woman's culpability, but many
of the statements she is alleged
to have put forth in recounting
the details of her deed and her
motives are palpably false and
may be an expansion of her real
utterances.
According to an extract from
a purported first confession TAX
en- from the Los Angeles Exam
aminer, she states that she was
for some time prior to the COM
mission of her wild act, a victim
of insomnia, unpleasant dreams
and worriment over personal af-
fairs; that in a semi-somnambul-
istic mental state thus produced,
she gave way to hallucinatory
impulses and mailed the candy
to the Dagg family at San Diego;
that she was SO thoroughly in a
semi-trance that she left her
home after midnight in her night
dress and mailed the candy pack
age surreptitiously at the Wins
low postoffice. In view of the
public location of that institution
and the continuous presence of
men on the streets nearby, this
may be dismissed as improbable.
The entire circumstances ac-
companying her misuse of the
mails would indicate a deliber-
ately planned operation, includ-
ing the malevolent use of an in
nocent persons s name as a shield
In fact, Mrs. Burke's conduct af-
ter the mailing of the package is
the chief support of claims Of IT.

silent and inactive, it would have
been difficult to connect her with
the attempted crime. But i'm
patient curiosity and q frantic
desire to get back the chief in
eliminating exhibit-the wrap
per around the candy package
led to the employment of the SER
vices of detectives in Los An
eeles and the aEpAsing of suspic-
ions eliminating in her arrest
and confession of guilt.
According to statements pub
lished as emanating from the po-
lice in Los Angeles, analysis
showed that the candy was
''doped" with bi-chloride of mer-
curry, a deadly corrosive having
a gradually paralyzing effect up
on the vital functions, especially
the kidneys, comparatively small
quantities producing r t a | n
death.
Aside from the federal penal
ties exacted for the misuse Of
the mails, Mrs. Burke is liable
under the statutes of both Cali
fornia and Arizona, In Arizona
it is a criminal offense to mix
poison with food with intent to
give to another person. There is
similar statute in California.
Mrs. Burke is now in the hands
of the state authorities Of Cali
fornia at San Diego, where she
was brought from the place of
arrest Monday. An attorney has
been engaged by her husband,
who is with her, and has already
given to the press announcement
of his intention to seek to estab-
lish his clients insanity. IF the
attitude of the detectives and the
prosecuting witnesses shall coin
eide with this. it seems likely
that the case will eliminate with
her incarceration in an asylum,
1t is as yet impossible to make
definite prediction, however.
In the event of a federal charge
being pressed, the resultant tria-
might be held in Winslow, though
this would be entirely optiona
with the court, federal court pro
cesses being flexible within the
established districts. But if The

OriQin of Word Strike"

The earliest use of the word strike" in the sense of stopping work, occurs in the London Chronicle for September, 1765, in connection win a coal strike. The publication r"ports great suspension of labor in the Northumbrian coal fields, and the colliers are stated to have struck out for a higher bounty before enter ing into their usual yearly bond " The time-honored illustration of profit less labor. carrying coals to Newcas- tie appears to have received its first slap in the face during this strike. The Chronicle reports that several poFes of coal were brought from Dur ham to Newcastle by one of the com mon carriers, and sold on the sand hills for 9d poke, by which he cleared Cd coke"

Paid for His lnterruption.

Rodger, the great French tenor. was a sensitive soul, and was prone to take offense at any slight, whether inten- tional or not.
 On one occasion he was engaged to sing at the house of a wealthy finan- cier. Rodger sang his first song mag nificently; but no one paid the slight est attention to him, and the guests continued to talk their loudest.
 Presently the host thought the time had come for another song, and sent for Rodger. He could not be found. Next day there came a note from him, accompanied by 1,500 francs. The note ran something like this;
 'T have the honor to return the twelve hundred francs which I re- ceived for singing at your function i, and l beg leave to add three hundred francs thereto for having so disturbed the conversation of your guests

Tricks of the Baduer.

So widely do the holes of badgers ramify that Col. Afford Lucts, a Brit ish sportsman, had a force of eight men digging for ten days and finally abandoned the attempt to come up with the badgers. It Is believed that badgers spring traps by rolling over them on their back The operation has been observed by many credible witnesses, to say nothing of the ire quent discovery in traps of hairs from badgers backs. Among their fa- vorite foods is honey. At the London zoo one may often see a visitor with a pot of honey scraping out the sweet with a walking stick and then giving the end of the stick to badgers to suck. Formerly badger meat was prized in England. the hind quarters being made into hams, which, when cured, were said to be as good as the best bacon. Badger meat is an un- common article diet in England at present.

MUCH POWER IN SUGGESTION
IF One Win PerseVere in Treatment.

By the method known as "sugges- tion," it IS possible (according to a medical writer) not only to perform the simple experiment of waking one self at a given hour in the morning, hut also to banish all minor physical ailments and even to correct faults in the character.
 Just as in the first instance the ex- Eerimenter before going to sleep at night makes a mental request to him self that he shall awake at a certain time on the following morning, so in more important matters he suggests to himse elf condition of health or a method Of conduct.
 To take two instances. Supposing you suffer from insomnia, you focus your whole attention upon the repe. tition four times day of given for mula. Thus you may say to yourself that you trouble no more about the matter, merely repeating the state ment at intervals, In two or three days at most the effect-according to the authority-will be felt in sound slumbers.
 Much the same process is adopted where it is desired to break onself of q bad habit
 The theory is that the remark or statement is addressed to your uncon- scious mind, which responds to your desires when expressed in this way.

OLD LONDON AND ITS ALE
Matter That Was Taken Most Seri- ousiy in the Past, and Authori-
 ties Were Watchful.

The publication of official figures to prove that London is drinking more reminds one how careful the authori- ties were in the past lest the Lon doner should miss his full share Of ale. In the sixteenth century, for in stance, the brewer who ceased to brew was faced with the loss of his business. Thus, if the mayor got wind Of any of the saide brewers, or their frowarde and perverse myndes, shall at any time hereafter sodenly for beare and absteyne from bruying, whereby the kings subjects should be destitute or unprovided of drynke, he knew exactly what to do. The city council was empowered to take over the business as going concern, and to take measures to see that it was kept going.
 The cry then and for centuries after was all for beer There is record of a petition of 1873, for instance, pray ing that tea, coffee and brandy be banned. The petitioners reasoned that the laborers needed good strong beer and ale" which refreshed their bodies, and neither did them prejudice nor hindered their work. Besides, it cost little, and was the product of home grown grain, whereas the new-fangled drink was expensive and destroyed his maiestys subjects. not agreeing with their constitution" - London ChrOnicle
