whistle which was neither tune nor
a noise to be heard very far away.
So, truthfully, Caleb "breathed'
whistle, meanwhile standing with the
same curveless and stubby finger
placed beneath the puzzling circle. He
tilted forward and backward on his
toes. In a moment he stood motion
less, lowered his chin to his chest, and,
with final wheezy wnistle-looking
not at the Squire, but straight at the
circle-he said:
Il think-I think that's cheese got
by--er, um-m-let me see" Caleb
now had to remove his hat, and with
his free hand was exploring the bushy
depths of his hair for some recollec'
ton of the obtuse transaction. AS a
matter of fact, the partnership did not
involve cheeses. But the Squire hest
tated to make any blunt interruption
of Caleb's MISUNDERSTOOD process OF
recollection. He finally risked saying
quietly:
I'VE haven't sold cheeses, have we,
since-why, l don't remember that
we've had any since" The Squire
gave to his eyes far-away, reflective
look, and mentally hoped Caleb soon
would recall the item.
That's so, we hewitt, hev We"
slowly observed Caleb who had not
removed his glance from the 90" mo,
we hevnt had no cheeses, that's GER

Patiently the Squire had been wait
ing. With his pencil he had been abb
systematically marking a dot on a
piece of paper before him. The black
dot saved the day. 1t was uncon-
sciously made, but it gave Caleb the
suggestion he wanted. though it was
not in his nature to lose his restraint.
He remarked very composedly:
That's grindstone, and Bruce Car.

got to mark the hole into it."
The Squire knew his associate too

by making any comment on the pres
ent instance. All he said was, "Oh,
yes" with an emphasis meant to in
dictate it all was as plain as daylight
which it was not.

Compliments Were Deserved.

DR.. w. w. Keen of Philadelphia has
great repute as a surgeon. In New
York one winter afternoon last year
he saw a man slip on an icy pavement
and fall heavily. He fastened to the
poor fellows assistance and found
that he had broken his leg.
DR.. Keen used his umbrella as a
splint, and with his own and several
borrowed handkerchiefs bandaged the
broken limb tightly. AS he finished
his task the ambulance arrived.
you've bandaged this rather well.
the young blue uniformed ambulance
surgeon said to DR.. Keen.
Thank you," said the other
"Oh, not at all. suppose" the
youth resumed, that you have been
reading up some first aid to the in
iured' treatise, Ell? They say little
learning is a dangerous thing, but,
really, the little you nave learned
about surgery you have put to good
account. Give me your name and adj
dress and I'll forward your umbrella
to you"
"Ill give you my card" said DR..
Keen. He did so, and the young sur
geon fl, he'd a little as he read on it

modern surgeons.

Coming to some water-water
breaks the spell-the boy woke from
MS trance.
He was again hypnotized and off
he went, round some huts, and at the
door of one of them lay down and
fell asleep The owner of the hut,
who was not in, was on his return
arrested. He stoutly denied his
guilt, but some of the goods belonging
to his victim were found in the hut
and he ultimately confessed.
The murderer was brought before
Menelek, who asked him to detail his
doings after the commission of the
crime. These were found to CORE
spond with the movements of the To-
Dasha. He said that, overcome with
remorse, he ran to two churches and
kissed them.
Menelek wanted to have another
proof of the lobasha's gifts. He him.
self took some jewelry belonging to
the empress. A lobasha was sent for.
He first ran about in the empress
rooms, then into Menelek's own
and finally fell down on Menelek's
bed.
M. Zig can give no explanation of
this wonderful gift, which seems to be
confined to a certain tribe, or perhaps
racial confederation, the members of
which are distributed over the whole
of Abyssinia.
1t is also worth remembering that
a very similar method of discovering
crimes was ascribed to the old Egyp-
tians 1000 years ago.

HERBERT SPENCER is DEAD.
Was One of the intellectual Giants OF
the Nineteenth Century.

the Nineteenth Century.
Herbert. Spencer, author and phil
osopher, and the last of the great
thinkers of the Victorian age, died
Dec. 8 at Brighton, England.
Mr. Spencer was SO years OF age,
and his death was due to old age. He
was the contemporary friend, and CO.
worker of such intellectual giants rs
Darwin, Huxley, Tyndall, and Lyell
He was born at Derby, England, April
~, 1920. In 1912, when % years old,
he began the publication in a paper
called the Nonconformist of series
of letters on THE Proper Sphere OF
Government"
In 184S Spencer secured a position
upon the Economist, of which paper
he afterward became subeditor. He
held this post until 1852. The fol-
lowing two years he wrote Social
Statics," dealing with social prob
lens in an original way, which was
considered radical by many Britons.
This work brought him into contact
with Prof. Huxley and other prom
inent literary men and women, includ-
ing George Eliot, the novelist, to
whom, 1t is said, Spencer proposed
marriage.
Spencer began his connection with
the Westminster Review about this
time, and it was in these pages that
he began the publication of elaborate
essays, which marked his entrance to
the philosophic world. In 1856 he
issued a treatise on THE Principles
Of Psychology" and in 1860 Spencer
began his great work, Synthetic Phil
osophy." which he completed in 1897,
after nearly forty years hard labor.
He revised the great work in 1900.

Sleuths in Trance

A Swiss engineer, M. Ilg, in the en-
ploy. of King Menelek, the ruler OF
Abyssinia, tells some strange things
about that country and one of his
most weird stories relates to the
lobasha, or crime discoverer. These
are boys not more than twelve years
OF age, who are put into a hypnotic
trance, and in this state discover the
unknown perpetrators of crimes. or
many of these almost incredible cases
of the hunting down of criminals he
had personal knowledge. In a cose OF
incendiarism in Ads Abeba' the To-
basha was called to the spot and given
a cupful Of milk into which green
powder had been put and then was
made TO smoke pipe of tobacco mix
ed with black powder. The boy
was then hypnotized. After a few
minutes he jumped up and began run
ming to Harrar. For fully sixteen
hours he ran, and so swift was his
pace that professional runners were
not able to keep up with him. Near
Harrar the lobasha left the road, ran
into field and touched Gala work
ing there with his hand. The man
confessed.
Another case which Emperor Meme
lex and M. Zig investigated was that
of murder and robbery near Ads
Abeba. The lobasha was taken to the
site of the murder and put into his
peculiar psychic state. For a while
he ran around the place. then back
to Ads Abeba to church, which he
kissed, then to another church. which
he also kissed.

There is trouble ahead OF the young
duchess of Roxburghe, formerly Miss

endeavor to assume her position as
premiere of the Scottish duchesses,
and should she do so she will arouse
the nntipathy of the powerful duchess
Of Buccleugh, whose dislike of all

about 100000 mens and $4,000 teams

least 10000 women are needed to pre-
