MEDDLER
He Needed a Lesson. and
He Received It
By F. A. MiTCHEL
Protestor Van Winkle, an authority
on bruin disease*, had a theory that
the greatest liberty should be granted
to Insane patient*. The professor
clnimeil that shotting up a patient ag
gravated the disease It happened that
the college In which Van Winkle lec
tured was located In the same town
with the atate lunatic aaylum. and. aa
was natural, considering his specialty,
his opinions on the treatment of ths
Insane con fine* 1 then? had grvat weight
with the townspeople, from whom they
were reflected upon the board of dlrec
tors of the asylum
Pf. Swtnbourne. the superintendent,
not only had the confidence of the stnff
of doctors and nurseo? Indeed. all the
employees? but was very much belor
ed by them, and they were alwaya In
terror lest some visitor to the Institu
tion witnessing a necessary severity
should, with the aid of Professor Van
Winkle, cause the doctor to t*e repri
manded and that he would resign
Finally thla very thing happened A
mother saw her son put In a strait
jacket. She complained to Van Wlnkla.
The professor "talked." The directors
fulminated a law against unnecessary
severity and recommended the use of
patients, so far as possible, for what
ever work about the Institution they
were fitted. When these orders were
received by Dr. Swlnbourne be handed
In hla resignation.
While the matter was pending the ,
directors Invited the professor, who
had made all the trouble, to go to the
asylum, make an Inspection pertaining
especially to the treatment of pa tights
and report.
During the professor's visit he was
given every facility for the perform
ance of his work, the stuff were not
disposed to regard his presence there
favorably He had been there about
half an hour when he was shown to
a padded room wherein was confined
a man who showed no signs of mental
or any other disease The profesaor
?sked him why he was there.
"1 can't understand." replied the pa
tient "why I am detained here The
management might better avail them
selves of my service* and save some
of the money they have been wasting
I was for years chef in one of the
largest hotels In America and could do
all the cooking required here Instead
of that I am being driven really Insane
by being confined alone with no occupa
tkra."
Nothing could have conformed more
nearly to the professor's theory.
"Why don't you give the man a
chancer he asked of tha attendant
who was conducting him.
"He has been under surveillance, pro
fessor." was the reply, "and we have
about concluded to grant his request
What do you think al?out It? If you
say the word we will put him In the
kitchen at once."
"1 will assume the responsibility of
your doing so," replied the Inspector.
The patient was at once let out of
confinement and went below while the
professor continued hla Inspection.
There was great relief felt by the
staff when the great mental expert
mentor finished his work and was
ready to depart. While standing In
the hall waiting for hla carriage to
drive up to the door the patient he had
released from the padded room In
the white apparel of a cook stepped
up to him and whispered In his ear
that If he would come to the kitchen
he would show him something he
should The professor wont ?uo |
him to the kitchen. They had no
sooner entered than the patient locked
the door and put the key In hi* pocket
"I dont propone." he said. "that any
of these villains who hare kept me a
prisoner shall Interfere with ray show- ,
In* you what miserable rotten stuff
they hare been feeding ua. If 1 gave
them a chance they would come In
here and on pretense that I show sign*
of relapse kike me back to that mad
room. Mad room! That's what It Is?
a room In which to make some people
mad. Come here!"
Now. the kicking of the door waa In
Itself not especially grateful to Pro- :
flesaor Van Winkle, but when be saw
the chef petting excited he felt a cold
chill run down his hack. He went
with tbe latter to the enormous range,
capable of cooking meala for a couple
of hundred persons. Their was a hot
Are within, and tbe noon meal was
betng prepared On the range a large
cauldron of soup was boiling.
"How many cooks do you suppose
they had here when I came In?" the
patient asked excitedly. "There were
ten cooks, and each cook had an as
distant Besides these fifty cooks and
assistant cooks, there were twenty
scullktns. Just think of It? a hundred
cooki and scullions to get the meals
for not over 150 persons, and the peo
ple of the state tared to pay 'em! 1
seized thls'-taktng up a cleaver-"and
drove 'em all out"
Professor Van Winkle had a theory
as to tbe management of In na tics
when tbey became dangerous. It was
to humor them. The chef was grow
log more and more excited, and the
professor thought It high time to In
vent some way of getting out
"What door did yoo drlva them
throaghT' ho asked
"That Mm," ukl tb? chef, pointing
to a door oppoatte the one through !
which they bad entered.
"I<et us go and ODd them." aatd Van
Winkle, starting for tbe door. But ,
when be reached It hi* heart sunk with j
In him. It was locked Turning, be
saw the chef holding up the key. laugh
Ing and dancing.
"Tou didn't think I w<*ild let 'em
come back, did you? Not I. 8uppoee
the whole lot of 'em ahould come down
on me armed wltb cnrrlng knlvea I'd
hare to cot their htada off with the
clearer." And he brought It down
fiercely on a huge block used for cut
ting meat on.
The professor looked at the window*
with a view to boltlnjt through one of
them. The aaabea were all down and
before he conld get one of tbem up the
maniac could apllt hi* akull with the
cleaver.
"If 1 ever get out of here alive." said
the caged man to himself. "I'll atlck to
my studies and let other* work out ray
condualona in practice. I>e bad enongh
of thl*. This fellow hi mad aa a March
hare."
"Come herel" thurdered the chef,
"and aee what kind of meat thta devil
Swlnbourne feeds ns on."
Van Winkle obeyed, and the man.
opening the door of one of the ovens,
pulled out a pan containing a large ,
roast of staling beef.
"Smell Itr cried the chef.
Van Winkle, not during to disobey,
bent over the roast
"Cloeerr
Van Winkle bent lower. The mnnlac ,
put hi* band on the otber'a bend and
rubbed hie none on th* beef. When he
t>ermitted his victim to arise, a red
spot appeared on the top of the pro
fessor's nose
"You've come here to make an In
spection and yon've gt< to do It Ton
can't amell anything imlesa you poke
your nose Into It What do you think

"Roast beef. It smells very had."
stammered the terrified scientist
"Roast beef! Why. man. that'a not
roast beef; It's ?nlcora."
"Certainly It K"
"And It's rotten."
"Very rotten."
"Not fit to eat"
"Indeed It'a not"
"What'll I do with It r
"Throw It away."
"No; III burn It to ? cinder." And
shoving the meat hack Into the erven,
he shut the door with ? bang
"Do you know, profeusor. what kind
of meat I believe ti? feeding Insane per
sons on?"
"No."
"Tinman meat Tbere'a something In

sufferers in this asylum one dinner of

"Suppose," said the professor, trem

some brain food for them."
"Go out? Why should we go out

Trade At Home
IT in a hard thing to convince aome people, who have acquired the
mail order habit that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green field* far away appeal to them, ao they send their money out of
town for something that ia no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE j
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue agains?mail order business.
