TWO MINDS
Wealthy Lumberman of Van
couver Had Forgotten Wife.
Woman One Had Married Agrees to
Wait While He Returns to Scot
land to See if Mrs. Scott No.
1 Was Alive.
Seattle, Wash. Curious Instances
of lapses of memory covering long
periods have come to light simultane
ously here In the stories of two men
whose minds have been cleared by
Illness.
Georgo Scott, a rich lumberman of
Vancouver, supposed himself a bache
lor until l'JU9, when he married. Now
be suddenly remembers that, twenty
six years ago, he left a wile and chil
dren In Edinburgh, Scotland.
The other case Is that of 8. Cbnnd
ler Rogers, who was beaten so bailly
In New York fourteen years ago that
be forgot bis name. He drifted here
and has been known as George Kelly.
An operation has recalled him to him
self. In all the years that Scott was pil
ing up a fortune he seemed heart
proof until a musical comedy company
visited Vancouver two years ago. He
then capltulntcd to Jane Patterson of
Allfgheny, Pa., one of Its members
Although their ages were far apart,
they lived happily. Scott finally met
with an accident which fractured his
skull and brought on, In addition, a
serious Illness, through which his wife
nursed him.
Memory of bis youthful domestic
life came with his recovery. In telling
his wife of It be said his name al
ways was George Scott and that he
never bad a physical mishap or Ill
ness to explain a Iobs of memory.
Nevertheless his mind had been ut
terly blank as to the wife and babies
In Scotland.
Mrs. Scott did not question his good
faith, but said his story dictated a
plain course for her. through the di
vorce court. They talked It out thor
oughly and It was finally arranged
thnt she should bring action for di
vorce and Scott return to Scotland
and learn what had become of his
family. Should he find the first wife
he must make proper amends to ber.
If she Is dead he will come bnck to
Vancouver and the second "Mrs.
Scott" will marry hltn again.
Rogers, or Kelly, was brought to
the Providence hospital here on Octo
ber 10, suffering from an attack or
acute Insanity, with which he had
been taken In bis home In Port Berke
ley. The doctors found thnt a por
tion of the skull was pressing on the
brain. Surgery soon relieved him and
be became perfectly normal.
He called for pen and paper and
wrote: "I am In hospital and alio K.,"
addressing the envelope to Miss Flor

letter asked that Father Doherty of

Then he broke down with a lit ot

Millions of cod fry have been set

Corliss at tbe hatchery or the United
States bureau of fisheries here.
Working since last December, the
hatchery has In this way taken charge
of some 132,000,000 cod eggs and has
hatched successfully and distributed
tuoVe than 90,000,000 fry all along tbe
coast in Ipswich Bay and Massachu

If only half of these manage to es

STRAYED FROM USUAL HAUNTS
Cormorant, Salt Water Fishing Bird,
Killed Recently Near Sault Ste.
Marie, Michigan.
Snult Ste. Marie, Mich. An excep
tionally rare water fowl was recently
shot on Hay lake, near here. It was
a cormorant, a bird of which little Is
known In this section of the coun
try. It resembles a goose in a way
and has many peculiar characteristics.
It inhabits cliffs and rocky places
along both the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, and It Is an expert Ki.lt water
fisher.
One peculiarity about it Is thnt while
It has web feet. It alights In trees to
rest after long flights It Is closely al
lied to the pelican In conformation nnd
habits. It Is an exiiert diver and
swims with such swiftness under wa
ter thnt few fish can evnde It.
The cormorant swims very low In
water and Is not often seen by tbe
unobscrvlng. When on land his
rigid tall feathers support him and
he makes an awkward appearance. In
the breeding season It Is said that vast
numbers of the birds congregate on
cliffs and rocky places. The female
deposits three or four eggs In a loosely
constructed nest of dry seaweed.
The Chinese and Japanese have
long trained the cormorant to fish
for them. A number of the birds
are taken to sea on boats and be
gin the day's business for their master.
When it Is being taught, a ring Is
placed about the neck of the young
bird so It Is unable to swallow the
prey It enptures In Ihe water.
How tho bird shot here happened
to be so far Inland Is not known. He
often leaves the mas for rivers In
land, and It Is thought that It might
have been driven farther Inland than
usual by tho high winds and storms
that have prevailed on the Atlantic
coast.

TO SAVE COD
"Cod eggs In water at a tempera
ture of 40 degrees will hatch In sev
enteen, days," said Mr. Corliss, "and
during tho hatching season there we
have thorn In all stages, planting them
as fry and as llngerllngs.
"Running, as we do. at full capacity
to handle the eggs which are collected
on board the commercial fishing boats,
there la no room to keep the young
cod up lo the stage of growth known
as flngerllng, or a length of three or
four Inches.
"In distributing these fish we put
them on the natural spawning grounds
of the cod. Thus they go at once Into

TIRES CF HIS LONESOME JOB
French Caretaker of Costly, but Unoc

Building Unfinished.
Paris. ThJ French government
erected a building at a cost of $1,000.
1100 nine years ago and after Install
ing a caretaker took no further steps
to utilize it on the ground that It was
"not quite finished."
In the year 1902 the government de
elded to create a special audit depart
merit and a list of nominations to the
various posts' was drawn up. An agot'
Reservist, whose services to the coun
try entitled him to fitting rewards, was
appointed caretaker of a new build
Ing which was being erected for the
department of the Ruo Cambon. The
concierge wbb told to lake charge at
once. The building was not quite fin
ished, but within a month or two
everything would be In order, and the
members of the ministry would take
up their duties there.
Proudly the Reservist took up his
quarters In the vast but unfinished pal
ace. For days he walked through the
Immense building without seeing an
other human being, but at last the dis
pirited man began to beguile bis
time by learning a new variation of hlB
favorite game of patience.
Fortunately for the concierge he
had taken the precaution to bring with
him In the empty building a kitten and
a canary. For two years he saw no-
one and nenrd notning, aunougu ue re
ceived his monthly salary with mili
tary punctuality. In 1905 the archi
tect rushed in and breathlessly re
marked thnt a little furniture would be
brought into (he building and It would
then Immediately become a busy blve.
- The little kitten had outgrown Its
mischievous nonage and became a
gray haired and tired looking cat
when, In 1905. the concierge, wearied
by the strain of waiting, complained to
the department heads. He was sooth
ed by a promise that everything would
soon be right.
Finally even the patience of the
long suffering concierge came to an
end, for he recently resigned his po
sition. The empty palnce In the Rue
("million, which was erected at a cobI
of 11.000.000. is still awaiting one or
two slight alterations.

We Get
The big coflVe trust, made tip of Krnzilinn
growers and American importers, has been trying
various ladies to boost the price of coffee and get
more money from tbe people.
Alwnys the man who is trying to dig extra
money out of the public pocket, on a combination,
hates t tic man who blocks the game.
Now conjes a plaintive blent from the "exas
perated" ones.
The. Journal of Commerce lately said : "A Ftir
ring circular has just been issued to the coffee
trade." The article further pays:
"The coffee world is discussing what is to be
the future of coffee as a result of ihe campaign
of miseduention carried on by the cereal coffee
people. AVe have before us a letter from one of
the largest roasters in the South asking what can
be done to counteract the work of the enemies
of coffee.
"The matter should have been taken up by
the Brazilian Gov't when they were completing
their bcnutiful valorization scheme."
then the article proceeds to de
nounce Postum and works Into a
fine frenzy, because we have pub
lished facts regarding the effect of
coffee on some people.
The harrowing tale goes on.
"Where a few years ago every
body drank coffee, several cups a
day, now we find In every walk In
life people who Imagine they can
not drink It. (The underscoring la
ours.) Surly blacksmiths, carpen
ters, laborers and athletes have dis
continued or cut down the use of
coffee; as there la not' a person
who rends this and will not ba able

ances, Is it not well for the Brazil

Isn't it CllfioUS these "bur

fee to "Imagine" about? Why not
"Imagine" that regular doses of
whiskey are harmful, or dally slugs
of morphine!
If "Imagination" makes the caf

on one or more of the dozens of
