Twice Escaped Death
Plans Carefully Laid

Sorcerers in Papua, or New Guinea,
seldom attempt to employ their "puri-
puri," as native magic is termed,
against white men, but twice one Mira
Ga did seek to avenge fancied wrong
by bringing about the death Of Merlin
Moore Taylor, the writer relates In
'The Heart of Black Papua."
The first attempt was frustrated
when native discovered that a COCO
nut handed the white man contained
minute slivers of bamboo in the nuts
milk. II swallowed, these bits of fiber
would penetrate the delicate tissues Of
the vital organs, causing Inflammation
and eventually death.
Later Taylor narrowly escaped
death from a snake which charged
toward him while he was walking
along q narrow path. The sorcerer
had captured the poisonous reptile,
tied a moose Of plant vine back Of Its
head, and placed 1t in q pot over q fire
with handkerchief owned by Taylor.
Tortured by the heat, the snake asso-
ciated the scent Of the handkerchief
with its torture, and when released
sought to attack the person whose
scent was similar to that Of the hand
kerchief.
The witch doctor then became re-
signed and disappeared into the jungle
until the white man had departed.

On the Trolley Car

On board the trolley car which plies
between the Sixty.ninth street termi-
nal and Easton q man and wife were
in earnest conversation. The man
had been speaking In subdued tones
when his wife burst out with: "She
wasn't. She wasn't to blame. II
there's any blame to be fixed 1t be-
longs to the husband. I think she
was entirely justified. Any woman in
her place would have done the same.
I don't care II the meals were late.
She loved him and that made It all
right" No. gentle reader. this isn't
the sort Of marital difficulty you sus-
pect. The husband Of the woman
who spoke the foregoing, exclaimed:
But any woman that wastes all aft
ernoon on a Pekingese is a good-for-
nothing bum, and any man who stands
for such nonsense, deserves to get in

Cause Of "Cold" Mystery

In spite Of all attempts to deter
mine the specific cause of the common
cold, the cause remains unknown. A
cold, as the doctors explain 1t, is q
catarrhal Inflammation Of the lining
Of the nose, mouth and throat. It ID
held by some to be due to infection
with some peculiar germ which as yet
has not been found. Some think that
this micro-organism is 20 small that
1t cannot be detected even by the most
delicate instrument. At various
times various bacteria have been
thought to be the cause Of colds, but
no definite organism has yet been
chosen to bear the blame. Medical au-
thorities generally are not quite agreed
as to the bacterial origin Of the dis
ease. Evidence is still being collected
and weighed.-Kansas City Times.
