Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-12-24

Senator Tillman made a powerful and conservative speech in the sen- ate last week, one which contained many pertinent questions hard for the republicans to answer. The fact is that Secretary Cortelyou, in his anxiety to help the bankers, has clearly violated the law and the re- publicans know it. They appreciate that they have no defense against the democratic arguments and they vince at the prospect of the debate which will come after Christmas. MT Till man will have more to say on this subject and so will many other able democrats.

The establishment of a government bank has been recommended for five suc- cessive years, but this year there is more cause than ever to consider it seriously. The plan is all ready to hand and congress can act on it if it will at the present session.

ELEPHANT VS., Crocodile.

An African hunter once found a
large crocodile hanging in the fork of
a tree about ten feet from the ground.
AS the place was fully half mile
from any water 1t was difficult to &C.
count for the crocodile's strange po-
sition. When questioned upon the
subject the natives explained that it
was put there by an elephant. 1t
seems that when the elephants wa1e
into the Lake Ngami to battle the
crocodiles are in the habit of worry
ing them and biting their legs. Some
times when an elephant is annoyed
beyond endurance it picks it's tor
mentor up and puts it among the
branches of tree and leaves it there

Diseases Of Memory.

Writing Of diseases of the memory,
q Russian doctor gives an interesting
account Of some Of the eccentricities of
his patients. In the case Of a literary
man some time previous to his seeking
advice he had been troubled with an
absolute failure Of memory. he could
remember exactly everything he had
done more than q year ago, but occur
rences Of later date he had entirely
forgotten; When attacked by the dis
ease he was engaged in writing a
novel, which he had half finished. He
remembered the first half, but could
not tell how he had intended to finish
1t. He was at last unable to remember
whether he had dined.
In another case the patient tells of
his travels, but repeats the tales a
dozen times an hour with the same
phrases. He would play a game Of
cards carefully and well. Five min
utes afterward he would mention that
he had not played for weeks. He
would say "Good morning." when the
doctor made his first visit Of the day,
but did not remember the visit three
minutes later If the doctor again
looked in. y.

Lawyers who followed the original

the stand and having her tell the story
that travelled around the world and
excited interest everywhere.
There are said to be excellent rea-

line of the defense for the coming

did not relish the position in which he
was placed in the summing up of Dis
