A PERSON OBSESSED.
The Victim of an Insistent and Com
puEsive Habit OF Action.


The word "obsession" may be defined
as an insistent and compuIsive thought,
habit of mind or tendency TO action.
The person so burdened is said TO he
obscssed.
Few children are quite free from oh
session. Some must step on stones:
others must walk or avoid cracks;
some must ascend the stairs with the
right foot first; many must kick posts
OF touch objects a certain number OF
times. Some must count the windows,
pictures and figures on the wall paper;
some must bite the nails or pull the
eye winkers.
Consider the nail bitter. 1t cannot lie
said that he tolls not, but to what end?
Merely TO crafty an obsession. lie
nibbles a little here and little there;
he frowns, elevates his elbow and in
yertS his finger TO reach an otherwise
inaccessible corner. Does he enjoy it?
No, not exactly, but he would be mis-
cradle If he discontinued.
It is during childhood that we form
most of the automatic habits which
are to save time and thought in later
foolish habits creep in. AS a rule,
children drop these tendencies at need,
just as they drop the rules assumed
in play. though they are sometimes so
absorbing as to cause Inconvenience.
An interesting instance was that of
the boy who had TO touch every one
wearing anything red. On one occa-
sion his whole family lost their train
because Of the prevalence of his color
among those waiting in the station.
The longer these tendencies are re-
! tanned in adult life the greater the dan
ger of their becoming coercive. And
so far as the we'll esta blished case is
concerned, the obsessive act must be
performed, though the business, social
and political world should come to a
standstill
A child who must kick posts is father
to the man who cannot eat an egg
which has been boiled either more or
less than four minutes, who cannot
work without absolute silence, who
cannot sleep if steam pipes Crackle
and who must straighten out all tan
giles of his life, past. present and flu
ture, before he can close his eyes in
Slumber or take a vacation.
The boy Carlyle, proud, shy, sensi-
| tive and pugnacious, was father to the
man who made war upon neighbors'
poultry and had a room, proof against
sound, specially constructed for his
literary labors. - Lippincotts Maya
zine.

tween her and Thaw In the first trial,
she said:
Because Mr.. Delmar said ii might
make Harry too crazy"
This was fair sample of the way in
which the harassed woman occasional
ly turned on jerome. When the wit
ness confessed TO Thaw that she could
not marry nim on account of Stanford
White. she was not thinking of the
Thaw family at all, she said; she had
refused him instinctively, feeling that
it was not right
This was after jerome had hashed
and rehashed the reyolting details
which on Friday he said should never
be told in open court.
Jerome brought out the fact that the
Witness mad told Stanford White that
Harry Thaw was very thin and ugly"
and for a time the prisoner seemed
panied. He is undoubtedly vain of his
position as star actor in the drama.
New Feature introduced.
But one new feature appeared in
the testimony of the witness. This was
when she told about Thaw swallowing
the contents of q bottle of laudanum
at Monte Carlo in 1904 i'm an attempt
10 end his life. Previously to this. at
the Grand hotel in New York, Thaw
had talked of suicide. his wife declar-
ed, and had suggested that she also
should take poison. as both their lives
had been ruined.
Mrs. T1aw said she humorcd Thaw
at the time and diverted his mind.
She was out of'the room when he fin
ally took the poison in Europe.
"Why didn't Won tell us about this
at the first trial." demanded Mr.. Jc-
rome.
Because Mr.. Delmas said it might
make Harry out too crazy the wit
ness retOrted before nc district at
tOrney could stop he.
Jerome's Tactics.
After Mr. Jerome had questioned
the witness al lengt.! az to her trips
abroad and the dinner at Martins he
asked If she testified at the first trial
about the suicide.
NO, did not because Mr.. Delmas
MADAME shouted the distric. at
torney. kindly answer my question
and don't argue"
Mr.. Jerome repeated his tactics Of
last year, jumping frequently from
| one period OF the story TO another and
then returning

desperate courage, careless of all CON
SEQUENCES.
She said that after her acquaintance
with White she had thought all wOm-
en- were improper person, and that she
had thought herself very degraded
person.
Afterward. as her knowledge of the
world Widened. she began TO suspect
that there We're some good women in
the world. It, was then that she
thought herself unworthy To become
the wife of any good man.
Again the prisoner smiled. 1t
seemed as though. with every down
ward drag of his wifes soul Thaw felt
himself nearer freedom so much up
lifted toward the pinnacle of justifca-
ton.
But this strange man only sat in his
chair with curved hand and flaring
ears listening to the testimony of the
woman he had married knowingly.
The path chosen by Jerome was not
altogether a smooth one. The witness
was undeniably clever. When the
prosecutor asked her why she had not
told him about the suicide pact be

ASSURING BANK DEPOSITS

In Texas the. question of insuring
 bank deposits is. about as live an issue as can be found. The recent scare put them to thinking and looking about for an intelligent plan to prevent flu, ture similar panics. Of course, out of the thousands of banks and trust com panies over the country, comparative ly very few failed in the recent crisis, yet the failure of that few was suffi- cient to destroy confidence and cause a withdrawal of deposits. Insurance Commissioner Love, of Texas, recon mends that the banks have insure rec companies among themselves, so strong that there will be some certainty about depCsitors receiving full protection
 What is wanted is a method of in- surance that will appeal to the aver age depositor, to every depositor, in fact, man or woman, native or foreig r. CT, intelligent or the reverse, as safe beyond doubt, and nothing will az
 peal to them. so effectually as the acknowledgement that the government, State or Federal, will see that their money will be returned to them, no matter what happens.
