As handsome n specimen of the ear
builders craft as ever was seen was a
combination passenger and baggage ear
which was turned out of the local shops
of the CHA Valley, Globe & Northern

built here, but it went into the shops

the repairs were finished, none could
have told the old car from a bran

MYSTERY OF THOUGHT.
Try to Concentrate Your Mjpd on One
Theme For Five Minutes.


Theme For Five Minutes.
A st. Louis physician who has given
much attention to the study OF mental
disease I'm its various phases. though.
as he says himself, not enough to quail
ify as an alienlst. has 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 a moment the errant
thoughts that come and SO. not only
without our volition. but in spite OF
our most earnest efforts mt mental ap-
pli0ltion
He goes so far as to maintain that
nobody but 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.
II once heard the subject discussed
by a party OF intelligent men. and one
Of the number was so confident of his
ability to think OF one subject an in
deilnite length of time that he reused
his opponents to the point OF making Il
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 1t. I'll make
you a present of a horse and saddle
and bridle.'
THE confident one took up tue chaj-
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 APP
parently with the most determined at
tention straight through the prayer.
After he said amen and opened his
eyes he was asked how be had got
along with his task.
Its failure. gentlemen. l didn't
get to the end of 'hallowed be thy
name before I wondered what kind Of
a horse Ii was going to be, and before
I reached thy will be done ! 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, horse my father
had and how he threw me over his
head when switched him with To-
Gust thorn branch: then of mare that
kicked old Pete in the ribs while they
were in the pasture together and left
the imprint of both shoes on his side.
and before reached amen 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.
az did think I could fix my mind on
one thing for awhile, but when I
tried my brains seemed to scatter like

An Eccentric VIII.

In the year 1876 a gentleman living
in England named Samuel BALDWIN
died after a, somew hat unhappy mar,
ried life. BY his win Mr.. Baldwin
left his property 10 his young wife on
the condition that she should from time

The motive for this strange request
was evident when the instructions for
his interment were read Mr.. Baldwin
desired that HIS remains should be TAX

cast In the sea. This singular wish
enabled him to revenge himself on his
wife for past disagreements. and the
widow lost the property, as she could

and his library was now offered for

Enthusiastically, and there resulted one
of the most amusing incidents of the
decade.
For instantly the learned book low
ers were up in arms, each trying to
outdo his rival and secure for him
self the most precious Of the treas
ures at the sale which was advertised.
Orders poured in from all over Eu-
rope on the behalf of scholarly socie-
ties, libraries, royal families and lit
erary epicures. One bookseller came
all the way from Amsterdam just to
see No rs, the Corpus Juris Civiis.
The Princess de Ligne "for the honor
of her family" ordered No. 4S at any
price to suppress it on account Of GER
tain dscreditable family episodes 1t
was supposed to contain. Many other
prominent persons and institutions
clamored for a chance at the collec-
ton. Men remembered having seen
books that never existed says Will
liam Shepard. "The foreman in Caste
mans printing office at Tourney had
distinct recollections of a bogus vol
ume credited to his press"
Unfortunately the advertised sale
never came off. On the 9th of August,
the day before it was to have begun,
the Brussels papers announced that
the town Of Binche had determined
TO keep the collection intact by pur-
chasing it with public funds. The
amusing part of this statement was
that Binche was a most insignificant
village, quite unable to purchase
much Of anything, let alone a univer-
sally desired library. Still, even that
statement was believed.
The truth eventually transpired
that the Count de Fortsas, his mir
acuous liberty and the catalogue were
all the creations Of an ingenious fell
low named Rene Chalons, living in
Belgium. His catalogue begot a rather
extensive literature Of its own, which
has since been collected and publish
ed under the title Documents ct Par
ticularites Historiques sur lie Comte
de Fortsas" A copy Of the original
now rests in the Congressional libra
ry at WashingtOn.-Cinci Com

Katie Mae, narrowly escaped drowning
Sunday shortly after noon. The little
girl was playing with the children of
Mr.. Vaughan across the street from

when she fell into a pool Of water and
would have drowned had it not been
for the screams of the other children,
which brought reScuer.' "A petit
ton is being circulated and being sign
ed by a large number of the citizens
of the county asking the legislature to
pass a special act for CASTOR county
limiting the amount of liquor any per-
son except a duly licensed druggist
may have in his possession, without be-
ing guilty of retailing, to one-half gal
Ion. Many other counties of the state
have special laws placing a certain linz
it. in some of which the amount Is as
low as one quart The object OF the
law is to enable the officers and courts
to more easily and effectively deal with
the illegal retailing Of liquor. The act II
passed, will make the possession by any
person of more than one-half gallon,
evidence that he has it on hand for the
purpose of retailing and hence liable
under the law. Under the general state
law, which is now in force in CASTOR
county in the absence of a special act,
no matter how great a quantity OF
whisky may be found in the possession
Of person, he can not be convicted
of retailing without proof that he has
actually sold it to another party. The
new law would make the mere possess
sion of more than half a gallon evidence
of guilt. The above mentioned petition
has been signed by a very large num-
ber of citizens and will be sent up to
the legislature during the extra session
which convenes today.
