Hudson True Republican, Sept. 20:
Last Monday a stranger appeared in

of wanting to buy property. He fell
into conversation with Mr.. d. Hoff-
man whom he proposed to buy out.
He claimed to have son who was
looking for a location. After some
negotiating he and Mr.. Hoffman
struck terms. 1t was to be a cash
deal and he gave check of $500 on q
bank at Albert Lee, Mimi, to bind
the bargain. In few days he and
his son were coming back to complete
the deal. He left and in a short time
went back, telling Mr.. Hoffman he
was short of currency and asked him
to cash check of So to take him
home. Hoffman held him in CONVEX
sation at the same time sending his
daughter to phone to Albert Lea.
The answer came back that he was not

fend him. What would you do when
his enemies burst in your door and
tried to drag him off without law or
warrant? And suppose the man pos
sessed some momentous secret which

American girl seemed TO be one OF the

Most Diseases, 1t liz Claimed, HIVE
Their Characteristic OdorS.
The ncntcness of the sense of smell
Is far greater In many of the lower ami.
mals-dogs. for example than in man.
and they employ IL in guiding them TO
their food, in warning them of ap-
proaching danger and for other pur-
poses. The sphere Of the susceptibility
to various odors is more uniform and
extended in man, and the sense of
smell is capable of great cultivation
Like the other special senses, it may
be cultivated by attention and prac.
lice. Experts can discriminate quail,
ties of wines, liquors, drugs. etc. Dis
eases have their characteristic odors.
Persons who have visited many diff
ferent asylums for the insane rccog-
nizc the same familiar odor of the in
sane. 1t Is not insane asyInms alone,
but prisons, jails. warehouses, armies
in camp. churches. schools and nearly
every household that have cliaractcris-
tic odors. 1t is when the insane, the
prisoners and the soldiers are aggre-
gated in large groups or battalions
nized Most diseases have their char
actcristic odors, and by the exercise OF
the sense of smell they could be util-
lied in different diagnoses.
For example. favus has mousy
odor. rheumatism has n copious sour
smelling, acid sweat. A person af-
fictcd with pyaemia has a sweet, nau-
seating breath. The rank, unbearablc
odor of pus from the middle ear tells
the tale of the decay of osseous tissue.
In scurvy the odor is putrid, in chron-
ic peritonitis mllsEy, in scrofula like
stale beer. in intermittent fever like
fresh baked brown bread in fever am
moniacal, in hysteria like violcts or
pineapple, Measles, diphtherin, typhoid
fever. epilepsy. phthsis, etc, have
