Dr. Robert Saffo-d Newton tells an
Interesting story of au impostor who
successfully feigned epilepsy for a great
number of years, in spite of .the faot
that be was watched by the most skill
fal neurologists. : ; --
"Bow to feiga epileptic fits forms a
necessary part of the education of many
. ' .criminals in Europe and America. In
England, where it has been saooessfnlly
-worked for a great many years and is
, 'well known to the "police, the feigning
of epilepsy iB called 'throwing of fits'
and 'dummy chucking.' It is invariably
worked in threes, after this formula:
Two men, evidently friends, are walk
ing along tbe street, when suddenly one
of them falls in an epileptio fit The
' .Mend of the tick man pretends to be
greatly worried and. gives all of bis at
tention to the resuscitation. . Naturally
' enough, a crowd gathers aronnd. The
' third man lifts pocketbooks and watoh
s and makes off with them. ;
"There is one man whose career as
feigner of epilopsy is most remarkable.
. This man's name was Craig, and . my
' first knowledge of him was when I was
' .omneoted with the Whitechapel Boad
;" House hospital, the biggest hospital, in
. England. It bad ' been noticed that
whenever Oraig fell in a fit in the streets
' cf London, reports were sent in to the
, police of money and jewelry lost r Be
was more than anspeoted and was sent
' iulo tbe hospital, both to be treated and
- to be watched. . This man was a perfect
" fraud, bnt he was so well op in bis act
' ing that though he was most carefully
watched be escaped doteotion. He was
valuable man, bnt perhaps bis' pal
feared that the" London police bail too
close an eye on their movements. ' At
11 events Craia was next heard of iu
America. Tbe old formula waB repoutod,
r He fell in fits, and valuables stolen wero
reported to tbe police. - He was shifted
" aronnd from hospital to hospital, and a
careful watob was kept upon hiin, both
when he was in one of these fits and iu
tb time of their intermission.; "
"Craig began to think tbat si 'coup de
theatre' Wat neoessary to save his repu-
- tatlon. Be was at this time confined in !
a hospital and was in one of the upper
wards in the front part of the building.
; There were doors that opened ont on a
balcony. This baloony was 88 feet from
tbe ground, and at its base there was a
olid atone pavement. Epileptics arous-
. nally a dull, stupid sort of people, even
. when not in fits, and Craig feigned this
tepidity as well as the other symptoms
j .of tbe disease. He was allowed to wan-
- der about the hospital pretty much as
: he pleased, and every once in awbile
down he would fall in a fit. Tbe doctors
bad not discovered bis fraud, bnt Craig
.j felt more than nneasy at the way he was
. wutched and suspected. One morning he
- got up from hisenuir, and, with a dazed
.,; tort of look, at the same time putting
.. bis bands op to bis head, he staggered
- . toward the baloony 'and tumbled over
backward down, down, tbe full 8? feet
to tbe stone pavement below. When
' , be was pioked up, it was found tbat one
i of his wrists was broken and that he was
otherwise hurt, though, wonderful to
' tell, not seriously.' Of course this settled
In the minds of the doctors the donbt
' that bad previously existed at to whether
be was a fraud or not The thing work
: cd exactly at Craig had planned tbat it
. should, and in course of time be was
: discharged as a true bnt incurable epi
. leptio. Onoe again on the outside, he
worked successfully the old game of fits
... and pocket pioking in threes.
. "Onoe more be waa taken up and sent
to the hospital, .Hare young doctor set
tot himself the tasked watobing tbis
clever rogue. - He bad every symptom.
. He wonld froth at tbe month, blood
would stream from his tongue tbat he
had bitten in his convulsions, and there
v seemed nothing wanting in real epilep
sy. . Bnt this young doctor kept his
vigil, and patience had ita reward. - .
. "One day, Jnst a Craig was going

With the fingers on the inside of the
thumbs. The dootor gave him a gentle
" kick In tbe side and saidi 'That'll do,
'Craig. I've oaught you. Von re fraud,
you've done your tricks well and for a
long time, but your time Is up. If yon

, better read in medicine, you wonld have
closed tbe finger over tbe thumbs.'
Without a single protest Oralg straight.

"What beoame of tbe man?" --'
"Ob, bis talents found market Be
was so well known, bad been so written

him to go before medical students and

v In more advanced portions of the com

tbe Armenian church strenuously op

only soluble by death. Not infrequently

and coins hang ronnd their necksT - Iu
winter the embroidered bodice is ex
changed for a wadded one, and huge felt
shoes are worn over the ordinary boots
to keep out the biting oold. Though the
Armenian women do not wear veils to
oonoeal their features as a point of re.
llgion, they not infrequently do cover
their faces with gauze or a corner of a
bawl '.V''--"-' -.
Some of tbe younger women, however,
bave discarded their native costume for
that of London three years ago, and tbey
are evidently not quite at ease in their
newly acquired corsets. They copy the
fashion plates in English papers and

the matter of marriage, and never miss

Tbis question waa argued for several
days in the house of lords until debate
exhausted itself and several duels result

lord ohanoellor should first receive tbe
bows of tbe duke and duchess 'and re.
tnrn them with unoovered bead and aft

At high oon, aa I rode across tbe
wide spreading prairie, I baked ai a,
squatter's cabin and. inquired, the
man sitting on the doorstep if J could
get a bite lo eat .
"I don't skassly think yoa kin," be
replied as he looked me over, '
"I'll pay you for it"
"Yes, I know,, but that ain't tbe
question. Fuetly, tbe ole woman ain't
yere to oook nntbin; and, seoondly, no
body knows jest wbo owns this claim. "
" "Isn't it yours?" I asked.
"Waa; I sorter reckon to consider it
was, but yisterday a feller cums along
to jump me. Hereckonstoconsider that
he's got tbe best rights. "
r, "Then it's a caBe of law?"
v ;0h, nol Thar' won't be no goin to
law about it. - No, neither one of us
wont to go to law,"
"How will it be decidod?"
"Waal, he was in a hurry yisterday
and didn't bev no gun along, but he's
cumin back today to bev it out With mo,
That's why tbe pie woman has gone
away. If he kin shoot me outer the
shnnty, bis claim is good; if be oan't,
then I'm goin fo bury him whar he
fell." '
"Apd you expect him today?" !
"This arteruoon, sab, I guess that's
bim down thnr by the grove. If you
want to git into that bole out tbar ond
watch tbe scrimmage, neither one of us
will object, but you'd better keep yer
bead down. "
I thanked him kindly and rode on, as
ho was getting out bis rifle and car
tridges. Three days later I returned that
Way, and be greeted me with t
"Waal, stranger, you km hev a bite
tg eat today."
"Is your wife home?"
"Bight to home, sah."
"And bow about the olaim?"
"I own ber,"
"Then the man"
"Yes, he cum, but bo was poor
shot. That's whar I planted him up
tbar on the hill. Git down, stranger,
git down and hev a snack with us and
fee yqurself to home. "
Mrs. Gallop's Tribulations,
"Samuel," said Mrs. Gallup as she
awoke at midnight and gave him a dig
in the ribs with her elbow, "I believe
there's a robber trying to get into tho
house. There, don't you hear that noise?"
I hear a noise," replied Mr. Gallup
as he sat up in bed, "but it may be u
robber, q cat, n rat or one of the blinds
blowing in the wind."
"But get up and see. "
"That would be going to troublo for
nothing. If it's a robber, there is noth
ing for bim to steal; if a cat, she will
soon go away ; if a rat, be won't do any
hurt, unci if a blind is loose I'll fix it iq
the morning. " -
"Mr. Gallup, will you wait to be
murdered in your bed?" she exclaimed
as she tumbled out on the floor.
"Ah, thanks! There is now no dan
gcr, as you are up and can raise a win
dow and soroam for the police in case of
emergency."
When Mr. Gallup reached borne the
other evening, he found Mrs. Gallup
with head and foot bandaged and was
greeted with:
"Samuel, run for tbe doctor as fast
as ever you can I"
"What has happened?" he inquired.
"l tell down stairs and bumped my
bead and run a nail into my foot
Uml Let us figure a moment. Bump
ing your bead may lead to brain fever,
and tbe nail in your foot may lead to
lockjaw. If you have brain fever, you
will be out of your head and might ns
well have lockjaw at the same time. If
you have lockjaw, a case of brain fever
won't make things any worse. Which
way do you want it?"
"Samuel, I ra dying!" sbe moaned.
"Then it's useless to call a doctor at
all, as there is no record of any dootor
ever saving the life of a dying person.
Can't be done, Mrs. Gallup; it sag'iu
nature and science."

"No, sab, boss. Eberyt'icg all right

"How can yon?"
"Yo jist oum around here an gimme

We went around behind the ootton
bales and held a five minute conversa
