II we would all think and feel. speak
and act as kindly and lovingly In every
day life as we do at funerals what a

we could only appreciate each other as
fully in life as in death how much the
aggregate of human misery would be
diminished, and the sum of human
happiness increased. But, alas. how
much kindness comes too late in fun
eral eulogies and cemetary scenes.
This post morton kindness Is a poor
compensation for former neglects. After
the eye IL closed, the ear cold and the
heart still In death, how vain are all
kind acts.
But. oh, II these flowers, kisses and
Kindness could have been strewn along
the pathway OF life instead Of along the
way of death, how bright and joyful
might that pathway have been! When
the husband places a flower in the still
hand Of his dead wife let it not be
said that that is the first flower he ever
gave her.
Post morton flowers and tears are
tributes that afford but slight conso-

that he made mistakes. He writes in

Rider hasoard's New Story-"Ths
6rothronb

The press has been full recently Of
the peculiar psychological experience OF
Rider Haggard. the author of she"
Allan Quartermain," etc. The story is
that Mr.. Haggard had an intense and
vivid dream In which he saw his fav-
orite dog Bob killed by railroad
train. A few days after the novelist
discovered that the dog had died under
conditions practically the same as
those he witnessed in his dream. The
incident seems almost to establish the
fact of telepathic communication be-
tween an animal and a man.
Another peculiar fact in connection
with tlsis. story Is that Mr.. Haggards
last book. The Brethren" Is founded
upon "A mysterious revelation. which
comes to one of the leading characters
In dream. The Brethren" will be
published In America this fall by Nc
Clure- Phillips.

Memoirs Of Henry Willard

These memoirs, which are published
In two volumes, comprise seven books.
the first being devoted to Mr.. Wizards
early experience in America, Ave to
the civil war and the last to his finan-
cisl career. Portions OF them were writ
ten more than twenty years ago. but
the larger part was put into manu-
script between the years 1895 and 1900.

while in his own autobiography It is
natural that one should expect to see
the better side OF the man presented,
there IL no doubt that his success was

Mr.. Willard, whose baptismal name
was Ferdinand Heinrich Gustav Hill

the scheme Of colonixing Germans IN

the plan had been outlined. All this
time he had been doing some literary
work for German papers. and finally
became the editor of a small German

aid and other papers. He had hardly
returned from an investigation of the
Pixies Peak boom when war broke out
and ne was sent to Washington. With
the opening Of hostilities he went to
the front and saw such important en-
gagements as Bull Run, Shiloh. Fred
ericksburg, Chattanooga, and Chicka-
manga. Five OF the books are taken
up with his war experiences While
there Is little or nothing new In them
so far as military information is con-
cerned, his pictures and estimates of
the men of the time are interesting.
MIR. Willard naturally was not given to
praise and usually his judgments are
severe. He was not impressed with
Grant. and while later he came to re-
gard him as a fighting strategist of the
FIRST order. he never thought he was
strong either as disciplinarian or orr
ganizer.
III health IN 1863 compelled Mr.. VIII
lard to give up newspaper work in the
field and after the organization OF
news agency he returned to Europe.
Coming back. he married the only
daughter Of William Lloyd Garrison
and in 1858 was elected secretary Of
the American Social Science associa-
ton with an ONCE In Boston. His
work in this position led him to enter
upon an investigation Of public and
corporate financiering. including that
Of railroads and banks, and while on a
visit to Europe he took up with Ger
man financial Institution the project OF
establishing mortgage. bank In the
United States with German capital.
This was the first step in the brilliant
but somewhat ineteoric career which
followed and which brought Mr.. Willard
, into such close relationship with the

have followed or have heard Of the
railroad and steamship development in
this section Of the country since thirty
years ago. Mr.. Willard first came to

Of the German bondholders Of the Old

J next nine years he was one OF the most

DOES HYPNOTISN

AT meeting Of the Society of Hyp-
IodOgy and Psychology in Paris the 9th

from Dr. Korovine. OF the Moscow Asv-
lum for Inebriates. where experiments
Tor the cure OF drunkenness by hypnotic
suggestion have been carried out, upon d
considerable scale. for three years DR.
horovine claims p Ter cent Of radical
cures out Of some 800 patients
He says that out Of 323 patients hypo-
tized S4.4 per cent did not drink any al
cohol for a week, Coz per cent abstaIned
for two weeks, 33S per cent for three
weeks. III per cent for more than a
month. but only 81 per cent for the
whole time Of the treatment-that Is 10
sa-. for six months. He thinks that in
moreseriOus cases hypnotic suggestion TO
be effective must be associated with in
door treatment under restraint
Commenting on these facts, Dr. Berll-
lon. Of Paris. explained that when
drunlards ask 10 be hypuOtized they are
generally very amenable TO the influence
Of suggestion. but often they sudden

In the broad view Of the present stu
alton, with its anomalous conditions in
wheat and its doubts in the steel trade.
there stands out in the clearness Of eX-
cepttonal contrast the position OF the
South and Southwest. With the profits
Of one rich cotton crop already garnered
and the little questioned promise Of still
another, at least equally profitable in
process OF fulnlment, IL Is not strange
that the bankers Of the South should
finance almost wholly the moving Of
the crops, as they did last week. and
