ACCIDENTS
RESULTS In
INSANITY
Two Similar Cases Sent from
Corvallis
One Bitten by Dog the Other
Hurt by a Fall

Two patients reached the insane
asylum Tuesday night, both coming
from Albany, and. strangely enough,
both cases resulted from accidents in
early youth. One. Joshua Peters. now
about 40 years old. was. up to the age
Of nine. an exceptionally bright boy.
Al that time he was badly bitten by
a savage dog. his arm being badly
lacerated. Following this his mind
seemed TO cease from development
and he eventually became stupid. and
now his malady manlfests itself In
nervous twitchings and movement OF
his arms and hands. which cannot be
kept still. At times he becomes VIC
lent, and his incarceration became q
necessity.
The other case is that Of Byron
Brush, aged "a. He was OF naturally
bright mind. until when six or seven
years Of age he fell from hack. strik
ing the back OF his head against a
stump This caused some derange.
ment of the brain. which has become
steadily more serious. until he is AT
times utterly irrational. To the judge
examining him he said:
MY mind Is wrong: ! know H. I'm
afraid I'll do harm 20 others or my
self have been thinking about sui
eide. but / haven't made up my mind
yet Il is better for me to go to the
asylum"

SLAP AT RAILROADS.
President James Declares They Are
Very Badly Managed.
Head of Northwestern University In
Address at Boston Says officials
In Charge Are Incon-
Detent.

"Three-fourths of the men in
charge of the railroads of the coun-
try do not understand. their business
and have managed their roads SO
badly that bankruptcy is always
staring them in the face, and more
business awaiting them than they
can handle" said President Edmund
flames, of Northwestern university,
the other day in an address at the
Colonial theater at Boston, where he
appeared as lecturer in the Twentieth
Century club course. His subject was
the need OF commercial education.
"a freight car" continued DIR.
James, starting out from Pittsburg
to Chicago is like a sailing vessel of
half century ago setting out from
New York to London. Nobody knows
when she will arrive or where she Is
on her journey. 1t may take her
week or it may take her month.
eve hear of the vast combina-
tions of capital. Men talk of trusts
and of the accumulation Of all in
dustries in the hands of a few men.
We hear of Morgan and Rockefeller
as the great financicrs of the world.
How are these men enabled to do
these things. Not because they are
such very big men, or because the
average business man is such a small
fellow. The average business man is
ignorant and inefficient and coward
ly. He is uneducated and unlearned
in his own business. He is helpless
at crisis. And it Is because of his
lack of qualities which are impaired
to the technically tt llaed man in his
own profession that |. goes down in
q crisis"
President James boldly advocated
the teaching OF business by the uni
versities, not merely course In the
business college Of to-day, but
training which shall produce great
leaders in business, as the technical
schools develop great leaders in sci
entific professions.

ture which he proposes to erect in his
native city. He has visited all the prin-

the guest Of Carmen sylvia" the
queen Of Roumania, who took keen in

1t Is said that young Carleton got a

novelists, every volume being an au-

notability of the literary world.

THE pLAYING-CARD SUPPLY.
1t Amounts to Ten Cards q Year fos
Each Inhabitant in the
Country.

One Of the internal revenue taxes
provided by congress to meet the ex'
pense of the Spanish war was tax
of two cents on each pack OF cards
manufactured in the United States.
The usual pack contains SO cards, or,
with joker, So, but for the sake
of uniformity the number was fixed
by congress at "a, says the New York
Sur.
The government revenues from the
war tax on playing cards amounted
to about $1,000 for each working day,
and assuming that all the packs were
full decks the average number manu-
featured In each year was 10000
packs, or $50, OOO, 600 cards. The popu.
lation of the United States is, approx
imately. 10000, 900, and there were ten
cards manufactured each year for
each man, woman and child in the
United States.

from playing cards. Ohio contributed
$4,000, New York following with
100000 and Michigan and Illinois
with $4,000 each. These four states
have practical monopoly OF playing
card making in the United States.

SOCIAL LEADERS AT ZOO.
Mother BabOon and Her baby Form
tho Star Attraction at New
York Animal House.

The animals in the 700 park In the
Bronx which are most like folks just
now are the long armed mother ba-
boon and baby. The mother and
child hold the center Of the stage in
primitive house and attract even a
larger crowd to their cage than the
untamny bats That eat, sleep and
fight with their heads hanging down
and their claws gripped to the wire
overhead. A monkey Is never more
human than when 1t has an I'M
weaned baby.
The long armed mother is proud of
the child, for she sits as close as she
can get to the front of the cage so
that all visitors and the jealous
childless race of suicide monkeys
across the way can see her baby.
The infant has an excellent appetite
and after each nursing goes to sleep
on its mothers shoulder. The moth
er baboon's kisses are as humanlike
as anything in the show and the
baby hears all the "ootsey wootsey"
women in front of the cage.
The mother has not lost interest
in the social doings and the quarrels
Of the primitive house as result OF
her other cares.
There was fight the other day
between two noisy balloons in the
next cage. Heads were out in tene-
ment house fashion all along the line
OF cages. The long armed baboon
was sitting with her back to her
quarrelsome neighbors when the row
began, and the baby had just gone TO
sleep. She unwound the little fellow
with her left arm, gripped the bar
in front OF her with her right hand,
and then stood up slowly and care
fully faced about the other way and
sat down again where she could see
the fight. The baby did not even
stir.

Tho Only Inducement That Sold q
Picture for q Hard-Up
Man

The man who undertook TO cross the
continent "on the hurricane-deck of
donkey" and earn his expenses as he
went, was sure to have experiences
worth something to himself, II not to
anyone else. He had photographs
made of himself and the donkey. These
he sold for rs cents each. At Yonkers
his purse wGs light, and his bills were
heavy, relates Youths Companion.
II resolved to rise at dawn and sell
enough pictures to pay my bills, II l
had to sell them at cost. I set to work.
By one o'clock had visited every shop,
store and Chinese laundry, and was
talking hoarsely to a corner grocer,
who sat on a keg of mackerel sampling
Limburger cheese. l offered picture
for Is cents, but the reduction in price
did not interest him.

he declared.

Ills reply was weak, but the cheese
Was strong enough o help him out. My
