Sad Case of a Young Man Who Was
at the Normal.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

CTOul SdCuTudy > Dduy.
Mrs. Parker of Garden City had her
son, James c. Parker, young student
at the normal, examined for insanity
by local physician who pronounced the
man insane. He had been qnite melan-
choly and had acted strangely for some
time. The mother told the physician of
a theory preached by another physician
that the mental weakness of the young
man was produced by bone pressing on
the brain. The local physician, could
find no symptom of any such condition.
The insanity seemed to have been COM
ing on him for some time past but no
cause was apparent. The disease was
not thought by the mother to be run
ming in the family at all though she did
have brother who was insane. The ply
stefan advised her to take her son before
the probate court and have him commit
ted to the asylum but the mother was
not willing to do this. She and her son
left today for their home at Garden
City.

| We have often noticed as we sat in a
house, with how little fuss woman
can remove her jacket if occasion seems
to require it after she is seated. Now
| if man finds it necessary to take off
his overcoat in church for instance, he
has quite struggle to rise, then he
makes wide sweep with his right for
| the sleeve of the left arm and in the
| operation usually knocks off the hat
of the lady nearest him or punches a
man in the face. After good deal of
| fumbling he gets hold of the end of
the sleeve and begins to twist and tug
and when he does get it started it is
followed part way at least by his
under coat; then he has two jobs to at
tend to, one to get his under coat into
place and the other to continue his fran
tic efforts to get his top coat off, which
he finally succeeds in doing; he then
wads it up, Grams it into his seat and
sits down on it. There is not one man
in fifty that can take off an overcoat
with neatness and dispatch. 1t is right
the reverse with woman when she
sheds her jacket. We were very forcibly
reminded of this in church on Sunday
evening recently. The room was trife
warm and young lady sitting two seats
in front of us decided to take off her
! jacket, either because of the warmth, or
because she had on beautiful new shirt
waist. The act was accomplished with
three quick graceful movements and
the garment lay neatly folded in her
| lap.-Amboy Herald.
