You and star daisies hunting
when the evening shades are nigh
LOU LOU and / and Baby Bunting
where the gardeners are angels
AND no florists sell and buy.
On the planet Bye-and-Bye
We shall live and never die
Inere is respite from home hunting
Many millions miles on high;
You and I and Baby Bunting

In the coming Bye-and-Bye

Has Multiple Personality.
. me statement was made at Grace
hospital Wednesday that Prof. Allen
Ddefendorf of the Yale Medical school
had succeeded in taking Charles Van
Osten, the Grace hospital patient.
through New York City while hypno-
t1zed, and that Van Osten had shown
MN the scenes previously described
while in a hypnotic state.
Before the trip began Van Osten
was hypnotized by DR. Diefendorf, and
ne was asked to go to his former
homes in Forty-second and Twenty
second streets. Van Osten made a
bee line through the streets to the ad-
dresses he had repeatedly given in
previous hypnotic examinations When
he found strangers living in them he
showed grief and CONSERVATION at not
finding his wife and child.
Van Osten had told in his previous
examinations of many of his friends
having been in the Slocum disaster.
He was deeply touched by the sight
OF the Slocum monument and wept
profuse1y.
Van Osten suddenly disappeared
from the city last week, and the Grace
hospital officials have been bitterly
attacked by New Haven newspapers
for not supplying attendants to pre-
vent his escape. It is thought that he
has wandered back to- his old haunts
find his wife and family.
DR.. Diefendorf made his first state
ment regarding the case Wednesday,
saying the diagnosis indicates that
Van Osten is clearly a victim of null
tiple personality.
The hospital officials and DR.. Die
fendorf insist that Van Osten is not
shamming, and that his case presents
an opportunity to study rare phases
of multiple personality. induced by
heavy blows on the head. They say
that treatment in future cases of men,
tai disturbance arising from cranial
blows may be largely Influenced by
discoveries made in this case.-New

Savings Nine Billions.
According to statistics compiled by
William Hanhart, secretary of the
savings bank section of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association, the bank
ed,' savings in the United States
amount to s5,560,S37, 016. Including
the savings in life insurance compan-
les and building loan associations. the
total visible savings of the people of
this country are placed by Mr.. Han
hart at approximately $500, 100000
or equal to Sis per capita of popu-
lation.
Mr.. Hanhart's figures were compil-
ed at the request of the committee
ON postal savings banks of the Amer
lean Bankers Association, with whom
he has just filed his report. Mr. Han
hart says in his report that the fig
ures compiled by the comptroller of
the currency showing total banked"
savings of only $3.50, 553.945, are In
complete, inasmuch as they do not in
clude savings deposits in state and
national banks
In speaking of the statistics ne mas
complied Mr. Hanhart says: Il think
/ prove the fallacy of the argument
advanced by former postmaster gen
eral in connection with his proposal
to establish postal savings banks that
the savings banks OF the United states
are not adequate to the needs or the
public, and that in many parts of the
country there are no facilities what
ever for taking care of the savings
of our citizens.'-New York Tribune.
The Negro in Charleston.
We wish the editors of the New York
Evening Post and of the Springfield
Republican had been in Charleston yes
terday to see the downstrodden negro
in these parts marching through our
streets, 500 of him. with his banners
flying and his bands playing, led by an
escort of white policemen. and con-
graduated by the cruel white people,
who lined the sidewalks, for his good
appearance and his fine behavior. The
street cars got out of his way and all
traffic stopped while he was passing
through the principal streets to his pic
mic grounds. 1t was the annual parade
of the Odd Fellows, and it was credit
able to them and to the community IN
which they make their living. One OF
the banners carried by stalWart man
was inscribed with these words:
s'Amicitia. Amor ct Veritas." That is a
fine sentiment 1t explains the true
status of the white people and the
black people of this town. 1t has never
been broken except when far-away ana
irresponsible dreamers and theousts
have tried to destroy the relations
which have always existed and still ex-
ist in this community between the
races.-Charleston News and Courier
