Little fame remains for the animals.
The ground hog, whose appearance
from his hole was once of eager inter-
est to thousands. is now considered no
more than rat and his exits and en-
frances not worth snap. Whether it
be the terror inspired by nature fake
denunciations or the improvement OF
the official weather prophets, it re-
mains that the ground hogs shadow is
of concern only TO himself Black cats,
ravens, magpies, owls-no one cares a
fig for them or their omens. About the
only superstitions that prevail are that

a sheet of paper a series of words are

The list is handed to the prisoner.
He is asked to pronounce loudly the
words which-by association of ideas

written words.

having no connection with the crime
his answers come at once. At the

The modern detective has of late
been compared to a keen and discern
ing physician. From a few apparent
tokens-a rag, button. a handker-
chief, footprint-if he is an observer
and Is endowed with the gifts necessa-
~ to his profession. he will often be
able to reconstruct all the different
events connected with a drama and
discover the culprit-just as an able
doctor manages to give the right dag
rOsis from a few exterior signs.
The famous detectives invented by
Gaboriau, Coan Doyle and Edgar Poe
arc types TO be found in real life.
Some years ago at Lyons a woman
was found strangled She bore on
her neck five finger marks-fOur on the
left and one on the right which was
broader and shorter
The detective was struck by the ir-
regular disposition Of the marks, and
tried to apply his own fingers 10 them.

The fact made his search for the

Again. the tools used by the modern
jailbird are unrivalcd masterpieces.
One amazing proof of the scientific
knowledge of the modern criminal and
his keenneGs in keeping abreast of
modern discoveries lies in the following
fact: Recently in Marseiles the huge
safe of a bank was rapidly opened by
means of a complicated apparatus
which had only been invented by a
prominent engineer ten months previ-
Ously.
But the detective also avails himself

Deaths Gate.

Reaches Deaths Gate.
We record the death of noble
life. Miss Bessie E. Patterson a
highly esteemed young woman
died in this city on Saturday May
3Oth, at the age of % years and
some months. Miss Patterson
was born in Troy, Kentucky.
On earth she lived q generous and
Christian life. She is missed most
beside the holy hearth of her home.
The young woman left behind a
legacy OF kind deeds and her host
of friends will ever cherish her
pure girlhood and emulate her un-
selfish life. Miss Patterson was a
devoted daughter, and a surviving
father deeply mourns the loss OF
his devoted child. She is now free
from pain, having crossed the
valley to her Saviour. Miss Patter-
son was cousin of Walter Kicker
son and Miss Josie Graves.
They each mourn her loss. We
extend to the parent, family OF
children and relatives the sympa-
thy of her many friends.
