When spring comes, with its bou

hk flowers, the heart of the fenii
iliic world turns to the millinery
>u?i notion stores, where the colors
if spring are reproduced In the
luiuty ribbons, exquisite laces and
uvely riowers. Miss Mattle Gerald

We talk of pretty hats, we dream

And we can see pretty hats If

st^rc hospital for the insane, and
Dr. ICieauyra H, Saunders? second uk
sls:ant Ph^^iclan of that institution,
wIhi niao resigned, have opened an
| Infirmary in Waverly, a suburb of
| Columbia. Application for admls
? sion were , received Monday from
t four patients.
The resignations of Dr. Habcock
land Dr. Saunders iik offh'iuls of the
I hospital for (he insane were accept
ed T)y the hoard of regents of that
institution in special session last
Friday. Thin -notion is regarded uh
duo to the fight which lias been
waged against both physicians for
the past several months by their ojir
ponentH In political life.
Hen a to/' 'fc'T. Strait, of Lancaster,
who has been appointed superin
auno to succeed Dr. Habcock, an
tendunt of the hospital for the in
sumed that poKition Monday, having
arrived frojn It Ik home early in the
day. He in a physician of many
years" e.\;> ? ence.
'l'he boa*. >iold effects of Dr. ltab
cook have been removed from his
former home within the asylum
grounds, where he spent 25 years.
No successor to I)r. Saunders has
been chosen. Chaiitnan Carothers
of the board of regents announced
that the board would probably con
sider the applications for this yosi-.
tion for several weeks, before her
successor was named. He stated
that a woman physician was preferr
ed. At present the white female
ward, over which Dr. Saunders had
charge. Is now under the supervis
ion of Dr. J. I j. Thompson, first as
sistant physician of the asylum.
Dr. Habcock stated Monday tha*
he had declined an offer to assume
the superintendency of a large hos
pital near Columbia, and also had
deoiirieed to take charge of the
building of a large pellagra hospi
tal at Charlottee. It seems that a
company there has offered to erect
such a" hospital if Dr. Babcock will
assume charge.
The. former asylum superintend
ent emphatically stated Monday that
he would remain at Columbia until
the present administration was
changed.
The newly opened sanitarium of
Dr. Babcock and Dr. Saunders is
located at, 2315 Taylor street, a
bout two blocks beyond Columbia
hospital, and is known as the Hen
ry P. Clark place. The building is
large, and well adapted for sanita
rium purposes, says Dr. Babcock.
Ho and Dr. Saunders will specialize
In the treatment of nervous and
mental diseases.

KELLINGER'S INSOMNIA
; v.' ?v\jr '
By DOROTHY DUNN.
Kellinger couldn't sleep. All bis life
he hu<l been bothered that way. fc\>r
no reason whatever sleep would sud
denly desert htiw^md when It aban
doned/ Kelllngor It abandoned the rest
of the family, meaning Mrs. Kelllnger
and tin- bulldog.
When Mr?, Kelllnger would an
nounce Badly to their acquaintances
that Tom had begun waking up at
on^ o'clock and staying awake till six
or not going to sleep at all until half
past-threo it was exactly as tragic as
though sho was breaking the news
that he had fallen a victim to the
suicide habit or had begun murdering
people again after a short vacation.
Those to whom she spoke always had
: an uneasy feeling that they ought to
! send Mowers or something-'
Kelllnger absolutely refus?*H to go
to the doctor about it, He said the
physician would merely ask him if he
had embezzled any trust funds or had
anything else on his conscience* and
would appear annoyed because he
hadn't.
"it's just nerves," Kelllnger would
say In martyred tones. "I wake up
and then I begin thinking and I cant
jrtop. I worry about what would hap
pen if ten years from now a long, hard
winter should set in and I didn't have
any work, Then there is Uncle Dave,
who has Just invested all his money in
a gold mine, and what if he should
lose it! And think dt the Bufferings
Of the people over there hi the Bal
kan regions during this cruel war!"
"If Tom didn't have such an absurd
ly tender heart!" Mrs. Kelllnger
would sigh proudly.
That is, she sighed proudly till the
sleepless streak had continued for
some time, and then she<grew peevish
from lack of slumber. ; At first she
would read aloud to Kelllnger or
would arise and, descending to the
kitchen, would concoct unholy two
o'clock lunches of fried egg sand
wiches to lull him to sleep. Later on
she took to making remonstrances.
Following these heart tp heart talks,
Kelllnger gave up coffee and> cigars
and once in a while managed to sleep
the night through, but more often he
didn't.
"If you were twins, now," Mrs. Kel
llnger murmured reproachfully one
night at three o'clock at Kelllnger,
who sat propped up sociably against
the bedpost with the reading light on
full blast. "I suppose I shouldn't mind
being awake like this. I'd expect It.
But I don't mind telling you secretly
that I'm (yawn) getting aw-aw (y^iwn)
fully tired of it! I'm just dead for
sleep!"
"Are you sleepy, dear?" Kellinger
asked, in hurt tones. "What wouldn't
I give to feel that way!"
Whereupon Mrs. Kelllnger felt
ashamed of her desire to sleep and
read aloud from "The Theory of Hot
Water Heating" until she toppled
over, sound asleep.
Kellinger really suffered. He said
if it kept up much longer be would
! go crazy, he knew. All the Kelllngers'
friends were intensely interested In
the situation. By their advice Kel
! linger drank hot milk before retiring,
drank cold milk, put a hot water ba&
under his head and then an ice bag,
j stood on his head and walked on his
hands, breathed in' six times and out
six times, crossed hie fingers and
countod jumping sheep.
When they were out in the even
ing Mrs. Kellinger had the habit of
watching her husband nervously, and
If his eyelid twitched she would grab
the person next to her and moan:
"Tom is going to have another sleep
less night!" she would Say. "He is
getting the blinks! Poor man! I
don't know what is going to beqpme
of him! Isn't it awful! Dearie!" to
the afflicted one, "alt over here where
you won't get the cigar smoke ? it
makes you nervous, I know!" ?
All of this happened before the ar
rival of Mrs. Shandle, who had known
Kelllnger at the disillusionizing age
of ten, and had never outgrown the
habit. The first time she was present
at one of these sad exhibitions she
transfixed the Kelllngers with a dis
gusted glance and spoke her mind.
"Stuff and nonsense, Tommy Kel
linger!" said she0 "I never heard of
such tomfoolery! I never saw a per
son put on the airs you do! Are you
any better than any one else that you
can't sleep as the rest of us do? You
say that your life is without reproaoh,
and if it is there's no excuse for youi
not sleeping. The idea! Smoke that
cigar and drink that cup of coffee and
go home and go to bed and go to
sleep! You're a perfect goose! 1
think the trouble is that your bead 4s
only blaymough for one idea at a time,
and youVe grown attached to thta
sleepless idea and hat? to . tell it to
move on. I'm ashamed of J^u! An4
your wife is an easy mark!*
"I think she is horribly rude!" Mra
Kellinger kept saying all the way
home. "She doesn't understand yotn
sensitive nature at all!"
"Huh?" queried Kelllnger ? and
yawned. Whereupon he went to sleei
?when his head touched the pillow and
Mrs. Kellinger bad to set the bulldop
loose on him in the morning to get
him up at all.
That ended Kellinger's Insomnia.
