The Senator was a sick man. mentally and physically. He told Mollie. that if anything happened to Selma he would blow his brins out. And Mollie knew this was not a wild threat; it was a simple statement of fact.

“She was unhappy about Carl Balmer" Mollie said, "and in all probability has gone off somewhere t. get it out of her system. Nothing will hapen to her. Senator."

Nevertheless, when the senator had gone, Mollie went to see her friend at police headquarters. "All I want," she informed him, "is per- haps a word whispered to one or two of your men. But officially you know nothing about it.”

When Mollie was leaving, the office gave her a copy of what the police had said was a diary, iound in Wells’ room. There were twenty- four single spaced typewritten pag- es. It was not in any sense a diary but a clumsily written autobio- graphy. When she had read it through she went back and checked and re-read passages she found par- ticularly interesting. fllhe portions she checked follow:

"I was born in Madrid, Spain, September 22, 1903. Before I was a year old I was taken to Cairo, Egypt, where nq father, a surgeon of some standing, was in charge of a large private hospital. I was al- ways curious about what went on in my father's operating room, and when I was six I climlkd up to the transom of a small room of! the operating room and watched, with considerable horror, I must admit, s. complete autopsy. lt was a full year before I again ventured to return to my secret place. But the interval had given me new courage and by the time I was twelve years nld I had witnessed at least fifty major operations, and several autopsies. "m time I was not only hardened by these experiences but developed a mat eagerness to try my own hand at this fascinating business. During my iatherbabsence from the hospi- tal, I inveigled a young neighbor boy into the operating room where I chlorofonned him, pulled of! his clothes and had made a three-inch incision in ‘his left side when my father, returning unexpectedly, found me there. Under his able care the boy recovered. Twas thoroughly whipped, but I think my father was interested by the discovery that I was disposed to follow his fotsteps for after that he frequently talked to me about both medicine and sur- gery.

"But about this time two events occurred that definitely turned me against any orderly career. My mother, whose own mother had died in an insane asylum, went stark mad and after several months of in- finite patience on my father's part was removed to an institution. The second event took place shortly alter my mother's commitment. While fighting with a boy oi about my own age and size. an orderly man interferred and in a rage I drew a pocket knife and stabbed him several times in the hack. For this I was tried foi- assault and only my father's plea saved me from a term in a house of correction."

There followed an unt of the boy Fuhrmanh next three years

Then, after a year oi travel, he was sent to Oxford with the ex- pectation that on his graduation he would begin the study of medicine. “It was generally believed now that I had undergone a refonnation, and perhaps I had for while I had definitely decided long ago not to be a physician, I had also come to realize that the intelligent person does not openly defy society's laws.

CLERGYMAN DIED ' WORTH $400,000

LONDON, Oct. 3-The estate oi an Anglican clergyman, . who divided his life between church work and hotel management, has been prohated" at more than $400,000. The bulk of this goes to his adopted daughter.

The deceased was the Rev. Francis Thomas Bartlett Westlake. Originally in the Baptist ministry he eventually took Anglican orders, worked for some time in Lanca- shire, and finally had a rectory in Northamptonshlre. Meanwhile with his wife, who was a keen business woman, he managed a large private hotel in Douglas, Isle of Man, the clientele oi which was drawn largely from church and. chapel ‘circles.

A MIMI-I'd ‘Foot Bath

When preparing s. mustard foot bath, he sure to dissolve the mus- tard in cold water first. Then add it to the hot water. If just dumped in, the mustard is very apt to stick to the skin and cause a. burn or blister.

An Unpleasant Smell

If your hands persplre you are very apt to have gloves that get a nasty, leathery odor to them after several weerings. This can be prevented ‘by dusting rice or talcum powder into the gloves as soon as th~y are removed.

When crystal vases or flower holders are used frequently s. brown stain is apt to form at the base. These dark stains can be remo :l by moistenin tea leaves with vinegar, placing them in the vase and scrubbing the inside with them by means of a bottle brush.

THE CHARTER OAK

The Charter Oak in Hartford. Conn, was blown down in August. 1856, when its age was computed to be nearly 1,000 years. The tradi- tion relating to it is as follows: When Sir Edmund Andros was appointed governor general of New England, he came to Hartford in i687 to receive the Colonial char- ter. This the olonists were loath to surrender, but, appearing to submit, carried it to the council chamber. During the debate,‘ the lights were extinguished and in the ensuing confusion the docu- ment was carried from the room to its hiding place in the hollow of the tree. Here it remained until 1689, when the deposition of Andros made further concealment unnecessary.
