dreadful disease germs from the system.

mond necklace valued at $4,000, the
property of a wealthy widow living on
Washington Heights. The necklace
lay in a satin case, and had been de-
posted in a wall safe with an assort-
ment Of other jewelry Of great value.
The necklace had been worn at ball
by the owner and on her return she
had deposited 1t in the safe, as usual.
None but herself knew the combina-
ton of the safe, yet on the following
morning the necklace had disappear

could not, however, find any clew in
eliminating either Of these persons,
and 1 was in despair, when, learning
that my client was a somnambulist
the idea struck me that perhaps the
secret Of the supposed theft might be
solved by watching her closely with
out her being aware Of 1t.
II confided my suspicious to a
nephew Of the woman, and we watch
ed the door Of her room, turn and turn
about for several nights. On the fifth
night, Just as we were about to give
up the job as useless, the door OPEN
ed and the lightly clad figure Of the
woman appeared. She walked slowly,
her hands clasped before her, her eyes
staring like one in hypnotic state.
She went to a stairway and walked
slowly to the upper story, we follow
ing slowly as shadows a few feet
behind.
1.-THE woman led us into a sort OF
storeroom in the rear, and, fortunate
ly for our purpose, she left the door
slightly ajar. The room was wains-
coted in panels about a foot square.
She turned on the electric light and
deftly removed one Of these panels,
then thrust her arm into the aperture.
An instant later she stood beneath the
light, carefully examining a white-sa-
tin lined jewel case. It was the stolen
necklace! She stood for a moment
gloating over the gems like a miser,
then returned the case to its hiding
place behind the panel.
1.-The man with me was so excited
that he almost shouted, and the noise
he made brought the woman to her
senses. AS she stared at us in aston
ishment / opened the panel, removed
the jewel case and placed 1t in her
hands. The incident cured her Of the
sleep-walking habit, and 1t Is needless
to add that the necklace never was
stolen by her again. New York

cAR'LINA BAR.
Southern chivalry Defends a Maligned
Animal.

There is no animal more misunder-
stood than the harmless, playful, gen.
tie, shy, affectionate black bear. More
over, there has hardly ever been an
animal so cloaked up and shrouded in
myth, fable and romance as this same
black beer. Elias Cumbee of He'll
Hole Swamp, Berkeley county, claims
that bears go to Florida each winter
and cites as proof the fact that the
hair is partly rubbed off, this being
done when the bears are passing
through canebreaks en- route! Every
day something as simple. as childlike
and as foreign to the true state of the
case is told by somebody. In various
localities there are local names. For
example, in one part Of North Carolina
they have divided the black bear into
two bears, one being called the cattle
bear, the other the hog bear. Still
again he is called the brown bear. the
cinnamon bear, the cimarron bear.
These are one and the same bear,
however much individuals may vary.
Sometimes i'm the same litter there will
be black cub and a brown cub. It
may here be remarked that female
bears bring forth their young invaria-
bly, during Information. Another fact
is also worthy Of note, and that is that
bears hibernate even in the lower
parts of their range, such as Mexico,
just as they do in the Arctic and
semi-Arctic regions. This may be re-
ferred to the force of heredity. Will
liam H. Knight, who spent nearly thir-
ty years studying bears in the open and
who killed hundreds of black bear, has
given. perhaps, the most exact descrip-
ton of the black bear to he found any
where. He says:
THE black bear climbs like a squir-
rel and from cubhood to old age spends
a considerable portion of his time in
trees. He can climb as soon as he can
walk, and his mother takes clever ad-
vantage of the fact. She sends her
cubs up a tree whenever she wants
them off her hands for a time-uses
trees indeed very much as human
mothers who have no one to watch
over their children while they work
use day nurseries. The first thing
black bear mother does when any
danger threatens is to send her cubs
up a tree. In all my experience / have
never known cubs when thus ordered
into retirement by their mother to
come down from the selected trees
until she called them. They will
climb to the extreme top. run out to
the ends of the branches in turn, chase
each other up and down the trunk and
finally curl up on some convenient
fork and go to sleep. But though it
may he hours before the old bear
comes back for them nothing will in

How Indians Made History.

If we could only get at the facts OF
the history of our Indian tribes II
would be of interest to compare these
with what is related as the fortune
Of most civilized nations. 1t Is only
in tradition that the history or the
Indian lives, and only one version OF
the story is ever heard. Sometimes
this is so true to nature that no room
for doubt can be found. Such Is the
following chapter from the annals OF
the Beavers, a Canadian tribe:
One day a young chief shot his ar
row through a dog belonging to an
other brave. The brave revenged
the death of his dog. and instantly q
hundred bows were drawn. Ere
night had fallen some eighty warriors
lay dead around the camp. The pine
woods rang with the lamentations of
the women; the tribe had lost its
bravest men.
There was a temporary truce. The
friends of the chief whose arrow had
kllleu the uOS yet luilpCieu 'oiii'
sixty people, and it was agreed that
they should separate from the tribe
and seek their fortune in the vast
wilderness lying to the south.
In the night they began their march; !;
sullenly their brethren saw them de-
part, never to return. They went
their way to the shores of the lesser
Slave lake, toward the great plains,
which were said to be far southwark,
by the banks Of the swift rolling Sas-
katchewan.
The tribe of the Beavers never saw
this exiled band again; but hun
dred years later a Beaver Indian. who
followed the fortunes of a white fur
hunter, found himself i'm one Of the
forts of the Saskatchewan. Strange
Indians were camped about the pali-
sades; they were members of the
great BlackfOot tribe, whose hunting
grounds lay south of the Saskatche-
wan. Among them were a few braves
who. when they conversed. spoke a
language different from the others;
in this language the Beaver Indian
recognized his own tongue.-Harper's
Weekly.

FOR SELLING COCAINE.
Indictments Are Found by the Sum
ter County Grand Jury.

Considerable interest was created
yesterday morning when it was as
certained that the grand jury had
returned indictments against three
citizens here as the result Of the
rigid investigation in the cocaine
traffic carried on for some time in
Americas. The grand jury was es-
pecially charged upon this subject
by Judge Littlejohn last week, and
since that time has been making a
very thorough and exhaustive inves-
tigation. Scores of witnesses, in
Guiding doctors, druggists and also
many habitual users of the ieadly
drug, have been closely examined
by the grand jury with the result
that three indictments were sent in
yesterday. And there may be others
still, as the grand jury probe was
still working yesterday afternoon
in the case of others suspected Of
alleged violation of the state law
The use of cocaine has grown greatly
in Americas in recent years, both
among white and black "dopers,"
and the court deemed it advisable to
deal the traffic here a staggering
blow.-Americus Times-Recorder.

LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
TO TEST CANCER CURE.
Students Willing to Be InocuIated
With the Disease.

Seventeen students of Dr. Chas F.
Simon of Baltimore, whose expert
ments on cancer cover a number of
years, have offered themselves as
subjects to test a cure which has
yielded results when applied to ami
mails.
These students have been associ-
ated with Dr. Simon and are willing
to take the risk. They have assisted
him during the months he has car
ried on his investigation, and now
that it has reached a stage where
further developments with animals
seem to be unprOmising the students
have offered themselves.
The offer came as a great surprise
to DR.. Simon, and he was deeply af-
fected by it. In speaking about the
incident he said: Il understand
how much an offer like that means
from my students. They have made
a study of medicine and know exact
ly the terrible chances they would
be taking. Once they are thoroughly
inoculated with the cancer germ if
the cure failed, for it is only an ex-

PREACHER CROSSES LEGS.
He Was Barred, as Was Another on
Account of His Hair.

Some queer reasons are given by
congregations for refusing to "call''
certain ministers, according to the
report of the pastoral supply commit
tee of the New York state convention
Of Congregationalists.
One candidate was objected to by
a congregation because he crossed
his legs in the pulpit; another con-
gregation objected to the style in
which minister combed his hair;
another rejected a candidate because
"he walked up the center aisle as
though he were self-satisfed.
The committee says that it is ow-
ing to the inadequacy of salaries
that it has been impossible to pro-
vide pastors for more than one hun
dred churches. The average salary
in the vacant pastorates is $500 per
year, and the high cost of living
makes it impossible even for bach
elor preacher to live within the in
come, according to the committee.

SOON TO RAISE THE MAINE.
The Experts Say the COfferdam Is a
Success.

Without precedent in engineering
practice and projecting only foot
or two above high tide level the cof-
ferdam built around the wreck OF
the battleship Maine in Havana har-
Dor is assured of success in the opin-
ion of the engineers. The handbook
ed harbor is not disturbed by high
waves, and engineers say that if the
dam should ever be threatened with
flooding from the top its height
could be easily augmented
Pumping out of the water will
probably begin about June 10. 1t
has been delayed because some of the
steel rails driven to interlock the cir
cular tubes that make the wall were
bent, permitting water to pass
through. Limited facilities handi-
cap strengthening these rails.
1t is expected that some leaks will
develop as the water level in the
dam is lowered, but that is true of
all large dams and the leaks can be
controlled.
