THE SALT SHAKER

apparently trivial fact Will solve
a mystery, that appeared insur=
mountable, l have been thinking
of case in Indiana, which it was
my lot to investigate on behalf of
the X. L. Insurance Co. 20 SIC.
In this case. there were two
chief suspects" said Jepson,
putting at his pipe-''tl1 wife and
the. son. But perhaps l had bet
ter go back to the beginning. A
wealthy farmer, Herman New,
had married a young wife in his
old age. His life was insured in
favor of his estate for $4,000.
"Ie died very suddenly one
evening after dinner; in the pres
ence of his. wife, his son by d
former marriage, and his two old
bachelor brothers, who lived with
him. The, doctor, struck by the
dead mans appearance, tele-
phoned for the police chief, and
the room was sealed up. At the
autopsy mercury in huge quanti-
ties was found in News stomach
Il was sent for to investigate
the matter. Which was the Grim
inal? The wife, affirmed the
son and two old nen-Eph and
Pete-witf emphasis. Her mo-
tive? Why, she had married him
for his money and wanted him
out of the way. Besides the old
man, who was very, secretive, had
intimated to her that he had left
the wife. sole heir to his property,
and what more natural than that
she had killed him before he

the other. He had told the son
that he had left him all his money,
and the son might we'll have
wanted him out of the way before
the wife persuaded him to change
his mind. As matter of fact, no
will existed.
"0n entering the room which
had been sealed l was struck by
the appearance of one of the salt
shakers, which was bright and
clean, whereas the others had
their tops incrusted with verdi
girls. Secreted this shaker, and
taking one of the rusted ones,
polished it carefully until the two
could not have been told apart.
Then l ordered the wife to pre-
pare a dinner | even made out
the menu; it consisted in part of
boiled fish and boiled potatoes,
and l insisted that no particle of
salt should be used IN the cook
ing, Her ready assent convinced
me that she was. not the guilty
person.
When the meaIwas. ready, we
all sat down together. AT the
first taste, however, the absence
of salt was clearly discernible.
There was but one shaker on the
table, the one l had polished, and
l kept this at my right hand and
waited. There we all sat, the.
son and uncles scowling at the
wife, and all eating the unsea-t
soned food with some disrelish.
Presently the wife reached out
her hand, took the shaker, and

The Worlds Debt for War.

"The war debt Of the world for
borrowed money, practically all used
for war purposes, amounts to nearly
0,006," says President
Jordan, of Leland Stanford Univer-
sity, in the June Worlds Work.
s"This sum is expressed in the End
less Caravan of Ciphers,' which car
ries no meaning to the average tax
payer, until he feels the pressure in
the rising cost of living, and in his
own difficulties in making both ends
meet. The interest charges OF the
world on it's national debt are about
s1,50O,00O,000 a year, and about
s2,5O0,0OO,000 are expended yearly
on standing armies and on battle
ships. If we were to sell out the
entire holdings of the United States,
capitalize the returns, and put the
whole sum at interest at per cent,
it would just about keep up the mill
tary expenses Of the world in time OF
peace"
