SHERLOCK HOLMES PARALLEL.
How a Red Indian Years Ago Tracked =
Thief.


How a Red Indian Years Ago Tracked
Thief.
A most remarkable literary coincidence
Is pointed out by writer in Literature"
who says 1T would be interesting to know
II DR.. Conan Doyle, before creating Sher-
lock Holmes, had read certain aneodote
recorded by the Jesuit traveller Charlevoix,
who died in 1881. The story is of red
Indian from whose wigwam a piece of
meat had been stolen and who promptly
set out in pursuit of the thief. He had
not proceeded far before he met with some
persons of whom he inquired whether
they had seen O little old white man with
a short gun, accompanied by small dog
with short tail. Asked how he could
thus infinitely describe a man whom he
had never seen, the Indian answered.:
1.-THE thief know is little man by his
having made pile of stones to stand upon
in order to reach the venison; that he is
an old man 1 know by his short steps,
which have traced over the leaves in the
woods, and that he is white man know
by his turning out his toes when he walks.
which an Indian never does His gun I
know to be short by the mark the muzzle
made in rubbing the bark off the tree on
which it leaned; that his dog is small I
know by his tracks, and that he has a
short tail I discovered by the mark it
made in the dust where he was sitting at
the time his master was taking down the
meat
This certainly Is SO much like the ratio
oination of Sherlock Holmes that it almost
reads like a parody Of it.-Philadelphia

SQUIRE WATERsoN's BED.
He slept In an Oak Dugout With a Block
Pillow.

Pillow.
An old highland chief, finding his
Youngest son, mere boy, sleeping on the
battlefield with hinge SNOWFALL under his
head, kicked it away, exclaiming: what
do We want wi pillow? I'll nae such
efeerninaoy in my family" A similar
aversion to "efeeminacy" marked Charles
Waterson, an English squire, who in early
life had wandered through many lands,
rs a naturalist, intent on making collec-
lions of birds, Reptiles, insects and wild
beasts
The bedroom where the squire slept
and also prepared the specimens In his
natural history collection was in the roof
and open to the rafters. Across stretched
rope was thrown striped blanket and his
working clothes The furniture was rough,
coarse and scanty-an old deal table, three
crazy chairs, deal clothespress and q
chest of drawers. The floor, deal boards,
was uncarpeted.
Mrs. Byrne, who narrates the incident
In her volume, "Social Hours With Celeb
rifles on surveying 1t remarked on the
anomaly of q bedroom lacking bed.
GIVE long learned that bed is useless
luxury" said the squire, drawing from
corner an oblong block of oak, 2 feet long,
10 inches wide, inches deep, followed
and polished in the middle. Then he
pulled down the striped blanket, rolled 1t
around him and lay down on the bare
boards, resting his head ON tile block.
.'There, that's my bed IT'S soon made,
and I'll answer for it none Of you sleep
more soundly than I.
For 80 years the block and blanket had
been the squires bed, summon and win
ter, in health and sickness. When travel
ing, as he couldn't carry about his timber
pillow, he used the best substitute he could
devise. Once he was Mrs. Byrne's guest
in London and, as usual, retired to rest at
8 O'Clock. The German maid, not suppos-
ing that he had retired at SO early an hour,
went into the bedroom to take in the can
of hot water. She gave scream and
rushed out The next morning her mis-
tress asked for an explanation.
zach, veil may you askl vent into de
room, and vat did see? A long body roll
up in a blanket on de floor, and cray
head on portmanteau.
