ED c. McRADY
After Twenty Years, Death Comes to
His Relief.

Home again, but lifeless. After TWEEN
.ty years of confinement in the Insane
Asylum at Baton Rouge, death relieved
Ed C. McRady yesterday of his long
ordeal, and the body brought to Shreve-
port was buried this afternoon in Green
wood cemetery Appropriate service
was held at O'clock today in St. Marks
Episcopal church in the presence of a
gathering OF relatives and friends.
He was the son of Major McRady.
who, preceding the conflict between the
States. was wealthy land owner in and
about Greenwood. The deceased was
thoroughly educated and possessed all
the attributes which secured him popu-
.larity and the esteem of his friends. He
had filed acceptably and creditably the
office of chief of police and had been
employed in the assessors office when
his mind became unbalanced Finally
he was conveyed to the asylum for treat
ment, but the hope cherished by his good
wife that the would improve and be re-
stored to his normal faculties was never
realized. During all these long years
Mrs. McRady was untiring in her efforts
to do all that could be done for him.
As the past is recalled the genial face
of Ed McRady, before his af1ietion,
looms on memory as he was then, but
the end has come and he. has been called
to brighter cline

questions today when they appeared be-
fore the ways and means committee of
the house to argue in favor of reten-
ton of present duty imposed upon
their product by the Payne Aldrich tar
if act rather than the reduction that is
contemplated in proposed reciprocity
agreement with Canada.
Both republican and democratic men,
bers of the committee piled the paper
men with inquiries as to why decrease
in duty was feared when the reduction
eighteen months ago had been followed
by an increase in price rather than by
a decrease. The general reply was that
the increase had been a mere return
to normal prices after the low prices
incident to tariff agitation.
After the paper interests are heard
the committee will listen to represent
atives of other industries. The hear-l
ing will close Thursday:

will be made by shoe makers to have old
discount rate restored.

DR.. Evans

The courage Of lion at bay, great

buffalo, and he must yield his scepter
to the elephant, declares II. L. Tangye
In his book. I'm the Torrid Sudan" as
to courage, size, strength and intelli-
gence. 1t is a temptation to declare
that the elephant possesses sense of
humor. A herd Of elephants once fell
in with a train Of donkeys. Their
attention concentrated on the load the
donkeys carried. With all the mischief
Of monkeys, the loads were torn
asunder and their contents distributed
over half the province. At Dor, on
the Mountain Nile, the elephants were
at one time full Of practical jokes
Passing at night time through the VII
lage, they would knock the sleepers
up by demolishing their huts above
their heads. then contentedly march
away.

So he hurried downstairs and put the
new shoes in the hands Of the bare

beggar sat on the steps as usual, and,
as usual, his feet were bare. Dupre
hurried down to him. "Where are the

CURING BAD HABITS.
Try . Little Self Hypnotism on Your
Pet Weaknassaa.

Try = Little Self Hypnotism on Your
Pet Weaknesses.
In large eastern city is a profes.
sional hypnotist who has wide repu-
tation for curing the habit of intem.
perance His method is dirt simple.
There is no real hypnotism about It
unless it is matter Of self hypno-
hsm," this professor once said. II
simply observe the mind process of the
man that drinks and advise him how
to reverse it. The subconscious solil-
oQuy in the mind Of the man that
drinks runs something like this:
When did l have my last ball7
Whew! Long as that! don't see how
I stood it so long. Wouldn't have
thought it possible And so on the
victim repeats to himself on the prin-
ciple that he needs this periodical
stimulant just as it is necessary to
heap coal on to fire to keep it from
burning out. In a word, that man self
hypnotizes himself into the belief that
he needs drink.
my advice to cure this craving Is
not to fight the appetite, but to fight
down the cause that leads to the ap-
petite. Let man repeat to himself
over and over again: 4 really don't
need this drink. If take it, it's SIM
ply a matter of pouring SO much down
my throat superfluously, for I could
get along without Before long he
will be surprised how instead Of hyp-
nothing himself into drink he will
hypnotic himself out of it,
Simple, isn't it? But If this self
hypnotism or whatever you choose to
call it is a cure for intemperance why
Is it not equally recipe for curing
other bad habits ?-Chicago Tribune.
