AN ANCIENT TRAGEDY.
Traces of Foul Deed of the Middle
Ages.

Traces of n Foul Decd of the Middle
Ages.
A curious discovery was recently made
by winc-growcr in the department. of
the Charcnte. Adjoining his property
arc the ruins of an ancient chateau,
which has been left to it's fate for
centuries. AS part of one of the walls
of this old pile showed symptoms of an
approaching collapse, the peasant OBJ
tanned permission to remove it, and a
few days ago he set to work to dcmolish
it.
After toiling for n couple of hours,
Says the Belfast News Letter, to his
ama2cmcnt he came upon two sllclc-
tons. the ncclls, arms and legs of which
had been tightly bound to each other by
iron links. They were in an erect posi-
ton and it was evident they were the
remains of mon who had boon immurc6
hundreds of years ago. The wine
grower lost no time in drawing the nc
tcntion of local antiquarians to his dis
covery, and careful investigation re-
vealcd further the presence Of frag-
mcnts Of clothing which had been re.
duced almost to dust, as we'll rs of q
rusty weapon and two pieces of wood.
The skeletons are to be placed in the
bordeaux museum, and great pains arc
being taken to insure their transport
thither in the same position rs that in
which they were found. There is no
doubt that some tragedy of the middle
ages, of which possibly some record
may survive, led to the confinement of
these unfortunate victims in the man
nor described r. Is. - r-,,ftor ~ oo,,,co
that the strange discovery is engaging
the attention Of antiquarians in that
part of Franco, and it is by no means
improbable that some clew to the mys-
terry may be forthcoming ere long.

shrewd Scheme by Which Long Vyinded
Orator Was Cholscd on.
good story is related in the Louis
vile Times of b. Lawlcss, former
member of the Louisville bar He was
long MINDED" talllcr, and when he
arose to make an argument he didn't
know when to stop. On one occasion
he was making speech before Judge
Ballard in the United States court. lie
had spoken for several hours, and the
judge and everybody else were thor
oughly tired out, though they were
helpless. At last Judge Ballard beck
oned his brother Jack Ballard to him
and implorcd him to stop Lawlcss if he
could.
"Oh, that's easy enough" replied the
brother. I'll stop him inside of three
minutes"
There was n great deal of curiosity
to see how this could be accomplished,
as the orator seemed to be nowhere
near the end of his speech. Jack Bal
lard took q pencil and sheet of paper
and wrote:
"My Dear Colonel: AS soon as YOU
finish your magnificent argument
would like you to join me in the clerks
office in. bumper of fine old bour-
bon"
The note was handed to the orator,
who paused at the end of soaring pc
Rod, drew his glasses from his pocket
and read the note. He put it in his
pocket, and said:
And now, If it please your honor,
and You gentlemen Of the jury, leave
the case with you"
lie picked up his hat and was in the
clerks Office in about n minute.

TO BE q DETECTIVE.

Necessary Qualifications for That Perilous
Calling.
man to be n good detective must be
born so. lie may acquire much useful
knowledge i'll connection with the bust
ness, but to be Il successful officer from
every point of view he must have nat
ural ability, says the New York Jour
nal. His knowledge of human nature
Is an important factor in his makeup.
Then he must be u good schcmer and
have plenty of executive ability. He
must be able to deceive, and in this re-
spect his capabilities arc little less than
those of an actor. A detective, like wine,
grows better with age and experience.
The wider knowledge he has of Grim
inals and the manner in which they
have been caught, the moro valuable
are his services.
His knowledge of human nature is
mostly acquired, but his perceptibilitics
must be such by nature that he will
have no trouble in reading character
Take an old-timc detective and he will
not be long in telling you the character
OF = man by merely looking at him and
hearing him talk few minutes. A
mere glance is often sufficient. He has
in his mind large rogue's gallery of
criminals whom lie has seen in his
work as n detective, and whom he will
never forget. They are never lost
sight of until they are landed behind
the pcnitentinry walls, and when they
have ended their terms the authorities
are notified and arc once moro on the
lookout for them and any dcprcdations
they may commit.
good detective knows by sight
every well-lSnown crook in the country
lie has his description and his photo
graph, and if. seen in crowd acting
suspiciously at any time, in Il twinllling
he is in the clutches of the law
