Human Sacrifices.

Before a battle in former times the
priests solemnly devoted to the gods
the whole Of the hostile, army then In
sight, and, If possible, no man of II

coyed the great host of Varus into the
forest depths all the Romans that es-
capped death in the battle were cap
tured and led into the dark recesses,
where every man Of them was sacri-
feed upon hastily-erected affairs.
Latham, in his edition Of Tacitus,
quotes six contemporary authorities to
show that this practice Of concluding
victory with human sacrifices was
customary among our Teutonic ances-
tors. Some crucif1ed their prisoners,
others hung them up to trees for arch
cry practice, but in general a captive
was either slain on the spot or else re-
served to be sacrificed to the gods.
Even when the progress Of agriculture
induced them to keep the majority Of
the prisoners alive to be slaves they
appeased the gods for this indignity
by increasing the fortunes inflicted on
the small remainder.
Gibbon describes how, before the
blazing altar. every hundredth mans
arms we're hacked off him and, before
his eyes, thrown into the flames. All
that a red Indian would have done In
the eighteenth century was freely prac-
ticed by our ancestors Of twelve CEN
turtles ago. And the highest ideal Of
a man then included, as a duty, dark
cruelty and grewsome revenge against
all his enemies.

DUAL PERSONALITY.
Features of a Case Which Resulted
From a Sandbagging.

An interesting case of alternating
personality is described in a recent
number of the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association. The patient
was subject to spells of wandering
OF which he had no recollection in
his normal state.
After one of these he found him.
self in London, without having any
idea how he got there, and passing
into another he found himself in
similar plight at the Cape of Good
Hope. After that he was free from
these attacks for three years, when
they again returned, though not of
such long duration.
In the intervals he complained OF
more or less headache, which seem
ed to be aggravated when his attacks
came on. The patient was easily
hypnotized and then was able to give
an account of his doings while in
his secondary condition, of which he
normally had no recollection, and AT
ter coming out of the hypnotic, state
he had the same tire and exhaustion
as he felt after one of his periods
of secondary consciousness.
While hypnotized, however, he was
amenable to suggestion, which was
not the case in his secondary con-
seriousness. The marked resem-
blance, however, of his expression,
demeanor, &C., in the two conditions
was noticeable, and Gaver is inclin-
ed to suspect that the hypnotic state
is closely analogous to the conditions

in this patient
The patient attributes the attack
to a sandbagging received in 1902,
but is of a homeopathic predisposition
and had previously suffered from
nervous symptoms offender spine"
left sided hyperesthesiD following an
attack of typhoid fever in 1898. He
is still under observation and has
had no disturbances of consciousness
since November 1907 but is regard
ed as only improved, the abulia and
suggestibility remain and a return OF
the dissertation of personality Is
considered possible.

A rather good story Is told Of Lord
Aberdeen, a former governor general
OF Canada and a well known peer.
While walking along country road

work with all the gaiety of the butcher,
the baker, and the candlestick maker
in the old rhyme.
Indeed, divers have been known who
had such distaste for work that after
making descent they would pick out
a soft spot in the river bed, or wher-
ever they happened to be, and lie down
for nap. Alone under the water, they
were safe from the prying gaze Of any
employer, and could dispose Of their
time as they saw fit, until the invention

If he wishes to sing or joke over his
work, the diver must be his own audi

helmet is fastened to his shoulders
until it is taken off again, his loudest
shouting are inaudible to his comrades.
If an accident occurs, he can only pull
at his life line, and then wait while his
rescuers are at work, unable to offer
the slightest suggestion.
Life Ebbed Slowly Away.
In 1904 diver lost his life at the
Boonton, n. j., reservoir, and though
single word spoken to his comrades
might have been his salvation, the he'll
met effectually prevented its utterance.
He had been laboring under seventy
feet Of water to close the opening of
large intake pipe with a huge ball
Of wood and lead weighing several tons,
when in some manner his leg was
caught between the ball and the flange
OF the pipe. The force exerted on the
ball by the suction. Of water was so
great that the divers who came to the
rescue were unable to overcome 1t, and
the unfortunate man could only lie
there on his back hopelessly waiting,
his life slowly ebblng away. For three
days he lay imprisoned, and during
that time until he died his only COM

came down, or when they fitted into

THE MIDDLE AGED MAN.
Day of the CoIored Bordered Hand

called

the middle aged man, when it was
the fashion for men to carry hand
kerchiefs with fancy borders. Then
it was also the fashion for men to
carry their handkerchiefs tucked in
the outside upper pocket of their
coat, with a corner sticking out.
We'll, the other day I came across
in my possessions a handkerchief

because il carried me back to days

Some of the coIored handkerchiefs

then we had handkerchiefs that had
a narrow hemstitched border Of
single solid color, as blue or red;
and I am free to say | liked those;
and for that matter l have had hand

Lizzie Bixby Learned to Recognize
Her Unexpected Riches.
Lizzie Bixby, presenting herself at
Aunt Ellen Cases with a broken-nosed
pitcher, wore a sullen frown on her
thin face
Ma says, can you let her have lit

Then her voice changed. II jest hate

temptuously.

But she thought all the same. All
unguessed by either, motherly Aunt
Ellen had touched the great need Of the

plan; she was. as her shiftless father
often informed her, the only one Of the
family with brains. The eager, search.
ing brain presently discovered things
all unguessed~b Aunt Ellen's simple
philosophy.
Folks kin buy things with money
Lizzie decided, "but they can't buy you
that's how you can give"
As the years passed, Lizzie found
plenty Of opportunity for giving; heI

Samuel Olson Loses LIES Savings In
Matrimonial Venture.


From q home of plenty, owner of one of
the best farms in the town of Arson, near
Chippewa Falls, to a state of poverty, an
inmate of a soldiers home in San Fran
cisco, is the fate of Samuel Olson, plo-
neer resident of Chippewa county and one
of the first loggers in the Chippewa valley.
Three years ago Mr.. Olson sold his farm
and with the proceeds went West lie
was then widower and in the course OF
time he met a buxom widow. He became
infatuated with her and won her. The
new Mrs. Olson was not as lovely after
marriage as during the counting day. She
NAV have loved her husband, but she
seemed to have loved his money better.
Anyway. Mr.. Olson's money went with a
velocity that made him fairly gasp. But
Mrs Olson wanted more money, and al
though her husband assured her that she
had gone through with it, she did not be-
lieve it, and came to Chippewa county to
investigate whether he did not have some
hidden property here. Being disappointed
inner search, she returned to her home
And now comes the news that Mr.. Olson
is in a soldiers home. His wife is not
with him.

Drum and Cub Refuse to Move from
Railroad Track Until Shot At.
Because the engineer did not have the
heart to run them down, a passenger train
on the Ashland division of the Northwest
ern road, running between Momico and
Rhinelander the other afternoon, was held
up and delayed for a quarter of an hour
by big bear and her cub. An Appleton
man, who was among the passengers on
the train, declares the bear and cub re-
NAMED on the track and refused to move
except when the engine men climbed from
the cab and threatened to drive away the
animals. The only move they made then
was to walk toward the men in threat
ening manner. 1t was not until the ex-
press messenger was summoned and sew
eral bullets sent whizzling past the ears
of the bruins that the right-of-way was
cleared and the train resumed its trip.

Forest Fires Make 1t Necessary to
Cut Millions OF Feet of Timber.
AS a result of the forest fires which
ragged through this section last month,
millions of feet of timber will have to be
logged this winter. The Menasha Wood
enware Company alone, it is understood,
will have to log upwards of 100000
feet and camps are already being estab-
lished with that purpose in view. As an
evidence of the urgency of this move on
the part of the lumbermen supplies are
now being rushed up into the timber re-
gion and men are being hired from all
quarters to carry on the work. The sea-
son in Rhinelander promises to be the
best one in years, as a large bulk of the
logs will be sawed in the local mills. Ii
is estimated that there is upwards of
jO,000,000 feet of fire-swept timber in
Oneida and Villas counties.
