ing Kinks are in no sense inherently bad,
but so long as those maintained for profit
are the only relief for nervous WEAKNESS
and the desire for stimulation. we may
well reckon leisure thing spent, not used.
These amusements take a toll from the
peoples income, disproportionate to the in
come gained. They divert, and to the work.
ing girl, diversion is essential.
Il shall not soon forget a Saturday even
ing when l stood and watched men and
women packed thick at the entrance Of
every picture show. The crowd of wait
ing people filled the long vestibule and
even part of the sidewalk. They were de-
termined to be amused, and this was one of
the things labelled Amusement They
were hot and tired and irritable, but willing
to wait for their chance to get in. Is not
, this eagerness as we'll worth conserving
as any river fall that makes electricity or
drives a mill? In large measure today
working women are spending their leisure
not using 1t. The beginning where they
may use 1t is already made. How rapidly
this trend shall increase, depends in part
on the choice of the working women and
the character of their industrial life, and
in part on the social foresight Of the COM
munity"

WORKMAN is SUDDENLY
BEREFT OF HIS REASON

Bradley, who Has Him
Examined.

Sunddenly bereft of his reason, Andrew
Price, formerly a sailor in the United
States navy. who went through the Span
ish-American war with Admiral Schley,
was about to do himself personal violence
In the dlm-lighted basement of the new
Omaha National Bank building Seventeenth
and Farnam streets, at u:15 Saturday
morning, when four of his fellow workmen
threw him to the cement floor and held
him until Sheriff Bradley and corps of
deputies could arrive and manacle him. He
will be taken to a hospital pending further
examination.
For the three weeks Price has been work
in the basement and in the elevator shafts
OF the building, being one of half dozen
men employed by the Otis Elevator COM
pany. He seemed in good health until Sat
urday morning when he told his fellow
workmen that his head ached. He said
he had not been able to eat since last
Thursday. A few minutes later be became
violent, throwing himself against the walls
and crying. His fellows caught and held
him, fearing he would harm himself.
George w. Wright, superintendent fol
the Otis company, hurried to the court
house. filed information of insanity agains
Price, and had Sheriff Bradley and depu
ties take charge of him.
He is a good workman" said Wright

PENALTY OF CHILDHOOD FEAR
PremonitiOn of End Fulfilled when

| First Time.

PremonitiOn OF End Fulfilled when
Gas jet H. Touched for the
First Time.
After undressing in the dark for more
than ten years because Of an unconquera-
bic fear that he would be asphyNlated,
Fred Click. 10 years of age, of Hammond.
Ind, lit the gas in his bed room for the
first time Monday night and was found
dead next morning from the effects of the
fumes of Illuminating gas which filled the
room. Because Of an innate terror OF
death from asphy Xiation which had pos
sessed him ever since his childhood. when
a playmate died as "a result OF turning on
the gas, Click had never before in his life
turned on gas jet.
Although not a believer in predestination
Click lived in mortal terror that some day
he would be asphyxiated, ana often CON
fided his fears to his relatives and friends
For long while he used a candle to un-
dress By at night. but on several occasions
he had fallen asleep. leaving the candle
lit. and a fire had been narrowly averted
linen he undressed in the dark, refusing
to have even a lamp in his room that
might explode or cause a fire by being lett
lighted.
Monday night, on undressing, CLICK
dropped a piece of money ON the floor and
heard IL roll across the room in the dark.
He struck a match. which rlckered and
went out. He had only one match left and
wanted to find his money before morning,
! for fear that he would forget 1t.
His relatives and friends had often
laughed at his fear Of gas, and he deter
/ mined that he would risk 1t just that once
| and lit the gas with his one remaining
match. He found the coin and when ready
| for bed went to turn out the light.
| Whether the awful dread that had pur-
sued him for years suddenly gripped him
| and compelled him to do the very thing OF
which he was in mortal terror is not
| known. Some advanced the theory thai
| the fear which had 50 long controlled his
brain also controlled his muscles at the
| crucial moment and made him turn on the
gas again after he had turned it off. His
brother is of the opinion that because
Of clicks ignorance of gas fixtures he
turned on the gas again after he had
turned it off. Then, too, he believed tina
Click might have left the gas burning anC
| the wind blew it out. He was found hall
across the room, having evidently strug
gled to reach the gas jet of which he hat
been so long in mortal fear.-Chicago Int

Modern Farm Methods
Change in Implements

Modern methods OF farming have made
wonderful changes in the farm implements
Of the inter mountain country" says Frank
Stevens, president Of the Sidney Stevens
Implement company Of Ogden, Utah The
changes have cone in the small hand tools
as well as in the larger implements and
the implement men OF our section have
kept pace with the improvements because
we wish to do all we can for the greater
movement for better crops The first two
row beet cultivators were built for our
trade, as were also the first four row riding
beet cultivators, the demand for the same
having been made by the growers
This was also true of other implements
At the start a common pillow without a
mold board was used for sub-soil work in
the beet fields, while now special plow
has been built for the purpose. The first
successful beet pullers were made in Ogden
although other makes have since taken
their place. The changes have come in
methods as well as in tools and they have
come in the dry farming as well as in the
| irrigated sections"
Frank Stevens is the son of Sidney
| Stevens, the pioneer implement dealer of
| Utah and the inter-mountain country,
: whose death occurred but a few days ago.
| Sidney stevens was a native OF England,
! but came to America when a young man
and crossed the plains with an OK team to
establish a business which expanded into
all parts of northern Utah and southern
Idaho. This territory includes the Cache
valley, the section where the first applica-
ton was made of dry farming methods and
Mr. Stevens introduced the implements for
the farmers so that they could carry the
work on successfully.
In Utah there is no such think as a
failure of dry farmed crops II they are
properly seeded and cultivated" continued
Frank Stevens. This has been a most
unfavorable year and yet fields which six
weeks ago looked as II they would have nc
crop at all are yielding from fifteen to
twenty bushels of wheat per acre. This is
