This narrative WI related to a physician
br a man who hu occupied a prominent
position In diplomacy and on the bench and
had taken first rank In certain lines of scien
tific Inquiry The physician who has made
1 Mctfnded research Into the phenomena of
t dull personality characterizes It I n moat
remarkable case Its value to psychologist
I briM enhanced by the fact that It proceeds
from an authority thoroughly versed In the
uliiclr of mental processes
This In the tr of my Aunt Iouleo
a simple story
1 noor quite know whore Aunt Loufse
lx > onRed She was not my fathers sister
Ills Bister was Aunt Mary his only sister
a brilliant woman of the world oauutlo
mordant In the things she used to say t
her nephew when he was young t the day
her death a woman of the world
of dotb womn te a source
of Intellectual pleasure when I had grown
old enough t appreciate her wit
Xo Aunt Louise was surely not my
fathers sister Nor was she my mothers
dMor My mother neyer had a sister
Still It doe not matter very much t
determine to which stock of the family
to assign my Aunt Louise 1 never had
an Aunt Louise
Vet no child no boy no lad evor had n
dearer companion a wiser counsellor a
weeter and more sympathetic refuge
In the time of trouble than was my Aunt
lXNll59
Hick In the wonllesa childhood must be
hidden tho ncqulBltlon of my Aunt Louise
I vrlll not venture to explain I It would
poll the sweetness and the worth of tho
memory if I were to seek out sorneliypoth
MH to aunt for possession of this
dot companion this sige eoxnra4e
The first recollection of my Aunt Louise
to which I cnn assign a calendar date In
linked with an event which meant grief
t the battling nation a how t a child
the funeral of Abraham Lincoln Thin
was when I was I years and 6 months hi
April 186S I recall even now most vividly
that Aunt LouIse was present with me
at the City Hall
I fear me we sere sad Copperheads I
know that we did not countenance the war
I recall that onoo we had 1 mob of former
acquaintances about our house howling
I think our windows were broken But wo
were Dot through It all
My father did not go to the war I can
recall that much of the time ho was in
France Dainty hntypora of candy uS3d
to come to me from Par and I somehow
know that those sweet consignments meant
that father did not approve of tho war
and that wo did not at all approve of Undo
Abe In fact the first real sons I had learned
to sing was George B McClellan U tho
Man There may have bcsnTnora worin
I rather humor my present deducllvo powora
by arguing that one vcralclo Is not enough
for a wholo song but so far as I was con
cerned there was nothing but a monotonouH
Iteration of tho political crodo George B
McCIcllan Is the man
But with the assassination all this was
changed We mournpd with 1 people
unltsd In the sas > of los SDmsbody
gave me a penwiper a Star Spangled Ban
ner novnred with cpontl with chamois
leaves loosely tacked underneath I won
der why this was given tome I was too
young to b trusted with lak any writing
wMran on a sldte the pond squeaked
end set my feelings o edge I
My father took me to the City Hull when
the body lay lnstato 1 was tho same
City Hall I had always seen only now the
fence around the par was clea ths wares
or the ballad venders were not draped upon
Iu pickets There w r soldiers ro

those pieces for tm Now who woe Mr

in the window and father art In ono and I
Mt in the other where did Aunt Louise
who was certainly with us sit
Yet there she was for she It wes who I
told me something about the muslo that
flouted slowly up from the street she told I
no that music could make you feel Bad

in and sorrow do not delay with ono
firmer on the parlor organ In the twilight
I of a Sunday afternoon
The next datn r which I can assign my
Aunt Louise was In 1868 the year after
L 10 afr
We moved that year into a new house n
j very fine brownstone house The war was
I over people seemed tohave forgotten that
we were Copperheads wo wore wealthy
and could live In a better hdrnnnrt vtlrsn
a we moved intoour new house facing a park
Aunt Louise moved too
move
I had never spoken to my father or my j
mother about Aunt Louise I suppose It
wM In my mind that they knew all about
1 Aunt Louise over so much moro than I
I Why shouldnt she and my father lnow
nnc it wns my aunt my Aunt Louise
But the frt night In our new house 1
when my mother wont with mot mynow I
roomIt had a blue owp t and I knelt
down at the side of my bed t say my prayers
aloud I added And God bless Aunt Lull
ind make her happy in the now homo
I ttnsnt that the right thlnifito do
But mother pulled me up by one arm
Sho wanted t know why I told God to
hisse Aunt Louise when I hadnt
my Iu8 whtn hant any
bitch aunt I remember yet my wonder
ment I did have an unt Ioulw I
1 I 4PfI her over St > ijiuch hotter than I loved
my mother she never told me to dont er
to rim way and play and couldnt I see that
the wa busy she always played with md
I think that my mother must have taken
toe downstairs 1 my nightie for I remem
I
t
t
ber that aho n explaining to ray father
thaj I bad told God a story I bad told Him
about my Aunt Louise and that It wasnt
Aunt Mary that I refused to oak blowing I
for Aunt MJ
We woo Presbyterians and wo had
family worship and catoohlBlngs S my
father said something about dogs being
without and the lake of fire and brimstone
set apart for liars But I maintained
stoutly that I loved my Aunt Louise And that
they must know my Aunt Louise ever to
much better than I could since she was
grown up and so were they
Then my father B pinked mo and
when I left him smarting and wholly bewildered
wildered he recited I verse about weeping
and walling tuid gnashing of teeth But
when I had been put t b and the light
turned out and I could tab In peace without I
being a cry baby there was no longer any I
thing t cry about fo Aunt Ill came
and lat on the edge of my b and sh I
snickered a little and ehe recited a verse
herself 8 she must have been a Presby
terian too and it was Bleseed are thE that
mourn for they shall b uomfortcd
I didnt need t c any longer she com
forted mo and In her dear company I forgot
how unsettling It was t b apanked as a
little liar when I was telling the truth and
here was my Aunt Louise In the dark with
me making me laugh with a gayety that
always some t annoy my parents
I have been somewhat prolix In thee two
incidents of my soul life with Aunt Louise
for thl reason that they are the earliest In
connection with which outside ooourrenoea
conneton orno
of known date enable me to establish a
chronology They came respectively In
my sixth and seventh years But I must
have found my Aunt Louise long before
since at the earliest of these dates we were
on terms of the most perfect Intimacy
My Aunt Louise was always In my mind
I us a r dainty gentlewoman I can see
now that she was of the Dresden china type
somewhat Watteau and that 1 a little odU
for we Presbyterians drosse d rather soberly
in those days either because of our denom
ination or else because we like everybody
else had lost kin in the war >
My Aunt Louise was a junior of the
generation before me young enopgh to bo
gay with me old enough to bo a good
grownup The years have dealt with us
tale she Is that same period
IU equal tle I yet slmo pro
ahead of me In life now only S little older
in ofToBt yet atlll just approximating that
maturity In the next erafof life t which
I am advancing always a guide t whrwe
experience I may trust
She IH far too intimato and simple an
element of the life of my heart for mo
to subject her t rude analyato Hor
nttitudo toward me was always that of I
one who hid hit jUt passed through the
experiences which lay immediately before
me therefore a most capable guide
I recall thnt I was once borne In upon
I mo that Aunt Louise was not a good Chris
han I Lnow that namehow she agreed
with my wicked thought that the Schttn
j berg Cotta Family was n mOlt stupid
i book that Ministering Children wan tvi
i had that rnmit wm n wasfo of time
I and that the Life of Tnpt Hedloy Voan
I ho Christian Soldier wan maddening
I I rOll those immortal work on Sabbath
afUrnooim and wry brought up to think
i that I wns thus doing ole hing for my
1 1110 salvation but Aunt Louise was always
mocking me with 1 grin that I can bring
to lively recollection now
lvely reclocton
I Yot on wooUdnyM she read with me
Old Mortality and sometimes shOhopod
mo snoik away LHommo qui nit and I
I I cn sure that nhe taught mo French for
T sever learned I from NolH ot Chapiul nor
I yet from Mtro Michel
1 hala boX f water oolors and a sketch
block of Bristol board I am euro It must
I have been a Christmas If from some pn3
This won surely t box from Winsor t New
ton I know the smell of the miint colors
By much painful etbrt and not even
I now can I draw anything that may he rocog
nlrod without a JahelI oecutol a confec
tion cf the Bock of Ages surmounted by a
I caronctei cross twine with a winding
vine which may have been a beau but cer
t bore roses part crimson and part
I carmine lake nnd the thorns were burnt
umber with sienna for the high lights on
their curt I know this would secure me
I praise from my mothor for wo remained
Proibyterlans
I But my Aunt Louise laughed at me and
my work and told mo I wan a little prig and
a wicked humbug Still I showed the ro
llglous design to my mother and her com
pany and I was pate on tho bed and
corkorod up until I was made to recite
There Is a Better Land according Co I
Felicia Hemariss idea of the only possible
improvement on this dreary worldnot
there my child
But after all the praise and when I got
I hack to Aunt Louise she told me that I
was a ojnsaitad rascal and that I mIght
Justus well have been talking 8 much
Choctaw I wonder why Choctaw I have
learned a little of that tongue in tho Indian
Territory and It suggests nothing to mo
now does not elucidate
But to come back to the box of water
colors She suggested that I draw with
my colors the kind of picture that I really
liked I was a daub wild dashes of all
the most violent colors splashes of neutral
tints speckled In prominent spots blobs
of vermilion set on violet I remember
that she laughed Homorically over tho
effort and so did I In equal glee for wo
always had just tho same opinion of things
only she had them before I did she had
them moro completely
But eh told me that that was my true
painting not tho stupid Rock of Ages
which I had done domestic applause and
that some time I should find the great point
ing dono by some one who saw the things
I saw Long years afterward and far
away I did see the Fighting Temcralre
Aunt owl my constant companion
up r the year In which I buckled down to
tho hard grind of completing the work t
enable me r matriculate at my university
Attbnt time she seemed to reooRnlre that
I must tm unremittingly and that relaxa
tion would not be proper for one who WAS
mle with the ambition to make his college
llf a profit
But she h never been far away from
me although from that definite period
she has not come t join mo so spontane
ously Yet It h alwkys been within
my power to call my Aunt Louise to join
me in my work or In the somewhat drab
pleasures of I student1 She still knows
Just thnt little moro than I know which
makes her n sifo rulde 1 trw counsellor
Now In my grave maturity now when
the semicentennial Is on me my Aunt
Louise comes to me to guide and help deci
sion Out of tho unknown I met a soul
n spirit mingling with my own a mentality
unlx dlel perhaps never t b clothed
upon to my physical sight with restlturo
of flash
I know that I cnnnot err with this dear
culdo I trust It all to my Aunt Louise
She It Is who bids me mot tho soul that
waits my reception who tells me t step
soundly forward to shed this ray and now
thnt upon my thought tife and promise
that all will b of the beet not the let
of the masons why 1 can now ask I blessing
on mv Aunt Louise with no dread that I
ebnil Vx brwMwht tn punishment
Yet us I have alrc dr said my mother
had no sister nVr Aunt May was my fathers
only sit Therefore I can never have
han the sweet Aunt Louise who has been I
with me through a crowded lUG I never

I I LA8WWa ZEBRAb
Cowboy Wetlicd4 vt capturinK the VOBDSI
to Train TJjcm for Wok
The Government of East Africa Is much
pleased with the first ru tollt efforts
t train zebras t domestic service Ort
pains have been ten for two years with
the education of fire spans of those animals
and they have finally been brought t a
stateof perfect docility and are now mak
ing a good record In the draught service
I Is believed In East Africa that the
practicability of making the mbra do
the work of the horse and the ox has been
demonstrated I It were possible the
Government would rapidly push the work
of taming bland breaking them to
harness but unfortunately men who have
the peculiar talent and liking for this work
are few and BO Mbra taming goes on slowly
A man named Beer in the German
service Is a sort of genius in this line Ho
b own Ideas as to the beat way to make
a useful servant dr the zebra and the Qov
eminent lets him follow his bent
Besser does not agree with Mr von Schel
lendort the pioneer zebra tamer of the
colony that the bet way t catch them
Is to run the animals into a corral and keep
them prisoners gradually eliminating those
that are least promising Besser wantr
nothing to do with any of the animals
those be to tame and
excepting tho proposes t to ad
theo a the foals a few weeks old He
I Is catching them wit a lasso in Western
cowboy fashion and he f Use only men
In the big colony who Booms able t do it
It is not easy to do Bower has a tough
fleet horse that mrvedln cavalry during
the Boer war and has boon trained t gallop
at full speed over tho plain with the bridle
on his neck his direction guided by the
swarvlng of his masters body r the right
J or left This horse is tho zebra chaser
It is Bessora practice t get into the edge
of which herds of zebras are
0 some grove hr o zbr I
likely t approach while grating and from
this cover he suddenly rushes on horse
back The DeMiackittafrikanbrht Zeit sing
tilling tbo story says that the mothers
tlng stor sy tt to moton
will not abandon their foals but collecting
around them urge thorn on as rapidly a
possible and retreat with them i the centre
Now Beas rB troubles begin It is not
easy to lasso one of the young because they
much smaller than of the surround
A 8maUel any te sutund
tag animals and t aggravate the situation
tho lords of tho herd enraged by this
attack on Its weaker members and perhaps
emboldened by the sight of the big horse to
whom they may Impute the trouble without
observing the strange animal astride him
comeback to bite and kick the hom Ho
naturally responds In kind at come peril
to his rider who intent upon his game
was once unhoreed by this proceeding
Besser since that accident b been
ready to meet the emergency with d shot
or two from his revolver which scatters the
malt in wild flight Sometimes he falls
t capture a colt but he Is usually Bucoeeaful
and b now B line herdof young zebras
whose training begins from tie day of their
capture
He gays I doe not take very long to
win their entire confidence by r but kind
treatment and the task grew easier when
he was able t turn new animals among
those whom he had come to handle and
fondle as he might a dog He succeeds
evidently because he Is a born animal
trainer They learn to feed from his hand
or basket and as their training advances
he leads them by 1 halter bits them wtl
the around with hare on their backs
and finally given them little loads t pull
N no of his herd is yet large enough for
t al service f t
Besser is not only enthusiastic ovpr the
practicability ot making the zebra a work
animal but he is also sanguine that the
croslng of zebras and asses now in tbe ex
perimental stage will result in a work
animal whoso usefulness will not b con
fined to Africa

4 HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION
As aHMUlt of milch the fan Found 1m
rir IU a Umbrella
I want t put a hypothetical question t
you said tbe girl after the man bad picked
out the mot comfoitoblo chair in the room
and seated himself therein It Is as long
and complicated as Boraepf the questions
propounded by lawyers In criminal trials
Intricacies but I think youwill bo able to follow Its
Suppose you were a woman me for
satamplo and two other women visited you
the some evening They were strangers
and came and went separately
Suppose that after they bad gone you I
noticed a umbrella which had been left I
presumably by one of your callers Sup I
pose tbat the next morning Miss A tele
phoned you and asked I she bad left her I
umbrellant your house thatshe had left it
some place she couldnt just remember
where but she believed it was at your
house Was It
You caid it was and Miss A said she
would send a boy around to ge ° t I that she
had learned that she would have
hO just lere woul to
leave the city for quite a while and would
you kindly give tbe boy tbe umbrella
Suppose the boy came and you gave him
the umbrella and then a little later Miss B
came rushing in and asked for her umbrella
which she left at your house the night before
her umbrella mind you the very one you
had just sent t Miss A but which Miss B
could positively prove t IN her Youd
be In something of a plokle by that time
wouldnt you
I Well suppose that t clear tho matter
up you rushed around t Miss As hoping
to recover the umbrella but found that
both Miss A rnd the umbrella had already
gone Then you rushed around home again
and found Mica B pacing up and down
your room wondering what on earth she
should ever do Because It was beginning t
rain oats and dog and she had down of
places to go that day and would certainly i
get soaked to the skin and maybe catch
her death of cold because she had no um
brella because you had given hers away
to somebody who hadnt tho shadow of a
right to it Youd feel pretty desperate by
that time wouldnt you
Well that to relieve the situa
Wol suppose tt t rleve te etu
ton still further you offered to replace
Miss Be umbrellA The substitution wasnt
your own umbrella but one that another
friend had loft at your house a short while
before a most excellent umbrella best of
silk and beautiful handle much better
no doubt than the ono Miss B had lost
Would that b fair Would you have a
moral right to square yourself wit one
whose umbrella you had given
person whOe umbrll hd away
by giving her the umbrella that had been
loft at your house by somebody elser
Would It b fair exclaimed the man
certainly An umbrella Is
Why ortlLnly umbrUa I common
The courts liaVo decided
property Te curt 111 deded that
I a iran love an umbrella any place ho
has no right to expect to cee It again
Oh I em so gIadl murmured the girl
But what In the end of all this hypo
thetical Inquisition asked the man What
is It leading up tof
1 Oh nothing Bald the girl Lets talk
about something else
They did uli about something elite for
throe hours When the man started home
he said
Oh by the way whore is my umbrella
I left it here the other night didnt If
You did said the girl sweetly It was

next year but the course will probably
not be the circuit The exactions

of the canny Normans living along the
course proved to much for the A C F
ad no small amount of resentment was
shown in connection with one particular
pie of what was felt to b almost black
mail the demand made by the prefect of
the Seine InfArieuro the department in
which the circuit lies for no less than 731
free admission tickets
Visitors who hadto put up with the ex
actlons of tho Dieppe hotel keepers during
the meeting will all favor a change of scene
The hotel keepers refused to quote a price
beforehand for less than four days and
tho hotel where THE BON correspondent
stayed charged nine franca for Its tablo
dhote dinners a sum which would b Its
usual rate for a whole day even In the aea
Bon I had a special wine card printed
with special prices as a sample of how
prices grew 35 cents was charged for a
bottle of mineral water that ordinarily
costs 10 cents

Xast year although Dieppe then subscribed
J20000 the net profit was only 18000
while in 1003 when the Sartho circuit was
used there was a loss of 13000
u data exists for a calculation as t the
amount spent by automobile manufac
turers In competing in a race like the Grand
Prig Baron Ben de Knyff president
the sporting committee says I
J U almost Impossible t state even
within thousands of francs what a firm like
Panhard Levassor spends on a big race
Pabr IIeds
but roughly speaking I should place It at
teoOOO divided Into 100 spent on the
cars and 20 for testing 8pnt for tires
and general expenses
Our profit is represented by what we
learn the thousand details In manufacture
which we perfect as the result of a race and
by which alt our oars benefit For a firm
that turns out 1600 cars a year a race thus
increases the price of each oar by IO which
cannot be considered excessive
Baron de KnyfT refused t say what his
firm paid its drivers beyond stating that
any pd who got placed received a band
some bonus th mechanician was paid by
the driver receiving 10 per cent of what
th driver earned pr
The Flat ere Is understood pays its
drivers a fixed salary of UOOO a year and ft
bonus in proportion to the Importance of
any race they may t In the case of the
Grand Prix this bonus is ilDOOO
JIMKIWG DIAMONDS
How Nature Docs I and Why Alan Cannot
Do I
All experiments and they have been
many go to show if not to provt that dia
monds a formed by the slowcooling or
crystallization of liquefied carbon in an en
vironment of other fused material at In
tense heat urdel enormous pressure
To obtain any1 effective approach to the
heat of the Interior of the earth electric
furnaces have been invented which are
capable of producing a temperature of
SOO deg centigrade and vessels of
such strength have been marie as to stand
a pressure of fifty tons to the square Inch
To the nonscientific mind those figures
are practically Incomprehensible says the
iietn and the vastness of the first set
can only be dimly iimRlnod when one remembers
members that in tho centigrade register
the boiling point of water in represented
by 10 degrees
As to the second figure we can vaguely
Illustrate its meaning by comparing i with
the pressure produced in the underground
laboratories of nature which Is enough to
shake a continent while the mere oxcem
of the molten material which IK OH I were
boiling over is sufficient to devastate whoA
districts and bury entire cUlt
The third condition precedent to the
making of a diamond Is slowness of crystal
lization or In other words length of time
Sir William Crookes who hal mode dia
monds plunge his white hot crucible Into
cold water with the result that any crys
tals produced generally exploded a short
time after being liberated from their
matrix even If they did not do so before
If the scientist cannot wait long enough
for the cooling process tho rogue In a hurry
t be rich by deceivingpeople cannot afford
to wait Hence thee is no chance of a
swindler achieving any real success for he
could not nor t wait long enough for
the proper crystallization even If the other
Conditions were present
There are many teats for ascertaining
the genuineness of a diamond some simple
and some more difficult of carrying out
such as the use of the cathode rays under
the Influence of which paste does not glow
n do the real gems But nature herself
baa Imposed a condition and tOt which
none but the genuine stones can stand
Her test is simply that of time and th
proof of fraud which Is at once decisive
and penal to the artificially made diamond
I simply selfdestruction explodes and
dissolves Itself Into dust We have seen
that the gem Is produced tinder Immense
pressure but as th outside solidifies first
and carbon b the abnormal property of
extending Instead of contracting on solldi
Icatton there la generally a condition of
strain In th interior of the crystal which
sooner or later but usually very soon
causes the stone to explode
This indeed not Infrequently
Thl occurs Inde Inrruenty
In nature when the gems have crystallleexl
under relatively rapid cooling and the
diamond soon after its removal from the
enveloping matrix tbe socalled blue
ground explodes This Is doubtless the
01 with the great Culllnan diamond the
argent yet discovered measuring 4 by 2Vi
nnd 2 inches and weighing before cutting
nearly one and a half pounds
I was the half only of an enormous
octahedron which had probably split
owing to this Internal strain No one in
h senses would purchase A gem which
was liable t destroy itself at any moment
and no reputable firm would dream of sell
lag jewels whloh might explode even before
the customer got home
Chemically produced or scientific diamonds
month were first experimented for by J B
lunnay In or before 1680 and by Sydney
Mare In 1881 who produced black and
transparent diamonds but the first authors
io artificial preparation of this diamonds
I s due to the celebrated French chemist
itt Mon who followed Mr Marsdens
experiments in 18941906
The French savant however never
moceeded t obtaining transparent diamonds
mantle by his process at least the white
crystals yielded t reagents and were
probably only carborundum and not pure
sarbon These results although deeply
