STATUS OF THE BLOODHOUND
Supreme Court Of Kansas Rules That
the Animals Testimony" May
Be Considered.

The rating of the bloodhound in Am.
erican criminal jurisprudence is not
settled, 1t appears, despite the able
and exhaustive opinion derogatory to
the dogs rendered by Judge Sullivan
when on the supreme bench of Ne
braska.
That opinion was so favorably re-
garded and was shown such respect
by courts in other states that it's char
acter as precedent seemed to be
fairly well established. But now an
opinion Of precisely the opposite i'm
port has been handed down by so near
tribune as the supreme court of
Kansas. The ruling is that the "testi-
mony" of bloodhounds is something
that may be properly considered, es-
pecially in connection with other evil
dence concerning the competency of
which there is no dispute.
The court refuses to set aside YER
dict Of murder against a man convict
ed solely on the evidence of shoe
prints and the trailing of footsteps by
hounds. The dogs took the trail from
the tracks around the body of the
murdered man and followed 1t for six
miles to the home of the man, who
was then accused and later convicted
The shoe tracks around the body and
the home of the man accused cores
pended with the shoes he wore. 1t was
contended that II the trailing by the
hounds were eliminated from the evil
dence the evidence from the shoe
prints alone would not be sufficient
for conviction on capital charge,
but the court held that the "testi
mony" of the hounds was competent
to corroborate that of the prints.

A Famous Miser,

John ELVES, who lived--we can hard
~ say fourished-in the eighteenth
century, was a famous miser When
he, possessed of million of money,
walked the streets of London philan-
thropic people would sometimes thrust
penny into his hand. so beggarly and
poverty stricken was his appearance.
He would eat food that was in the last
stage of putrefaction sooner than
throw it away and would ride for
miles out of his way sooner than pay
a twopenny toll on the turnpike. By
an accident in the street he received
an injury to both his legs, and a doc
tor was called in. Elves protested
that the expense was quite unneces-
sary and that he was not much hurt.
So he made an arrangement with the
doctor. The doctor was to take one
leg and treat as he liked. ELVES
would take the other and do nothing
to 1t. And he would bet the doctor
the amount of his bill that the untend-
ed leg got well first He used t to boast
afterward that he beat the doctor by
a fortnight.

The Art of Roxinn

Pugilism, the practice of boxing or
lighting with the fists, was manly
art and exercise highly esteemed
among the ancients. In those days the
hands of the pugilist were armed with
the ccstus, leather throngs loaded with
lead or iron. This form of athletic
sport was at first only permitted to
freemen among the Greeks, but grad
ually it was taken up as profession
and lost much Of its prestige.
AS an illustration of its early use we
find in Nirgil's fsth Aeneid the rec
ord of a match between Dares, with
nimble feet and confident in YOUTH
and Entellus, the veteran champion,
"stfong and weighty limbed," when
the combatants-
Their arms uplift in air, their heads with
draw
Back from the blows. and. mingling hand
with hand,
Provoke the conflict.
Pugilism has been a typical English
sport from the days of King Alfred
London Standard.
