ATE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM
Prisoner Stops Trial by Chewing and

Prisoner Stops Trial by Chewing and
Swallowing a Forged Check.
The Kings county court was thrown
into disorder and dismay, says a Seat
tie special to the St. Louis Post-Dis
patch, when the prisoner at the bar,
H. n. McTavish, ate all the evidence
in the case on trial. McTavish was
being tried on a charge of forging q
SIS check. The check lay on the trial
table, marked exhibit A." McTayish
sat beside his counsel, who was en-
gagged in cross-examining witness
for the prosecution.
The case was going against Nc
lavish when his eye fell on the check
which was about to be introduced IN
evidence. Like half-starved man
and with look of hunger In his eye
the prisoner bounced upon exhibit A
and chewed 1t to pulp.
With soulful satisfaction he gulped
1t down. The prosecution was IN con
sternation, for its main piece OF evi
dence was gone, and demanded that
stomach pump be used forthwith
While the lawyers argued pro and con
the prisoner calmly picked his teeth
with Whitfield match, plainly the
master of the situation. The defense
argued that the ball Of paper in the
defendants stomach could in no wise
be construed as documentary EVIL
dsnce, and that dismissal was prop
er.
The case Of the state OF Washing
ton against H. r. McTavish is now IL
statu quo pending the untangling O
the legal question involved from thu
defendants impromptu luncheon.

The Ignorant Landsman.

Capt Kaempf, Of the Deutschland
was entertaining a little group of
passengers with sea stories.
''Why is it," said Capt. Kaempf,
chat landsmen are so ignorant of the
sea? Seaman are not ignorant of the
land. 1t is only, in fact, through
knowing the land well enough to avoid
it, that seamen keep their ships afioat
"But landsmen's ignorance of the
seat is deplorable."
"In Bremen, one day, saw farm
er looking at the shipping in the har-
Dor. A 'longshoreman was explaining
the shipping to him. Finally l heard
the 'longshoreman say:
eft is low water, now, sir

his mouth and pointed it solemnly

HOW TO LOCATE SPRINGS.
Indians and Frentiersnen Learn
Much From Signs and OBJ
eervatione

There is undoubtedly a practical
art of discovering springs. Indians
or frontiersmen can find water In the
desert where "tenderfoot" cannot.
Mexicans and experienced prospec-
tors can similarly find ore. These
arts consist mainly in the recognition
of superficial signs which escape the
ordinary observer.
1t is not necessary that the opera
tor should consciously note these
signs separately and reason upon
them. No doubt he frequently does
so, though he may not give away the
secret of his method to others. But
In many instances he recognizes by
association and memory the presence
OF group of indications, great or
small, which he has repeatedly found
TO attend springs or ore deposits.
This skill, due to habit, is often
almost unerring for a given limited
district, but under new conditions it
breaks down. Old miners from Cali.
fornia or Australia have often made
in other regions the most foolish and
hopeless attempts to find gold, be-
cause they thought this or that place
: looked Just like" some other place
in which they had mined successful
ly.
Apart from the magnetic minerals,
there is no proof that ore deposits ex-
hibit their presence and nature by
any attraction or other active force.
With regard to water, however, there
may be an action affecting the tenn,
perature and moisture of the over
laying surface. Even here, however,
it seems more likely that such eff.
fects are manifested visibly to a
close observer than by a direct sys-

When the black, uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of the long ago;

I'm sick of the roar of cities,
And of faces old and strange:

Back to the dear old homestead,
With an aching sense of pain;

resolution of Tuesday directing the law

duced in the Legislature bill providing

The resolution presented BY the Street

Board decided to lay il over. It was
drawn to secure the endorsement for the

when bonds be issued for the new water
works the city officials may at
their discretion make the bonds first
