An UngratefuI Egyptian.

The first wounded man l attended to was
an Egyptian, whose moans were piteous, and
on examination Ifound him severely wounded
in the belly. poured some eau de cologne
down his throat and used my own surgical
bandage to bind Sd his wound so as to keep
the flies from it, Then lit a cigarette, put
it in his mouth, placed more beside him, and
gave him drink of water He kissed my
hand and muttered something about allah. ="
had not left him far when | heard the crack
of rife and bullet whizzed by my ear.
Looking round, I saw the smoke of the shot
drifting away from where my wounded man
lay, and noticed that he was quietly taking
aim at me again.
He had time to fire a second shot, which
also missed me, before l reached him, and
had no compunction in driving the life out Of
him with my bayopet, remarkng to myself
as l took the weapon out of him for the last
time, ''Yo ou won't come that game any more,
you ungrateful brute!' Many such instances
of this treacherous hate occurred. l myself
had to wipe out four more wounded Egyp-
tians whom caught in the act of firing at
our men after they had passed. To run the
bayonet into man who is down one feels TO
be hardly the thing, and it was done reluct-
antly; but in such cases as 1 have described
it was clear act of compulsory duty

A Strange Theory.

Traces of arsenic in the stomach after
death are by no means certain indications of
murder or suicide" said q prominent st.
Paul attorney.
do you believe innocent parties have been
convicted on such evidenceN inquired a re-
porter.
Il do, most assuredlv. I am by no means
posing as a medical expert, but l have a
theory, founded more upon many practical
illustrations than upon science, that every
human body contains a certain amount OF
arsenic, which Immediately after death con
centrates or crvstalizes in the stomach. This
theory is huttreSSed by the fact that, so far.
/ have never known a body exhumed and
dissec5ed for the purpose of satisfying inquiry
into the question of the cause Of death in
which a certain amount of arsenic was not
found.
Il remember a case in which q man was
arrested and accused Of having poisoned an
other man with strychnine, in which all the
evidence upon which the prisoner was held 70
trial was based on the purchase by him Of
stTychnine, and then the results of a post
mortsIn examination revealed only traces OF
arssnical poisoning. Were I a juryman in a
murder trial Of this kind l would attach bus
little weight 70 the mere fact Of arsenic being
found n the victims stomach. believe Ii
exists in certain varying quantities in ths
stomach Of every adult corpse. st Paul

hands employed in twenty-six mills went
out out on a strike this morning and great
crowds of men gathered about the streets
to discuss the situation. The crowd was
augmented by 5000 strikers from Boubax,
another manufacturing town a short dis
tance from Tourcoing, who marched en-
masse into the latter place and soon all
hands began to show an ugly feeling which
eliminated in a serious riOting which was
in progress at noon, the time the dispatch

been summoned to aid the authorities in
restoring order.
