COACH YOST TO
STAY FOR TWO
MORE YEARS

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. Fielding
H. Yost will teach football to the
young men of Michigan for at least two
years more. At the board of control
meeting last night two year contract
with the hurry up man was ratified,
both the coach and the university &C
cepting the terms. Just what salary
Yost will receive neither party cares
to say.
There is great rejoicing among the
students over the decision. Since the
two brilliant victories over Pennsyl-
vania and Minnesota the coach has been
the most popular man connected with
the university. The assurance that he
will be on hand next fall to work with
the fine material in sight leads Michi-
gan men to believe that more fat years
are in sight.
The signing of Yost means that for
two years more Michigan will remain
outside the western conference. as Yost
cannot teach under conference rules.

TENANT-HuNT IN THE TIMES.

A PRIVATE INSANE ASYLUM.

Copyright. 1907, by M. M. Cunningham
 pr. Treats private insane asylum, situated nine miles from the city, had been in existence for ten years when the first breath of suspicion was raised against 1t. The editor of the Daily Ar gus was a personal friend of the doc. tor. He regarded 1t as one of the model institutions of the country and had time and again commended it in the most favorable terms
 One day young woman escaped and told such tales as led to an inves- tigation.
 The trick of getting reporter into prison or an asylum for a few weeks to report on the condition of affairs was a new thing then, though old enough now. On the city staff of the Argus was a man named Green. He suggested the plot that was carried out He was to be sent to Dr. Treats asylum for treatment. The editor took up the idea not because he doubted the doctor. but from newspaper standpoint Green would find nothing to criticise during his stay, but his ar ticles on life in an insane asylum would make good reading. It would be stroke of newspaper enterprise to show that the Argus was wide awake. The details of the plot were worked out, and then Green suddenly disap- peared. It was learned from the editor ,,I bot fy.inn1c hod him incarcerated in the asylum as ''trou- blesome person." In plain English that meant that he stood between somebody and property. Two doctors were found to certify to the fact that he was "harmlessly insane" That meant he was in the way. but not ex- actly given to chopping up people with an ax His examination by these doc tors lasted less than half an hour.
 The editor continued to visit the doctors retreat and to assure him that he believed in his integrity. but each time he went out there he man. aged to secure brief interview with Green. In fact. he was handed a writ ten report of what had been seen and heard. Why none of these reports twelve in all-were never published will be explained later. Green had not gone to the asylum to dissemble. He announced on his arrival that he was perfectly sane, and he continued to talk and act like any sane man.
 For the first three days he was well treated. Then he was called into the doctors office and told that if he con tinued to play the hypocrtte he would bring down punishment on himself. The doctor meant by that that if Green still continued to act like a sane man he might expect trouble. He re- fused to make any change and was placed in a dark cell for three days.

Paris Pattern No. 25S1, All Seams Allowed.-A pretty little frock for small girl which is equally appropri ate for her older sister, is here illus trated. It Is developed in fawn-col- ored nlohair, with feather-stitching of bright red silk. A box-plait down the center front and center-back and wide tuck over each shoulder give the required fullness, and the short, full skirt is gathered and attached to the waist under a narrow belt of the ma terial. The belt, cuffs and collar are featherstitched to match the box plaits, and pretty finish would be to feather-stitch the hem. If de- sired, soutache braid may be used in stead of the feather-stitching The pattern is in six sizes-two to twelve years. For a child of six years the dress requires SIS yards of material 27 inches wide, 21s yards 36 inches wide, or 2A yards AZ inches wide; SL yards of soutache braid.
 To procure this pattern send 10 cents to Pattern Department" of this paper. Write name and address plainly and be sure to give size and number of pattern.

AS he was still rational when he came out, one of the keepers knocked him down with club.
 That was the beginning of the mans persecution. He could have been re- leased at any time by tipping the wink to the editor, but he had determined to make his investigation a thorough one One of the punishments was be- ing tied down on a cot, face upward. and dish of water suspended from the ceiling in such manner that single drop struck his face every sec ond At the end of an hour each drop seemed to have the force of sledge hammer Another was to tickle the soles of his feet until he went into mysteries. There was a ferocious great hound at the asylum, the proper ty of one of the attendants. Green and other patients would be tied in chair and the dog tied to a ring in the wall and left together for half an hour. The rope on the dog would be tied so that he could get his teeth within an inch of his victims legs. On several occa StOuS tue IOpS StIclCutu anu SndDlSu him to infiict terrible bites. Green con cealed pencil and paper and managed to write of these things and pass them to the editor After month had passed he had made good case against the doctor and was told to chop it off there. This he refused to do He wanted to get the whole of 1t down to the last detail
 When he refused to play insane to please the doctor. who must have known that he was a perfectly sane man. Green was starved for two days at d time. and the punishments num- bered score. One of the worst was heading him up in barrel and rolling him around the back yard for half an hour at a time The food he describ- ed as not fit for dogs though the Ar gus, to oblige the doctor, had publish ed bill of fare fit for wealthy people to sit down to. Sane or insane, every patient had program to go through with when visitors were being shown through the place. They must speak of the doctor as God and bless him for his goodness. If asked what they had to eat they must mention a list of twelve articles. To fail in these things meant a brutal beating The editor could see at each weekly visit how Green was failing, and at last certain day was set for the expose and his release. Before that date came word was received that he had made his escape. Just after the word came he entered the office and walked over to his desk without speaking to any one There he sat for half an hour with his head in his hands, and when the city staff finally gathered around him he lifted his head and be- gan to babble like child. He was clean gone daft, and, though he lived on for three years. his reason never returned
 The next day the asylum was mob- bed. and the doctor had to fly for his life. The Argus had said that he was a good man and merciful man and that his enemies had done him injus- tice. The Argus had a scoop right at hand. but it was never published. The editor couldn't see his way clear to eating his own words. M. QUAD.
