and several women were among the
dead. Katzatoa mourned, as a child
of nature mourns, for his mother and
sat for days fasting, with face in his
hands and dust and ashes streWn
upon his head.
''When his period was completed,
and I had gained the use of my leg,
1 told him that / wished to go among
my own people. That one savage
fight had sickened me of Indian life.
Katzatoa questioned me closely,
and finding me determined, he said,
Brother, you make me sad, but l
have no one now to keep the lodge
and cook for you l will go with
you as guide to your steps,
"And he did. His great size pre-
vented fast travel on horseback, and
so he ran at the side of my pony to
a post on the Arkansas, one hundred
and forty miles, in two days. His
parting with me was affecting. Out
side the gate of the fort he stood
for a long time, looking at me in such
a sorrowful, earnest way that could
hardly keep from tears. 1 was re-
lieved when at last he turned, and
without looking back, struck into a
swinging trot which carried him swift
ly away into his wilderness. Youths

PERHAPS It's just affinity,
Perhaps it's something higher,
But for one ann free to say
I dearly love q liar.
I love the Liar who declares
He buys my books by dozens
And sends them off as Xmas gifts
To all his country cousins.
I love the Liar who remarks:
I'VE missed you at the meeting;
No voice like yours to give a toast
Or speak the speech of greeting.
4 love the Liar when he swears
He knows a pretty woman
WAo wants to meet me very much,
my pictures look so human"
love my food, love my drink,
love my open fire.
But more than all dearly love
A dash hinged blooming LIAR!

DETECTIVE METHODS IN INDIA.
How Oriental Sherlock HoImeses Spot
The Guilty,

! nc 0ulIIys
A very old Indian detective trick
played its part in the arrest of the
Bengal youth Khurdiram Bose, who
threw the bomb which killed Mrs.
and Miss Kennedy at Mozufferpore.
He was seated in the railway sta
tion at Waini, some twenty miles
from the scene of the crime and was
eating meal of rice, when two con-
stables approached him. One of the
constables noticed that the youths
saliva had ceased to flow, apparently
through fright at the sudden appear
ance of the policemen, and that, in
spite of his nonchalant air, he was
unable to continue his meal. The
constable toyed with his man for
while, and then, having his suspicious
fire the revolver with which he was
trying to shoot himself. This sys-
tenn of detection, it is stated, is ira
ditional among the Indian police.
A suspected person will be placed
with others, and native inspector
will mutter some gibberish over an
old four cornered rupee. Having thus
worked upon the fears of his audi
tors, he will give each of them
handful of rice and instruct them to
eat it as fast as they can. The guilty
one, it is averred, will be unable to
eat, and the strike of the sahvary
glands is regarded as furnishing a
prima facie case for arrest.-West-
