Chief Porter
Is RerliniSc cent

1t is not generally known that Chief
of Police Porter has seen many years
of service in the police and detective
line, for he is not given to talking of
his exploits Nevertheless, it is a
fact that he was for many years con-
nected with the Missouri Detective
Association at St. Joe, Mo-, and also
for several years plain clothes man
ON the Atchison, Kan, police force.
Reticent as he is, however, he occa-
sionally gets in a reminiscent mood,
and when he does so is an interest
ing talker out Of his fund Of expert
ences.
He fold the reporter an amusing
story the other day which goes
strongly to show how much unjust
suspicion there is in this world. How
we are all inclined to put the worst
possible construction on the acts of
even our loved ones.
"One day." said Mr.. Porter, 81
was sitting with the chief in the Of
flee at st. Joe, when woman came
in and asked our terms. She said
her husband was a railroad man and
had not been staying at home as
much as she thought he should
when in from his run, and she be-
lieved he had another woman on the
string and wanted him watched. He
would be on the porch with her about
9 o'clock the next morning so thai
the detective could come along ant
get a good look at him.
"She had not been gone half al
hour when a man came in and SAID
his wife was not acting right wher
he was home from his run on the
road and he believed she was having
visitors during his absence. He gave
the same address as the woman.
after they ieft," continued Mr.
Porter, "the chief and l had a good
laugh. The next morning l walked
down past the place designated ant
there they both were on the porcf
together. shadowed the man ant
we put a woman to shadow the wife
and at the end of five days, as
agreed, the woman came in for {
report. The chief told her he wat
too busy to see her just then ant
showed her into an inner room tt
wait. In a few minutes the mar
came in for his report. The chic
stepped to the door and called in the
wife. Now see here he said, 'yo,
two fools have paid out $50 of hard
earned money just because you hat
little falling out and each one sus
pected the other. That is all there
is wrong with either, so just go home
and behave yourselves
Mr.. Porter IN Ieinng the story sale
it was one of many instances wher'
they were asked to shadow some on'
who was all right, simple jealous,
and misunderstanding were all ther'
were of it.

THE TOMB OF JONAH.

Site of NinevOh.
The site Of ,Nineveh - almost per-
rectly level But adjoining the western
wall are two huge mounds concealing
the palaces Of the, greatest kings of
Assyria. The lower or southern mound
Is occupied by a mosque and a village
OF considerable size. Its name is Nebi
Yunus, or the Prophet Jonah, for In
the mosque is the tomb in which Jonah
Is said to have been buried. The age
OF the tomb Is uncertain. yet probably
1t dates from long after the Hebrew
prophets time. However, the place Is
now sacred. SO sacred that pilgrims
visit 1t from afar.

Of the village to the mosque, and, to

Dead Sea Stiffness.
The Dead sea is a vast lake about
nine hours ride from Jerusalem. The
waters of the lake, save for an almost
imperceptible ripple, are quite still and
tolerably transparent, but salt and "bit-
ter beyond bitterness" aud SO buoyant
that one can float upon them like q
cork. and to swim it is only necessary
to move the hands. The surrounding
scenery is dreary in the extreme and in
parts singularly grand. But the still
ness Is oppressive and depressing, for
there is no sound Of animal life or
song of bird ever heard on the lonely
chores Of the famous lake.
