A NEEDLE IN HIS HEART.

A remarkable discovery was
made in the course of all autopsy
of the body of Dr.. jeffrey Owen
Parsons, a young Wimbledon doc
tor, who committed suicide while
Ill 3 state of temporary insanity.
DR.. Barton said at the inquest
shat q common needle was dis
covered three-quarters of an inch
above the apex of the left ventri-
Gle Of the heart, and fixed across
it with the point upward and to-
ward the right side.
1t had evidently entered low
down in the front of the heart,
near the apex, as the scar was
plainly visible in the ventricular
wall, but no mark could be found
IN the skin corresponding with
the point of entry.
The needle was SO black that it
must have been in the heart a lol g
time. He had been suffering
from heart disease for five years. .
Death was due to acute delirious
mania, consequent on chronic dis
ease, and accelerated by the inju.
ries DR.. Parsons had received by
throwing himself in front of q
train.

A STRIKING FACT.

A young man was riding III the
cab with a locomotive engineer.
Now" said the young man,
shuddering, suppose stage load
of children were to glide on to the
track from that lane-what a
blessing it would be if you could
stop short, instantly, like man
walking"
"Blessing!" said the engineer,
why, young fellow, if that stage
you speak of we're to appear now,
and I could stop short like a man
walking, [ wouldn't DC 1T. In
deed, I'd keep right on and kill
the kids
"Why?"
Because it would be the more
humane course. In one case there
would be a stage load Of kids
slaughtered in the other case
there would be the slaughter of a
train load of people. This train
is going at the rate Of forty-five
miles an hour, and the sudden
stoppage of a train going at that
rate would give the passengers
precisely the same shock that they
would get from fall of fifty-four
feet-a fall from a housetop."

John Green Brady has recently
resigned as Governor of Alaska.
In boyhood he was q waif on the
streets of New York, product of
the old Five Points of fifty years
ago. The Children's Aid Society
picked him up at the age of eight
and sent him west, where he found
home and friends among strang-
ers. Afterssyears Of work he got
through Yale and Union Theolog-
icai Seminary, and following an
unsuccessful attempt to found a
colony Of slum boys in Texas he
went as a missionary to Alaska

years ago. His tremendous ener-
gy 90 impressed President McKln-
ley that in 1897 he was appointed
Governor Of Alaska from which
position he has just retired.

"THINK THE TRUTH"

| Gail the essentials for a better
world are now at hand, the know
| ledge Is here-the time is ripe,
and there are thousands of souls
that are ready to lead the way. "
Cheerfulness is not only good
medicine, but it is food for the
mind and body. 1t is to the fac
ulties and talents of the mind
what sunshine is to the flowers
and trees.
When we learn to think the
truth we have come 90 the parting
of the ways. In thinking the
truth, wrong disappears, but in
thinking of the wrongs, truth has
no bounds. Wrong thoughts in
the mind produce wrong condi-
tions, and when man has not got
truth in HIM as a guide, he is al
ways producing wrong things.
When you see yourself as you are,
and review back, you will step
down out of wrong and evil doing
and take truth as your guide and
the future will be much better
than the past has been with you.
Get truth in you and keep it
there always and you will be in
possession Of peace, love, power,
wisdom, freedom and all the good
that 10 in God.
Some men have no more respect
for truth than they have for the
earth on which they trod. Poor
beingsl When they pass to the
great beyond and meet the Judge
who shall judge them according
to. their acts and sayings here on
earth, their conditions will be aw-
ful.
If you are the right kind of a
man, you will have in you truth
You will speak the truth, think
the truth and do the truth. To
think the truth at first may seem
wrong, because we are so used to
Judging from appearances, but
when we find that appearances are
but the result of thought-that
right thought produces good APP
pearance, and that wrong thought
produces badappearance, and learn
that a real being is the image of
God, we shall no longer see con-
tradiction III the truth"
We should live on the good side,
the true side, and the bright side
of all things, never crossing over
to the wrong side for anything.
When we trayel in the road of
truth we are away from fault, and
our minds are not contaminated
with evil and corruption.
Live in the truth. That is one of
the brightest and most perfect
state you can live in.
A man never gains anything by
being untruthful. Best to always
live the truth and die the truth.

A Kansas police Judge has hit
upon a new plan for dealing with
persons who are brought before
him on the charge of being drunk.
He sentences them to stay in bed
for one week, the alternative be-
ing two weeks in jail. If the per-
son 80 sentenced "breaks bed"--
that is, gets up and puts on his
clothes before the expiration OF
the time of the sentence, such
person is held in contempt of
court and must SO to jail for fif-
teen days The justice says that
the best remedy he has ever known
for drinking is the bed. So long
as man can be kept in bed he
doesn't care much for a drink,
and when be has remained III bed
q week he is pretty apt to be sober
and remorseful, and willing to try
to do the right thing.

Mr.. Wise "a id that counsel for Raymond

| OF the firm would be confronted with Grim
inal'charges az a result of the present action.
There will, he said, be no compromising.
The matter will be fought out in court. and
that. too, as speedily as possible.
RAYMOND i Co. will, it was learned,
begin a slit against the Mutual Life in a
few lays to recover moneys which, the
firm contends, are due it under the terms of
its contract with the company which eK-
pired on December 80 last. The Mutual
Life discontinued payments to Raymond
4 Co. on November II, after the disclosures
before the Armstrong committee, but the
firm at that time notified the compan
that it intended to perform its end Of the
contract and hold the company liable. 1t
will be the contention of the company that
the contract was not properly authorized.
The announcement Of the fact that the
Mutual Life charged the eX-president with
having entered into a fraudulent conspiracy
left no doubt in the minds of Mr.. McCurdy's
friends that there will follow a series of
disclosures in the Mutual Life which will
la. everything bare.

exnected that in the controversy many

LONDON, March 20.-Mr. Haldeman. Brit
ish manager of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York, has resigned, owing
to developments in New York, especially
the designations of officers of the company,
which caused him to lose confidence in the
management. Before taking the step he
consulted with many prominent English
public men. a number of whom carry large
policies in the company.
Mr.. Haldeman founded the British branch
nineteen years ago. He has since main
tanned the friendliest relations with the
British insurance companies. He secured
for the Mutual the biggest business of any
American company in the United Kingdom.
The policyholders number 28,0O0, and the
c%ompany's income exceeds So, 100, 900.
Mr.. Haldeman has done everything posi-
BILE to prevent the British policyholders
from acting precipitately, lest they injure
their interests. He offers to continue his
services in their behalf il they wish him to
do so.
He has protested against the extra va giant
mana cement Of the company Compar red
with the Iondon branch, in which the ex-
