    Accident in Chicago Loop Is
Blessing to New Yorker.
New York.—A man clad In a ragged
Built and a dirty white sweater started
to cross State street in Chicago one
night recently, He was just another
bit of human flotsam and nobody pald
very much attention when he leaped
from In front of a speeding automo-
bile, stumbled and rapped his head on
the curb.
The fellow got up and rubbed his
head In a bewildered manner. Traflie
in the loop swirled on, but the man in
the disheveled clothes sought a side
street—he was suddenly and unac-
countably ashamed of his appearance.
Faint flickers of memory began to stir
In an awakened mind, writes Tom
Pettey In the Chicago Tribune.
And that Is why Harry G. Havery,
wealthy Westchester county real es-
tate and insurance man, who had been
given up for dead after he dropped
from sight on a fishing trip in Long
Island sound eight months ago, was
back with his family in time for a
happy Christmas, Mr. Havery was
haggard, his cheeks were thin, and he
eould remember little of his adven-
tures in aphasia.
He Finds Himself.
He had found himself a few hours
after having suffered the blow on his
head in Chicago when his erratic mem-
ory told him who he was as his brain
began to function normally, He im-
mediately began hurried preparations
to return home.
The Westchester man who came
back from the dead is thirty-eight
years old and a steép-son of the late
Charles Purdy, ploneer land owner in
New York city's most fashionable
suburban district,
Mr. Havery had lived for years with
his wife and four children near White
Plains. On May 2 he went fishing off
Rye beach, and when he did not re
turn home that night, a search dis.
closed his boat anchored 100 feet from
the shore, and evidence that he had
fallen Into the rock-studded waters,
All efforts to find any trace of him
failed. He had been happy at home,
His health and business affairs were
in good condition, The family felt he
had suffered an accident and slowly
gave up hope.
Wires Brother.in-Law,
Mr. Havery's brother-in-law, Assist-
ant Corporation Counsel Samuel
Faille, received a telegram signed with
the missing man's name. A telephone
call to Chicago followed and $100 was
telegraphed for Havery's expenses
home,
“I do not know where I have been
nor what I have been doing all these
months I have been away,” said Mr.
Havery at his home.
“Things were mostly blank after I

Entomology
The gcience of entomology, or
the study of insects, began with
Aristotle. He included In this
