InvadeS Homes in South End,
Pleads Temporary In
sanity, Is Released.
HE WAS SOON RETURNED
BECAUSE HE ALMOST DROVE
WORKERS IN RAILROAD YARDS
FRANTIC BY JUMPING IN FRONT
OF THE TRAINS.

A man giving his name as Fred
in the south end yesterday afternoon
by his peculiar actions. His queer
movements caused a general feeling
of alarm to prevail among the resi-
dents in that section of the city. The
man was evidently harmless, howev-
err. His favorite form of amusement
seemed to consist in entering differ
ent houses without the formality of
knocking or ringing the door bell and
after throwing the excited occupants
into near panic, would calmly make
his exit and repeat the performance
at another house. He was arrested
and stated that he was subject to
temporary insanity spells. The man
said that he had no home or rela-
tives.
Wanted to Leave Town.
He stated in the city court this morn
ing that he wanted to get to Hot
Springs, and as he seemed perfectly
rational at the time, he was released
from custody.
About l o'clock this afternoon, how
ever, Patrolman Vogelsong brought
Baker into headquarters again and
locked him up. The man was arrest
ed in the east end Pennsylvania yards.
He almost set the employees themselves
crazy by jumping in front of passing
freight trains and by climbing over
moving box cars. When placed in
cell in the city Jail this afternoon, the
periodical lunatic tore all his clothes
from his body and attempted to set
them Attire before the matches were
taken away from him.

MRS. SW|TzER IN
CRITICAL SHAPE
Alleged Assault on Her, When
In Pregnant State, May
Be Serious.
WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
CHARLES EVANS, WHO ASSAULT
ED WOMAN'S HUSBAND, EN-
TIERS PLEA OF GUILTY AND
MAKES AN OPEN THREAT.

Charles Evans was arrested this
morning for assault and battery on
James Switzer, Wednesday at the home
of the latter, on North Sixth street
He entered plea of guilty in the city
court and was assessed a fine of So
and costs. The fine was paid. When
asked if he was guilty of an assault on
Switzer, Evans replied that he was
and would assault him again under
similar circumstances. Evans alleged
that Switzer had been telling lies OH
him.
Switzer is alleged to have said that
Evans showed his (Switzer's) wife
across the porch at his home when she
sought to interfere, although this evil
dence was not brought out in the city
court during the trial this morning.
1t is said that Mrs. Switzer is now in
critical condition, owing to the fact
that at the time of the alleged assault
upon her. she was in pregnant condi-
ton, She was removed to the Reid
Memorial hospital this afternoon.
Physicians Statement.
The attending physician stated to
Palladium representative this morn
ing that he had every reason to be-
lieve that the unborn child was dead.
At the time of the assault on Mrs.
Switzer, of which her husband claims
Evans is guilty, the woman had been
in a pregnant state for five months.
The shock has made her condition
critical, it is said.
Switzer did not file an affidavit
against Evans for assault and battery
on Mrs Switzer, although if Evans is
guilty of such an assault, as Switzer
claims, such an attack would consti-
tute an assault in the eyes of the law.
A charge may yet be filed. or. in event
the child is dead. and it is proved
that Evans was guilty of an assault on
the mother, more serious charge
may be placed against the man, it is
said.

Why Life Was a Burden to Him
 By Max Adeler
By Max Adeler

Some time ago Cooley caught a young man who was just about to jump from the wharf into the river. As he seized him, he saw that it was Jim Kelley, and he said:
 Why, Jim, what are you trying to do?"
 T reckon it's for the best" said Jim. "Parhars I'd better not do it., after all Why, was going to com init suicide"
 Suicide" exclaimed Cooley. Why, what on earth's the matter with you? Are you crazy, or drunk, or poor?"
 No"
 Tn love, maybe, and disappointed?"
 No"
 Well, what's troubling you?"
 Well, I'll tell you" said MT. Kelley. Tt doesn't seem so much now, but 1t bothered me awfully while ago Why, you see, l was sitting in my room up in the boarding house there. and l got to thinking. l thought what if l was to fall in love sometime with red-haired girl, and I was to marry her, md what if she should give birth to twins with the same kind of hair. And s'pose those twins should grow mp, one named Isaac and the ether Jacob, and s'pose Jacob should want to go to sea for sailor and we let him go, and he should get wrecked on the Cannibal islands, and the can, nibals should take fancy to him and adopt him as ah idol, and set him up in temple.
 And s'pose, after a while, he should gradually kinder get into their ways of living and should become a canni- bal himself And s'pose Isaac he should marry and raise a family of children, and one of his boys should go to sea and should be cast ashore on the island where his Uncle Jacob was acting as idol, and those canni bals should kill him, and cook him. and offer some of him to Jacob, and Jacob should eat him and want more. And then spose the government should rout out those savages. and send Jacob home, and he should have acquired such taste for Isaac's chil. dren that he would get to nibbling at the rest of them, and Isaac should ketch him at it, and suspect him and accuse him; and Jacob should then kill that other red-headed twin and eat him, and then eat all the children, and finally eat his mother and me, and then start out to swallow his aunts and uncles, and other relations until he cleaned up the family?
 Tt was so awful that I couldn't bear to think of it, and so 1 thought I would just block that heathen's lit tie game by drowning myself before the thing went any farther

"' " ng Q r.ully some other woman?' 9sked Cooley. You needn't marry a red-haired woman unless you want to-
 That's so," replied MT. Kelley re fiectively. T never thought of that. But s'pose l was to marry another woman, how do 1 know she wouldn't have a son who would get up and be- come prize-fighter, and would get up fights for the championship and of course I'd have to bet all my money on my own boy, and he'd be licked and I'd lose and be brought down to poverty in my old age, while he'd be so grieved that he'd murder somebody to get the money back for me again. and I'd happen to he elected sheriff just before he was tried and convict. ed, and it'd become my duty to hang him, Hang my own child. Think of that. will you? I don't think could stand it. I believe I'll commit suicide, anyway, if you'll leave me alone"
 Then Cooley led him away. and rec commended him to remain single and to let his fancy have play in writing stories for the papers. But Kelley seemed bent on courting an awful doom, and he proposed on the follow. ing Monday to Butterwick's oldest daughter, although she has red hair. She refused him, and he told Cooley the next day that he was cleared up on the Isaac and Jacob business, any how, and he thought maybe he might stave off the other calamity by keep ing out of politics and deciding never 10 run for sheriff.

BIRDS THE FIRST TO STAND
The Only Lower Creation of Nature That Hab'tuaiiy Does So, Ac-
 cordinp to Scientists.

And let us note that the art of standing began with birds. Frogs sit, and as far as 1 know every rep tile, be it lizard, crocodile, alligator or tortoise, lays its body on the ground when not actually carrying it. And these have each four fat legs. Contrast the famingo, which, having only two, and those like will low wands, tucks up one of them and sleeps poised high on the other, like tulip on it's stem
 Note also that one toe has been altogether discarded by birds as superhuous. The germ, or bud, must be there, for the Dorking fowl has produced fifth toe under some in- Auence of the poultry yard, but no natural bird has more than four.
 Except in swifts, which never perch, but cling to rocks and walls. one is turned backward, and by d cunning contrivance the act of bend- ing the leg draws them all auto- matically together. So hen closes its toes at every step it takes, as if it grasped something and of coarsc when it settles down on its roost they grasp that tight and hold it fast till morning.
 But to birds that do not perch this mechanism is only an encum- brance, so many of them, like the plovers, abolish the hind toe entire ly, and the prince of all two legged runners, the ostrich, has got rid of one of the front toes also, retaining only two.-Strand Magazine.
