Mental TwiIioht,

Mental health passes into mental dis,
ease most commonly in gradual way,
as light passes into darkness There
is a mental twilight, borderland in
which it is impossible to say whether
the patient is mentally i'll or not. 1t Is
always we'll for man who undergoes
such changes mentally to consult his
doctor. and it is always we'll for the
doctor not to make too light of such a
change because treatment is usually
far more effectual in that borderland
stage than it is when the symptoms
have been fully developed. The best
test of mental health is when a man
feels a conscious sense of organic we'll
being, although many persons go
through life with more or less of a
sense of i'll being all the time and arr
not on that account to be regarded as
insane.

of Dundee died. 1t seems that the
provost had been fine man His four
deputies mourned him greatly. and
after the funeral they all got together

1T was hard matter to decide just
how four men could write an epitaph,
but it was finally settled by the agree

verse Of four lines. each man to write
line. And so they started The first
man wrote his line. The second man
scratched his head and then added his
line to the first. The third man thought
long. but finally got his inspiration and
put down his line. Then the fourth,
after much deliberation. made the final

SchiIIinq to Quit Saddle.

Carroll Schilling, believed by many
horsemen to be the best jockey this or
any other country ever produced. will
not go to France to ride the horses of
Charles Kohler as reported. but will
remain here and ride the horses be-
longing to II. G. Hallenbeck. which
are trained by Frank Taylor.
Schilling came to this conclusion re-
Gently on the advice of his father-in-
law, who has persuaded him to give
up the saddle after this year.and en-
ter the butcher business in Cleveland.
Early in the season it was believed
that Schilling would follow the horses
Of Charles Kohlerr to France, which
will be looked after by Sam Hildreth
and Willie Brennan, both American
trainers. Later developments and
home attachments induced the noted
jockey to plan otherwise, and he will
remain here and ride Worth, the ia
vorite for the Kentucky Derby.

CapabIanca Still After Chess Title.
Jose r. Capablanca, chess champion
of Cuba, after a stay of several months
in his own country, is back in the
United States.
The chess championship situation is
still muddled. AS all the world knows,
DR.. Lasker summarily broke off nego-
tiations with the Cuban on the plea
that the latter had attacked his pro-
fessional honor by using the word ''un
fair in one of his letters dealing with
the unusual terms laid down by the
champion.
Lasker suggested that Capablanca
could have recourse in a protest to
Waiter Penn Shipley. president of the
Franklin Chess club of Philadelphia.
This was duly attended to by F. D..
Rosebault, the Cuban's personal rep
resentative in New York. Now along
comes Dr. I4asker with the assertion
that, inasmuch as Capablanca has not
acted on his suggestion. he will take
on Rubinstein.
