Paasatioa Thirteen Yeari At
DlSAPPERANCE OF STUDENT EXPLAINED
Dr4 Out Slfct, Got Work
IUrrli4 a rarati'i Dhtr,
bat May Kv Bacasaa
a Uwri.
It was the late afternoon of a June day
thirteen years ago. A young man truarnd
llong the track of a northern Indiana rail
road. Jle was long-liiubed and athletic In
pperance, but In apparent dejection he
almost dragged his steps alon!?. Now and
then he paused o If pondering' over a
weighty problem. Nature was at her best
IB r offer of solace, but the weary trav
ler heeded her not. The merry songfters
tf the field flitted here and there along
his way, but their happy warbling Itruck
.ao responsive chords In his Heavy heart.
The young man wis looking Inward, and
what h saw and felt caused his utter ln
Jlfference to all outward appeals.
Not many days before he had graduated
i from a great university, with brilliant
1 social and professional prospects before
him. Ho had been the Idol of his cless
J mates, for he had ld them to many a
' glorloii victory rn the athletic field. And
he had acquitted himself well In his atud
Its, lor hi wns no ordinary mind. He
Fame of a family that had achieved aue
f ' eeas lulhe lines chosen by Its various niem
' ' I btra. They were hoping grext things of
him. Ifo was to become a shining lljjh at
tha bar, his brother, who bad preceded
him in that profession, told him.
Tasiea Hitter Urcgi,
And now this was th? result. The lights
of the great city, youthfulneus, recklesd
cess, a few wild nights, and then the brain
mercifully lost control and consciousness.
Many a youth has taated of the forbidden
cup and put It aside to forget It. But this
sensitive victim felt the dregs that he had
drained burning; lU his very soul.
This, then, was the weight that dragged
upon blm at the cloa of that beautiful
i June day as he wandered on, led by a de
f sir to aek physical exhaustion and for
' getftilneaa. Ht felt that he had disgraced
blmaelf Jid Ms fan-.tly. Perhaps If lie re
mained away they wojild forget him. The
tufa calm of araDlr.g. alraady upon blm.
oothed his tortured brain, and gradually
he began to think of a place to rest for the
night. Leaving the railroad, he approached
a farm hoUBO. Peace and contentment
seemed to brood over it, inviting him to
pause and rest He decided to ask for
work and atop until he could puu imu
together again.
Thus it wis that Charlea McGee Will
iams, whose mysterious dlsappeara.net fur
nished a sensation thirteen years ago that
was not forgotten for many months,
stepped out of the world 'w hich had prom
ised so much for hlin and became another
being, an unknown farmhand, among a
strange people.
Williams remembers that shortly after
flnlKhlng his law course la the State Uni
versity of Wisconsin, at Madison, he went
to Chicago, where he Intended to open a
law olfce. Thle wa late In June, and as
to his movements from that Ur.'.e until July
he says his mind Is a complete blank.
On July 3 he found himself in Hammond,
Ind., In a daaed condition, his . clothes
so;le'd and all his money gone. He could
not realize In what direction he was from
his heme and continued to wander aim
lessly about, finally going eastward on the
Nickel Plata tracks until he came near
what Is now Merrillvllle. a village In tha
central eastern part of Lake county.
M. .win res that he dees not know today
what caused his state of mlr.d. whether he
,. .lnuurd or drugged or whether ha
suffered from temporary insanity, but tho
fact that his pocket were rinea ana nis
clothes soiled leads him to think that he
fell lr.ti the hands of highwaymen after
v.i. ii.irition At any rate, he was dis
couraged and thought himself disgraced In
the eyes of his relatives, his reiiow stu
dents and his many idmlrers In the. college
wor'.d. Why should he return He wss
now In Indiana near a little town that was
not even on the map at the time.
Gets Job on Farm.
After wintering along the Nickel Plats
track for nearly a day and not having had
a drink or a bile to oat, he decided that
ho must ask at the first farm housa for a
"handout." It wu the first time and It
pained him to think about It; still ha had
U3 money, and he was compelled to Leg If
he wanted something to eat.
He finally came to the farm of Andrew
Wehner, where he applied for work lrmtead
of for something to eat, but fortunately he
was given both. He proved to be a willing
worker and Wehner kept him for six
months, after which Williams drifted Int3
Merrillvllle.
He was equally respected among the
women of ths town and was probably mors
admired than tho girls would admit, but
try as they would ho would not capitulate
to their wiles. But that was before he
went to work for tho Saxtons. Miss Clara
Belle Baxton may have admired him too
for his education and gentlemanly bearing,
but If she did she never showed it, at
least not in tho beginning. She was of the
same disposition as Williams.
It was but natural that the two quiet
young persons, excluding all other com
pany, should at last fall in love and finally
go to the county seat at Crown Point and
get married. Williams now had something
to live for and another reason why he pre
ferred to remain in Merrillvllle.
It was last January that a telephone
lino was extended through the village, and
It wan "Old Man" Pierce, the village pa
triarch, who unknowingly helped to dis
cover the long lost prodigal son. As la
customary with Mr. Pierce, he was at the
grocery store speaking to any customer
who might wait until the storekeeper should
return from a trip to the cellar, and It
was In this way that he became acquainted
with the Unenmen of the new telephone
company.
From ono of these ho learned that he
was from - Madison, Wis., and that he
would liko to meet anybody from his old
home. "Old Man" Plerct thought he might
know "Charley" Williams, who he knew
to be ,from Wisconsin, and made it his
business to Introduce the two to each other.
They proved to be old acquaintances and
the pleasur of meeting was mutual. After
a number of weeks the lineman left for his
home In Madison, and soon after young
Williams was approached by a young man
who represented himself as a land agent.
He asked Williams questions of such per
sonal nature that he became nettled and
told the stranger to move on.
Heads He Is "Koand."
On ths next day ho read In bold head
lines in the newspapers that he was
found. His folks read the same story in
their homes, and tx'fore the day was over
Leo Williams, his brother, an attorney, of
Fond du Lac, was on his way to Merrill
vllle to meet his brother Charlea
The meeting wss pathetic, but neverthe
less full of yy. His many friends and fel
low students read the story In ths news
papers and wherever they came together
they spoke of "Charley."
While Williams had been leading ths sim
ple life Dear ths er asing of two Indian
trails his companions had climbed up the
ladder In different fields, some in the pro
fessions, while others had grown to be In
fluential men in railroad. Insurance and
real estate circles. Although 42 'years old,
the doors of opportunity are opened to him
once more by his companions for the sake
of oH school days when he stood at the
head of the class or when he pitched the
Wisconsin nine to victory.
The probabilities are that his brother will
be able to persuade him to leave his little
home In the village of Merrillvllle and join
him In the law business at Fond du Lac.
Positions have been offered him, among
them being a partnership In his brother's
law practice In Fond du Lac, Wis. Whether
he will accept depends entirely upon the
preference for the "simple life" or for the
applause of the social and the business
world. Both are at his command, one near
his home and the second among the sur
roundings of his chosen home In Merrill
vllle. At the latter place a faithful wife
awaits his return from a short visit that
ho consented to make In company with his
brother at the eld homestead at White
water, Wis., at Madison and at Fond du
Lac Chicago Chronicle.
SNAKES PUT UP A FIGHT
Two Reptiles Bnrkle I'p and
One Swallows the
Other.
An interesting experiment with snakes.
Involving the swallowing of one reptile by
another of the same else, has recently been
conducted In a room of the National Mu
seum In Washington. The performance
was In the nature of a cannibalistic duel,
the principals were a king snake, and a
black snake, respectively, well matched
In respect of dimensions, hut with the odds
by the knowing scientists in favor of the
king.
The scene was the private offlt t of Prof.
Leonhsrd Styneger, which Is also a sort
o laboratory. Around the walls ars
ranged Jars containing snakes In alcohol,
with monstrous lizards and frogs. It is a
weird snd uncsr.ny looking place.
In separate boxes the live snakes, which
were In a famished condition were
brought to the office, and were released
from opposite ends of the room. There
was little time wssted In preliminaries.
The besdy black eyes of each reptile
seemed to glitter viciously as they csuKht
sight of each other, which they did almost
Immediately upon being released. Perhaps
the prettleat feature of the contest was the
maneuvering of the snakes for a hold. In
which their tactics were singularly like
those of two expert wrest'.ers, allowing, of
course, for ths anatomical differences.
Each squirming combatant searasd to
measure about four feet In length, and
portions of the virile bodies were erected
In the air as they worked for the critical
and deadly hold, the grip at the back of
the neck. With the rapidity of lighting
they clinched and became so Involved that
It was very difficult, If not Impossible, to
tell "which was t'other." From the seem
ingly lnextrlcablle tangle the king shot his
head, and, behold, with Its Jaws flrmly
fixed In the back of his antagonist's neck,
the contest was decided. All that remained
was to perform the hideous cannibalistic
finale, and this the victor proceeded to do,
the slowness of cruelty evidently conflict
ing with the urgency of hunger.
Gradually the head of the worsted reptile
was worked about and about, until It be
came horribly Involved In the other's Jaws,
down which It slowly disappeared, the
snake distending the skin of Its throat
until It seemed about to burst. The rest
of the quivering body followed the head.
It took the king about an hour to dispose
of Its victim, and when tho process waa
completed the tall of the unfortunate snake
was curled up In the other's throat. Dur
ing the course of the operation one of the
scientists present wished to cut the body
of the snake being swallowed in half. In
order to save, as he thought, the life of
the too gluttonous victor, but this sugges
tion was overruled as It was desired by the
other to see to what length a snake's can
nibalistic appetite and digestive powers
could go.
At the conclusion of Its repast the klrg
snake lay Inert. Its body quite stiff and
the skin so distended as to show plainly
between the scales. The most singular
part of the affair, and one which consider
ably astonished the scientists, waa that
torpor did not last, although the body of
the snake swallowed was an rent ly di
gested, or, at all events, that process vus
evidently begun to such a degree as to
promise complete assimilation. Whether
the assimilation was ever effected, how
ever, whether the king snake went upon
his rather full meal for a considerable
length of time exulting In his victory, or
whether he fell a victim to his Inordinate
cannibalism will never, probably, be known.
For, about five days after the duel, he had
sufficient animation to escape, and, for all
the scientists know, he may be wandering
festively about Washington. This fact need
not, however, prove alarming to those
persons to whose nerves snakes Impart s
creepy, crawly aencatlon, for the king
snake Is quite harmless to human being.
Indeed, many persons esteem these canni
bals of ths soaks world as pata Washing

MUSIC AS A JAG" CURE
Soothes the Bonsr Breast and Makes
that music Is wonderfully efllcaclous In re
storing victims of alcohol to rationality.
As with many other great discoveries this
was accidental. It appears that an Italian
organ grinder ran afoul of tho police and
was arrested. Hla organ wss taken to ths
station with him and In tho cold gray
dawn of the morning after some sportive
attendant set tho thing going. The effect
was magical.
As tho organ continued to wall out tho
venerable airs, blear-eyed topers began
fo sit up and take notice. The attendant
rioted the effect of different tunes upon
different prisoners. One hectic gentleman
with' a black eye and a nervous twitch,
who was entertaining a private menagerlo
over In a corner, was unaffected by every
tune except one. This was "Father, Dear
Father, Come Home with Me Now," and
when the strong-armed maestro tortured
this doleful old favorite out of the muxtc
box th animal trainer stood up, his eyeg
clenr, hla nervousness gone and with other
evidences of mental and physical resusci
tation. One drab woman who was seeing
cockroaches through a magnifying glass
succumbed to "Annie Iaurie." As ths
repertory progress, prisoner after pris
oner roused and was rejuvenated. To ths
tune of "Onward, Christian Soldiers," the
purty was marched to police court as
trunqull a crop of lambs as ever faced a
desk sergeant.
This dwu-overy Is worthy of universal at
tention among those who deal with ths
dregs of society. Hereafter every well
reguluted police station will be equipped
with a hand organ to soothe and sustain
the unfortunates who have fallen by tho
wayside. With proper study and Investiga
tion our municipal Jag studios may bo made
places of beauty and reformation. And
after awhile those who patronize them
may learn the words of some of the tunes
so as to accompany the Instrumental se
lections by vocal efforts. It would bo a
beautiful and Inspiring spectacle to ob
serve half a hundred devotees of Barley
corn pouring forth from full hearts a
gladsome welcome to the dawu --Kansas

For a long time the musical treatment
of the Insane has been popular In some
progressive asylurrs, where It was found
that certain causes of violent dementia
jii'.ded readily to the soothing stiains of
violin and piano. Now comes the chief
of pollcs of Cleveland with a discovery
MonUr slilHea at Weddloae.
If there ever wag an "upwrltten law"
applying to the most uninltltvitvd nuisance
of moilern times it should cover reprlhals
upon th brainless "cut ups" who consider
a wedding an appropriate opportunity to
display their union, Hy. Just why the bar
bur.ius and lilloti.' custom of persecuting
brides and hi lilesrooms should survive in
this day tu' alleged civilization Is not clear.
