VICTIM OF THE GOAT.
Coax Becomes DeIirious With Trem-
ens--Lodses Bothered Him.

The Spencer correspondent of the
Edmond Enterprise relates a strange
story of a strange man.
There was a little excitement sun
day morning in the neighborhood OF
the saw mill vest OF Spencer. War
rem Ozmun who manages the saw mill
crew, went to the city some few weeks
since and hired a man to cook for the
hands The new cook, named Kim
ball, has been on a prolonged spree
OF a month OF better. but last week
he was unable to procure any Booze"
and he finally by Saturday night had
gotten delirious. He was in such bad
shape that night that they had been
Watching him. Along about daylight
Sunday morning they all went to
sleep for few minutes and when
they awoke the man was gone AT
though he had on nothing but his
socks and undctclothing / search fail
ed 10 reveal bis Whereabouts. Ahoat
seven o'clock Frank Sutton, who lives
some little distance from the camp
and on the opposite side OF the river
was called to the door where he found
a man in his underclothing dripping
wet and so chilled that he could
hardly talk Mr. Sutton wrapped him
In blankets and built up a hot fire
The man said he would tell what was
wrong as soon as he got warm. But
when he finally began to warm up Mr.,
Sutton discovered from his talk that
he was crazy. He said that he had
started 10 cross the river in a boat,
but could not manage fl. and that two
, small boys playing N the water
which he says was only knee deep
ioshed hiN and told him if he coald
, not row a boat to get out and walk
across. He says he tried to do so but
! the water was deep and he had "a
r swim. He also told how he had seer
I hundreds of Quails. and had caught
S three prairie chickens He told al
, kinds OF strange stories about how h'
D had been initiated into the severa

writer Ia the Pennsylvania Public
Ledger strikes a telling note when he
says: The inclination TO be sport
is one of the sources that is making
criminals OF the boys In this city"
Among the wretched delusions "
the present time. the idea that TO be
manly Is to bo a sport Is one OF The
most vicious and ridiculous The word
sport we dse in the commonly nc.
cepted sense of the young fellow who
values clothes more than brains and
considers moral character weakness.
In other words he IS being who
would sell all that he has for seat
among the scornful and bends all his
energies to the task Of being deyilish
Such Is the theory under which the
socalled sport operates. What ire
quently makes the spectacle moie pit
liable is the fact that the deluded wor
shipper of this fetch is often goo'
fellow at heart snd tries TO- apBea
more wicked than he really is. Tn
typical sport always tries TO exagger

EDMOND nus ANU TLNf > bOLIo
Those who have enjoyed "Cyrano
De Bergerac" and the osher works of
Edmund Rostand. the noted French
playwright. win be interested to know
that he has at his home in Cambo an
assortment Of dolls which he carved
out Of wood and oostumed wish the
greatest care. He is having construct
ed a miniature stage. and will soon
give q theatrical performance with
these marionettes for the benefit Of
a few fortunate friends.
That so clever and renowned a
mar should indulge in playing dolls,
dressing them up and making them
dance about on a little stage, seems
rather odd at first thought History
reminds us. however. that great gem
fuses, especially literary men, have
been given to frivolous and childish
.amusements. Benjamin Franklin flew
kites IA his old age. To be sure he
urged as an excuse the investigation
.of electrical matters. But they ali
have some scientific pretext NJ. Ros
tand no doubt grapples with grave
theatrical problems while manipulate
ing his dolls We should like to see
some of these marionettes. We wond
er if there are any long noses among
them It is probable that since the
Chicago claimant for "Cyrano De
.Bergerac" has put Monsieur Rostand's
nose out of Joint. figuratively speaking
the matter of noses has become q
rather sensitive subject with the
great playwright
Sober. everyday folks may learn a
lesson from the recreations Of such q
man as NJ. Rostand. We venture tha
if every business man had either /;
box of building blocks or trunk ful
of dolls or, at least. an assortment o
tin soldiers to amuse himself with. in
stead OF figuring on his income anC
expenses of an evening. or reading tn,
market reports from the papers, ther,
would be fewer cases. OF nervous
breakdown and fewer epitaphs Will

Outdoor exercise is indeed necessary
but the mind needs recreation as wei
as the body, and even this is tru
when the body is too tired for out
door sports. Some light manual EN-
ployment at home of a kind totall
different from the days work woul
go far toward solving the problem
OF mental relaxation in this age O
