MYSTERY OF THOUGHT.
Try to Concentrate Your Mind en- CGe
Theme For Five Minutes.

A St Louis physician who has given
much attention to the study of mental
disease in it's various phases. though.
as he says himself, nor enough to quai-
ify as an alieniSt. has Il curious theory
with regard to concentration of thought
on any particular subject
His idea is that no human can SO
fix his mind on any special topic as
to avoid even for Il moment the errant
thoughts that come and go, not only
without our volition. but in spite of
our most earnest efforts at mental ap-
plication.
He goes so far as to maintain that
nobody but a monomaniac can think
of one subject continuously for five
minutes and even believes that the
ability to do so is one evidence of
something wrong in the upper story.
Il once heard the subject discussed
by Il party Of intelligent men, and one
of the number was SO confident of his
ability to think of one subject an in
definite length Of time that he reused
his opponents to the point of making a
test.
IF you can repeat the Lords Prayer
and then declare upon your word of
honor that you have not thought Of
anything else while doing it, III make
you a present of a horse and saddle
and Bride
The confident one took up the chal-
lenge and in order to fix his mind
requested the company to keep still un-
til he got through. Then, with frown-
ing broWs and tightly drawn face, he
began aloud and went slowly and ap-
parently with the most determined at
tention straight through the prayer.
After he said amen and opened his
eyes he was asked how he had got
along with his task.
Its Il failure, gentlemen. l didn't
get to the end of 'hallOwed be thy
name before | wondered what kind OF
Il horse it was going to be, and before
| reached thy will be done l thought
about black saddles and white saddles
and about the horse again; then of the
bride and the rein. whether they
would be of light or dark leather
then of old Pete, a horse my father
had and how he threw me over his
head when | switched him with a To-
Gust thorn branch; then of mare that
kicked old Pete in the ribs while they
we're in the pasture together and left
the imprint Of both shoes on his side,
and before | reached amen l thought
of drove Of wild horses that used to
be out on the plains and what pile OF
money man would make by round
ing them all up and selling them for
farm horses.
4 did think l could fix my mind on
one thing for awhile, but when [
tried my brains seemed to scatter like
