House of Mystery to Be
Star Attraction at the
Big University Carnival

Do you believe in spirits? Is there
such a thing AS magic? Most assured
~ there is and that fact will be amply
demonstrated at the university carni-
val on Wednesday and Thursday. II
YOU are Il non-believer in the mysti-
cism of black art go to tho under
world in the basement of the univer-
sity gymnasium and Your conversion
will be guaranteed. If Q are a skep-
tic. see for yourself the workings of
the demons of other worlds.
The gymnasium basement is being
converted into a dungeon of hideous
unreality, and there during the carni-
Val the black art show will be run
for the benefit of The favored few.
II YOU are lucky enough to be able
to procure a %credential slip from the
ticket seller and car pass muster for
the dor keeper. YOU will have an OPP
portunity of seeing some pure un-
adulterated. hair-raising features of
super-human power. The doings of
the witches of the ancients will sink
into oblivion alongside of the moro
refined performances of these modern
spirits.
The entire performance will be un-
der the direction of lrakerine. the
Hindo, a direct descendant of Herman
the Great and several other notables.

water, removing corns. warts, and

or.
Il dressed them. told the woman
who was there what sort of care the
patient ought to have. and then told
them that I'd have to see the nan at
least w or three times more before
l could answer for his safe recovery.
The man with the dark glasses
quietly asscnted to this. but insisted
that he should bring me at night, as
he had that time. I agreed.
The next morning the apers told
Of a robbery. in which a householder
had been wounded. after shooting one
Of the burglars. who succeeded in es-
Gaping. All the facts of the case indi-
Gated that my patient of the night be-
fore was the burglar who had been
shot. l felt sure l could locate the
house. The householder recovered
quickly.
The question stared at me: Did
the ethics of the medical profession
allow me to go to the police and tell
them what ] knew. or did my promise
bind me to secrecy? thought 1t over
all day and finally decided that ! had
no right to say anything about tho
matter. ! made three more trips in
the same manner, and finally decided
that the man would get along with
out any more calls. All this time l
watched the patient. but no trace was
found of the burglars. When made
my last visit | told the man who had
first called on me that my fee would
he S25. He took from a large roll two
800 bills and handed them to me
without a wor He drove me homo
and that was the last l ever saw of
either of them.
That was a good many years ago,
but I've often wondered whether | did
right in not violating that mans con-
Il don't think you did" said a
member of the group. The medical
! profession has no right to shield a
criminal. Women and children should
he given the greatest protection we
can give them-the same as a vessel
at sca-but no word given a criminal
is binding"
But suppose it had turned out that
the man was not the burglar in qucs-
ton. l believe he was. hut it might
have been otherwise"
That's true said il third. lit was
all right to keep your promise So
long as O had no actual knowledge
that tho man was Il criminal. Where
YOU made Your mistake was in making
such a ridiculous agreement in the
first place"
And let a man. dangerously in
jurcd, suffer-" asked the first speak

right. go to great lengths to keep
secret. SO could either OF you.'

WHAT DIFFERENTIATION Can DO.

According To a statement just is
sued hv the national association for
tho study and prevention of tuhcr-
culosis. the death rate from tubcr-
culosis i'm the United States from
1ao1 to 1910 declined from 1863 for
each 100000 persons living 10 1903.
a decrease of 1871 per cent. while the
general death rate. including all caus-
es of death. declined only one-half
as fast. or at the rate of % per cont.
The decline in the tuberculosis death
rate in the last ten Years means IL
saving of $1,000 lives a year at the
present time.
The reason for the decline in tho
number OF deaths from tuberculosis
is not hard Ia find. The campaign
against this plague has been waged
with intelligence and determination.
There WAS a time. not long ago. when
it seemed that tuberculosis was for
ever to he the scourgc of tho United
States. ii was held to he incurahlc.
Science went to work on tuberrulo-
sis with ~ determination tn conquer
It. Physicians all over tho country
devoted all their time to the study of
the disease. Ihcir first discovery was
that it could bc contracted from dust
i'm which the germs had lodged. Their
next discovery was hat the progress
of the disease could hc halted 10y
plenty of fresh air and the right kind
Of diet. The most important [iscov-
cry of all was that n wall of firm It's
sues could be built about he affected
part of the lungs. effertinG Il perma-
nent cure. And once Il cure is Of
fected all that is necessary is for the
person who has been under treatment
to keep himself in good physical con-
dition. indulging in no excuses.
The war on tuberculosis. now prov
ing so successful. shows whHt deter-
mination can do. The disease is no
longer considered fatal. 1t is no long
or necessary for the person afflicted
to go to 4 milder climate The dis
ease can he cured anywhere if the
person affected will live up to the
treatnent. There never was u cam
paicn against disease that enlisted
the services of 81 many brilliant men
or in which more intelligence was
displayed. MI the energy Of the
greatest medical men was thrown in
to the fight. and TIL" result is becoim-
ing apparent. The battle has not vet
been won, but the statistics Just made
public signify that the enemy is in re-
treat.

ODD QUIRkS OF FOREIGN
LAW.
New T. SUM-

IL is said that Il Frenchnan, re-
DINING to an inquiry made Of him AS
TO the character n qualifications of
a woman applying for employment as
COOK got into serious trouble when
ne wrote that he could not recon-.
mend the applicant by reason Of her
cX~traNagHncc. im~pertinence and pre-.
objection To drink, while she was ir
his service. The person To whom tho
trcn"hman wrote the letter showed
The communication to the cook. with
the result that the latter irnmediately
brought suit for damages against the
writer.
This case showed a peculiar feature
of the French law on this subject,
writer. who was fined and admonish-
cd mat he had no right to circulate
INJURIOUS statements concerning an.
other person. even though the state.
ments might he true. Since that time,
it is said. French h~ousekeepers, "a
evade the responsibility thus placed
upon them by law. have issued GER
tlticates of character in form some.
thing like the following:
This certfies thai Nine. Marie. late
nurse to my daughter. aged one year
did not leave her on a bench in the
Jardin dcs Plantes and go away and
forget her on October IL last.
II is obvious that A certificate OF
TINS sort serves its without
in any way laying the writer open u
a suit for damages.
Another curious illustration of the
principle of responsibility abroad is
afforded by a civil damage suit grow.
ing out Of the breaking of a plate
glass window in a German town. A
witness had testified as follows:
"Aq u.ao nacSiru tnu.p tl,o -%.e.I
in front of the window ] saw a bic
stone come whirling through the air
l did not know whence it came. ]
saw il coming through the air and
had Just time enough to dodge tc
save myself from being hit by it."
The witness was sharply question
ed upon the point whether the stone
that broke the window would have
struck him had he O lodged it
He was then dismissed. Eventually
the decision Of the magistrate wal
this:
"1nasmuch as if the witness had
not unfortunately ducked his head
the glass would not have been struck
by the stone he is hereby adjudged
responsible for the breaking of the
window and Is ordered to pay to the
owner the value Of the same"
The Paris Concierge has always
been a privileged person. but he hat
acquired new importance within re.
cent years by reason Of a court de.
cision handed down there. A con.
cierge had permitted himself the lib.
erty of opening the letters Of a young
lady. n of the tenants of the house
Discovering the fact the youns
woman brought suit against the con.
cierge. The case was tried and was
decided against the young woman. II
being held that the responsibility OF
the state ended with the delivery OF
the mail to some person who was au.
thorized to receive it mo that the
concierge was such a person. Blu,
the court censured the concierge fol
being guilty Of an indelicacy."
There was nc redress for the own.
er of the letters beyond this and tc
complete the whole the concierge
next brought suit in his turn against
the young woman. This. however
was too much for any court. The
cass was dismissed without . hear.
