Hickory Democrat
The Hon. Jake Newell. OF Char
lotte, one of the Republican leaders
In Mecklenburg County, while on the
wrong side Of politics. is a good fell
low and congenial companion. He
tells good story and keeps an ear
open for a new one to add TO his
list.
Jake's latest yarn is to the effect
that he was riding on a Southern
train in Western North Carolina a
short while ago, when he fell into
conversation with a gentleman who
had taken friend to the State Hos
pital at Morganton. 1t seems that
the peculiar mental trouble Of this
unfortunate was not "brain-storm"
nor confessional insanity" but a fall
ure after years of search to find just
what he had set his heart upon. The
victims mind rather ran to mathe-
matics. He was said to be pretty
good at cyphering on his slate when
he was at school. AS he grew older
he began to juggle with numbers,
and he held job for awhile at a
railroad station.
He began to watch the numbers on
freight cars. He was interested In
the combination of these numbers
and finally it flashed into his mind
that he had never seen the figures
1-2-3-4-5 in this regular sue
cession on the side of box-car. He
made up his mind to find this COM
bination. He searched far and wide.
His heart leaped one day several
years ago when he found the figures
1884 on the side Of a box-car.
But this was one short of the ideal.
This was a drink Of cold water, but
it was not a quaff from the Fountain
of Perpetual Mouth, so to speak. He
searched on.
The days and months and even
years flew by. He found that life was
growing short. He began to do night
work. He remembered Diognes and
! got a lantern. The former hunted
for an honest man, but this gentle
man looked for 1-2-3-4-5 on
the side of a box-car. He would go
down to the railroad yards in the
town where he lived at night, after
supper, and hold the light up that it
might cast its glow upon the side of
the car and perchance revea 1.-The
magic numerals-1-2-3- II
is said that he found 54321, 13245,
15243, 51423, and 42351, but never
1-2-3-4-5. Pake made an es-
innate on the cars the fellow had
counted during the six and a hall
years Of his search. and figured 1t out
123, ,541, ,234, 2,345.
Jake says they have put the man
in a room in the Hospital next to the
Western North Carolina Railroad and
furnished him with small spy glass
II the spy glass does its duty, the fsl.
low will be sane again some day.

she died in few hours, suffering
great agony, her body being literally

the scene was that her husband, who

compelled to witness that horrible
