The death Watch"
from Strand Magazine


THE patient. after suffering long, had
fallen into deep sleep, and the nurse, in
the still hours of the night, was with
anxious forebodings. critically watching
her charge. Intently she listened to his
weak and irregular breathing, and while
she listened a weird ticking commenced
Five gentle but distinct taps-a pause
five more taps, but this time from a diff
ferent direction; then a dead silence. The
old and superstitious nurse hopelessly
raised her hands and shook her head. All
now was of no avail. 1t was a 'warningv
She had heard the death watch
Two hours later the patient died..
Such passage as this. was common
enough in the pages Of novels not very
many years ago.
In earlier days the death watch" was
heard much more frequently than now
indeed, was quite popular terror among
the superstitious and ignorant, who be-
lieved In "omens," warnings and such
presages of future events. However, like
most of the superstitious fances of by
gone days, this supposed prophetic and
mysterious ''augury." when Investigated
with ordinary scientific methods of OBJ
servation. proves to be entirely fall
lacious and a delusion.
The death watch that produces the
weird tickings formerly so much feared
is nothing more or less than a mischiev-
Gus and destructive little beetle madly
in love and very DESTROYS of finding its
mate. Thus is the fallacy of our an
cestors regarding this mystery dispelled.

said: There is a homely old adage
which runs, Speak softly and carry a
big stick, and you will go far
The New York World, in an editorial
published September 20, 1904, revived the
speech, contrasting it, in parallel coll
umns, with Roosevelts pacific speech TO
the delegates of the Interparliamentary
Peace union. September "a, 1904
The first cartoon embodying the "big
stick" idea was published in the World
of October -, 1904 1t represented Roose-
welt mounted on a fiery steed. throwing
a lasso around the flying Angel of Peace
and carrying a eudgel bearing the words
''blg stick upon 1t.
1t Is interesting to notice the varying
changes in cartoons in the character of
this stick. At first 1t was simply a long,
round stick of uniform thickness 1t later
changed to the knotted club or bludgeon
type. and now 1t is often seen with q
spear protruding from the large end
This latter form was derived from Roose-
velt's expression, My spear knows no
brother" A marked contrast is shown In
Roosevelt's emblem and the mailed fist"
of Emperor William. Williams symbol
typifies power and force-nothing
else Roosevelt's "big stick" although
formidable, means peace-but peace

The smoking Of such pipe would not
last long, and we may presume that u
very few draws would exhaust It The
smoke was of course taken into the
lungs.
The Eskimos are known to be ex-
tremeIy skilful in the representation of
scenes and objects, while the Indians
of Queen Charlottes Sound and gen.
orally all the natives Of the northwest
coast of America are famous for their
carving in wood and in black slate.
Handsomely carved Eskimo pipes Of
walrus ivory from northwestern
Alaska have on each side of the pipe,
that is to say on four more or less long
fiat surfaces, scenes from the daily life
of the Eskimo. OF these the two sides
on the right hand Of the pipe, as 1t is
held in position for smoking, appear to
represent the period of cold weather,
later autumn, winter and early spring.
while those on the left hand side of the
oipe represent the summer life Of the
Eskimo.

would hold pinch of tobacco half as

base of the bowl which fitted into the

The pipe stem was, curved and had

Small Bowls With Stems of WaIrus

From Forest and Stream.
The pipes used by the Eskimos are
quite different from those of any other
North American race, and in the shape
of the bowl more resemble the opium
pipes used by the Chinese than any
thing else. The old pipes were very
small in the amount of tobacco that
they would hold, for in former days to-
bacco was extremely scarce and in it's
use was most carefully husbanded

EcAPED FROM WORK HOUSE.
Before Leaving Gunter Stole Some
EdlableS.

y
Saturday night a small negro
boy by the name Of Alex Gunter
made his escape from the county
work house, and at this writing
is still at large. When Gunter
was sentenced the Judge told the
officers to take the prisoner to
the work house and keep him
there as long as deemed neces-
sary. Several times in the past
the boy has been whipped for
his meanness.
Before taking his departure
Saturday night, the boy stole a
quantity of fruit and other good
things to eat from Supt. Thomp-
son. He got over the fence and
was journeying away from there.
when he was met by Mr.. Hilman
Belyin. Mr.. Belvin carried him
back to the work house, but the
boy broke and ran into some
high clover and was not found.
Under cover Of the darkness Of
night he got safely away. When
met by Mr.. Belvin he had nearly
eaten up all of the stolen eatables.
