GOOD AND BAD MEMORIES.
Why Persons Forget Some Things and
Remember Others.

why Persons Forget Some Things and
Remember Others.
Good memory is subject regard
ing which a good deal of nonsense
is habitually talked. We often hear
people say that they have good
memory for certain things, but a
bad one for other things. This I be-
lieve to be delusion. A mans
memory may be good or it may be
bad, but it cannot well be good for
one thing and bad for another thing.
It might as well be said that bot
tie was good for holding brandy, but
bad for holding whisky. In the case
of feeble intellect all its faculties
will be feeble-memory, judgment
and all the rest--but they will not
be feeble for one purpose and Wig
orous for another purpose. The fact,
is that our memory is in itself equal
ly powerful or feeble for all pur-
poses, but we remember best those
things which interest us most and
so say that we have good memories
for such things, while we forget
those things which do not interest
us, and we say accordingly that we
have bad memories for those things.
Horace Walpole used to say that his
memory was all retentive as to the
names of persons and of places, but
that it was absolutely impotent in
regard to dates. 1t has been said
of him-by Macaulay, think that
he could tell you the name Of the
grandaunt Of King Ethelwald, but
that he could not tell you whether
she lived in the year 500 or in the
year 1900. The truth was that he
took an interest in names and gene
alogies, but none in dates. Similar
ly in his introduction to "Anne of
Geierstein" Scott aptly says:
81 have through life been entitled
to adopt old Beattie of Meiklidale's
answer to his parish minister when
the latter was eulogizing him with
respect to the same faculty. No,
DOCTOR said the honest border laird,
Z have no command of my memory;
it retains only what happens to hit
my fancy, and like enough, sir, if
you were to preach to me for cou-
pie of hours on end I might be I'M
able at the close Of the discourse to
remember one word of it, Perhaps
there are few men whose memory
serves them with equal fidelity as to
many different classes of subjects,
but I am sorry to say that while
mine has rarely failed me as to any
snatch of verse or trait of charac-
ter that had once interested my
fancy it has generally been frail
support not only as to names and
dates and other minute TECHNICAL
ties of history, but as to many more
important things"
No, it is pretty certain that we
have not got good memories for this
and bad memories for that in any
other sense than that we remember
that which interests us and forget
that which interests us not.-Notes
and Queries.

SHE GOT NO DIVORCE.
Judge Dale Has Peculiar Ideas About
Houses.

A good deal has been written about
the record of divorces in the Sedgwick
county district court but one case called
up yesterday terminated rather abruptly.
1t was as about abrupt as if Judge Dale
had picked the parties to the suit up
and dumped them all out of the window.
Maggie McAdams went to J. F. D.
Casey and told him that her husband had
deserted her and She wanted divorce
Being a lawyer Mn Casey prepared
petition and in the usual legal phrases
told how Maggie had been a good faith
full wife and that her husband, unmind-
full of mis- marital vows. had desterted
her
The case was TO be put through in
short order yesterday because Mr. Nc
Adams was not there TO answer for him
self Maggie went on the stand and in
modest words told of how her husband
had deserted her. Judge Dale seemed
to be interested in the case and he
popped" a few questions to the plaintiff.
He asked her where she lived and what
she was doing She lived on fremont
street and was keeping a house. The
Judge asked particularly about the house.
He has some very correct ideas about
houses and it was very evident that this
one which the plaintiff had described did
not please him.
In language more emphatic than grace
full he told the plaintiff that she would
not get decree of divorce from that
court. He told Mr.. Casey not to let any
grass grow under his feet but with due
diligence repair to the clerks office and
have this case dismissed. 1t was dis
missed

WAS BORN IN WICHITA

My Godr' exclaimed sixteen year old
Ella Mary selmer, as she keeled over in
chair and was dead before relatives with
whom she was living at $50 South Wash
ington- avenue, could reach her side This
occurred yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
Ella selner was born and grew up in
Wichita. She had lived here all her life
until about one year ago. when she and
her mother. Mrs. Mary Selmer. moved to
Kansas City TO live. They returned to
Wichita several weeks ago. Miss Selmer
was to make her home this winter with
her sister and brother-in-law, Mr.. am
Mrs. Bert Hodgson, at whose home she
died. Mrs. Selmer had intended TO go
to Oklahoma where she had decided to
make her home temporarily.
The dead girl had always been in the
best of health. She was apparently in
that condition and in the best OF spirits
when death came. She remarked once
or twice during the day of having fever.
but it did not seem TO worry her.
At the time she died. Miss SeImer was
seated in a large chair, rocking herself.
She had been chatting with her sister,
when the girl suddenly keeled over with
but a slight outcry and was dead. She
had passed away even before a doctor
could be summoned.
DR.. Taggert, who later called at the
home pronounced the girls death to
hemorrhage. Just what caused the hem
orrhage the doctor said he did not know.
He had only visited the girl once and
while she was always up and around and
appeared to be in the best of health, the
fever she mentioned on different occa-
sions. the doctor thinks was a touch of
typhoid. That disease often causes hem
orrhaEe.
Funeral services will be held at the
home on Washington avenue this after
noon at > O'Clock. 1nterment will be
made in Maple Grove cemetery.

ARE WAITING FOR CARS.
One Hundred Thousand Bushels o.
Wheat on Ground.

Z. c. Benton has returned from Rush
county where he has been running a
threshing machine for several weeks. He
tells some interesting stories about the
big crop of wheat in that county.
There have been stories published about
the farmers having to pile their wheat on
the ground because they could not get
cars TO ship it and not a few people have
pronounced these stories fakes. Mr. Ben
ton declared that he had seen in all one
hundred thousand bushels of wheat in
Rush county in comical piles on the
ground and the sky for a cover. The peo-
pie. he said were waiting for cars in
which TO ship IT,
Mr.. Benton says the people for whom
he threshed wheat were mostly Russians.
He said they were a very honest people
ard were making money and good homes
in Rush county.

Caution !!

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and a remedy that has had the largest
sale OF any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment OF Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we
called your attention to Boschee's Ger,
man Syrup. There are so many ordin-
ary remedies made by druggists and
Others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps. but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The 25 cent size
has just been introduced this year

Tacoma, issues an illustrated animal
number upon each New Year. Within
it's pages are to be found much valuable
information regarding the resources and
industrial institutions of Washington.
The eleventh annual number contains
facts and figures that will astonish al
most every one. The rate Of production
and the great increase in business tend
TO make higher valuations in prOpertv

PRICE FIVE CENTS.

The year just closed was an "off wear"
ior iruIt, the crop being lighter and the
price lower than for many years. Apples
form a large part OF the fruit crop. The
record OF apples shipped has been pretty
accurately obtained, and shows the shin
ments for the year to be 300 cars from
the county, az compared with 4SO cars
last year. Each car contains $50 boxes
ana the average price was 80 cents per
box This gives the total valae OF appIe
shipments as SS4, 900.
From the town OF ElbertOn. where the
largest fruit dryer in the world ia To-
Gated, there were shipped II cars of dried
pruneS. Each car contained II tons.
making 2O4 tons OF dried prunes, worth
cents per pound, or 500 Der ton. a
total OF S20,400 No record has heen
obtained OF the fruit shipped from Snake
river, but this is generally equal in vaIne
TO all OF the upland fruits, and consists
OF pears, peaches, plums, apricota. grapes
and other small fruits. Placing the
value OF all orher fruits shipped at the
same figure az the apples aud prunes
which ia considered by fruit men as a
conservative estimate, the grand total
oi the trult shipped from Whitman coun-
ty reaches the sum of 5000 900. This
Is about 90 per cent Of the value OF the
shipments OF 1901, when the yield was
greater and the price was higher,
An item OF no small Importance, the
value OF which Ia surprising to many, ia
ciassed as produce" and consists prin-
cipaIy OF poultry and dairy products.
Inc total OF these shipments ia con
seryatIyely estimated at SI50,O0O. One
1rm IN Coliax has shipped more than
S2O,OOO worth Of produce this year, and
there are three firms shipping from this
place. One firm in ROsalia shipped
nearly $4,000 worth Of produce since
January |, and there are heavy ship
ments from almost every other station
in the county.
The potato crop il not so good aa in
l9OI, nor Ia the price 80 high. Few DO
tatoes have been shipped, but the total
product Tor the county ia estimated at
10 carloads. The price is 80 cents per
100 pounds. A carload is 40 900 pounds.
AT present prices the potato crop OF the
county is worth S24, 800.
The hay crop is estimated at 1000
tons, valued at 50 per ton, or a total of
$50 900 for the hay crop raised for ex-
port. This is mostly timothy, much of
which goes to Seattle and Tacoma, and
to the mining districts.
The total value Of the products shipped
from Whitman county in 1902, exclusive
OF those used for home cOnaumption.
reaches the enormous sum of 1891
o90, or S166 45 for every man, woman
and child in the county. The following
