Prominent New York Phystctan.

What do | think OF kleptomanla: z"
asked William pinkcrton Of New
York reporter in reply to a question.
well. let me tell you kleptomania
story. This story fits, hold. about
nine cases out NJ ten.
"A New York specialist got. on a
certain morning. the card OF one OF
the richest OF our western million
aires. lie went down instantly and
found well-dressed man. who said:
81 am here. sir. on II delicate and
painful matter. My wife is a victim
OF kleptomania. and. knowing your
skill in mental diseases. have brought
her on for treatment un,."r you
bring the lady to see me to-mor-
row morning said the physician.
1T will he best. perhaps. not to
bring her To your office faltered the
millionaire. The sight OF other pa
tents might excite her. | suggest
"'Ill receive her in my drawing
room. Will that he better" asked the
physician.
j.,
in a relieved tone
And the next day the western mil
lonaire led into the physicians draw
ing room n young woman Of singular
beauty. She was magnihcently
dressed. but her eyes were furtivs and
restless, and when she thought no one
was looking at her she secreted under
her coat three or four valuable orna-
mcnts. The physician and the wes-
crucr smiled slightly at one another.
The physician. after his examina-
ton Of tho patient. told the husband
to return the next day alone
"'And when | come the husband
answered. I'm bring back these things
that she has taken
"'Do, said the physician.
81 will said the wcSterner
but he didn't He won't. He and
his wife are thieves. and they have
worked their kleptomania dodge in
nearly every city in America"
Freedom DC speech.
You are Il liar" shouted an angry
citizen.
Sir. hut for my knowledge OF your
constitutional rights" said the one adj
dressed. II would resent your re-
mark"
TO such as were inclined to think
him cowardly he explained that free

LETTER FROM ROSWELL.
Minnie c. Dunn Writes to Her Old
Home Paper In Kentucky.
Roswell, N. NJ, May IS. 1906.

Nicholasville, Ky.
l was pleased to receive a few
days ago an invitation to the Jessa-
mine county Homecoming" Certain
ly my heart turns to my old Kentucky
nome with especial ~longings just
now, when so many children of the
grand old commonwealth scattered
far and wide, are turning their faces
homeward.
Summer has come, and to para
phrase the poet: "Oh to be in Ken
lucky, now that summers there 1
seem to catch the fragrance of the
roses and locust blossoms of my
childhood nome, and a Whit of the
sweet briar down the pike. The blue
birds and oriole are there, and 1 am
SUR the hooking bird is singing just
as he used to doom the topmost
bough of the tallest locust tree of all.
Like Browning's thrush, he
Sings each song twice over,
Lest you should think he never could
recapture
The first careless rapture"
At nightfall the weird, plaintive
notes of the whippoorwill are heard
rising above, yet merging into the
subdued rush of distant waters. How
aften, on the old homestead, when
weary and troubled, these restful
sounds have soothed my weary spir-
it into sweet repose. There is moth
ing in all this new country quite so
primitive as those wildly beautiful
regions in the very heart of our be-
this lovely valley that seems quite
SO close to natures heart. For what
art, n industry, and eternal vigi-
lance accomplish here, nature in
wild abandon lavishes there with
luxuriant hand. Kentucky What i'm
ages the word calls before the mind;
what visions of beloved faces, and
of open-handed, free-hearted hospital
ity, and feasts of good things; what
memories of treasured friendships
and bonds of love that time and dis
lance can never sunder. Surely, "The
Sun Shines Bright in My Old Ken
lucky Home"
Yet it shines bright, too. in the
land of my adoption. Glorious indeed
are the summer skies that bend
above the bluegrass and of Ken
lucky. But rivalling them in glory
are the azure skies tina stretch away
beyond the green fields of Pecos Val
ley alfalfa. True were the hearts
thai we left in the home land, but
true hearts awaited us here and gave
us welcome to make our home in
their midst. And time and trouble
has tested and proven tneir love for
the stranger within the gates"
There is a charm about his new
country like the charm of youth, an
inspiration of new endeavors, a joy
like that of conquest. Surely there
is glory in the thought of an empire
won from the desert. An empire new
and clean and peaceful, founded upon
the uneartned bounties of nature, and
purchased by the sweat of toll, and
not by the blood of rna The
development of the country in this
immediate, locality has been very no
ticeable in the past three years. Els

and southeast of Roswell. The land

according to the rites Of the Roman Catholic
Church, but, for the most part, nuptials are
according to the Indian custom.
Burning the dead, as observed among the
Iutnas, is interesting. The body is first
thoroughly wrapped and then placed on
logs and brush over a hole in the ground
A bed OF logs is built up at each side and at
the head of the bier, which is next covered
and surrounded with dry fagots.
The flames are applied n while they
burn the clothing, blankets, DC, Of the
deceased are added TO the fire. The horse
OF the dead man, however, is not burned
among the Yumas as is the custom with
some Indians.
A day or two after death the wigwam
OF the deceased, IL an adult, is burned, the
rest or the family then going to live with
some relative. Tit Yumas make a great
show OF sorrow over their dead. Later
they are never mentioned at all.
The medicine men are still larQly in CON-
troll among the Yumas and the Govern
ment makes no attempt TO interfere. Usu-
any their patients grow sicker, 30 that they
proclaim them doomed to die and their
prophecy will almost always come true.
The Government allows its eight hundred
Yumas 4 500 acres of landau irregular tract
extending fourteen miles up the river and
ten down. OF this 1 800 acres will be irrig-
able when the Laguna dam is done.
Inasmuch as the Indians may settle
where they choose on the lands. it is prob
able that the widely scattered houses will
then be drawn closer together. As il il
now, Yuma itself is really the only village
among them.

clothing, but the Yumas receive only the

HOW THE YEMAS LIVE.
Their Homes and Games-The Cremation
OF the Dead.

The westbound train arrives at Yuma
early in the morning. Everywhere are
Indians In gay garments, and with blankets
around them despite the heat.
Some of the men wear straw hats and
leans; the women nave their heads covered
bv black shawls which fall over their Shout
ders. All OF them have blankets. All Of
them braid their back hair, so that from
behind one cannot distinguish sex.
Crossing the great iron bridge over the
| Colorado, SAYS a writer in the Southern
Workman, you are on the Yuma Reservation.
The stages leave here for Laguns, where the
Government is building the largest dam in
the world, except that Of the Nile.
The horse corrals near the stage station
interest the stranger. They are mere stalls
OF poles, for in Yuma they need provide
neither for rain nor for cold.
There are signs everywhere warning
people against being on the reservation
without a permit, and also against trading
with the Indians. No sign il seen, how
ever, prohibiting photography, and so we
level the kodak at a woman. In an instant
she has hidden her face under her blanket
and has scurried away.
A little further away on the reservation;
where the arrow weed and the pigweed
rise to the height OF pampas grass and
hide vast ooveys OF quail, are scattered
the adobe huts of the Indians. Here, there
anywhere they choose, they build their
shacks, some of them miles from the nearest
neighbor and hidden from sight in the
arrow weed bushes.
The hutsyare square, and In front the roof
overhangs-a mass OF dried brush fastened
to two poles at either corner. At the sides
omen the cagelike corrals for the horses,
mere poles set fence fashion. Dogs are
everywhere, as numerous as In Turkey,
and they and the men and the women stink
bv absolutely noiseless. Even the in
Vulnerable children are quiet.
There is a small church on the reserva-
ton, and at its side, in a frame, an iron bell
that the Catholic priest is ringing. 1t takes
one back to the days OF the missions.
In contrast, across the railway on the
bluffs, is the modern Indian school. The
iaunt to it is always interesting to the Wis
itor. Across the bridge you go in company
with sad faced indian squaws. very dark,
and the darker for their gay colored gar
ments of many hued borders. On their
heads the long black hair lies uncombed,
and they sometimes wear bags bound on
the forehead and hanging down the back;
these serve az a kind of ornamental top
comb, and in them the supplies are carried
from town to reservation.
Among the Yumas there is held a corn
feast every September, when all the tribe
gathers for a three days meeting. Then
there are games and dancing and singing
and a feast OF corn and watermelon and
anything else that can be purchased. The
principal game OF the adults on the reserva-
ton here is hoop the pole, the moor being
rolled on the fiat desert and the pole then
thrown through il.

rolls from them. Shiny "a another ~favorite
