Rev. DR.. Williams, in his "Middle
Kingdom" says that the Chinese in
the vicinity OIL canton, lTOIIl WHO'LL are
recruited nearly all of the pig-tailed
immigrants to this country, have a
remarkable appetite for cats. One
frequently sees pussies hanging, nice

as to be almost appetizing. They are
kept alive in the shops, too, in cages
ready for killing. Because they are
so prolific and find SO much of their

where the unrccognized dead are ex.
posed for identified ton. Aside from the
morbid crowd which is drawn to such q
place by uncanny curiosity, you will
find that each corpse is anxiously
scanned by numbers of people, each of
whom is seeking missing friend or
relative. At the most each body can
furnish the key to only one mystery.
Then what of the scores, ay, the hun
dreds of others?"
After short pause, he continued:
''No; murder will not out-at least
not when the criminal is what might
call professional, man of genius in
his vocation, educated, intelligent, dis
passionate, scientific. Fortunately for
the reputation of the detective, anna
teur and professional, the genius in the
criminal line is necessarily of modest
and retiring disposition. He cannot
call the public attention to his ingenu-
ity and skill; he cannot puff his achieve
msnts in the daily press. Not only are
his masterpieces unsigned, but they re-
main forever unheard of. The detec-
tive is known only by his successes;
the criminals reputation is based sole
ly upon his failures"
DR.. Murdoch delivered this parting
shot with the cool deliberateness which
was characteristic of the man. The in
solent irony of his words was empha-
sized by the calmness of his bearing.
II say, DOCTOR" laughed Sprague,
''you have missed your vocation. You
should have adopted the profession of
scientific criminal yourself. You seem
to possess the theory of the science as
it is, and little experience would no
doubt have made you an adept in the
practice as WELL"
A look of mild amusement passed
over Murdock's countenance.
perhaps you are right, Mr.. Sprague.
At any rate, think I may affirm, with
out overweening conceit, that if had
followed the course you suggest,
could have prepared for your friend
Mr.. Sturgis some pretty little problems
on which to sharpen his wits. I feel
that could have been an artist as well
as scientist in that line"
"You might console yourself by writ
ing an interesting and valuable book,
under some such title as Hints to the
Young Criminal or Crime as Fine
Art At all events, your criminals of
genius have stanch advocate in you.
But what on earth have the detectives
done to you to call forth this whole

can pick up any daily paper and from
it's columns select an unsolved riddle,
to which no detective on the face of the
earth can give the answer. Have any
taker, gentlemen"
AS he spoke, his eyes met Sturgis' and
suddenly seemed to flash with an earn
est defiance, which instantly melted in
to the calm, cynical smile of the man
of the world.
"Done," said Sturgis, quietly.
"Very we'll, Mr.. Sturgis," observed
DR.. Murdoch, indifferently. II shall
confne myself to the columns of your
own newspaper for the selection of the
problem upon which you are to work.

smile, you are at liberty to fix the

"Hear! heart" exclaimed a young
broker. "This is becoming interesting,
and promises some sport for those of

I, for one, am willing to lay reasonable
odds on the side of law and order, as
represented by the enlightened press,

parently unappreciated individual?"

CHAUTAUQUA.

The program given by the
Pierian Circle at it's meeting held
Sunday afternoon was conclusive
proof of the ability and wiling
ness Of the members to respond
with interesting numbers upon
short notice. This was rendered
necessary owing to the fact that
several members resigned unex-
pectedly.
An extremely interesting dis
cussion was had upon the interest
manifested in the circle by the
members, the ACCESSIBILITY of con-
tinuing the Mock Congress and
also in regard to adjourning for
the summer. By large majority
it was decided to continue the
Mock Congress. By an over
whelming majority, there being
but one negative vote, it was de-
cided not to adjourn for the sum-
mer but to continue our meetings.
The interest in the circle is as
high today as at any time and it
would be we'll to drop the discus
sion of this nature as it only tends
toward view of the matter which
is not warranted by the program.

WOMEN'S PATRIOTIC
LEAGUE.

Last Sundays chapel exercises
consisted of a patriotic nature. A
committee of the Women's Patri-
otto League of Minnesota we're
present and brought with them
facsimile of the Declaration of
Independence, handsomely framed
and embellished by being lastly
surrounded by the Stars and
Stripes.
Warden Reeve acted as master
of ceremonies and announced that
the dedication exercises would be
opened by the audience singing
one Of our national hymns. He
then introduced the lady speaker
who exhaustively reviewed the work
of the Women's Patriotic League,
which has it's organizations in
every city and town in the United
States. She explained that the
mission Of their society was not
only for the purpose of inspiring
patriotism in the hearts of the
rising generation by introducing
patriotic songs, flags and literature
in the curriculum of the public
schools, but to lend material as
sistance to the discharged soldier.
In this respect she said that the
sick and impoverished alike were
visited and furnished the neces-
saries of life in order to make the
few remaining years of their life
as pleasant as they possible can.
Such examples Of unselfsh patri-
otism are widesweeping in their
nature, for it is just such indie
fatigable attentions as these ladies
are bestowing upon our warriors
that will encourage the Indifferent
to emulate the heroic courage of
our forefathers in protecting our
country. In her presentation
speech the speaker related an
anecdote in connection with the
signing Of the Declaration of In
dependence. She also wildly re-
called to our memory the proceed
ings governing that suspicious as
semblage and the personalities of
some of the actors in that memorial
drama.
Warden Reeve acknowledged
the gift in few well-chosen words
and spoke at length of the duty
the citizen owed to his country. A
school girl then delivered a very
pathetic recitation, which had it's
inspiration at the battle of Bunker
Hill. The exercises closed by the
entire audience singing America.
