for pursuing the study; and lastly, how
best to stir up interest in the subject. On
the last point he held that the end could
only be gained by means of a convention
composed of women possessing the follow
ing qualifications: Thorough appreciation
Of the Importance of Bible study; the per-
sonal habit of pursuing such study; the
ability 10 enlist others in It, and the willing
ness TO devote their time In familiariZing
themselves with the best methods to adopt.
In concluding the speaker recommended
the holding of at least one meeting by the
association every year for the purpose of
talking about Bible study, at which some
good speaker should dwell on the Importance
of ii. He would also recommend the plan
or fiye-mnute speeches, in which the mem
beIs should give testimony on the import
ance of the study from their own points of
view, after which the Chairman could state
the methods which the association would
adopt the following year.

DETECTIVE WORK.
How the sleuth Hounds OF the Land of
Climate Are Kept Busy.


Climate Are Kept Busy.
Los Angeles Times
The police were notified that q man was
killing his wife on Wolfskll avenue, near
the Arcade depot, and Detective Bosqui
was ordered to jump into his well-knowD
cat-like tread aud hurry to the seat Of the
trouble
The able French detective was not long In
boarding an electric car and quicker than a
fash found himself hu frying over the outer
walls of Donna Juana Bistonta' adobe
palace. All was quiet inside, but the thief
takers instinct is always with him, and he
knew some kind of a crime was being COM
mitted inside the walls Of the old palace, so
he lost no time in forcing an entrance. The
old lady, who, by the way, earOs her living
by taking In washing, as her fortune has
long since departed, was found in the rear
Of the old adobe, and in broken English and
a tamale breath she explained why the
police had been sent for.
She has no husband at present, but for
some months past she has had in her en-
plOy an old man named Rose, who assists
her about the house for his board. Shortly
before the police were sent for the ancient
washerwOman ordered Rose TO go out and
bring In some wood.
He soon found his way to the Southern
Pacific tracks and gathered up a couple of
old ties, which he packed over to the house.
His mistress was tickled to death over his
good luck and straightway ordered him to
chop it up into stove wood.
The old man was tired or something, and
Informed his mistress that she could chop
the wood herself and in a very few seconds
battle was in full progress. The old man
came out victorious and 10 get even he
picked the logs up and carried them to an
clubhouse, where he locked them up.
The old lady did not want him arrested
for battery or anything of that kind. She
simply wanted an officer to hold him while
she released the logs, as she had an idea that
she owned them and she did not propose to
have her servant keep her own property
away from her.
The detective informed her that he could
do nothing and took his departure.

For hours the search was kept up and
nearly all hope of finding her alive had
been abandoned, when, at about o'clock in
the morning, she was discovered near the
Tiyoli Gardens. She was in q fearful state,
of course. and almost dead from exposure

Mrs. Burns is nearly 70 years of age, and
