the slit in the door. With the letters was
a sample copy of religious magazine
which had never heard of before and
which, evidently, had been sent as an adj

magazine on the desk. 1t opened of its

ROMANS USED SHORTHAND.
Greeks Also Were Familiar with Prac-
tice of Stenography-Dates
from 100 B. G.

The existence OF stenography among
the Greeks and Romans is certain. The
letters of the alphabet, with modifica-
tons. connected so as to admit OF great
rapidity of execution, formed the ele-
ments of these characters. They date
ut least from the first century before
Christ. In the second century, A. d.
Is found the term semeiograph (steno-
graphic characters) in the Greek ora
tor. Flavius Philostratus. Origen of
of Alexandria (185-254 A. d. notes his
sermons down in shorthand, and Soc
rates, the ecclesiastical historian of the
fourth century, says that part of the
sermons of st. John Chrysostom was
preserved by the same process
In the first century, B. c., discourse
Of Cato Uticensis, according to Plu-
tarch, was taken down by shorthand
reporters. The development OF short

Trio, who was slave. was brought UP
with Cicero. who was some years his

The proverbial bull that invaded the
china shop could not have created more
excitement than a runaway COW that
ran into Philadelphia police station
the other night and caused panic
among dozen policemen who tried to
drive her out The animal became sep
arated from herd and for two hours
it galloped through the streets, spread
ing terror among pedestrians Fleet
footed policemen gave chase and tore
ador-like tried to take the angry bovine
by the horns Four bluecoats who had
the temerity to wrestle with the COW
were tossed aside with contemptuous
ease. The policemen of the station
heard the mad COW was coming their
way. They ran out to head it off. The
COW halted at the line of bluecoats,
turned its head and leaped through the
swinging doors OF the station house.
After a lively scramble inside the COW
got wedged fast in hallway, where the
drover got rope around Its neck and

HAS STRANGE MANIA.
KENTUCKY BOY WHO rs DETER
MINED TO KILL HIMSELF.
Although But Eight Years Of Age He
Has Made a Number Of Efforts
to shuffie or This Nor
tai Coil.
I.ouisvllls SKy.l Special.

A strange mania for self-destruc-
Tion possesses Arthur Garfield. an
eight-year-old Kentucky boy. Three
times he has stolen from his home d
Mayfeld, KY, and eHdeavored to kill
himself-an improvised rope being
twice employed and a leap into the
river resorted TO in the third in
stance-and yet he lives TO relate
the details. And, indeed, the youngster
has no objection to telling just how
at certain times an uncomfortable
wish to end his life takes pos
session of him and how at such times
the earth seems SO cloudy and distaste-
fnl to him that he runs in frenzy to
kill himself.
That he has failed on all three occa-
sions is due partly to his youth and con-
sequent inability to plan SO as TO in
sure success and partly to the watchful-
ness OF hih family. For three months
the members of his family watched in
turns to prevent his accomplishing his
purpose and, their efforts falling, they
have now employed a companions me-
gro man-who remains with the boy
at all times and forcibly controls him
when he loses his mental equilibrium.
Arthur Garfield sane and the same boy
in delirium, for such his attacks seem
to be, are quite different. When him
self, the little fellow tells in a very
lucid, connected way how he is seized
with the desire to kill himself and
actually grieves about the sin he has
committed. While in the grasp of the
respondent mood he pleads to be al
lowed to complete his effort at self
destruction, and means about the hard
ships he endures and of the happiness
that death would bring.
The New York World says that Ken
lucky doctors havetaken much interest
In the case and have concluded that
the youngster is constitutionally weak.
Over three months ago. having previ-
ously been subject to "blue spells" the
youngster was found hanging to a rope,
made from his shirt-sleeves. In a barn
on his fathers place. He was cut down
unhurt. From that time he was kept
under watch, though he promised never

he stole from the house and was missed
ten minutes later. He was found in

dangling from a rafter. He had tied
his handkerchief and halter together
and leaped from the top of stall. He
was fast strangling when rescued. and
for a time his condition was serious.
He recovered and again professed peni-
