OUlPS AND OUIDDITIES.

King Nomolos was the wisest of kings who
have ever reigned and every Tuesday from 10
g.: 80 of the evening he would distribute wisdom
to the most foolish of his subjects.
One day there came to his court very
foolish man. He had ten women running after
him, all demanding that he should marry them,
and it was not law in the country that he
should take unto himself more than one wife
and the foolish fellow dare not face the wrath
of nine even to gain the favor of one.
He was not dreadfuly keen on marrying even
one
And he appealed to his king for WISDOM and
the women stood by glowering.
"Let me think" said the king, removing his
crown and calling upon his two ScratcherS IN
chief to scratch his head for him.
And having thought for the space of three

"Let the ten women step forward and give
their ages"

TO CHECK INSANITY
Bv H. AddingtOn Bruce

by II. AuulllSl ION DluCE
W ECENTLY the body of a well-knOWn
X business man was found in the freight
~ yards of large city. Foul play was
suspected until his friends began to talk.
For some time, it appeared, they had
thought the dead man strangely nervous"
Some declared he had become "obsessed'
about political issue, to the extent of neg
lecting his business. He seemed to think
of little else. Certainly he spoke of little
else.
There were even those who said frankly
that he had acted like one mentally unba1-
anced. SO that it was regarded as pretty
definitely established that the unfortunate
man had wandered into the freight yards in
confused state. and had there been struck
by train.
Now, so far as the newspaper accounts
went to show, none Of those impressed by
his extreme nervousness had advised him to
consult a specialist in nervous and mental
disorders. Nor, seemingly, had it occurred
to the victim himself to do so.
He had simply let things drift from bad
to worse. AS is alas, common among the
mentally afflicted. Which accounts in no
small measure for the prevalence of incura-
BILE, or virtually incurable, insanity today
I quote from DR.. Walter E. Fernald, OF
Waverly, Mass, who has given much
thought to the problem of checking the oc-
currence of insanity:
at is a striking fact that the average
patient who is committed to a state hospita1
for the insane has not consulted a phys1-
clan for his mental malady until the phys1-
clan is called upon to sign the commitment
papers. In other words, the physician is sell
dom called upon to treat incipient stages OF
mental disease, although such diseases are
often amenable to treatment before they be-
come fully developed.
''The reasons for this delay are many
and complex. Personal and family pride is
largely responsible. Mental disease to many
people still cOnnotes personal and family in
feriority, perhaps persistence of the me-
diaeval idea of demoniac possession.
"a misinterpretation of the ideas of he
redity as applied to mental disease develops
a sort of fatalism and horror at the appear
ance of mental trouble, whereas an intimate
understanding of the exact family liability is
event.
Some forms of mental trouble may be
hereditary and other forms are never he
reditary. Even with hereditary tendencies
as a predisposing cause, definite exciting
cause must usually be added. Heredity, In
fact, tends more strongly toward health than
toward disease"
I commend this passage to all fearful as
to the state of their mind also to all having
relatives about whose mental condition they
re anxious.
Merely to brood over a real or fancied
condition of mental disease will not mend
matters. If mental disease actually be pres
emit delay will only make the outlook less
hopeful. The obvious course of wisdom is
to take counsel with some physician prompt
ly. And always preference should be given
to a physician known to be experienced in
the diagnosis and treatment of mental ills.

Finds Watch

A lost watch, after being missing nearly
nine years, has been found in the stock of
one of the local jewelers. at Washington
Ga. This is the Washington end of a rather
remarkable story of lost watch. In 1912
Fl. D. Moore, Of Charon, eleven miles south
of the city, lost a valuable watch, which
had been an heirloom in his family. On
May 3, 1912, he inserted an advertisement
in the Crawfordville paper offering a re-
ward Of $40 for its return.
But nothing was heard of the watch I'M
til several days ago, when, in the city on
business, he had occasion to be in one OF
the local jewelers. and recognized the watch
one of the statesmen then offering for
sale. He lay claims to the timepiece, and to
be sure he hunted up the files of the paper
Of that time and found that the watch was
the long lost one. 1t appears the local jowel-
ry store had purchased the watch in a trade
with a negro.
Mr.. Moore paid the reward offered in
1912, and not only received his watch but
a handsome chain and knife as well.
