The woman of the Kongo and the
women of Chicago are actuated by
identically the same moral in
stincts, says Prof. Frederick Starr
of the University of Chicago, who
has vascillated between the draw
Ing rooms OF civilization and the
matched huts of barbarism to find
out.
And now Mrs. Gabriel Ma
guire, one of the few American
women who knows the heart of
Africa as she does the cities of
civilization, goes even further and
declares that the African often
shows even finer feelings than her
more favored sisters.
On her honeymoon trip, Mrs.
Mcguire accompanied her hus-
band, who was Baptist mission
larry to the Mayombi tribe, on "a
30O-mile journey up the Kongo.
She was carried 205 miles in a
hammock.

Clever Detective Work.

The adroit mesAods of the CONT
mental detectives are illustrated in the
recovery by Baron Leopold Won Lie
ben of Vienna, of two valuable paint
ings, Bochlin and Troyon. The
pictures vanished III August, 1905, and
a private detective named Danek was
engaged to trace them. This man found
that the pictures had been taken to
Brunn, and then to America. Danek
followed and discovered the thief and
his hiding place in Passaic, N. J. He
obtained an adjoining room in the
same boarding house, gained the mans
confidence and learned that he had
stolen the pictures while in Baron
Lieben's home. He had them in a
trunk, and showed them to Danek, who
subsequently took them, leaving the
police circular offering a reward in
their place. Danek arrived in Vienna
some weeks ago and restored the pic
lures to their rightful owner.

When about two and a half years

She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
of them. I had two doctors treat her,
