The De,diy Grasp of the BertIlOn sys-


young man who had been arrested one
morning for theft, was called upon and
measured then and there. The process is
carried out by two men, one of whom APP
plies the instruments and calls ont the fig
u-es, which are entered on a card by the
other, precisely as in a talors shop. The
subject is barefooted and bareheaded. The
measurements are taken in four minutes,
together with the height standing, the
height sitting, the length of the arms ex-
tended, the length and breadth of the ear.
This finished, NJ. Bertllon, card in hand,
Intercepted the prisoner:
"What is your namep'
"Albert Felix"
"Have you ever been up before?''
mo, never"
"Quite sure"
Perfectly sure, with jaunty confidence.
AS the young scoundrel was the leader
of a band that seemed highly improbable.
He was removed, and we proceeded to
the search. Section after section of the
drawers were rapidly eliminated by com
pairing the figures upon them with those
on NJ. Felix's card. At last we came to a
single drawer, and then down to two cards.
If he were there at all it must be one of
these. A look at the first at once showed
discrepancies of one or more millimetres
/ under some of the headings, and as the
bony measurements are accurate to a mil
| limetre it could not be this one. There re-
manned one card. NJ. Bertillon took it up,
hiding the photograph on it.
All the figures corTesponded exactly with
| those Just taken of Felix. He was re-
called and again questioned. He repeated
! his former statements, but obviously with
| less confidence. NJ. Bertillon uncovered
| the photograph, and there the fellow
was to the life as he stood that moment be-
fore us. 1t was most startling. But the
original OF the photograph was called AL
fred Louis Lemaire, and he had been in
Jail two years before. The card bore de-
tails of certain scars and marks on hand
and body: they correspondent exactly with
those on Felix. Our friend, the detective,
edged up and watched the prisoner with
professional delight. Again questioned
Felix stuck to his story, but his cOmpos-
ure was gone: his eye was troubled, his
lips trembled, and the muscles Of his face
twitched. The photograph was shown
him. "Who is that?''
Not me; some one like me''-but very
shaky.
This is Alfred Louis Lemaire, and h,
was arrested etc.
The fellow was down i'm an instant, as
limp as wet paper. "Oi cest mon nom,
adding, IL knew you would find it,"
The astonishing thing was that out o
that great room full of cards not a singl,
one correspondent or anything like CORE
sponded with the measurements of tn
youth before us, except this particular on
his own. Mistake is possible

a Different spirit Would Build up the
Deserted Places.
lFrom the Norti ampton Herald

LFTpHl tnt NtTli dllpton iltIdl
One would think from the crowd of set
tiers that swarmed into Oklahoma that the
only good land in the United States was in
that section. Right here in New England
are better farms and cheaper land than can
be found IN that lonely region. The man
who gets anything out of Uncle Sam pays
for what he gets. The farmers here are
infinitely better off than the settlers in the
''wid and woody West" who are always
on the move TO get something for nothing.
Farms can be purchased here for less than
what the buildings cost, and that cannot
be said of Oklahoma. 4 man will 90 out
there, live in by 9 shanty, 40 miles
from nowhere, put up with all sorts of in
conveniences and think he is making
something. If the same spirit would an
innate Fasteners it would not take long to
build up the deserted places.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says that the
many New England people who have burn
ed their fingers in Western land boOms will
envy Miss Nellie Hayden of Denver her
phenomenal luck. Eleven years ago she
was a salesgirl in Boston dry goods store.
She was persuaded to invest all her savings,
amounting to 500. in Denver real estate,
and by reinvesting her profits therefrom in
suburban property she has accumulated a
fortune of 100000.
