GREEK AND THE TURK.

The war news the past week
between the Greek and the
Turk has been an exciting one.
The battle of Larisa has been
fought to a finish and the Turks
have won. By the latest tele-
grams the Greeks are trying to
make another stand for battle
on the historic grounds of Phar-
salia. Here it was, Romans un
the consul Quintius Flavius de-
feated the Macedonians under
Philip, and here also in the 4sth
year before Christ, Julius Cea-
sar defeated his great rival and
kinsman Pompey, which VIC
tory meant the supremacy of
the world in those days. In
the present it is doubtfuli if the
Greeks can make a successful
stand against the overpowering
we'll drilled soldiers of the cres-
cent and scimetar. \ great
naval conflict is now hourly
looked for between the Greek
and Turkish navies, and in this
the Greeks have the advantage
both in number of war ships
and superiour armament and il
the Greeks loose in this sea
fight-without the intervention
Sof some other power in their
behalf the Hellenic cause goes
down.

Cussetlnesx illustrated,

Our readers will recollect of the praise
worthy act of Frank BLY, and Lynn Sper-
ry of Burnt Greek bottom. putting them
selves to much trouble and loss of time in
saving the lives of "a deer in the recent
food-an account of which. was published
in most of the local newspapers on the
Slope. William Mann. who has came
down from the upper country tells some
thing abont the other side of human ma
ture. The region aronnd the upper Mud
dy and up Culbertson way, has long en-
joyed the inevitable reputation of being
the homo of tho braggart and the domain
of the hardnut. They had gorges of ice
on the break up, and high water this
spring up that way as elsewhere IN the
Mississippi basin country. The wild deer
too, we're caught-as down hereabout by
ice fields cutting of their escape to high
or grounds. They had been hunted in
and ont of season by the iawless pot
hunter and the always-hun2ry coyote.
The deep snow had been their OILY bed
for months and when confronted with the
ice gorge they we're reduced to little more
than skin and bones. Near the mouth
of the upper Muddy band of II deer
we're cought IN an ice floe and after 36
hours in the xater managed to reach a
neck of land. They had lost temporarily
the use of their limbs and lay huddled on
the beach. About this time an old sinnet
by the name of BAH and two measly
brothsrs by the name of Mcbride went
up to the helpl ss animals, knocked them
IN the head and cut their throats. AZ the
flesh vas unfit for food and the hides ol
no market value, the act was cruel and
wanton and thee should be held amendable
there 10 any up that way.

Ireland and other distinguished person
ages. No tnan could get stronger endorse-

LACK ORIGINALITY.
Why Many Criminals Are Easily Brought
to Justice.

Why Many Criminals Are Easily Brought
to Justice.
Zone reason why detectives appear
to do something miraculous occasional,
ly is that there is after all very little
originality in criminals" said one OF
Chief Hazen's sleuthhounds recently.
when q man sets out to get money
by crooked means, he seldom sits down
and evolves a new plan On the con-
trary, he evidently thinks of the smart
cases he has heard of at different times,
makes up his mind which suits him
best and copies the plan adopted very
closely indeed.
Hence, when the detective sets out,
he has, in many instances, quite a
string of precedents to take as guides to
the course the criminal will probably
pursue.
Zone case, years ago, that helped me
immensely in the business, was torg-
cry. The man had disappeared and left
no clew whatever behind
* obtained access to his room and
found thai he had developed a partial
ity for cutting scraps from newspapers.
There was whole drawerful of these,
aId went through them carefully.
"Segeral had relation to forgery
cases, and one cutting that appeared to
be pretty badly fingered described how
forger had got away in woman's at
tire
Il worked ON the theory that my
bird had flown in this manner and fol.
lowed it up until l finally got on the
track and captured the criminal
1.-The capture was regarded as a very
remarkable one, but, as matter OF
fact, the runaway had left for me an
exceedingly valuable clew. If he had
taken the precaution to burn that cut
ting, he might have escaped capture al
together. Cincinnati Enquirer.

A Human bloodhound.

In Abyssinia they have very pictur-
esque fashion of identifying thieves.
There is an official nominated for the
purpose in each district. Upon receiv-
ing information Of a robbery he gives
his confidential servant dose of certain
herbs, afterward a pipe of tobacco.
The man drinks and then smokes. In
due course he begins to rave and to
crawl about ON hands and knees. Then
the thief catcher puts rope about his
loins, and on all fours he perambulates
the neighborhoOd, shifting like hound,
enters house at last and goes to sleep
upon the floor. That is legal evidence
of the owners guilt
He has to pay the value of the stolen
goods or to square the thief catcher,
which, as a rule, comes to much the
same thing
