THAT suggested a 0IfD03:S2I Scneme
Of assassination. which the doctor pro-
ceeded to put into execution. Repair,
ing to his Office. he made up a duplicate
tablet of strychnine, and, encountering
the colonel next day. asked him to let
him have the vial for a moment, so he
could copy the address of the makers
from the label.
"JODes handed it over unsuspecting
~. and while his attention was briefly
diverted elsewhere Smith put in the
prepared tablet. He placed it under
the top four. thus making it reason
ably certain that his victim would take
it on the fifth day from that date.
Next morning he left town. so as to
be far away when the tragedy was
cOnSummated, and some mysterious,
uncomfortable impulse evidently led
him to make the prediction that first
excited my suspicion.
when | made certain of all this, l
| located Smith in Oklahoma and was
on the point Of applying for an eXtradi-
| tiOn warrant when he anticipated me
by contracting pneumonia and dying.

mental pigeOnhOle. where it has re-
mained ever since"
Pardon me for asking" said one Of
the listeners. "but is that really 6 true
story. or are you entertaining Us with
interesting fiction"
''It is absolutely true" replied the
narrator
But how did you learn the particu-

Reading q Book.

A writer in the New York Medical
Journal says that the curved pages Of
the ordinary book are injurious to the
eye Of the reader. The curvature ne
eessitates constant change Of the TO-
Gus of the eye as it reads from one side
to another, and the ciliary muscles are
under a constant strain. Moreover,
the light falls unequally upon both
sides of the page, further interfering
with a continued clear field Of vision.
1t is suggested that the difficulty might
be obviated if the lines should be print
ed parallel to- the binding instead Of at
rtghI angles to it

The Song of the Yukon River.

'There is something peculiar about
the Yukon river that have never
heard Of in connection with any other
stream" said Captain Gray, who has
been running boats on the big Alaska
artery. From the mouth Of the Yukon
up as far as there is any navigable
water the stream is constantly sing
ing. No matter where you are, there
is a sound like that made by escaping
steam. At first used to think that
maybe it came from the boiler or en-
gines. But when we were tied up at
night, with everything cold, the sound
was the same. have puzzled my
brain to find an explanation Of the
phenomenon, but without avail. The
singing goes on day and night
when you get up stream some dis
tance, you can also hear the rocks
rolling over the bed Of the river, and
this produces a most peculiar sOund."-

The Door RemaiRed Open After q
Very FOrcIbIe Argument.
An old story is told of Joseph RObi-
dOux, the founder pf st. Joseph, that
had its origin in Holt county in the
early settlement Of that section. The
trader who started tie city was re-
turning to st. Joseph with a number Of
red men. and they stopped with an ac-
quaintance of RObideuz's close to
the house. and Robisloux went in to re-
main overnight as! the guest of his
friend.
The settler clOsedithe front door aft
er they had retired, and RObidOuX, who
was used to sleeping in the open air,
went softly to it aid opened it The
owner of the house waited until Robi-
d0uX was in bed again, and the settler
closed it. That was repeated a dozen
times. The next: time that door is
closed there will be trouble" said the
man who had founded st. Joseph. He
resumed his couch with that.
The owner of the house closed the
door, and RObidOuX met him as he was
returning to his bed. They cIinched
and fought by thes light of the moon
that came in through the window. 1t
was a hard fight and lasted q long
time, but at last RGf1idOuX had the set
tier on his back and sat aStride of him.
He tangled his hands in his hair and
bumped his head against the puncheon
floor. "Open or shqtY' he asked. The
settler struggled. but did not say a
word. His head vas bumped many
times, and the question was repeated.
Finally the settler was exhausted.
His head was bumped again, and RO-
bidOUX asked, open or Shut?'
"Open." answered. the settler, and
they went to bed with the door stand
ing vide open, admitting the fresh air.

why the Doctor Had a PremOnfttOD
That Misfortune Had Overtdken a
Wealthy Planter-HOvv the Story of
the Crime Leaked Out.
The story was told by police COM
missioner Of another city who was in
New Orleans recently on a visit.
"The most ingenious murder ever
knew anything about he said, was
committed by a young physician. He
was a rising practitioner at a place
where formerly lived, and, with your
permission, will speak Of him simply
as DR.. Smith.
about a. dozen years ago, as nearly
as remember, this young man went
on a visit to q relative in a neighbOr-
ing city, and one afternoon, on the
third or fourth day of his stay, he
startled a lady member Of the house

Ing that some misfortune had over
taken a wealthy planter whom they
both knew very well, and whom will
call Colonel Jones. The colonel was a
prominent resident of the doctors
home town and had a large outlying
estate, which he was in the habit of
visiting once a week.
''On the day of Smiths singular pre-
monition he was on one of those tours
Of inspection, but failed to come back,
and the following morning his corpse
was found lying in a corlfeld. He
had evidently been dead about "a
hours, and from the appearance Of the
body seemed to have been seized with
some sort of fit or convulsiOn.
"Of course the affair created a great
stir, and the police made a pretty
thorough investigation, but the only
thing they found that merited any
special attention was a small, round
vial in the dead mans vest pocket. 1t
was about the diameter of a lead pen

The game of golf was put down by

inflicted on people who were found
guilty Of playing the game, for it inter-

men preferred welding the club to

A sLUMEER SONG.

Sleep, my beloved. To sleep and dream is best
The night to US is peace. the day unrest,
For day, while parted. brings to Us but pain;
In dreams We live the Gear past o'er again.
We weep not in pur sleep;
Our tears for the day,
Which smiles, while but weep,
For thou art far away.
flushed be the voices of the garish day.
Its frets and cares and sUrrows swept away;
Forgotten quite the interval Of years
Since last we met, with all their bitter tearA.
Sleep, love-. To slream is best.
Our waking is ;but rain;
In sleep alone We rest
And live the past again.
Sleep, my dear love, and be thy dreams Of mel
Waking or sleeping, still think of thee,
But dreams make present time of all the past;
The night restores thee-SWould my dreams might
lastl
Dream, dear, till'the day breaks
And earthly shadows fee,
Where morn to grief ne'er wakes
And be one with thee.
