JL'PGE OKE E N V A ID'S condition must be prfitty serious as we see by last night's Times that he was "shot in the corridor."

MENTAL DEFECTIVES. The danger of permitting mental defectives to run at large has for the third time in Hammond within a few months been forcibly demonstrated, and added responsibility from now on must be placed on the shoulders of those J idges and authorities who permit them to be at large. Michael Inik of Whiting, who shot Judge Greenwald, Bailiff DeBow and Juror Robbins yesterday and who by the sheerest miracle only was prevented from turning the courthouse into a shambles, is no more to blame for the shocking deed than is the Sultan of Sulu. He was known to be mentally unbalanced for six years, yet he has been allowed to roam at large. When he went to Washington to see President Taft, it is quite probable that if he had been permitted to see the president that he would have shot at him. In the case of the Hammond moron who recently attacked nine little girls, the fellow was released from the state asylum on whose responsibility no one has yet determined. The next legislature should by all means provide a state institution where mental defectives and feeble minded may be given temporary care and their condition determined by experts, and until that time the courts should be unusually vigilant in such cases that come before them. It is useless for us to say that an unbalanced mind is harmless because it is but a step from that condition to dangerous insanity.

A SADDENED EDITOR.

Says the editor of the Centralia (Mo.) Courier:' "Rabbits with their fur jackets on sell for 20 cents apiece in Jefferson City and eggs bring 30 cents per dozen. If we could have obtained such prices in our boyhood we would be clipping coupons in Wall street now instead of wondering where the next mess of liver was to come from. More and more are we beginning to believe that the farmers are the real plutocrats oj America.

CHRISTMAS WISDOM EMPHASIZED. AU of the many reasons that have been used to, back up the exhortation, "Buy your Christmas presents early," are strengthened this year by the confident prophecies coming from the shops of every kind that holiday trade is going to be brisker than ever before. There may be, of course, in these forecasts something of the hope that so often disguises itself as knowledge, and certainly rot quite everybody has determined to celebrate the nation's prosperity by making an unusual number of Christmas presents, but there really are trustworthy indications that there will be more than the customary display of generosity and good-will in this manner. That means, naturally, that the early buyers will have the larger stocks of fresh goods from which to make their selections, while those who come late will suffer more than in ordinary years from the necessity to content or discontent themselves with taking what other people for one reason or another have left behind. As always, the early buyer will do her buying or his in greater personal comfort than the late one, for, however vehement may be the preaching to timely purchasers, the last few days before Christmas are sure to be those of the biggest crowds. Human nature is built that way, and perhaps it is Just as well, or at least no worse, because there would be no particular advantage in merely putting ahead for a few days or weeks the excited rush which now comes at the now-or-never period. To the supplications for early buying that rise from the shopkeepers and from the more considerate friends of their employes, there are added those, of the postmasters and the managers of the express companies. They, too, while saying several words for themselves, can honestlv sav as manv

for the general public in urging the distribution of Christmas transportation over three or four weeks, instead of concentrating it in less than one. A package started betimes arrives in better season, which does no harm, if properly marked as to its opening, and it is much more likely to arrive in rood condition when it has escaped many perils of the last grand rush. Incidentally, you will find no better places to buy Christmas presents than the stores which are advertising in THE TIMES. They have the larger selection, the better stocks.

LADIES! DARKEN

Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will Know.

The u.&e of Sage and Sulphur for restoring: faded, gray hair to its naluri' color dates hack to grandmother's lime. She used it to keep her ha.it beautifully drirk, glossy and attractive. Vheneer her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, thin simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. liut brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking Rt. any drug store for a 50 cent bottl of "Wyeth'fl Sage and Sulphur Compound." you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be aperided upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it ha.-, been applied. You pimply dampen a sponge- or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another aplicati n t" two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. YV'yeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite for tho-e who desire a mor youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Adv.

Oh, very well, let's talk about Bomething else Let's turn with the genial Abe Martin to something more 'kinrlly and entertaining Listen to Abe: "More'n once durin' our long, hard blusterin' winter have I thought about th' old-time family circle we used t see thro' th' windowg as we trudged along th' street thro' th' snow in th' evenin'. Ther wuz mother an' th' girls an' father an' th' boys, all huddled around a bifc squatty lamp with a green phade in th' settin' room with real contentment written on ever' face. Mother lcnowed where her children wuz then, an' father wuz content with only one lodge. Bver'buddy knew what t do with 'emselves in th' old family circle days. Father had th" easiest chair on th' best side o' th' two leaf table an' read Pilgrim's Progress, er talked f mother while she quilted or set th' buckwheat. Emmy made wax flowers er worked mottoes, while Alice got her algebry er sewed. Rob an' Henry played checkers on th floor er pored o'er th' pages o' Daniel Boone er Robinson Crusoe. Ther wuz a big
