AMAZING CASE OF APHAsIA
Experience of shrewd Business Man
Deprived of speech for seven


Discussing aphasia at the Academy Of
Medicine, New York. DR.. William H.
Thompson told a story OF mental acumen
following loss OF speech which greatly IN
terested his hearers and which was ac-
knowledged TO be one OF the most re-
markable cases OF It's kind on record.
"A man well known In business" said
DR. Thompson, came to my ofice on day
accompanied by his son and lawyeE and
asked that examine him mentally to de-
termine whether he was competent TO make
a will, l was informed that seven years
before he lost his speech and since then
had been unable 10 utter a word. He was
literally word blind, He could not tell when
printing was upside down He explained
that he had considerable property he
wished 10 dispose OF and that he expected
hts win would be contested and he wanted
a statement from me.
II examined him thoroughly, found he
was mentally acute and IN every way re.
sponsible. In fact. my inquiry developed
the regarkable fact that while he was word
blind he had developed a remarkable arith-
metieal knowledge. He was an adept In
every sense. Figures fairly spoke to him
Since the time he was stricken he had con.
Quoted q big business and had done Il In
such an astute way that he had accumu.
lated a fortune. He had complete mute
aphasia, but was indeed a sharp business
man. l was convinced that his menta

wyoming Dry land Yields Well.

The full results of grain and vege-
table planting under the Riverton ca
nal are now apparent and are of a
most satisfactory character, says the
Cheyenne Tribune.
Despite the combined disadvantages
inevitable under the circumstances of
late planting and late irrigation,
grains and vegetables have alike
produced largely, with the natural
and logical deduction that hereafter
under improved irrigation and gen.
eral farming conditions the harvests
of this region will be from "a to 40
per cent in excess of those of the
present season.
Spring wheat has produced this
year an average of As bushels per
acre, with weight of 81 pounds per
bushel, or four pounds above the
commercial standard weight. Oats
have yielded from 80 to 70 bushels
per acre, with a weight per bushel of
4S pounds; while potatoes will run
from 100 to 200 bushels per acre,
with individual tubers weighing as
high as three pounds.
With 763 acres of oats under moro
or less unavoidable imperfect culti-
vation the Indian" farm of the
Wyoming Central Irrigation company
will thresh this season 10000 BUSH
els of oats, all of which are already
under contract sale at $1.75 per hun
dred. The oat crop under the River
ton canal is estimated at cash value
nf $4,000.

FOX GRAPES OF oLDEN TIMES.
They Grow IN Oregon the Same as in
Old Missouri.
The Baker City Herald says:

The Baker City Herald says:
In the yard at Mrs. Joseph Eus-
tace's residence there is growing a
grape vine that bears the fruit known
as Fox" grapes. Yesterday a re-
porter for the Herald Investigated the
vine and found 1t the same species
as those grown in Missouri. The
flavor of the grape is similar. the
cluster is identical, and the way the
vine crawled around a tree took one
back to the Ozark hills. in the south
western part Of Missouri where the
girls go barefooted and chew tobac-
co, where the swine of the country
possess the razor back and long nose,
where frequently some Of the men
still vote for Jeff Davis at a state
election.
When those primitive conditions
existed in Missouri the Fox grape was
still there. 1t is still there. No ma
tive of Missouri can afford to disown
the grape any more than he can af-
ford to dsown the fact that the old
state was scene of considerable
hardship during the civil war. Mis-
souri, has some marks which many
states have not. Among them is the
Fox grape-sour as can be, yet al
ways pleasant, healthfH and refresh
ing.

To Help Destroy wild Animals.

Substantial evidence that the gov
ernment is determined to put forth
every effort to bring the national for
est lands to the highest point of de-
velopment is given in the activities of

annually thousands of dollars worth
of stock running on the ranges OF

edege of conditions and training in

BY THE MYSTERIOUS MIR.
RAFFLES,

One of the very best events in the
Raffles handicap was pulled off yes
terday and the hardest part of it
all was my efforts to keep from smii-
ing when | held some serious con-
versation with a certain well known
physician, with an Office in High
street.
/ had been informed that Dir. r.
was from Saint Joe" (Missouri) and
a little bit skeptical regarding this
MYSTERIOUS MIR. RAFFLES FROM
SEXTON'S DRUG STORE, so | be-
came rather anxious to come in per-
sonal contact with the doctor and
give him every opportunity to look
me over good at the risk of dropping
$50.
You will recall that | promised in
Yesterdays O'Clock edition of the
NEWS to attempt something risky.
The first card OF the two important
events was dealt to this certain ply
sician the second card to well
known detective, and | steamed away
from both places with colors flying,
but there was some busy telephoning
from both places and a bunch of
thinking.
| was dared to make the visit to the
detectives residence and the parcel
! left for him was simply a souve-
mir of my trip-nothing else. If he
appreciates a good joke, no effense
will be taken from this visit.
If you are sure you know the two
parties concerned in this story, you
will smile, and smile and more, but
if you don't, you will hardly appre-
