Hi Fancy
Case of Criminal Who
Thought Himself "Bleed

Other Tales of Disease and
Heath "Due to Effect of

Fatal "Bath.
A remarkable ease of death caused
by imagination was recorded the other
day, says a London correspondent. A
young girl, depressed through ill health,
drunk what she supposed was a bottle
of carbolic acid and begged to be taken
to a doctor. Despite all medical efforts,
I however, she sank rapidly and died. A
postmortem examination showed no
trace of poison, and the bottle of car
bolic acid was found untouched, while
the bottle from which she had drunk

the contents was proved to have con
tained only a perfectly harmless mix
ture. "Fancy can kill and fancy can cure,"
is quoted far and wide wherever the
English language is spoken. "Fancy
can kill!" More than that, it has killed
strong, healthy men, and where it has
not killed them it has given them dis
ease of au unmistakable kind or has
produced effects through the action of
drugs exactly opposite to those which
the drugs ordinarily induce.
How '"fancy" can kill, how it actual
ly destroyed life, was demonstrated by
the physicians of Montpellier at the
time when they were in the habit of
having delivered to them every year
two criminals whom they vivisected in
accordance with the custom which had
been handed down to them from Rome.
One day they determined to see what
effect the mere expectation of death
would have on a man who was perfect
ly healthy. .
They therefore took such a subject
and told him that they would kill him
in the easiest way by opening his veins
in warm water. They got a bath of
warm water, into which they put bis
fee.t. Xext they blindfolded him and
pricked his feet with the point of a
lancet, but without drawing blood.
Then they began talking to each other
as if the man was bleeding to death.
In a little while they removed the
bandage from his eyes. The man was
dead, killed by fancying that he was
bleeding to death.
Only a year ago there was a young
artillery recruit at Douai who was a
perfectly healthy man. but who labor
ed under the belief that if he had a
bath he would die. His comrades
laughed at him, and to demonstrate
how absurd was his belief they strip
ped his clothes off and put him into the
bath. When they took him out of the
water he was dead. It might he urged
that he was suffering from some or
ganic disease, and the shock of the wa
ter killed him. A postmortem exami
nation was. however, held, and no dis
ease was discovered.
In a certain prison there was a case
of smallpox. The fact was known, as
in some inscrutable way which the au
thorities would probably find it diffi
cult to explain such facts always do
get known, to the prisoners. One
of them, a perfectly strong, sound,
healthy man, showing no symptoms of
weakness, was moved into a cell in
which he was told a prisoner suffering
from smallpox had died. The state
ment was inaccurate, for there had
never been a smallpox case1 in that
cell at all. In a day or two the man
complained of being ill. In a few days
more he exhibited every symptom of
smallpox. As a matter of fact, he had
smallpox and died from it.
In striking contrast with his case
was that of another prisoner. He was
put into the cell in which the original
smallpox patient had died. He was
assured that no one had died there or
had ever had the disease in it. Al
though the room must have been
swarming-with the germs thrown off
by the man who had died there only
a shoit time before, the second prison
ed did not get smallpox.

A Christmas
Deception
By LLOYD OSBOURNE
Copyright, 1903, by Lloyd Osbonnte
THE sea fog rolled in through the
Golden Gate, and with its com
ing the short lived dusk of
Christmas day melted into the
chill blackness of Christmas night
a raw, muddy, piercing night; a
coughing, nose blowing, buttoned up
night, when it was good to roast
before a fire and share something
hot with a friend; to muse in the
sad, kindly fashion we all must, if we
be old enough and fortunate enough to
have shared the common lot on the
Christmases of long ago and the old
faces now gone forever. All San Fran
cisco was making ready for its Christ
mas dinner, and countless happy chil
dren were watching the slow clock
hands as they solemnly toiled toward
the hour for turkey and mince pie. In
the lowest dives, in the squalidest al
leys, in the poorhouse, in the city lock
ups, even across the bay in grim San
Quentin itself, in every nook and cran
ny of the great and tumbled city, the
sound of mirth and the steam of Christ
mas dinner rose in the foggy air.
Thanks to its generous citizens, to its
innumerable charities, to the Salvation
Army and the newspapers that took up
the cause of the poor children, few In
deed would go hungry to bed that
night.
But there were two at least two so
proud, so backward, so shrinking from
the very notion of charity, that none
had called them to the feast, not even
those red coated fighters for God to
whom there is little hid in San Fran
cisco. A pinched, hollow cheeked pair
on the city front shivered miserably
on the brink of the dock, perhaps on
the brink of another world, listening
with dreadful intentness and minds
half made up to the ebbing black wa
ter below. The dismal light showed to
each that he was not alone and that
his companion was regarding him with
suspicious, furtive glances. At last one
of them spoke, a tall, thin man in rag
ged working clothes worn to the last
thread, his neck tied up in an old hand
kerchief. "Say," he said, edging up to the other
with a menacing air, "I guess you've
no call to stay here, my boy. Why
don't you make- tracks, why don't
you go and gobble turkey like a re
spectable citizen instead of loafing
around here to the annoyance of the
poor and lowly? Mayn't a miserable,
starving devil have as much as the
pleasure of his own company Christ
mas night? I pre-empted this place,"
he continued, pressing up a little
closer, "and I'll just trouble you to
move off of it."
The other drew back, a shrunken,
spectacled creature in the battered
black of a bookkeeper or a merchant's
clerk in distress.
"Go away," he said, with a mirthless
laugh. "Yes, I shall go away. I shall
not trouble you for long. I am sure I
beg a thousand pardons if I have caus
ed you inconvenience, but the fact Is I
should have already done it if I hadn't
taken you for a night watchman."
And he made a gesture toward the wa
ter. "Great Scott!" cried the other. "Was
you a-going to do that? Why, look
a-here! That's my road, too, mister,
and I took it that you were standing
me off."
"We will go together," said the man
in spectacles, peering over the dock and
hearkening to the dull ripple of the wa-
"WHEN WE GO WE SHALL GO TOGETHER.
ter below. "It's a hard lot to die hun
gry, let alone it being Christmas night,
of all days in the year. Wish I could
see the water, though. I might smash
myself on a boat or a floating log."
"There's the steps, to be sure," said
the tall man. "But it ain't in human
nature to walk off the steps. Something
inside of you keeps saying, 'Look out,
old man, or you'll fall in and be
drownded.' Anyway, a man ain't him
self when his stomach's gnawing at
him. Say," he went on, "it does me
good to find another feller in the same
fix. Gee, so it was only poor ole Joe
Keyser that's me, mister that was
keeping you out of the bay. And all
the blame while you was a-keeping me
out."
"I didn't know there was anybody in
San Francisco as miserable or dead
beat as I," said the man in spectacles,

"Were you interested in what your
teacher told you?' asked her mother.
"Oh. ves," replied the young scholar
"Teacher gave us some nice proverbs
to learn."
"What were they? Can you remem
ber any?"
Jennie thought a moment. "I'm
afraid I can only remember one," she
said finally.
"And what was that?"

"But the bay is big enough for two,
friend Joe. Many's the honest heart
and kind that's gone the road ,-e're to
follow, and none ever complained that
I heard of. Be a man, Joe. Grip hands
and let us drop together."
Joe shrank from the edge a little
quickly for a man on the point of sui
cide. "See here," he said. "I don't
know that I feel so keen about it as I
did just now. The bay's always here,
I guess."
"I suppose you're like me," said the
man in spectacles. "Not a red cent in
the w;orld."
"Three days ago I blew in my last
nickel," said Joe; "the very last nickel
I'm ever likely to touch. You see, I
never had no chances when I was a
kid. I was raised in the silly, old fash
ioned way taught to be honest and
tell the truth and not to cinch the wid
ow and orphan. Say, old feller, for
men in our fix it's the bay or San Quen
tin, and I guess we've made the right
choice."
"And I," said his companion "I could
kill a man for a loaf of bread. I could
fight a dog for the dirty crust of one.
I thought tonight of taking a paving
stone and holding up the beanery over
there. Yet I'm so weak and trembling
that a girl could knock me over. Good
by, Joe," he added swiftly. "You're a
fool to stay. I'm off."
Joe seized the slight figure in his
powerful grasp. "Xo, no!" he cried.
"When we go we shall go together."
The man struggled for a moment and
then fell to crying on Joe's shoulder
like a child. .
"Brace up, ole man," said Joe, chaf
ing the icy hands. "We will come out
all right. It's Christmas night, and
somewhere or other I'll bet there's a
spread even for the likes of us."
His companion slowly began to come
round. He shook himself free from
Joe and stood up.
"Have you any bounce left in you?"
asked Joe. "Would you go to a turkey
dinner if I got you an invite?"
"What do you mean?"
"I will a tale unfold," said Joe. "I
was walking down Market behind some
folks, and somehow, I hardly know
how, I got listening to what they were
talking of. Says one: 'Sad about Mrs.
Gleeson, ain't it? Never heard from
her son Irving in Alaskar, not for two
years.' 'It's her only son,' says the
other. 'Harry got killed in New Mex
ico. Where's the ole lady living now?'
says one. 'Oh, she's at 2719 Banning,'
says the other. No. 2719 was the num
ber of my girl's home east, and it stuck
to me. Now, see here, partner, have
you the gall to come with me and fetch
the ole woman some news from Alas
kar? I saw on the bulletin that the
Portland was expected every minute
from St. Michael's. What say?"
"Leave me alone," said the other.
"Can't you see I'm done and only want
to die?"
"Never say die!" cried Joe. "Brace
up. -ole man, for we're going to tramp
from Klondike to 2719 Banning street,
and as for this pocketful of rocks,
which I guessed would help me drown,
I'll just leave 'em as a pleasant sur
prise for the harbor commissioners."
And with that Joe unloaded his pock
ets of road metal and passed his arm
through that of Lis unresisting com
panion. "What's your name, partner?" asked
Joe.
The other hesitated. "There's no rea
son why I should be ashamed to tell
you," he said at last. "It's Sampson
Lyle."
"All right, Sampson," said Joe. "Just
keep your mind on that dinner, for, by
gum, we'r going to have it!"
Weak and famished as they were, it
was slow work to straggle all the way
to Banning street, and Sampson Lyle
gave out repeatedly. Again and again
he rested on some dark doorstep, while
Joe stood over him and heartened him
to fresh exertions. At last they began
to draw near the block for which they
were searching, a long row of cheap
one story frame houses facing a stone
yard full of unlettered tombstones.
Joe stepped up to 2719 and knocked
loudly at the door.
It was opened by an old woman with
a lamp in her hand who barred the
door aggressively with her bent and
slender figure. She studied the pair
with prim disfavor. "What do you
want?" she asked sharply.
For one instant Joe was taken aback.
He said not a word. The woman low
ered the lamp and made a motion as
though to slam the door in their faces.
"Hold on!" cried Joe. "Ain't you
Mrs. Gleeson? Ain't you Irving's
maw?"
The old woman turned white as a
sheet, and the lamp began to shake in
her withered hands.
"The Portland's just in," went on
Joe. "Irving said we were to scoot for
you first thing."
The old woman seized Joe by the
arm. "Take the lamp; take it before it
drops! Oh, my boy, my boy!" she
gasped, staring into the darkness.
"That's Sampson Lyle," said Joe.
"Oh, come in, come in, both of you!"
cried the old woman, recovering her
self a little, her sallow face flushing
and paling. "Oh, what a Christmas
night for me, my poor, wet boys!
Still holding Joe's arm as though she
could not bear to let him go, Mrs. Glee
son led him and poor, shabby Samp
son into the warm, well lit parlor. It
was a bare little room, sparsely fur
nished and betraying in half a hundred
ways the pinch of decent poverty. But
to our brace of heroes it was a palace
indeed, new come as they were from
the wintry street and a fog no icier
than their own frozen hearts. Their
wolfish eyes could take In nothing but
the table ready spread for dinner, the
turkey so brown and fat, showing the
black stitching that kept in the stuff
ing; the cranberry sauce crimson and
alluring, like a woman's lips, and the
batch of fragrant mince pies.

line burst in from the kitchen and met
the strangers with an excited stare. -
"Oh, Maisie," cried the old woman,
we've heard from him at last! These
are your father's friends from Klon
dike, who have just arrived on the
Portland."-
Joe flashed a glance at the chilling
dinner. "Oh, ma'am," he cried, "we're
famishing! You don't know how they
starved us on that steamer."
"Oh, you poor boys!" exclaimed the
old woman. "Maisie, get more plates."
"I can't tell you what this means to
us, ma'am," said Joe as he drew up his
hair and eyed the viands.
"Maisie," said the old woman as she
sliced at the turkey, "get the demijohn
of claret, and the half box of cigars
that your father forgot. I tell you, Mr.
Joe, many's the time I've cried over
that box of cigars. Land's sake, sir,
what ails your friend?"
Joe looked up. Sampson thin, over
wrought, shaking Sampson had laid
his face in both his hands and with a
heaving breast was crying like a child.
Of a sudden he "rose to his feet and
stood unsteadily, grasping the back of
the chair-in his thin, sinewy hands.
"Madam," he said, "we cannot eat
your dinner; the food chokes in my
throat. Madam, we are impostors,
cheats, the cruelest of liars. We never
saw Alaskar in our lives, nor your son.
We are two starving men who meant
to end our lives tonight In the bay. If
"it's papa, it's papa!"
you could spare us so much as a loaf
of bread we will go away and trouble
you no more."
The old woman sat stunned and
speechless, wildly looking up at him
and from him to Joe.
Joe shuffled to his feet. "It's my do
ing, every bit!" he cried out. "I feel
ashamed to live. You may bet your
sweet life on that, ma'am."
Sampson Lyle made toward the door,
his friend mournfully following behind,
drooping, limp and dejected, like a
beaten dog.
The child watched them go with
fierce pity. "Oh, grandma," she cried,
running to the old woman in a whirl of
childish sorrow and commiseration,
"call them back, grandma! Please,
grandma! Oh, remember God, grand
ma, and what St. Christopher did when
poor Christ came."
'Call them back, my darling," whis
pered the old woman.
But as the little girl impetuously
dragged them back to the table, forc
ing them to sit down again before their
tmtasted food, there came a tremea-
dous rat-a-tat-tat on the front door, fol
lowed by a succession of smashing
blows.
'It's very sad to live in a tough neigh
borhood," said Maisie, laying down her
knife and fork. "Some of the people
on this street are very hard crackers."
"I guess I'll tackle that hard cracker
myself," said Joe, Jumping to his feet
with a fighting light in his eye. As he
threw open the door he was confronted
by a big, hearty looking man in a fur
overcoat with a heavy gripsack in one
hand and a cane in the other.
"Does Mrs. Gleeson live here?" asked
the stranger civilly.
Joe was beginning to say something
about punching his ugly head off when
little Maisie slipped past his legs and
threw herself into the man's arms.
"It's papa! It's papa!" she cried.
"Don't hit him, Mr. Joe! It's papa
home from Klondike!"
Joe covered his embarrassment by
taking the Klondiker's grip and follow
ing him into the parlor just in time to
see the meeting between mother and
son. Sampson Lyle was still sitting In
his chair, not a little dazed at the turn
of events.
"I've just come down in the Port
land," said Irving, ridding himself of
his fur coat. "And, mother, I've come
back with a pile. Perhaps it ain't the
biggest on El Dorado, but it's big
enough to fix us for life. My two part
ners are taking out $200 a day. And
as for you, my sweet darling," he said,
turuing to Maisie, "there's nothing In
this city you shan't have for the ask
ing."
"Papa," said the little girl, "listen,
papa." And sue began to wnispw in
his sunburned ear.
When she had done he sat silent for
a moment, his frank, kindly eyes suf
fused in tears.
"Boys," he said, addressing our two
waifs, "my little girl has told me your

to do and yet what you couldn't do.
