Exnosine a Fraud,

Dishonest holders of accident insur-
ancs policies frequently put the COM
panies' physicians to needless trouble
by claiming damage for tri1ing hurts.
which under the law entitle them to
nothing. Some deliberately practice
fraud, says a physician quoted in the
Atlanta Journal, and pretend to have
ailments when they are sound in ev-
cry part.
A few days ago, says the physician,
I was summoned to hospital to ex-
anime a man who pretended to have
had his hearing totally destroyed by
the premature explosion of a blast.
I had an idea from the start that the
man was shamming, but all the tests
that could apply seemed to show
that he was stone deaf. Still l was not
satisfied, and resolved to try little
strategy.
Coaching the nurse beforehand how
to act entered the room hastily and
cried: "Quick. quick! The fire extin-
guisher! Where is it? Never mind
the deaf man! Save yourself!''
Then we both rushed to the door;
but the patient was quicker than we
were, and got out before US. He had
the good sense, however, to realize
that the game was up, and he never
appeared again.

A Genial Encounter.

The tsar's last visit to France has
filed the French papers with reminis-
cences Of his former stay.
One day he drove incognito to the
house of Loubet, then president of the
senate, and while his companion went
in to announce the visit, he amused
himself by putting his head out Of the
window and looking at the people who
passed.
A whistling street boy approached
and recognized him, in spite of the
plainness of his equipage. He stopped,
took Off his cap and said, cheerfully,
"Good day, sir! How is the empress p
The tsar was naturally surprised, but
he replied, with smile:
Thanks, young man. The empress
is quite well, and has enjoyed the trip
very much"
The boy seemed glad to hear it, nod
ded, and went whistling away. The
tsar said, in telling the story, that he,
thus cordially accosted, was the only
one of the two to be embarrassed.

DOGS AS SCOUTS

Would Be Useful in Fighting Natives
of Jungle Countries.
Captain Steele, of the Sixth Infan-
try, after an experience of the condi-
tions Of warfare in the Philippines,
strongly urges that dogs should be at
tached to the army. In the Army and
Navy Journal he expresses the opin-
ion that dogs are the only scouts that
can secure a small detachment against
ambush on the trails through these
tropical jungles.
The bush is so dense that flankers
are out of the question; and trails are
so crooked and over such rough ter
ritory that the point, at one or two
hundred yards, is out Of sight of the
main party. The insurgents, lying in
ambush usually, or often, let the point
pass and open with yolley upon the
wagons and main body of the escort.
They open from apparently impene-
trable jungle, and at a range from
thirty to two hundred yards. They
fire one Or two volleys, then usually
run away. Sometimes never man
Of them can be seen.
The dogs, pointers or hounds, would
need little training. Their instincts
for hunting and shifting in every hole
and corner would be sufficient to JUS
tify their use.
Captain Steele possesses a dog nam
ed Done. and asserts that up to the
date of writing no detachment with
which 1t has been out has fallen into
an ambuscade.
"He went with US last winter OF
General Schwan's long southern cam
