Two Observation-Disclosures cases of dual per-
sonality, one in this country and one in
England, have recently revived discus
sion of the Jekyll and Hyde phenomena,
which excites attention from time to time.
The American case is reported from Dem

ment. He picked himself up. went home
and conceived the idea Of writing a book.
The plan was put into execution and the
book was published. Then he woke up.
He remembered nothing whatever about
writing a book. When he read it he said
it was silly bosh. and he heartily disap-
proved of it.. 1s.-t
The English case is even more remarkable
in that it shows not a double but multi
pie personality. A young girl had an at
tack of illness, followed by partial paral-
ysis. She apparently recovered. but with
the characteristics and personality of a
three-year-old child. She talked baby talk.
Then another change came. and she as
sumed the character of Satan. She called
herself "Old Nick" and acted like one pos
sessed. Then she remained comatose for
six months Afterwards she became totally
deaf. Five other transformations followed
at varying intervals, during which she
regained her hearing. but lost her sight.

the Pretty Dear type.

CANADA'S DESTINY.
Lies I'm Linking Herself with the
Great Republic south of Her.

Great Republic south Of Her.
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
The Halifax Chronicles advocacy of the
complete separation of Canada from Great
Britain and the assumption Of the status
Of an Independent nation is Of a piece with
the disappointment felt in the Dominion
over the award of the Alaska boundary
commission. The Halifax Chronicle dis
cusses separation from Great Britain with
the preservation of nominal connection in
the continued admission of the sovereignty
of the British king as the alternative of
absolute independence, but prefers to be
without any such ENHANCEMENT The al
tentative position would mean divorce from
British parliamentary control and from
control of the imperial Cabinet which is
now, at least, theoretically superior to the
Canadian Parliament. 1t would give Can
ada legislative independence qualified only
by the veto power of the sovereign common
to both countries. The possession of COM
listers might not much alter present condi-
tions, even with the abrogation of the SUI
premacy of the British Parliament. There
is marked inconsistency, however, I'm the
attitude of the Chronicle, for while 1t is led
to it's conclusion in favor of absolute indie
pendence for Canada because of an
American victory In an arbitration, it argues
pendence would be that Canada would ac-
quire the protection of the Monroe doctrine.
1t partakes Of the humorous to find Ca
madam paper considering favorably the
protection of the Monroe doctrine-in other
words the protection Of the United States
as protest against a victory won by the
United States against Canada in an arbi-
tration proceeding. 1t is only step from
that however, to acceptance of the view
that if the protection of the Monroe doc
trine is a good thing the protection of the
Constitution of the United States must be
better. If Canada should cut loose from
Great Britain its proper place would be in
the American Union. But for many reasons
, we do not think that Canada is ready to cut
loose. We think that IL proposition for
separation came from the other side of the
Atlantic there would be a strong protest
from the Canadians. Their statesmen know
something that not all their editors seem to
know that Canada is now protected by both
Britain and the Monroe doctrine, and is in
the favored position Of keeping her own ma
tional course safeguarded as Is no indie
pendent state on earth.

MUST OWN PANAMA.


Gen. Sicl<les Says that Should BE Done
Before Digging the Canal.
New York Sun.
Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, who was sent to
Panama and Bogota on diplomatic mis-
sion shortly after the civil war, gave an
address on "The New Republic of Panama"
before the Patria Club at the Hotel Savoy
last night. General Sickles said that the
United States must have a sovereign right
over the Isthmus of Panama before 1t goes
ahead with the canal. He predicted that a
revolution would take place in Colombia
before the month is over. and added:
1--WE will soon be called upon to recognize
new government in Bogota. They will
come to us and ask for indemnity for all
they have suffered on the isthmus. 1t is
not at all unlikely that our government will
give them some of the money which they
would have had by the treaty and they
will go home too happy to strike bargain.

not easy to forecast, but 1t is probable that
there will be revolutions there. The United
States may endure this for awhile. but IL
would be absurd to spend hundreds Of mill
We must give up the canal or make up our
minds to be absolute masters Of the terri
General Sickles declared that the United
States was only performing its obvious and
imperative duty In recognizing the de facto
government I'm Panama.
"All the great powers of the world recog-
nize our duty. Does any one dissent ex-
cept among ourselves? Here thousand
voices declared that Roosevelt did it, Hay
did it. Outrageous they said brutal. dis
graceful Every adjective in the language
was exhausted to reproach the government.
1t was at once assumed that the govern
ment instigated the revolution. Have we
ever started a revolution anywhere? Or are
revolutions so rare in South America that
they need to be stimulated by foreign eff
forts?"
General Sickles said that the government
was only following precedent in recognizing
the Panama government and that in his
memory it had been called upon nineteen
or twenty times to recognize de facto gov
ernments in Central and South America
He said that the treaty of 1916 clearly pro-
vided that the United States should pro-
tect the government in the isthmus from
foreign aggression.
But does any one suppose for a mo-
ment." he added. that the United States
will guarantee a Central or South American
government from revolution"

Paper Joints for Skeletons.

''Not one skeleton in twenty that you In

doctors are the bones of one man or one wom-

plete skeleton is difficult thing to get. even
by physicians who want to put them to legiti-
mate use. Most of the skeletons in muse
ums are made from miscellaneous bones col
lected from hospitals all over the country.
There is regular trade in separate bones
for special studies. When a man who wants to
set UP a skeleton gets a good collection of bones
he employs an experienced anatomist to articu-
late il. But any expert can see that the joints
don't all belong to the same person. When
there any joints missing substitutes are

THE END JUsTIFIEs THE MEANS.

Under this caption the Logansport Jour-
nal notes that there is some talk in Indiana
that the Chicago authorities exceeded their
rights in trespassing upon Indiana in the
recent man hunt. The Journal proceeds:
1T may be that the Chicago police exceed
ed their authority, but if so, it has been in
a good cause. They caught the bandits. 1t
is to be hoped they will find law enough to
hold the prisoners and to properly punish
them. And ii may be said it would be more
creditable to the officials of Indiana to offer
assistance in cases of this sort than to do
the least thing to obstruct the course of jus
tice. State lines are no barriers against the
flight of criminals and they should not be
made barriers to interrupt pursuit. Crime
needs no encouragement in this country.
where it already flourishes more luxuriantly
than does Justice
There is ample precedent for the assump-
ton that no trouble will occur to the Chi
cago officers who so effectively accom-
plished what they set out to do. 1t will be
recalled that in October of 1888 one Howard
Clark, who had killed a policeman in Louis
vile and with a woman companion fled
down the Ohio river in boat, was pursued
by officers from Owensboro, KY, and land
ed at Rockport, Ind. He and the woman
had proceeded some distance along the road
north of town, when they were overtaken
by the Kentucky officers, in buggIes. A
rapid exchange of shots followed. both

Lloyd Mifiin's verses have the true po-
etic spirit They are. as whole. WELL

However one occasionally has the feeling
that the writer does not, after the first
inspiration and writing, take a view OF his
work with great enough perspective. The
revision. the discrimination of the cold
mind is what makes great poetry ont or
what is otherwise only a few grades less
than great. Mr.. Miffiin certainly has poetic
talent of a high order. but to the distin-
gushing mind he falls short OF what he Is
probably capable OF attaining. The follow
ing poem in memoriam of Maurice Thomp-
son will have sympathetic appeal to In
diana people:
A deeper hush is on the prairie's plain:
For In the dark Savannas pashy meads
The heron. lonelfer, stands among her weeds
And cen woodlands have a touch OF pain.
Gone Is the singer of the sylvan stra a.

of this book is the Comptesse Angelo
Potocka. who is a sister-in-law OF the
famous teacher. Hence the story OF his
professional life Is made more interesting
and entertaining by recital OF many inti-
mately personal Incidents and experiences
of his career. Leschetizky had a rarely
romantic. successful and happy life. so the
narrative is full OF Joy and color. The
translation is by Miss Genevieve Seymour

Concerning the Leschetizky method. the au-
thor says; "A great deal of what has been
said of the so-called Leschetizky method
has been without his consent or approval.
Speaking OF the method himself he says:
1t can easily be described in half a page,
but il would take volumes TO give any idea
of it, AS far as the position OF the hand
is concerned, il offers nothing strikingly
different from the common practice OF
modern virtuosi-a rather low pliable wrist.
high knuckles. curved fingers with Arm

teaching consists, l believe. in the absolute
obedience, the concentration of mind and

of suggestion.
