CLEVER WORK OF DETECTIVES
Partisan Peace Guardians Employ Ef.
fective Disguise in Effort to
Make Arrest.

Two ragged-looking street singers
appeared in front Of a cafe in one Of
the popular quarters of Paris. One OF
them sang pathetic street ballad,
and the other accompanied him on
the guitar. Coppers fell here and
there from the windows, and some
midinettes listened with pleasure to
the music. Suddenly the singer broke
off his song, the accompanist dropped
his guitar, and both seized by the
collar man who was coming out of
the cafe, snatched am envelope with
700 francs and lot Of slips of paper
out of his hand, and told him that he
was their prisoner. The two musi-
clans were simply two clever detec-
tives sent by M. Hamard to secure the
arrest of clandestine bookmaker,
who was taking bets on the races, an
occupation forbidden by the law. The
bookmaker struggled hard to get loose
from their grip, and he, in turn.
threatened to have the men arrested
as highway robbers. The amusing
thing is that a policeman who had OBJ
served the scene rushed to his assist

showed their papers, he had his

CONSTANTLY SOUGHT TO KILL
Popularity Of Knife Owned by Rudt
yard kIpling, as Described by
Robert Barr.

My mind has flown back down the
years to London, and into the large
corner room on the second floor, Vii.
liers street, Embankment Gardens,
writes Robert Barr in London World.
On the wall fronting the Thames
hangs the most vicious looking knife
l have ever seen. 1t is serpentine
in shape, and it's downward point is
sharp as a needle.
What villainous weapon" ] said
Yes" replied Kipling, and forgot
the name he gave 1t; also the section
of India from which it came; that
knife has tried to kill me several
times. It's always on the watch.
When l got 1t there was affixed to it,
like a button on a foil, one joint OF a
mans backbone. The knife had been
run into the vertebrae, given a savage
twist, and brought away with It a
piece of human framework"
AS he spoke he approached the gilt
tering, snake-like knife.
Don't touch it," / cried. You
ought to keep it in a locked box"
He didn't touch it, so far as | saw.
but as he raised his hand the knife
dropped like a plummet, and stood
quivering in the floor within an inch
of his boot.
Look at that" he said, and stood
there without moving a muscle, until
saw how nearly the sinister blade
had come to impaling his foot.

From 100000 to 100000 children in
the United States die every year from
ureventable causes. The chief Stats
tician of the federal census bureau is
the authority for that statement.
Nearly a fifth are infants under one
year of age, and more than fourth
are children under five years of age
It is the conclusion Of an eminent
medical authority that the deaths OF
II per cent of the children may be
prevented and that 81 per cent. of the
deaths of children between two and
eight years are also preventable.
There is. therefore, a veritable
slaughter of the innocents by ignor-
ance, inattention, neglect and poverty.
Society is not as well organized as it
should be when its infants are thus
condemned to death by the whole
sale.

To Help Needy Inventors.

, The Royal Wurtemberg Chamber of
Commerce is organizing a state exhibit
ton of inventors models, to be held
next year at Stuttgart. Its chief pur-
pose, says the Scientific American, is
to help poor inventors who have little
opportunity of bringing their inven-
lions under the notice of likely pur-
chasers. The directors of the affair
promise that strict impartality will be
shown in the selection of exhibits, and
that none will be accepted which is
not worthy of serious consideration
There will be no expenses of any kind
for the very poor inventor, and low
fees for the others. 1t is not said
whether the exhibition is expected to
be self-supporting, but perhaps not,
as the enterprise is being backed by
the state.

THE JUDGE AND THE DOCTOR
Man Of MsdIcine, After Jurist's Es'
PLANTATION, Concluded to Let f'
His Grievance Pass.

The physician was a witness IN a
damage case, and his answers to ques-
lions had been marked by more length
than lucidity. The lawyer who was
examining him several times eau
toned him to confine his replies to
subjects involved in the questions, but
this warning had little effect. Finally
the Judge lost patience and told him
to make an effort to shorten his an
swers and to quit talking when he got
through.
This had some effect temporarily,
but few minutes later the physician
began a long and rambling answer
which had only vague and remote
. bearing upon what had been asked
him.
Look here" said the now irate
Judge, you are wasting the time of
the court, the attorneys, the witnesses
and everybody else here, and delaying
the trial of the case. Now, if you don't
confine yourself to plain answers here
after shall send you to Jail for con-
tempt of COURT
That had Its effect, and the test1-
mony of the witness was concluded in
a reasonable time after that.
The next day the judge and the
physician met upon the street. They
are acquaintance, and stopped and
shook hands.
Say, Judge" inquired the doctor,
would it be contempt of court, now
that you are no longer on the bench,
to say that you acted like a damned
fool at the trial yesterday, and would
you send me to jail?"
"Oh, no. replied his honor, easily.
