There was nothing childish About th!s
outbreak. and there has been very
little Of the child's life involved In the
existence Of Beuiah Blnford for the
past three years. Yet her principal oc-

question. She became morose and sui

II was not until she was confronted
with her diaries that she became To-
qua cious. Then she talked with a ra-
pid!ty that was partly hysterical. She
denied much that the diaries contained.
Other things she admitted. She had
kept a record OF all the moneys and
presents young Beattie gave hcr. She
had set down all his pet names for her
and her pet names for him. She had
written her thoughts about the future
and there were observations far from
childish about the past. The contents
of these diaries will not be disclosed
by the prosecution until the trial takes
place next month.

New York.-After something like

celebrated oculist has discovered
that it is caused by the presence OF
caterpillar-hairs in the eye. On these

GUS caterpillars are known by the suf-

1t is also said that the poisonous mat

lead to nettlerash. Hence 1t may be
gathered that the antipathy of the peo-

these creatures Is founded on some
thing more than mere superstition.
Their observation has evidently pre-
coded science; and, since these in
sects may be even more dangerous to
human beings than they are to plants,
those who have anything to do with
them cannot be too careful AS the

HONESTY or THE CHINESE
Always Pay for Being Struggled Into
This Country Even II Sent
Back.

"A talk with any smuggler who ever
engaged in the business Of bringing
Chinese into the United States con.
trary to the immigration laws will sui.
Ace to establish the Chinaman's pro.
verbal honesty in business transac.
tions," said Guy e. Runyan Of De.
troit.
Il know Of one old French Canadian
who in his younger days was pro-
fessional smuggler and operated on
the Canadian border. He did not deal
in furs or any articles OF commerce,
He made practise Of smuggling
Cinnamon across the border, and &C.
cording to his own statement amassed
enough money to set himself up in
comfortable business.
HE has often said that the duty Of
a professional smuggler ended when
the Chinaman was landed on the soil
of the United States. Then 1t was
that the smuggler got his money. Aft.
er that 1t did not fall to him to look
out for the Oriental who had been his
charge. Ninety-nine times out Of
hundred the Chinaman was appre-
hended and sent back to his former
abode by the immigration authorities.
Nevertheless the smuggler received
his pay. Never, according to the story
told me by the old man and numerous
others who have been connected in
different ways with the smuggling Of
Cinnamon, has there been known an
instance where the smuggler was de.
frauded Of the price promised him.
This illustrates the predominant trait
of honesty in the Chinese character"
