Rev. Keicher gave a splendid talk
on the training of boys.
He spoke of the companions, which
should be collected most carefully.
He also believes that each boy
should have some task to perform
and should be kept busy. He urged
that the parents give their boys an
education, since there is no gift that
can compare with it and nothing
that can influence boys life as
much.

Believer in Eugenics.

Believers in the vital Importance to
the race of more careful mating of
the sexes argue that not more than
1 per cent. of the men of any genera
ton can be called distinguished or
especially gifted. They say that of
this little minority Of one in every
hundred at least half are the children
of parents one or both of whom have
unquestionable eminence in some field
or endeavor, or are otherwise lifted
above the powers and gifts of average
men. That leaves half of the notably
endowed men of the world to spring
from the great mass of ordinary hu-
man beings. If these figures are cor
rect it follows that the children of dis
tinguished parents have about one
hundred times as good a chance of
winning fame or proving great powers
as the children of the commonplace
majority.

DENIED RELIEF OF WEEFinu
Peculiar Fact Concerning the Insane
Is That They Are Positively
Unable to Cry.

One of the most curious facts con-
nected with madness is the utter alb
sence Of tears amid the insane. What
ever the form of madness, tears are
conspicuous by their absence, as much
in the depression of melancholy, or ex-
citement of mania, as in the utter
apathy of dementia.
If a patient in a lunatic asylum be
discovered in tears, it will be found
that it is one beginning to recover, or
an emotional outbreak in an epileptic
who is scarcely truly insane, while
actual insane persons appear to have
lost the power of weeping; it is only
returning reason which can once more
unloose the fountain of their tears.
Even when a lunatic is telling one
in fervid> language how she has been
deprived of her children, or the out
RACES that have been perpetrated to
herself, her eye is never even moist.
The ready gush of tears which accom-
panies the plant of the sane woman
contrasts strangely with the dry-eyed
appeal of the talkative lunatic. 1t
would, indeed, seem that tears give
relief to feelings which, when pent
up, lead to madness. 1t is one Of the
privileges of reason to be able to
weep. Amid all the misery of the
insane they find no relief in tears.

Life Insurance Applicant Has Six
Gunshot Wounds-Once Noted as
Train Robber.

New York.-A modest little man
walked into the office of an examin-
ing physician for life insurance COM
pany and in a low, timid voice told
the doctor he was ready.
The doctor is also small of stature,
but wears large spectacles, and stern
ly looked at his caller as If to say:
Now. don't dodge any of these ques-
tions, young fellow Come right out
with the truth" He did.
Have you any wounds on your
body?" asked the M. D.
"Yes, sir; l have six"
What kind of wounds?"
"Gunshot wounds, sir" replied the
timid man, and the doctors eyes grew
larger. Sure enough, there they WERE

asked the NJ D.
"Only once. l think I'm over that
now"
Where did you contract that?"
I'm solitary confinement, sir after
being shot,
Would you mind telling me your
business?" asked the surprised doc
tor irrelevantly. ''This is rather
strange"
I'm a lawyer in Oklahoma City,"
was the reply. "And have been such
for ten years"
Just one more question" suggest
ed the doctor, who was beginning to
wonder at his patients extreme tim
idity. "How did you get those
wounds?"
'Robbing trains, sir. Is that all you
wish?" And he bowed himself out,
leaving the M. d. with mouth agape.
The doctor then looked at the name
on the application. and it was "Al
Jennings"
Jennings at one time was one of
the most daring train hold-up men in
the world, and, upon being pardoned,
became one of the best lawyers in
Oklahoma.

MAN GETS HOMESTEAD CLAIM
Sacramento Cuts Away From Its
Banks and Makes Many Acres
of New Land.

Hamilton City, Cal.-Taking advan-
tage of the freaks of the Sacramento
river in making land along it's course,
John P. Ryan, a well-known young
civil engineer of Hamilton City, will
in a few years become possessor of
160 acres of the finest land in Cali
fornia, as he has filed a homestead
on $50 acres at Packer island, In the
river, short distance south of Butte
City.
The Mexican government made the
west bank of the Sacramento river
the eastern boundary of the Larkins
grant. At that time there was a chan
mel around Packer island which filled
up on the west side as the years went
by and the island became a part of
the Larkins grant. The land on the
opposite side of the river was sur
veyed and the island was not includ-
ed. The owners of the Larkins grant
claimed the island and their right was
not disputed.
AS Ryan has notified the other own
ers on the island, there are no more
lucky acres to be obtained by home
steading.
