AS AN INDIAN DOES 1T.
Hunting for a Lost Object After the
Manner OF tho Plains.

Hunting for Lost Object After the
Manner OF tho Plains.
When you drop a small object on the
floor look Indian" and you're sure to
find it. Here is the modus operandi,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Somebody dropped stickpin in the
hall the other day and had hard work
to find it. She hunted high and low,
and on her hands and knees, and with
candle specially procured for the pur-
pose, but it was no use; the pin was
very tiny and unperceivable, Its value
being that of association rather than
size or brilliancy. The somebody
after final shake of the rugs, was just
about to give it up for her when one Of
the children CHANGED to come along.
why don't you look Indian for it7"
he asked. Before the somebody real
lied what was meant down dropped the
youngster on the floor, his head and his
whole body lying sidewise and just az
close to the dead level as possible. In
this position his eyes roved rapidly
over the floor. Il have it." he shout
ed presently, and sure enough, right in
the middle of the floor, in so plain Q
place that it had escaped notice, was
the missing stickpin. The youngster
then explained that looking Indian"
meant putting the head to the ground
in order to catch sight OF the smallest
object between oneself and the horizon.
They do it on the plains all the time,
he said That's why they can always
tell who's coming. But it works In
houses just as we'll as on the plains.
Why we never lose anything in the
nursery nowadays; we just look IN
dian and find it right of"

Detective Badly Treated.

Redkey: John Walker, OF Green
vile, o.. has been in this vicinity for
several days, looking after stolen hors-
es. He is employed by the Darke
County (Ohio) Horse Thief Detective
association. and he recently recovered
two valuable horses belonging to Abra-
ham McNutt of Preble county, Ohio,
and arrested the thief. in which way he
struck a trail which led him into Jay
county, this state. The supposed horse
thief. whom Welker had arrested, es-
capped from the Eaton co. Jail, and
later Welker saw him in the vicinity
OF this city, and, accompanied by Pa
trolman Billwriter, attempted to run
him to cover. While passing through
a dense woods the men separated to
go around a pond of water, and Welker
had scarcely proceeded 800 feet before
he was rendered unconscious by blow
on the head. When he recovered con-
seriousness, he found himself bound and
gagged and blind-folded and in a wa
gon, which was being driven along the
highway. Three men were in the wa
gon, engaged in a controversy over
what disposition to make of their pris-
oner, one of them persisting in killing
MIN. Eventually his captors lifted him
from the wagon, and, after carrying
him short distance, threw him into
an unused gravel pit, ten feet or more
in depth. In the fall two of his ribs
were broken. and he was otherwise Sc
verely hurt. The fall loosened the gag,
and he was enabled to cry for help until
he was overheard and rescued by DR..
Nation. Welker is confident that the
thieves are quartered in a cave near
where he was captured, and he proposes
to continue the hunt as soon as he has
recovered.

Diagnosing Disease.

A medical man, far ahead of his
pathy and his training, unable accu-
rately to diagnose a disease which had
for long time baffled him, tried an ex-
pertinent. Being an expert bacteriolo-
gist, and knowing by sight the ilfinit-
esimal atoms that live to destroy hui
man life, he put the patient into Rus
sian bath, allowed him to remain I'M
til he was drenched with perspiration,
and then scraped his skin to secure, if
possible, through the emulation a suffi-
cient number of bacilli to enable him
to determine the nature of the ailment
from which his patient suffered. So
many to the square inch meant danger,
and by simple process of mathematic-
al calculation, he soon discovered the
enemy that was sapping the strong
holds of life. He estimated that mil
lions Of bacilli were washed out of the
body by those streams of perspiration.
Having established this as fact, he
made 1t his practice to examine all
obscure cases in the same way. If the
system is Overcharged with bacilli and
the perspiration furnishes courses up
on which they float from the body,
surely this ought to be one of the
most accurate methods of diagnosing
doubtful cases. That the perspiration
of human beings Is poisonous is an ad-
mitted fact. Small animals are readily
killed by simultaneous injections of
perspiration collected after violent ex-
ercise

that my presence in Troy was neces-

boarded the train with my grip. When
the conductor came through l asked II
