is held without bail.
Mrs. Smith died suddenly on the
morning of March IS, 1912. She vas
stricken while preparing to eat break
fast n death followed soon after
ward.
The s~uddenness of her death caused
comment, n there was more ak
when q few weeks later Smith mar
ried Miss Mabel Claire Marchant, for
mer Springfield hospital nurse.
In October, Springfield authorities
became suspicious and ordered an in
vestigatfon. The body of the first Mrs.
Smith was exhumed and taken to an
undertaking establishment.
The authorities retained three Co
lumbus doctors who went to Spring
field on october 1S, n after the
body had been identified, proceeded with
the autopsy.
DR.. Coons was the first to make
his report. He found that heart
trouble of an organic nature was not
the cause of the death, though DR.,
Smith had given that as the cause.
A special grand jury was called. 1t

DR.. Smith a few days ago. The in
6ictment says that DR.. Smith put
cynanide of potassium in his wife's
cocoa the morning she died. and also
gave her a ~hypodermic injection of the
deadly poison.
The official death certificate bearing
the signature of DIR. o.. M. Marquart,
gives the cause of death as acute dila-
ton of the heart" and the contributery
cause as "myocarditis."
The second Mrs. Smith believes her
husband is innocent, and says she
is sure he will be cleared. DR.. Smiths
aged mother is near death as a result
of the charges which nave been made
against him.

Dog Under Arrest.

A dog thief-not dog stealer, but
a dog which had been trained to steal
has been arrested by the French po-
lice. He was caught zen fragrant de-

of stealing pair OF lady's shoes from
an establishment in Noisy-le-Sec. His
procedure was SO cunning that it left
no doubt among the police that the
dogs was no "untutored mind"
Nothing could be drawn from the
animal at the police office, SO it was
decided to shut him up without food.
After some hours confinement the dog
was released and police cyclist was
in readiness to follow the dog home.
But the best laid schemes of mice
and men gang aft agley."
The dog when liberated instead of
rushing home deliberately walked to
the other side of the road, and there
sat down on a doorstep and awaited
events, every now and again throw
ing suspicious glances at the police in
waiting. Finding that there was no
chance Of the dog going home he was
again taken into the police Office and
sent to the fourriere, where he met
an untimely end.

American Airs.

A woman recently back from for

not difficult to comprehend, as ap'

Next in popularity comes Columbia,

to change this notion. THE Star

KEEP TRIBAL CUSTOMS
SARcEE INDIANS DISREGARD
MARCH OF TIME.
History, Intended for PosterIty, Still
Is Recorded In Crude Fashion on
the Hides of Steers-Old Men
Tell of Adventures.

Within twelve miles OF Calgary. a
city Of $4,000 people, and with tele-
phone communication with that city,
the Sarcee Indians pursue their lives
and observe exactly as their forefa-
therE did the ancient habits and Gus
toms o. thei tribe, says the Toronto
Globe.
Two years ago there was a great
festival at which seven of the Oldest
chiefs related the les OF their ex-
ploits, which the painter OF the tribe
preserved for posterity on two i'm
mense steer hides. These hides are
now carefully preserved at the office
of the agent on the Sarcee reserve.
TIL Indian lad relies for his history
steer hide covered with queer char
acters, painted crudely with a sort of
ink made of the juices of plants.
These records are not haphazard,
but they are not altogether regular.
When several chiefs and medicine
men of the tribe are growing old an
assembly is arranged where the IA
nous Indian interpreter and painter
meets the aged men. One by one the
old men stand forth before the people
and recount the stories of their lives.
They tell thrilling tales of the bat
ties in which they have fought, of the
scalps taken, and the horses they
have stolen. These three achieve
ments are regarded as the three most
honorable and valorous exploits of
the great men. Compared with these
the white mans election to parlia-
ment, his appointment to high Office,
and his great commercial achieve
ments are as nothing.
Sometimes their meetings last sew
eral days. The old men are enthusi-
astic in their descriptions Of by
gone days; thep recite rapidly and
the tribe, sitting about them, listen
eagerly, storing the details to be told
over and over again to their som
sons, until they are tribal traditions
of the long past. AS they talk the
painter sits upon the ground with his
otCCl uioC opi eau OC1OiC I'LL anu
paints with his rude dyes pictures to
illustrate the incidents.
A circle represents a barricade or
encampment; awkwardly drawn pic
lures of animals stand for the horses
he has stolen; a galloping horse, with
man on his back, suggests the story
of wild flight across the prairie be-
fore pursuing enemies; a flag may
mean bloody battle won; tadpole-
like mark, scalped Indian. The
figures are very crude, the drawings
no better than those four-year-old
child makes on its slate. But some in
genuity is exercised in the grouping,
and each sketch is, in a way, a key
to the thrilling tales which in time
become history.

SELECTED QUEER PETS
GRIZZLY BEAR CUBS TRAINED ny
TRAPPER.
Amusing and Playful After Their Cap
turer Had Conquered the Call of
the Wlld-As Easy to Train
AS Any Dog.

One day while wandering in the
pine woods on the slope of Mount
Meeker l came upon two young grizz-
ly bears. Though they lodged about
as lively a chickens, | at last cor
nered them in a penlike pocket of
fallen trees.
Getting them into sack was one
of the liyeliest experiences | ever had.
Though small and almost starved,
these little orphans proceeded TO
Chew me up" after the manner of
big grizzlies, as is told of them in
books. After an exciting chase and
tussle l would catch one and thrust
him into the sack. In resisting he
would insert his claws into my
clothes, or thrust them through the
side of the sack; then. while was
trying to tear him loose, or to thrust
him forcibly in. he would lay hold of
finger, or take bite in my leg.
Whenever he bit at once dropped
him, and then all began over again.
Their mother had been killed few
days before l found them; so, of
course, they were famished and in
need of a home; but SO bitterly did
they resist my efforts that / barely
succeeded in taking them. Though
hardly as large as a collie when he is
at his prettiest, they were nimble
athletes.
At last I started home, the sack
over my shoulder, with these lively
Ursus horribilis in the bottom of 1t.
Their final demonstration was not
needed to convince me of the extra
ordinary power Of their jaws. Never
theless, while going down a steep
slope one managed to bite into my
back through sack and clothes. so ef-
fectively that l responded with a yell.
Then l fastened the sack at the end
Of long pole, which l carried across
my shoulder, and l was able to travel
the remainder of the distance to my
cabin without another attack in the
rear.
OF course the youngsters did not
need to be taught to eat. l simply
pushed their noses down into a basin
of milk, and the little red tongues at
once began to ply; then raw eggs and
bread were dropped into the basin.
There was no hesitation between
courses; they simply gobbled the food
as long as kept it before them.
Jenny and Johnny were pets be-
/ fore shutdown. Though both were
alert, Johnny was the wiser and more
cheerful of the two. He took train
ing as readily as collie or shepherd
dog, and l have never seen any dog
more playful. All bears are keen of
wit, but he was the brightest one of
the wild folk that have ever known.
He grew rapidly, and ate me almost
out of supplies. We were intimate
friends in less than month, and l
spent much time playing and talking
with him. One Of the first things
taught him was, when hungry, to
stand erect with arms extended al
most horizontally, with palms for.
