CADOUT @ (10ZeN yeurs Ago, WS Dearly
as 1 remember, this young man wen
on a visit to a relative in a neighbor
ing city, and owe afternoon, on the
third or fourth day of his stay, he
startled a lady member of the house
hold by remarking that he ‘had a feel |
ing’ that some misfortune had over
taken a wealthy, planter whom they
both knew very well, and whom 1 will
call Colonel Jones, The colonel was &
prominent resident of the doctor's
home town and had a large outlying
estate, which he was in the habit of
visiting once a week.
“On the day of Smith's singular pre
monition he was on one of those tours
of Inspection, but failed to come back,
and the following morning his corpsé
was found lying in a cornfield. He
had evidenty been dead about 24
hours, and from the appearance of the
body seemed to have been seized with
some sort of fit or convulsion.
“Of course the affair created a great
stir, and the police made a pretty
thorough investigation, but the only
thing they found that merited any |
special attention was a small, round |
wial in the dead man’s vist pocket. It |
was about the diameter of a lead pen- |
«il by four inches long, and had orig: |
‘4nally contained a couple of dozen |
medicinal tablets, which, lying one on
top of the other, filled the little bottle |
to the cork. A few still vemained in|
‘the bottom.
“Upon inquiry it was learned with
out trouble that the tablets were a
harmless preparation of soda, and that |
Jones himself had bought them at al
focal drug store. That ended suspicion | |
in that quarter, and, for lack of any- |
thing better, the coroner returned 8!
verdict of death from sunstroke. |
There was no autopsy.
“Some time after Jones had beep |
buried,” continued the police commis.
sioner, “I learned accidentally of Dr. |
Smith's curious prophecy, and it set
me to thinking. Eventually I evolved |
a theory, but it was impossible at the
time to sustain it with proof, and for |
five or six years I kept it pigeonholed
in my brain, waiting for something to
happen. Meanwhile, to everybody's
surprise, Dr. Smith went to the dogs. |
He began by drinking heavily, grad- |
ually lost his practice, and finally |
skipped ‘out to avoid prosecution for |
cashing a fake draft. After his flight |
1 learned enough to absolutely confirm |
my theory as to Jones’ death. What |
had really happened was this: |
“Dr. Smith owed the old man a con- |
siderable sum of money and had given |
a note, upon which he had forged his |
father’s name as indorser. The plant
er was pressing him for payment and |
had threatened suit, which meant iu-
evitable exposure. One day, while]
they were conversing, Jones pulled out
a little glass vial and swallowed one
of the tablets it contained, remarking |
that he took one daily, after dinner, |
for sour stomach.
“That suggested a diabolical scheme |
of assassination, which the doctor pro |
ceeded to put into execution. Repair
Ing to his office, he made up a duplicate
Agablet of strychnine, and, encountering
the colonel next day, asked him to let
him have the vial for a moment, so he
could copy the address of the makers
from the label.
“Jones handed it over unsuspecting
y and while his attention was briefly
iverted elsewhere Smith put in the
prepared tablet. He placed it under
the top four, thus making it reason-
ably certain that his victim would take
it on the fifth day from that date.
- Next morning he left town, so as to
be far away when the tragedy was
consummated, and some mysterious
uncontrollable impulse evidently led
him to make the prediction that first
excited my suspicion.
“When ! made certain of all this, I
located Smith in Oklahoma and was |
on the point of applying for an extradi-
tion warrant when he anticipated me
by contracting pneumonia and dying.
1 thereupon returned the case to its
mental pigeonhole, where it has re-
mained ever since.” '
“Pardon me for asking,” said one of
the listeners, “but is that really a true
story, or are you entertaining us with
Interesting fiction?”
“It is absolutely true,” replied the
narrator.
“But how did you learn the particu-
ars?’
“Well,” said the police commissioner,
smiling, “Smith was like most clever
eriminals—--he had one weak spot, He
was fool enough to tell a woman. She

ARMORED COFFINS.
They Were Once Used In a Church.
yard In Scotland,
In the earlier half of the nineteenth
century the practice of stealing bodles
from the churchyards for the purpose
of sale as subjects for dissection, which
was known as “body snatching,” was
for a time very rife.
Various plans were made to defeat
the nefarious and sacrilegious proceed:
ings of the ‘body snatchers,” or “resur-
rectionists,” as they were sometimes |
| called, a very common one being the
erection of two or more small watch
houses whose windows commanded
the whole burying ground, and In
which the friends of the deceased
mounted guard for a number of nights |
after the funeral.
A usual method of the grave robbers
was to dig down to the head of the
| coffin and bore in it a large round hole
| by means of a specially constructed |
center bit. It was to counteract this |
maneuver that the two curious coffin:
| Sike relics now lying on either side of |
the door of the ruined church of Aber-
foyle, in Perthshire, were constructed.
They are solid masses of cast iron of
enormous weight.
When an interment took place one of |
these massive slabs was lowered by
| suitable derricks, tackles and chains
on to the top of the coffin, the grav
was filled in, and there it was left fc
| some considerable time. Later on tb
grave was opened and the iron armo
plate was removed and laid aside
ready for another funeral.
These contrivances still lie on the
grass of the lonely little churchyard,

“Fifty cents,” replied the woman,
with a gulping in her throat and an
eager look in her eyes. She clutched
the money tightly and ran into another
creature, poor as herself, but bearing
her troubles in duller fashion. She
had a baby’s cloak, never costly and

Value of a Familiar Face,
An employee of the Chicags Tribune
once found the fact that his face was
familiar to the late Joseph Medill de-
cldedly to his advantage. In the last
years of his life Mr. Medill did not
spend much time in Chicago and took
no active part in the management ot
his paper, but when he was in the city
he went to his office pretty regularly.
He knew all the old faces, but few of
the new ones, and it was too late in life
for him to accustom himself to them,
He never knew to whom to give “copy”
that he wished printed if the managing
editor happened to be absent. On one
occasion he handed some to a repre.
sentative of another paper who chane-
2d to be in the building. The man had
been employed on The Tribune some
years previously, so his face was fa-
miliar to Mr. Medill, while the faces of
the men then actually in his employ
were not.
One day he suddenly inquired what
tad become of the old night editor.
“He's in Boston,” was the reply.
“Well, I want him,” said Mr. Medill.

Wouldn't Sell the House,
The house in which Joan of Are was
born is still faithfully preserved in
pious veneration at Domremy, where it
is looked upon almost in the light of a
shrine. Passersby invariably cross
themselves and utter a prayer for pro-
tection as they go by.
| The story goes that a rich and eccen-
| trie Englishman tried hard to buy the
| place in 1837. It was at that time the
property of a farmer named Girardin.
| The Englishmen offered to let him
name his own price, but the old man
held firm. “No, no, no,” he cried. “I
would not sell it even to a Frenchman,
much less to a foreigner and especially
an Englishman, People here would call
me a traitor and a coward were I to
Colonel Anderson was a wonderful |
part with the house from which Joan
of Arc set out to serve France.”
The Englishman convinced himselt
that further bargaining was useless
and went his way.
Soon after an officer from the king's
| household arrived in the village and
| asked to speak with Girardin. Before
| the whole village, assembled in the
| gtreet, he said: “Girardin, the king has
learned that you have refused to sell
| your house to an Englishman. He de
| mires to reward you, but not in coin.
| He knows that you no more want the
| money of the French than of the Eng
| lish, therefore has he commanded me
| to present you with the cross of the Le

Queer Oaths.
The Isle of Man like the soldier In
Jacque’s. familiar speech, is “full of |
strange oaths.” Mr. Shee, Q. C., before |
beginning his judicial duties as special |
commissioner in connection with the |
Dunbell case was required to swear
that he would administer justice as |
tmpartially “as the herring’s backbone
doth lie in the middle of the fish.” The |
Isle of Man is not the only place in the
world in which the animal kingdom
plays a part in the making of oaths. |
One of the many modes in which Chi-
nese witnesses are impressed with
the importance of telling the truth is
slicing off the head of a fowl, a cere. |
mony which is supposed to represent |
the unhappy fate of the perjurer. Many |
Indian witnesses were sworn on tigers’ |
| skins, in the belief that if they defile |
their lips with lies their bodies will |
become food for tigers, while others
stand on lizards’ skins and ask that
their bodies shall be covered with the |
| scales of the reptiles if they fail to tell
| the truth. A Norwegian witness asks |
that his meadows and cattle shall be
| cursed if he swears falsely. “Cursed
be my cattle,” he exclaims, “my beasts, |
my sheep, so that after this day they
| may never thrive or benefit me; yea,
| eursed may I be and everything I pos-
sess.”—London Globe.

The date of the flood was 1,656 years
after the birth of Adam, in the second
month and the seventeenth day. It be
gan then and continued for 40 days
and nights. This is how it is figured:
The third verse of the fifth chapter of |
Genesis reads thus, “And Adam lived |
180 years and begat a son in his own
Ukeness, after his image, and called his
name Seth.” Then in the sixth verse |
it is told that Seth lived 105 years and
begat Enos. Adam, says the fourth
verse, lived 800 years after the birth
of Seth, and the latter after the birth |
of Enos lived 807 years. So it goes on.
Bnos begat Cainan when he was 90; |
Cainan begat Mahalaleel when he was
75; Mahalaleel begat Jared when he
was 65; Jared begat Enoch when he
was 162. Methuselah was born to
Enoch when the latter was 65, and
when Methuselah was 187 he begat
Lamech, and Lamech’s son Noah came
into the world when the father was
182. This brings us down to the birth
of Noah, which, according to the added
ages of the several patriarchs at the
time their sons were born, occurred
1,056 years after the birth of Adam.
In the seventh chapter of Gensis the
eleventh verse reads as follows: “In
the six hundredth year of Noah’s life,
in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day were all
the fountains of the great deep broken
up and all the windows of heaven
were opened.” This was the flood,
and it came to pass in the year 1658 |
after the birth of Adam.—~New York |
