MADE THIEF BETRAY HIMSELF
American indians Used Test That Was
Common In Justice Courts Of
the Middle Ages.

Certain tribes of Indians, according
to Prof Pillsbury, of the department
OIL psychology at the University OF
Michigan, had curious way of deter
mining the guilt or innocence of any
member of their tribe accused of theft.
"One may observe directly" says
Prof. Pillsbury, the dryness of the
mouth in the instance of fear or grief.
Strong emotinal excitement checks
the flow of saliva and causes this dry
ness, while an increased flow will be
noticed in the various pleasurable
mental states. Acting upon the as
sumption that the knowledge of guilt
would engender feeling of dread in
the mind of the person guilty of the
theft, thus stopping the flow OF
saliva, whereas innocence would excite
no feeling of fear, the Indians gave
the suspected members a quantity OF
dry rice to place in their mouth. The
rice was kept in the mouth for a few
minutes and then spewed out. The
suspect whose rice was still dry was
adjudged guilty of the theft without
further trial, and punished according
ly."

Scotland INDICATED.

A golfer dropped into a, New York
store to buy driver.
This club is off balance" he re-
marked to the clerk, as he jiggled a
nice looking brassie.
''That is a special-order club. Let
me have it, please" said the clerk
nervously, piquing the curiosity of the
shopper.
The manager, an old friend of the
golfer happened along just then.
''Bill," asked the customer, what
the deuce is the matter with this cluhi
Just heft the darn thing. It's all Of
balance"
Bill looked wise, and he looked all
around carefully, then he replied, in q
stage whisper: Pete, that is the best
club in the bag. 1t holds just two
drinks of hooch. See here, how the
handle is followed out"
And Scotland was vindicated.-NeV

The Dog In Scripture.

There are few boy lives or man lives
In which dog has no place, and no
other domestic animal has so many
contradictory characterizatfbns in
literature or in current speech. The
Jewish law declared the dog "unclean, .
and the most offensive epithet a Jew
could use was to declare a man
"a dead dog" Moses refused the Of
fering of the price of dog in the
tabernacle, an early instance of faint
ed money; while Christ in Revelations
excludes dogs from heaven in the pas
sage: sFor without are dogs, and
sorcerers, and murderers, and

naketh lie." We recall but one
tolerant expression about the dog in
Scripture-''for a living dog is better
than dead lion"

Bachelors and Children.

Commenting on John Galsworthy's
book on childhood, Awakening, a
critic remarks that men, and especial
" bachelors, are the best historians Of
childhood. 1t was Charles Lamb who
wrote Dream Children" Lamb, by the
way, was scarcely an inyeterate bache-
Tor, as he would have married Ann
Simmons If she had been willing, and
there was also "Alice w." as well as
Fanny Kelly, the actress, who refused
him. It was the lonely Barrie who
wrote "Peter Pan" And few descrip-
lions of children-not dream children
or Peter Pans, but of actual child life
can .surpass the pictures drawn by
E. Nesbitt (Irs Hubert Bland) In

FOLLOWED ERIK THE RED"
land About 9s4, but Finally
Completely Disappeared.

Erik Rufus, vulgarly dubbed 1.-THE
Red" ran on to Greenland in 9S1.
Erik's Norwegian father had found
it convenient TO go with his family to
Iceland to escape the strong hand Of
the law, which was reaching out for
him on account Of murder he had
committed in his native land.
Young Erik had not been in Ice
land long before he, too, became in
volved in dispute with fellow
townsman, and with the termination
Of the argument Erik's antagonist
was dead. In attempting to escape
the pursuit of justice he accidentally
discovered the coast of Greenland.
Having spent two or three years in
exploring the country he had found,
he somehow obtained the pardon OF
the folks back in Iceland, and de-
cided to pay them visit.
He insisted that, in contrast to Ice
land, the new country was a land OF
green meadows and rich pastures
Astounding in cattle and every species
of game. His enthusiasm, or his eff
frontery, worked like magic, and he
went back to Greenland, which he had
named himself, with a numerous fol
lowing. The colony prospered under
Erik's successors-it once numbered
1000, but disappeared completely in
the fifteenth century. Whether the
settlers all persisted or were gradual
~ "assimilated" by the Eskimos, nc
man knows.

says "the poor world is almost GOO
years old, but biologists began to
abandon that idea two generations
ago. The Jewish Encyclopedia article.
Chronology" states that the figures
given In the geneaiogies Of Genesis
of which there are three distinct YER
eions, the Hebrew, the Samaritan and
the Greek-are mythical, and the
Catholic Encyclopedia, under the same
caption points out that in the year
1000 III, G. great kingdoms were al

continent has produced-James Dwight
Dana and Sir John William Dawson,
OF Mcl3iH university, Montreal-both
of them extremely devout men, after
starting out with orthodox views on
the subject, made radical changes in
the latest editions Of their works
Biologists are now practically
agreed that man dates from the late

13 Bishops to Attend.

The thirteen bishops. of the district will be among the members of the con- ference and delegates chosen from each church in the district. It is probable that the meeting will be held in the municipal auditorium. The usual re- duced rates to the conference will be in effect and it is thought that the fact that the conference is being held at Hot Springs will bring many persons to the conference who have not pre- viously visited Arkansas. The Busi- ness Mems League of Hot Springs and the official board of the church are backing the proposition to bring the conference into the state.
 The conference is held only once in every four years, Dr. Miller says and is the law making body of the church. At this meeting the, policies for the ensuing four years are determined and necessary laws for church manage ment are passed: bishops elected as needed and education secretaries, mis- sionaries secretaries and editors of the Christian Advocate of Nashville and the Christian Review are select ed. The church policies during the past four years have included the cen e>-nary missionary movement and the educan~aal movement which has just been closed.--cazette.

SHOT WHILE
 BURGLARIZING

Saturday night between Il and F o'clock, A. Avery on route 6 shot and seriously injured H. T. Magnenat as the latter entered MT. Avery's store in an attempt to burglarize it.
 For some time MT. Avery has been missing things from his store and tried several time to catch the thief. He had about given up hope Saturday night and started for the door, when he heard a key turn in the door. Drop ping behind the stove, he saw the man enter. It had not been the intention of MT. Avery to shoot, but Magnenat was carrying a gun, so it was only choice of shooting or getting shot and he shot, hitting Magnenat in both arms and back, one arm being seriously shot. However, Magnenat managed to run from the store and get home before the effect of the shooting set in. Physi- clans were called and yesterday Mag nenat was removed to the Park Sanita- rum where he is being treated.
