csfisus Case Of an ignorant Girl Who
Could Recite Latin.

csrisus Case Of an ignorant Girl Who
coNld Reeite Latin.
The psychologists have given
much study to the vasaries Of mem
DRY, which are among the most in
teresting of mysteries. Why do We
forget certain things and remember
others? This question, together
with many others of q like nature,
seems as yet to be unanswered. r.
William James in the course of a
paper on the subject says something
which we have tried in vain to re-
call will afterward, when we have
given over the attempt, "saunter
into the mind" as innocently as if
it had never been summoned.
Then, too, curiously enough, by
gone experiences will revive after
years of oblivion, often as the result
Of some cerebral disease or acct
dent.
Such q case was that Of Tia young
woman in Germany. who soan nss-
ther read nor write, but who vas
held to be possessed Of devil, sincs,
in fever, she was heard raying
in Latin, Greek, and Ia an Obscure
rabbinical dialect Of Hebrew. Pages
and pages Of her talk were written
down, and they were found 10 CON
sist of sentences intslligiSls in
themselves, but not having the
slightest connection with enc an
other.
Finally the mystery was cleared
up by a physician, who traced the
gTPs history to the age of nine.
Then, he learned, she had been tax
en- to the house OF an old pastor, a
great Hebrew scholar. She Esmain-
ed in this house until the pastors
death. It had been for years the
old scholars custom to walk up and
down a passage near the kitchen
and read to himself in a loud voice.
His books were examined, and
among them many of the passages
taken down at the girls bedside
were identified. The theory of
danoniacal possession was of course
then abandoned.-W Washington Star.

Elk Mills comes to Newark for
the first game on Saturday.
The action to be taken by Presi-

ed here with much interest.
1t would probably be best for
Manager Lewis of Parkside to
curb some of his players with

liable to get hurt.
1t would be hard for anyone to
convince Newark fans that Park
side are good sports after Satur-
days game.

with Parkside on Saturday.
Jimmy Huston is catching fine
game for "Eph" Jolls, Traction Co.
club. Lind and Doherty, two
other Delaware College boys, also
played with Traction Co. against
Elk Mills on Saturday.
In Hoffecker and Spence Elk

Elkton fans are much pleased

Hogan's strike out record of ID
men the first seven innings and

Value of Such Action.

The sponsors Of the suggestion de-
clare that Wilson might put an air
tight embargo on the expectation Of
foodstuffs to both the allies and the
Germans, unless all involved agree to
Americas demands. The president
has been urged by many to take such
action regardless of the war zone so it
could be supplied with that pretext
without the country being drawn into
the European conflict. II is believed
that Germany and England would
hastily grant the American demands
If such action was taken.
Some officials see hope, however,
that the demands will be granted
without taking drastic action.

Waiting for Troops to Grow.

When the Indian troubles occur
red down in the Shiprock vicinity a
little over year ago, the warriors
were told by a government agent that
if they did not cease creating dis
turbance, the United States soldiers
would be called out. Immediately
one of the leaders of the Indians re-
piled, "There be no soldiers. Soldiers
all killed off in battles. You have
