been any trouble since"

fused in a conference with real es-

ficiencies of $96474 for the year 1884

u II UGH as we dislike to shatter
M ruthlessly those childish il
wv lusions which make life en-
1 4 durable in this vale of tears,
the mounting accumulation of scen-
tific evidence forces US TO conclude
that brains are a decided handicap
in life and that the best course for
any bright young fellow who aspires
to be rich and famous is to have them
cut out.
Long ago some cynical and hungry
scientist suggested that the human
brain was a slowly augmenting can
cerous growth-but that was only one
mans opinion without any objective
evidence to support it.
But-three years ago in Kentucky
the obscure wife of a coal miner
had both her frontal lobes removed
because OF a tumoF Before the op-
GRAFTON nobody ever heard OF her. To-
day she is county chairman OF one
OF the political parties and q per-

ence.

the fellow who failed in business,
had chunk Of brain removed, and
within few months became wealthy.
He was a bright fellow before the
operation. Afterwards, psychological
tests showed. he wasn't so bright.

suspected something Of the sort.
