Murder STRANGELY Revealed.

Some years ago an aged woman was
murdered near Carlisle in Scotland
for the sake of the little sum of money
in her possession. There was no clew
beyond a footprint marked in pool
of CONCEALED blood The notable feat
ure of this print took the form of two
peculiar indentations near the toe.
News of the clew got abroad, and
when the police pounced upon an en-
CINE driver whom they suspected,
they found that there had been with.
drawn from the toe of one of his boots
two nails, the positions of which cor.
responded with the marks left in the
impression. They searched until
they found those two nails, hidden be-
meath newly turned earth. And upon
those two nails was woven a chain of
evidence which hanged the man, who

FATE GUIDED HER FOOTSTEPS.
College Girls Odd Recovery Of
Friends Lost Fin.


"This is tiny bit of a world after
ALL" said the Smith College alumna
who had just returned from trip
abroad. "At the last reunion of my
class, three years ago, one of the girls
was bemoaning the loss of her Smith
pin, which she said had disappeared
while she was in Italy the preceding
summer. She said she would get an
other some time, but it would never
seem like the first one.
Now, you know the Smith pin is a
very odd design, which can never be
mistaken, and when was in Switzer-
land month ago l was surprised to
see maid at our hotel wearing a
Smith pin. | questioned her and she
said her sweetheart had found 1t In
Naples when he was there on visit
and had given 1t to her. She readily
consented to taking it off, and on the
back found the name of my friend
you know every pin has its owners
name on the back. offered her a dol
lar for 1t and she thought that was a
great plenty, for she said she didn't
think the pin very pretty.

get it back! But | can't help think

to that hotel, for it was a hosiery

Doctors operate on Ostrich.

One of the largest ostriches in the
New York Geological park underwent
an operation to reduce the swelling
of large gland under one of the
birds eyes. 1t was decided that lane
ing was the only means of saving
the sight Of the eye.
DR.. Blair and Acting Director Nit
chell found their task by no means an
easy one. The ostrich struggled
wildly at first, and the assistance Of
many attendants was required to get
the bird into a crate. Then cocaine
was administered to the diseased
growth, and the operation proceeded.
The swelling was reduced consider
ably, and a cure is expected.

Novel Restaurant.

A novel restaurant has recently
been opened in New York by stu
dent of dietetics. This man believes
that there is more harm done by in
temperance in eating than by indulg-
ing in alcoholic drinks. His motto is
Fresh air, pure water and simple
food" and this rule he expects to
carry out in his new venture. He
serves but one dish each day, and a
different one each day for two weeks.
The bill Of fare is Of the simplest. He
believes that in this way he can help
his customers to live to a good old
age, probably hundred years or
more.
