ACCUSED RAVES
AT EXAMINATION
Kenosha Man Facing Muir
der Charge Bites
at Alienist.
WON'T SAY A WORD

Roy Bergstrom, former Kenosha
service man, awaiting trial at Lara
ME, Wyoming, for the murder of his
wife, Grace Macarthur Bergstron. was
examined on Tuesday afternoon by DR..
Edward Delahanty Of Denver, Colo,
one Of the most famous alienists in
the western part of the United States
and after an examination continuing
for several hours the physician de-
clared that he was unable to pass fin
al judgment as to the mental condi-
tion of Bergstrom. The examination
of Bergstrom was ordered by his own
attorneys with view of having DR..
Delahanty ready to testify as an ex-
pert when the case is called for trial
on September 7th. Mrs. Carrie Berg
strom of Kenosha, mother of the ac-
cused man was present during a part
of the examination, according to dis
patches received from Laramie on
Tuesday evening. The attorneys rep

It was said that after the examination
Bergstrom appeared to be morose and
refused to talk with anyone. Jail at
PENDANTS recently have declared that
they believed Bergstrom was perfect
ly sane.
1t is understood that Prosecuting
Attorney Patterson will fight any eff
fort to show that Bergstrom was in
sane at the time he shot his wife or
hat he is insane at the present time,
1t is known that the state has employ
ed alienists who have been watching
Bergstrom for some time and that
these men will be ready to testify
early in the trial. The issue as to the
sanity of Bergstrom may be denied by
the court before the main issue is sub
mitted to the court.

clan had left the accused man said,
Nothing come of the examination"
Old Mania is Present Again.
Bergstrom when approached by the
alienist refused to say a word in re-
gard to his past life. Dr. Delahanty
sought to get some history of the
case on which to base an opinion as
to the mental condition of Bergstrom
and opened the examination with
some questions in regard to the life
of the defendant. "You were in the
service wern't you Roy?" the physi-
clan said to him kindly. "You served
in France and were wounded" he con-
tinued.
Bergstrom glared at the physician
like a frightened wolf and proceeded to
seek to attack him. He fought with
the physician and attempted to bite
him. The actions are similar to those
attributed to Bergstrom some time af-
ter his arrest. For several days he
barked like dog and showed will
ingness to attack anyone who came
into the Jail near him. After an
hours attempt to make an examlna-
ton Bergstrom was returned to his
cell and the physician left the jail.
Mother Much Distressed.
It was declared in the messages
from Laramie that Mrs. Bergstrom was
greatly distressed at the appearance of
her son and his action when called
before The physician for examination.
Attorney R. V. Baker of this city who
is to aid in the defense Of Bergstrom
had not been informed of the exam

YULETIDE THORN TREE SAVED
Blooming Glastonbury, Subject of Beautiful Legends of Christmas,
 Was Doomed to Destruction.

ANE of the most beautiful legends O of Christmas is that of the Glas- tonbury thorn. The thorn tree grew at Glastonbury Abbey, in Somerset shire, and was supposed to have de yeloped from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea. According to the legend, Joseph came to Glastonbury and while he was resting on a hill, afterward known as Weary All hill, he stuck his staff in the earth. The staff immedi- ately grew green and budded, and at Christmas time it blossomed into beautiful flowers.
 One chronicler states that during Queen Elizabeth's reign the thorn had double trunk, but that a somewhat bigoted Puritan, who disiiked the tree because to his mind it smacked of popery, started to cut it down, and succeeded in demolishing one of the trunks. A miracle rescued the re- maining trunk of the tree by causing chip of wood to fly up and hit the Puritan In the eye, while at the same time he slipped and cut his leg. Later the tree was grubbed up, but a number of smaller trees raised from slips of the original are said to be owned by persons in the neighbor- hood.

An Ancient Christmas Dish.

An indispensable Christmas dish of ancient times was 'frumenty" or 'frumante." Here is the recipe for making the dish according to a faith full old chr0nicler: "Take clean wheat and bray it in a mortar until the hullS he all gone off. and seethe 1t until it burst, and take it up and let it cool i; and take clean, fresh broth and sweet milk of almonds or sweet milk of kline and temper it all: and take the yolks of eggs. Boil it little and set it down and mess it forth with fat veni- son or fresh mutton" Frumenty was often served alone without venisOn or mutton. When served by itself it was we'll sweetened.

CHRISTMAS WEEK IN ENGLAND
Time When Scattered Families Are United and Tender Memories
 Are Revived.

MANY and great are the changes WI which have occurred in England since Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol" but they have not affected the national love for the festival and the determination to preserve unimpaired the traditional warmth and heartiness of it's celebration. Christmas week is still the great week of the year for the English people. It is the one week when scattered families are reunited, when tender memories and old asso- ciatiOns are revived, when friend greets friend with cheery responsiveness in striking contrast with the character istic reserve of the English nature, so, undemonstrative to those who do not know it well. apparently so dis tant and unsympathetic.
 From Wednesday all business will be suspended, not to be resumed till Monday morning. The whole nation will give itself up to good cheer and good fellowship, and for brief season, all strife and controversy are hushed, and peace, charity and concord reign supreme.

THE VOICE THAT CHARMS.
Don't think that in these days of
the telephone we have discovered
the rare power. that lies in a mag
netic voice. The fact is that from
the earliest times it is clear tha,
men and women have been able to
exert as much fascination and as
wide influence. through the voice as
through beauty OF face. And wom-
en- have gone to great pains to cul-
tivats beauty OF voice even in re-
mote days. In ancient Rome they
say women Of wealth used to feed
on nightingales' tongues In the
hope that. they would speak with
the silvery tones of that greatest
OF plumed songsters.
The fact that women from south
ern climes usually have softer. mel
lower voices than women Of the
been observed and In French liter
ature you find repeated, illusions
from early times to the melodious
voices Of Spanish and Italian wom-
en-, while English women are looN-
ed upon tco often as having voices
that are metallic and hard. Strange
ly enough. the Irish. although they
are farth er north than the English,
are the exception TO the rule tina,
harsher voices are found among
northerners. In our own country
almost every one comedies that men
and women who are raised south of
the Mason and Dixon line have the
most musical voices, ana among the
negro race Especially fine voices
seem to prevail.
From the earliest times a musical
and charming voice has been re-
garded as a necessary attribute to
perfectly lovely woman. Mary
Queen of Scots, noted for her beau
ty, had an, exceptionally lovely
voice. Her Scotch courtiers, once
hearing her speak, said: "vox
Dianae-was there ever orator
spake so properly or so sweetly %
They knew. as we may have forgot
ten. that Diana, the virgin huntress
OF ancient mythology, was noted,
too. for her dulcet voice.
Russian historians always take
| time In recounting the events Of the
reign of Alexander /. to tell us of
the extraordinary beauty of the
Cars voice. The countess de
Choisseul-G said: I'm his
| voice and manner there were inf
mite variations" The Baroness de
Bode said of him: His words and
manners reflect the goodness of his
heart. his desire to be loved by
others, and true love Of human
ity." ....f
With him it was, perhaps, as it Is
so often with. persons whose voices
are esteemed especially beautiful,
the courteousness Of his manner as
much as hisFTocal organ that made
his voice seem SO charming to his
subjects, for, the Countess of Eose,
mistress Of the household of Queer

law. said: He is particularly cour-
iteous and pleasant"
