TM0RE'S PAST
Is DEALT with
SHOWN THAT DEMOCRATIC LEAD
Err FOUGHT TRUST AND
THEN SOLD OUT.

Chicago, Oct 6.-Col Moses Wet
more, chairman Of the Democratic ma
tional finance committee, became the
target for some artistic language
loosened in typewriter form from
Republican national headquarters in
the Harvester building yesterday aft
ernoon.
Col Wetmore was admitted by the
Republicans to be one of the greatest
foes ever encountered by predatory
wealth combined in the shape Of Il
tr"st The colonel, according to his
Republican biographers, waged long
and bitter war against the tobacco
trust.
Gum Shoe Bill Stone of Missouri
aided him. Mr.. Stone made speeches
urging tobacco eating Democrats to
eat Mr.. Wetmore's tobacco and Mr..
Wetmore furnished the eating MIR.
Stone in impassioned oratory told his

How He Helps at Housekeeping and

ments, and the site for nest is Sc.
lected. and the nest built usually be-
fore the middle of April
1t is no unusual occurrence to find
eggs in the nest even as early as the
first of the month, and with the ma.
jority they are laid by April 25. These
eggs, of which from four to eight.
most often either five or six, are laid
in one litter, are of immaculate tur.
quoise blue. Usually two. occasion.
ally three, broods are raised in sea-
son.
AS soon as the first brood leaves
the nest the father takes almost ex.
elusive care of them until the female
searches out new nesting site and
starts the making of new home for
the second brood of youngsters. Tho
second litter is rarely as large as tho
first, consisting of four or five eggs,
When the second nest is complete the
father leaves his first family to shift
for themselves, for then all his time
will be occupied in attending to the
wants of the second.
A pair of birds will return to the
same site year after year and so long
as it remains suitable for their pur-
poses, and when they fail to return 1t
is safe to conclude that some serious
misfortune has befallen one or both
of them.-Chicago Tribune.

HAD ARM CUT OFF
TO GAIN SYMPATHY.
Curious Mania OF Frenohn,an
Who Puzzled Doctors With Sim
ulated Disease.

"A remarkable story has been re-
lated at the Academy of Medicine by
DR.. Paul Dieulafoy, Of the case of
man who from a morbid desire to
attract attention and sympathy will
fully allowed the amputation of an
arm for the sake Of curing an imagi-
nary disease.
The subject enjoyed excellent
health. was intelligent and well-bred,
and was employed in government
office. where he enjoyed an excellent
reputation. When his misfortunes
first began he was the centre Of
friendly solicitude. That was few
years ago. At that time there sud-
denly appeared on his left arm q
number of raw sores. The man
consulted several physicians. Their
diagnosis was almost always differ
ent. and the treatment invariably
unsuccessful. The sores were so per-
sistent and rendered the poor fell
low so unhappy that surgeon fin
ally suggested that he have the arm
amputated. The patient consented,
and the operation was performed.
Three months later the sores ap-
peared on the right arm, and then
on the feet. The patient sought con-
sultation at the Hotel Dieu with DR..
Dieulafoy, one of the most celebrat-
ed practitioners in France.
The physician studied the case
thoroughly. He was forced to reject
one hypothesis after another until
one day in the course Of an exami-
nation he noticed that the sores were
similar to those made by potash
burns. He piled the patient with
questions. and accused him of caus-
ing the sores himself. The patient
met the insinuation at first with in.
dlgnant denials. but finally con-
fessed the truth. Under the domin.
ion of an impulse too strong for the
will to overcome he had made all the
sores himself with potash. The
same impulse forced him to submit
to amputation.
DR.. Dieulafoy said that this was
one of the most remarkable cases
of simulated disease that he had
ever noted. Many patients initiated
disease for the sake of the pleasure
It gave Observation-Disclosures,
alcoholics and the like,
In the present case, however. no
pleasure was attendant upon the imi.
tated disease. The patient suffered
terribly from the wounds, and stood
the suffering heroically. The success.
sive treatments which he was forced
to undergo were costly and tedious,
as well as painful. In fact. the case
was so strange that there was no
word exactly to describe it, To find
a suitable one Paul Bourget and tho
doctor together then evolved the
word "pathomime." which may be
rendered disease mimic. Paris

Times.

End of the Route.

One cold, wintry morning, says a
writer in the Argonaut, man of tall
and angular build was walking down
steep hill at a brisk pace. A piece
of ice under the snow caused him to
slip and lose control of his feet. He
began to slide and was unable to
stop.
At a crossing halfway down he
encountered a large, heavy woman.
The meeting was sudden, and before
either realized it collision ensued.
and both were sliding down-hill. the
thin man underneath, the fat wo-
man on top.
When the bottom of the hill was
reached, and the woman was trying
to recover her breath and her feet,
these faint words were borne to her
ear:
Pardon me, madam, but you will
have to get off here. This is as far
