Suspect Spotted.
A man closely resembling Caugh-
rams assailant called at the police
station yesterday afternoon on pre-
text of having some business with
Chief Mallory. He had one of his
hands wrapped in a piece of white
cloth and carried his arm in a sling
He was quite thick set. of medium
height and wore hat similar to the
one found near the. scene of the hold

1t is thought he went to the sta

attention of the police so that he
would not be run in as a suspect
should he succeed in holding some
one up during the night.
The assailant is now supposed to
be somewhere in the city in hiding,
where he will likely remain until the

CHILDREN ARE SANE.

But GrOwnup People, Most of Them,
Are More or Less Insane.
There is one disadvantage which is
involved in the very nature of educa-
tion-that is, that we have to assume
that grownup people are representa-
tive. We have even to go the length
of assuming that grownup people are
sane. When we talk about encouraging
health In children and discouraging
morbidity, when we talk of such and
such child being abnormal or inter-
esting or neurotic or a genius, we are
all the time taking for granted that we
ourselves have attained to what is
profitable and eternal in human nature.
But there is at least something that
may reasonably be said upon the other
side. 1t may at least very plausibly
be maintained that it is children who
are, age after age, sane and reliable
and grownup people who are, age aft
er age, more or less fantastic and dis
concerning. The great majority of
grownup people in any age will be in
all probability slightly insane; for since
no human philosophy is perfect, and
since every human philosophy natural
ly treats itself as if it were perfect, the
chances are in every generation that
the majority of educated people will be
ecstatically certain of something that
is quite untrue. Children, on the other
hand. it might be maintained, repre-
sent the actual primary and untouched
human nature. Whatever agrees with
that is sane; whatever disagrees with
it is eccentric. Children are always
children, or, to limit the matter with
more precision, babies, at any rate, are
always babies. But few will be so
paradoxical as to maintain that men
are always men or women always wo
men.-Black and White.

OLD ACE.

Vital Force.
A GREAT DISCOVERY TO WARD
OFF OLD AGE.

In Americas lately there has been q
good deal of discussion in regard to old
people. Some at 80 years call them
selves old, and really appear so; while
others at 20 years seem active, vigorous
and young.

happened in Dodson's Pharmacy the
other evening, and this subject was
brought up. SAID Mr.. Dodson: SIT
