Little Margaret is but baby girl
of four. Her father is a weli-to-do

A few days ago the three young
sters went ont nutting in the deep
woods a couple of miles away from

The other youngsters searched ev-

Then he went for help. Soon q

the man had to get down on all-fours

WOMAN is EATEN BY WOLVES.
Bones of Victim Discovered in tho
Frozen North After TWo-Yearo''
Search.

Ottawa, Ont.-An American woman
has been devoured by wolves With a
part OF the skull, rib. a piece of the
femur and bits of clothing by which
identification was made possible. Prof.
w. c. Hewitt of Oshkosh, Wis. an in
stitute conductor, has just returned
to Dawson with all that remains of his
sister, DR.. Emily Chambers, for whose
body he searched the frozen north for
two years.
The discovery of these few bones
and the personal knowledge. of the
fate that overlook Mrs. Chambers sets
at rest the mystery concerning her
disappearance. Mrs, Chambers Lody
was devoured by wolves.
Mrs. Chambers went to Dawson in
1900. She longed for adventure and
travel, SO she made a trip through a
little known section Of the Yukon with
the idea of gathering material .er a
book. The itinerary decided on was
one that would have appealed to L,snv
an old prospector and the wou,an's
friends did their best to dissuade her
from the journey.
On July "a, 1901, she left on the trim

Three years ago the mounted police

Hewitt, her brother. He was notified
OF her disappearance and at once

thus:

name implies, automatic So far-but
so far only-as conscious thought, l.
e., conscious mental action is con
cerned, the hand does the writing
without the help of the head. In other
words, 1t Is as though one had magic
pen--or pencil since a pencil is
smoother and easier to operate than a
pen--that started out to write so soon
as the operator took it into his or
her hand.
The operator has no more inkling
OF what the next word will be before
the said magic pen has written same

"All the operator has to do is to
hold the pen firmly in the fingers, dip

In other words, a citizen of the

PLAINTIFFS SANITY is IN QUESTION
Extraordinary Life Story of the Former Husband Of the Princess
Troubekoi Who Is Legally Sane in Virginia, Legally Insane
in New York, and Who Writes Startling Narrative Of
His Struggles for Liberty and Inheritance.

New York-Can a man be sane in
one state and insane in another?
SO it would seem But John Arm
strong Chanler, cousin of the Astors,
chum Of the late Stanford White, col
lege graduate, student Of psychics and
ex-husband Of that brilliant, erratic
woman, Ameie Rives, now the Prin-
cess Troubetskoi is not going to take
such a decision as final.
Next month his case comes up in the
federal courts here in New York. Mr.
Chanlcr who has a fortune Of s GOO, 600
wants to get control of it. Bat the
courts of New York say he is insane
and not competent His legal resi-
dence Is in the state of Virginia
And there the courts have decided
that he is perfectly sane and able to
manage his estate.
There are forty-hve states in the
Union Mr.. Chanler can visit forty
four of them without the slightest
danger TO his personal liberty. But
should he set foot in the sovereign
state of New York he will promptly
be clapped into mnatic asylum, be-
cause he Is still held to be mentally
incompetent.
1t will be a desperate legal battle.
Mr.. Chanler has retained the best of
counsel. So has the custodian of his

he Is insane. It is very much like

Is not insane just because he knows
something more than the mere every
day things of life. Because a man Is
possessed of a Xfaculty. Mr.. Chanler
contends, does not prove him mentally
