"Haye you had any alarming expert

Mr.. Brown replied i'll the negative.

He did, however.
"a coward. I'm afraid" he continued
after pause. but there is nothing
to be afraid Of. ana even 4 coward
needs some excuse for fear"
This H. not true, of course. There is
terror without cause ana without cow

human mechanism manufactures its

In my opinion he was the victim Of
fixed idea or persistent mental image,
probably of Il horrible nature. and SO
influential in the realm of his thought
that it held sway even in sleep and
drove him back i'll terror from the
pleasant land of dreams. 1t remained
for me to find out what this terror was

On the occasion of his first visit l did
not think best to antagonize him by

gave him dozen tablets containing

with him for the day after tomorrow.
He came promptly. looking very bag
gard and scared. and l had a serious
talk with him, entirely destitute of
value to either of us. Upon this occa-
sion he came near to convincing me
that he really did not know what he
was afraid of nor what dream it was
that invariably walked him.
Naturally | had asked him early
whether he had any enemies. and he
had replied that he had none. But the
answer had been given in such way
as to leave the impression with mt

his own part cherished no rational ami

WANTS THE MONEY SPENT AT
HOME.

There is more than one phase of the
Panama canal proposition and much viii
be heard of it On the hustings before a
vessel ever crosses the isthmus Its con-
~struction has been the dream of a cen
fury, Jefferson writing about it before
1890.
Mr. George W. Franklin, who signs
himself "A Citizen Tax Payer CT the
United States" has issued a long letter
protesting against the expenditure of $500.
900, 900 to construct the canal when there
is a pressing demand for the expenditure
Of that sum for the Improvement Of har-
bors, rivers and waterways In our coun-
try. He says that the bankrupt Panama
company has already spent $500, GOO, 900.
and he says it will cost this country at
least that sum to complete it. 1t may
cost more, nobody can tell. From his
letter this extract is taken:
The waterways, rivers, harbors ami
docks of the United States are in a more
primitive, uninproved and deplorable con
ditlon than in any other civilized coun-
try, such as England, France, Germany,
Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, nor
way and Russia.
At New York, our finest natural har-
Dor, the neglect and apparent poverty %
the government has been so great that
the docks and piers are crudely construc-
ted of timber, causing CONGREGATIONS
which ave resulted in terrible losses OF
lives and property. The great Mississippi
river system has caused enormous loss
of lives and property because of the pow
erty and neglect of our government.
The state of Texas has many times the
population Of Panama and has magnifi-
cent natural waterways and harbors. 1t
will, no doubt, permit river, harbor and
waterway improvements to be made with
out first demanding a payment of $50, 00O,-

DISCOVERY OF RAD!UM.

At q time when the illustrated maya
zines and wecklies are printing pictures
Of the discoveries of radium, and telling
uS something Of it's properties, it is par
turn to the December number of the At
lantic Monthly, where Professor John
TroWbridge OF Harvard University dis
cUsses the discovery of radium as Il New
Revelation in Science. Professor Trow-
bridge, than whom no man is better
qualified to speak with authority, ex-
pounds the practical and philosopbic I'M
port Of the marvellous new metal very
iIformingly. His concluding paragraph
is especially suggestive:
The new revelation in science is GER
tainly far-reaching, and it is comforting
in the sense that more is vouchsafed as
MAI becomes ready to receive. The word
revelation has hitherto had its chief sig
nificance in a religious sense; and in this
sense our fOrefatherS is contingent upon
our Investigations. In the scientific
world there are no revelations which 10
not result from a long continued and a
hopeful spirit. The intellectual quail
ties here are indispensable. There are
epochs of revelation, however, and the
student Of the history of science can per
ceiye Il gradual uplifting of the state
of our knowledge which is symbolized
in the material world by the uplifting of
continents"

CHANGED HIS TUNE.

A mother and baby entered a closed Broadway car at Fourteenth street and straightway the little one began to cry.
 The men in the car-and nearly all the passengers were men-pulled their papers up closer to their faces and tried to shut out the noise.:
 The baby cried the more.
 As the car pulled up with a jerk, to avoid running into a blockaded truck at the Grace church corner, the chimes began to ring. The first few notes gave no clew of the selection.
 Suddenly the baby ceased crying and crowed.
 Then it came to the passengers that the chimes were ringing out the we'd ding march from "Lohengrin.'
 The baby crowed again.
 One by one the papers dropped, dis closing smiling faces. The motormar had a grin, the conductor chuckled and the baby kept on growing.
 The bridal procession crept out of the church. The blockade straightened itself out. With clang of bell tine car started on toward the Battery. The chimes died away.-New York Tribune.

HIS SUMMER VACATION
Visit ofErnest Lamson, Actor, Play
 wright and Arizona Missionary.

Ernest Lamson of New York. brother of Captain F.. M. Lamson of this city. arrived here yesterday morning and expects to remain about three weeks. His summer vacation will be a short one this year, but he knows where to come to get the best for his money.
 Mir. Lamson. who is an actor, is al- ready quite we'll known here. having made several previous visits and having invested more or less in Salt river valley lands. He was one of the first to sign his holdings for water storage and his purpose in coming now is mainly to get a closer view of how the enterprise is moving along.
 In his professional work MT. Lamson is enjoying prosperity and achieving success in various ways. He is con- nected with the company playing York State Folks" throughout the east, and 1t is the purpose of the company to open the next season early. Mir. Lam son expects to spend the first ten weeps of the next season with that company and then go on the road with a com pany playing a production of his own called Young Tobe Hoxie "a piece simi- lar in some respect to York State Folks" and one in which he has al- ready spent much time and money in getting ready for the stage.
 MT. Lamson says that in Ine last year he has met a great many people who were inclined to knock Arizona both in the matter of statehood and irriga- tiCn enterprises. and it has afforded him a great deal of pleasure to be able to enlighten some of them on these sub jects He Is a live missionary among a people that in many ways still sit in darkness.

DIDN'T SEE THE RACE.

It was five-furlong race for two year olds-one of those races where your eyes get tired watching the ten or twelve jockeys getting ready to start, where they fairly ache as false start after start is made; one of those short races where you hardly have time to enthuse.
 The two men strained their eyes for fully fifteen or twenty minutes trying to decide which horse was which, as the colors of the jockeys intermingled the other side of the oval It had been:
 They'll get away now. No: the green sulked."
 "There they go. sure! No; they're strung way out"
 "It takes 'em long time to get back to the post. Now they're off, Hang it. that jockey ought to be disciplined"
 Finally the Irishman's eyes grew tir- ed and he closed them for an instant Then it was that his friend gave that final shout that every one knows and that carries conviction with it:
 They're off"
 The Irishman passed his hand quick ly across his eyes. looked up. and re- sponded:
 We're a liar; they've finished" They had.-Brooklyn Eagle.
