WAR TRAGEDIES
Insanity, Murder and Suicide Traced
to the European War.

Deadwood, Nov. 4.-For the sec
ond time in a month, the foreign
wal has been the indirect cause of
another fatal tragedy to Lead Bel
gians. A month ago David Vianne,
a Belgian of Lead, shot and killed his
wife and himself in a temporary fiji
of insanity brought On by brooding
over the war. Now Joseph Terrier,
a native of the same county, who has
also been brooding over the misfor-
tunes of his countrymen, lies dead
here, the direct cause being brain
and heart trouble. Terrier, who was
a friend of Vianne, has been morose
for some time and this week his wife
asked the officials to take him to jail
pending an examination as to his
mental condition. This was done and
Terrier had hardly been i~ncarcerated
before he dropped dead. Coroner
Ballou performed an autopsy and
found a brain cavity and an enlarged
heart. Terrier leaves a wife and sew
eral children in Lead and was As
years old.

An Elephant Bridge.

In ancient times in India a famous
general used elephants to bridge a
stream. He possessed a battalion Of
over 500 elephants, and, approaching a
river where the stream vas too rapid
for his troops to cross. he ordered the
elephants in and had them placed side
by side. facing up and down the
stream. Then planks were brought
and laid from the back of one elephant
to that of another. and over them the
troops passed in safety, the only trou-
BILE experienced being the showers Of
water which the elephants kept mp by
sucking up the refreshing liquid in
their trunks and tossing it over their
bodies.

Fear of Ridicule Makes
Children Wrap Souls
in Secretiveness.

| have known a mother to re-
peat the shy love story that her
little daughter had told her. and
to subject her first romance to
vulgar criticism. I have heard
whole families. grandmothers, and
aunts. and cousins, regaled on the
story of some foolish little act a
girl had done, and which she had
told to her mother, because she
was uneasy in her conscience
about It, and felt the need Of ad-
vice, but which she didn't want
exploited abroad. and brayed to
the world.
The result of all of this is that
the parents simply seal their
children's lips. They blight con-
fdence in the bud. Experience
has taught the young ones that
their elders are not to be trusted,
that they will make their sacred
heart secrets the subject of a
Joke. or else publish them to the
world. That is why the average
girl and boy confide in strangers
instead of their parents.
Parents also make their chill
dren liars by Furnishing them If
they tell the truth. They put a
reward upon mendacity by max
ing veracity painful. When john
ME knocks over the jam jar in
trying to get to 1T, mother asks
him who did it. If Johnnie says,
u did," mother spanks him for it.
one or two experiences of this
nature teach Johnnie the wisdom
and prudence of saying that as he
was passing through the pantry
he saw the cat do it.
To penalize the truth with chill
dren is to drive them into false
hood. and yet in all my acquain-
tance l know but one mother and
