ABOUT Pepper.

The value of pepper in cooking seems
to have been known long ago. Its use
as a medicine was common in the days
of Hippocrates, who applied it moist
ened with alcohol to the skin of his
patients. just as sugar and tea have
been in past times so dear as only to
be in reach of the wealthy. SO pepper
was in the middle ages a costly condi-
ment, So much was it valued that a
small packet was at that time deemed
a suitable present to offer a great per-
son. Common or black pepper is now
grown in many tropical countries. It
is a climbing plant some twelve feet
high, bearing fruit of bright-red
color, the size of a pea, which, when
dried, turns black.

These words, quoted by shat wise
King, Dan Solomon" in his wise and
warning proverbs, are as current now as
when thousands of years ago, they were
used to beguile into evil courses the young
and unwary men of far-Off Judea.
He who listens to them, and listening
believes, often finds that the @long Jour
ney" has extended no farther than to the
corner saloon, and that @the good man"
frequently returns at almost inopportune
times in a frenzy OF jealous rage, which
nothing but money, and liberal portion
of it, can alloy.
"Have they found the woman?" This
question which originated with an
ancient philosopher, who was asked to
unravel the mystery of a dark crime, has
assumed the form of a proverb, and is
propOunded whenever a well-masked
murder, or other fragrant breach OF the
law, occurs.
In her normal condition and proper
sphere, for purer and more honorable
than her complement, the "lord of
creation woman, when once degraded,
Gfalls like Lucifer," and renders probable

The latter made a responsive sign and
glided down the long stairway.
Five minutes later John Fellows was
walking down the street toward the
business center of the city.
He was a newcomer to Chicago. Two
months before he had arrived in the
Garden City bringing $4,000 in cash and
letters which had secured him a good
position in the Office of a LaSalle street
broker.
ESWindled again!" muttered he, paus-
ing on the third crossing, and looking in
vain for the promised "blonde woman.
"Pm two dollars out, and Pm glad Of it,
for hate women, anyway"
Just then a lady dressed in deepest
black, and closely yelled, emerged from
a iewelry store and walked west. AS
she passed him something fell from the
folds of her dress to- the sidewalk. II
proved to be a small jewelcase, which
the young man secured and then darted
after her.
"Beg your pardonl" said he, raising
his hat and offering the case
"Thank you, sir; very much"
AS she spoke she put aside her vel
and disclosed fair face and an abund-
ance of blonde hair.
The young man fairly recoiled, so in
tense was his surprise at the fulfillment
of the prophecy.
A conversation ensued in which she in

clans say that he is also injured internally,
and his chances for recovery are slight.
Adick has only been in the country a few
weeks and was stopping at the American
Hotel, corner of Van Buren, and Franklin
streets. Thursday night, while strolling
about the South Side, he was accOsted by
Sadie Carr and Kate Washington, who live
at $50 Sherman street. He accompanied
them TO their rooms. He started to leave
and they urged him 10 remain, and gave him
some drinks which, it is said, were drugged.
Becoming alarmed Adick arose to go, and
both women grabbed him and threw him to
the floor. He broke from them and made
for the door, only to find 1t locked. A des-
perate fight followed. In which the two
women We're more than match for the un-
sophisticated German. 1t was at this juno
ture that he thought of escape by the win
dow.
The women, Carr and Washington, were
arrested and lodged at the Armory station
TO await the result OF Adicl1's injuries.
The above is a clipping from recent
issue of one of the metropolitan daily
papers Of Chicago.
To the person who makes a practice
OF reading the local criminal happenings
OF great city items like this, though
often darker and more revolving, are as
commonplace as the weather report or
the promises OF cleaner streets.
While almost no end of Chicago's own
citizens fall easy victims to the wiles OF

"bunko-steercrS, "mock auctioneers,n

of other depraved people "who live by
their wits, it is the "countrymen" to
whom they look for their real harvest.
This is not because the farmers and
residents OF small towns and villages
lack the intelligence or caution Of their
more favored Getty cousins" but results
from want of experience and a conse-
quent ignorance of the ways of the
world" particularly those "ways which
are darK, and tricks which are vain"

the country visitor to carry his Hroll"
pinned up in the inside pocket Of his
vest, and to regard everybody and every
thing with suspicion and distrust, places
him in greater danger, since once thrown

been led to regard as city Of sharpers,
one straightforward, honorable man, in
consequence of which disarming Of his

WE at the Gui1lotina.

Some years ago it was still the Gus
tom in France to conduct condemned
criminals through gaping crowds of
idle spectators to the public guillotine.
On one such OCCASION the unfortunate,
seated upon his coffin in the cart, heard
a would-be wit in the crowd remark to
a companion:
"Wel1, I'll bet that fellow don't feel
much like laughing"
The coarse attempt at joke stung
the prisoner. and when he arrived at
the scaffold he asked that the proceed
confession to make.
Although I denied it at my trial, I
had accomplces in the crime for which
I have been sentenced, and there"
pointing to the joker, "is one of them
now"
Great excitement ensued and the
party designated was seized by the
gendarmes with no gentle hands. Out
of the confusion somebody managed to
drag order, and the wit was placed on
the scaffold beside his accuser.
Such a fearful case of abject terror
as the joker presented was never wit
messed in that somber locality. After
enjoying his helpeless fright for few
moments the fated convict said to the
official in charge:
HE tried to make sport of my suf-
ferings, but the man is innocent. And
as soon as he seemed to be sure that it
was no laughing matter for me to be
here, I was curious to see how such a
funny fellow would laugh under SINH
lar circumstances himself"

No Mans Land.

When one speaks of @No Mans
Land" we generally presume that he
refers to that little neck of land in the
Indian Territory, lying between Colo
RADIO and Kansas on the north, and
Texas on the south. But such is not
always the case. The original "No
Mans Land" is little tongue of land
extending a few miles south of the
Mason and Dixon line, between the
States OF Maryland and Delaware.
Every now and then somebody starts
the story that this tract is, properly
speaking, part of no State, literally out
of the jurisdiction of the United States !;
that it is one of the leftover pieces of
the whole country. wherein no one
ow, the ground upon which he lives.
On the maps the ground is credited to
Pennsylvania, but, according to these
same authorities, the claim is a
shadowy one. This triangular bit of
territory was marked off in q curious
way. The eastern boundary of Mary
land was early determined, but the
southern boundary of Pennsylvania was
long a matter of dispute. Finally Ma
son and Dixon began their work at the
eastern boundary of Maryland and pro-
ceeded westward, while the northern
boundary of Delaware was declared to
be semi-circle, whose center was New
Castle. In surveying the semi-circle
if was found that the circumference
did not touch the boundary of Mary
land at its junction with the Pennsy1-
vania line, thus giving rise to this tri-
angular bit of land, which has been
discarded by the three States and only
allowed to attach itself to Pennsylva-
mia for Judicial purposes.-,St. Louis

Some years ago a murder occurred at
the Palmer House, in which the four ele-

John Fellows, that of Charlie Stiles was
fully investigated and the smallest do

on West Madison street The speaker
was tall, dark, black-haired woman of
uncertain age, who sat before a table
upon which number of playing-cards
were arranged in the form Of cross.
Her name, as given in her advertise
ment, was Madam RoW-Sattay, from
Bengal, India, %the seventh daughter of
a seventh daughter" Her only com
panion was a weIl-dressed and handsome
though demonstrating young man, who
sat opposite, with his back to the one
door of the room.
"But want to learn how the wheat
market is going to turn" demonstrated
the latter. "I'm not concerned with
women"
@But you must be; you cannot fight
destiny, Mr.. John Fellowsi"
Forgetful of the fact that his name
was written in bold letters on the lining
Of the hat he had just handed her, the
young man stared at the fortune-teller
in open-mouthed wonder.
"Im not limited to what I see in the
cards, explained the madam. 81 am a
medium as well. Wheat will go high,
very high, but you win not buy. Your
fortune, great one, will come through
a blonde woman. As you pass down the
street you will encounter her at the third
crossing. You will know her by her
first words: Thank you, sir; very
much.'D
The seventh daughter" raised her
hand. The motion was graceful and
made a decided impression upon Eel
lows. 1t also served as a signal to a
fair-heired young woman, who at that
moment appeared at the half-open door.

her in a buggy. Wearied with her long
tramp, and burning with all the vengeful
rage of her impetuous race, she pur-
chased a revolver, and early the
following morning entered the Palmer
House, where Stiles made his home.
Claiming to be telegraph boy with a
message, she induced him to open the
door of his room, and after a brief col
loquy, shot and killed him.
After one OF the most sensational
trials in the long list of Chicago's noted
criminal record, in which her defense
was emotional insanity" Sturlata was
convicted and sentenced to one year in
the penitentiary. She served her term
with all the bearing of a martyr.
She was endowed with rare musical
gifts, and upon her release some ardent
sympathizer sent her to Europe to cult
vate her talents and prepare for the
stage.

every nook and corner of the building.
They thrust their bills into the culver

wooden blankets quarter of an inch

their merciless attacks there was no

be scarcely discernible with the naked

afternoon asked permission to go to
Lansing "to see sick sister" It was
grudgingly granted, and went to re-

A couple of weeks after that I met
the fireman in Chicago. He, too, had
succumbed, and his face resembled
that of one suffering in the last throes
of the BARRIERS itch. He informed me
that the conductor and engineer would
endeavor to "do full time" on the
Branch" rather than lose their posi-
lions with the company. Ihave never
seen one of them since, though I have
often wondered if it were possible for
civilized white men to remain in that
miniature sheol for three months and
still preserve the semblance of sanity.
