Superintendent Atkins VINO i

Superintendent Atkins, who is
called on by the enthusiastic shop
pers upon their return to the sani-
tarium to inspect their purchases,
says that in nearly every instance his
charges have shown what he consid-
ers as good judgment, if not better
sense, in laying out their money than
the average shopper.
He holds that in the crush o.
Christmas buyers the patients have
an equal chance with any other per-
SON.. that their conduct under such
conditions is as sedate las perfect,
normal people.
"The insane are supersensitive to a
degree, and the fact that they are
not made conspicuous by having with
them a nurse in the regulation uni
form seems to have been appreciat-
ed" said the DOCTOR
Not single complaint has result

strayed on any occasion from the
guardian, nor has any demurred al

MEN BURIED
BENEATH SNOW
Mans Foot Pr0trudes From Mound
and Pedestrian Notifies Police.
Victims Still Alive.

PlTTSBURG, Dec. 24.-Seeing a
mans foot protruding from snow
covered mound back of a billboard
at Second avenue and Hays street
Homestead, Thursday morning, Mrs.
John Harkins called a policeman and
pedestrians to dig out the man. When
the snow was taken off the mound
two middle-aged men were found,
huddled together, stiff and apparently
dead.
The frozen bodies were loaded into
an express wagon and hauled to the
police station. Physicians were call
ed to determine if the men had frozen
to death or if there had been foul
play and when they stripped the men
and examined them the doctors dis
covered that both were still living.
For hours the doctors worked over
the bodies and late Thursday evening
gave it as their opinion that both
men would live. Neither has recov-
cred consciousness and their identity
has not been discovered.
The mems pockets were searched.
but no papers were found which gave
their names. A few torn pay enve-
lopes and brass checks, such as are
commonly carried by foreign mill
workers, were found on them.

money and owns property, but he
still sells newspapers at his old stand,

the Fourth ward, which he proposes
to represent in council.
Finn will have the support of thou
