In countries with speculative commercial atmosphere The
influence OF such atmosphere Is sxcelenty shown In
the fact that paretc dementa s far frequent among
the negroes in Chicago than those In New York. and
practically unknown among the negroes In the South This
due to the fact that the negro IN Chicago treated
equal in and politics and Is thoroushy under the
influence Of the speculative atmosphere which pereates
the Of the city. The influence Is shown
in the undue proportion Of parec domentia among the
Irsh which Is much greater than In New York City And
this arises from the Irish in Chicago being much ad
dcted to speculation than those In New York To my
personal knowledge Irish women who In New York would
simply hoard their money and keep away from all pecua
ton, here deal in options wheat and pork.

start, grasped the safety signals and
allowed 1t to proceed, and then
'Oh, my God! the order'
I was wide awake then, and great
drops of perspiratlon rolled down my
face as watched the lights of the
swiftly receding train. The engineer
Of that train, Tom Watson, was one
Of my best friends, and to know that
he was rushing on to almost certain
death was terrible. His home was in
Bricksburg, and as the train passed
his house heard him sound his whis-
tie signal to his wife to let her know
that he was 'on time and all right.
''It is impossible for me to explain
the awful horror that / felt, know
ing that l was the cause Of what must
soon prove a terrible disaster. I could
only wait and watch, almost breath
less, hoping that the engineers might
see each others headlights In time to
stop their trains.
"a short distance from the station
there was a sharp curve in the track,
and as looked saw the headlight Of
train 6S dash into view; heard the
short, sharp whistles for brakes, and
the next instant came an awful crash.
"Hatless, coatless, | left my Office
and ran to the wreck, which was soon
all ablaze, and when reached the
spot I almost tainted at the horrible
sight that met my view. The engines
were both piled together in a heap,
bright tongues Of fame were darting
up toward the sky, while the screams
and groans of the unfortunate pas
sengers were awful to hear.

A SPRING SONG.

When Love comes to my garden
He walks with dainty tread,
The lilies blaze before him,
The moss-rose lifts its head;
The trim-kept lawns grow greener,
The borders blush with pride,
The buds burst into blossom
When Love walks by my side.
When Love leaves my sad garden
The roses petals fall,
The jasmine's scented clusters
Fade, dying, on the wall;
The lawns grow dock and thistle,
The paths are rank with weeds,
And all the dainty borders
Are strewn with fallen seeds.
Sweet Love, stay in my garden,
Rest in its rosy shades,
Bask in its scented sunshine,
Dream in its leafy glades;
Sing to the strings of pleasure,
Through all life's penilune;
Make every season summer,
Let every month be June.
