PROPER CARE OF THE INSANE.
City of GheeI, in Holland, Takes Care
of These Unfortunates as
Its Guests.

One of the most remarkable places
in Europe, of which no tourist on
pleasure bent ever takes notice, is
the City of the Insane by which
name Gheel, near Antwerp, has been
known for generations. About 1,5O0
men and women, afflicted with insan-
lty in all its forms, live there, and
have happy being as the guests of
the inhabitants, who know by expert
ence how to treat the unfortunate
ones. In the streets, in the places OF
amusement, the cafes and workshops
these patients may be found, and no
where is there the remotest sugges-
ton OF restraint apparent. The board
ranges from 240 to 2,400 marks year,
and, no matter how small the amount
may be, the patient is always the
favored member of the family. He
has the first right to the most COM
Portable chair, and the head Of the
table belongs to him. He receives
the most attention, and this he learns
to appreciate and to endeavor to
maintain by living down his illness.
Even the children know how to treat
the demented people. The dangerous
CUES are sent to another settlement
and to institutions. 1t is wonderful
how considerate, careful and kind the
simple people are toward their
charges, and peep into the commun.
ity would probably terrify physicians
who had never heard of and could not
appreciate the good which is being
done in this City of the Insane"

The yellowhairsd hostess rushed
suddenly to the center table, took ali
the papers off and smoothed down "a
thick, fluffy yellow skin that lay there.
It's my cat" she explained. My
poor little pet cat that died last spring.
Isn't it beautiful? She was a lovely
cat You see her picture up there On
the wall when she was alive Lovely
little kitty" she purred to the skin.
while some of her guests shuddered
and one whispered to the other:
Il don't see how she could do it. IA
rather have the skin of my husband or
the table or floor than my pet cat"

MEDICINE OF LOVE CURED BRIDE WHO
WAS MARRIED ON HOSPITAL SICK BEL

DIES MONIES. Ia, April To-
When Bennett Dewey, well-known
newspaper man, married the girl
of hts choice at midnight in Mercy
hospital here, it seemed to him
that the future was all black.
Dewey was engaged to be mar
rted to Miss Hazel Williams,
daughter in q well-known Des
Moines family. She was taken i'll
with bronchial pneumonia, and,
after seven days of the illness,
doctors said she couldn't live. Her
lover had been at her side through
the Illness. The physicians told
Dewey that the girl had confided
TO them that she'd like to be mar
ried to him before she died-that
this had been the fondest wish of
her heart.
So Dewey hurried to get the IL
Cense, brought the rector of an
Episcopal church, and stood and
answered Yes" through the cere-
mony, with the scent of ether and
other drugs punctuating the SOL
emnity of the scene, while his
sweetheart lay on her sick bed,
almost too weak to whisper the
words that made her a wife.
Nobody thought then that she
would live through the night, but
on the following day the young
bride took sudden turn for the
better. The medicine of love did
Tor her, the doctors say, what
drugs and the surgeons knife
could not hope to do, and she is
now on the road to recovery.

MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN SAYS

 Yes, I am fool" she said. q am aslfamed to say that I believe that a clairvoyant or medium could exert kind of hypnotic influence over my husband so that he would feel kindly disposed toward me and would grant me a divorce without any trouble"
 This amusing and interesting tes- timony was brought out today when Mrs. Brandes appeared as complain ant against Della Golf, a trained nurse and Jacob Lamensdorf, an employ ment agent, to whom she says she paid S10,000 for the novel purpose described. Failing to obtain her di- vorce she had them arrested, charged with larceny. Magistrate O'Connor held both defendants in $7,500 bail and adjourned the intricate case for further hearing.
 Mrs. Brandes explained that before trying for her divorce she paid $200 to Miss Golf so that medium would influence MT. Brandes to give up the children and let her have furniture to furnish a home. She got the chil- dren and the furniture and eagerly entered upon the spiritualistic- divorce action In all instances, she said, she paid cash. with the understanding that the spirits would not recognize check
