It Is undeniably true that there are
certain drugs which if administered
with skilL would be almost impossible
to detect Their symptoms are practl
cally Identical with those of familiar
diseases and a little while after death
they decompose change form and dis
appear
It would be possible too to innocn
late a victim with the germs of some
deadly malady He would then go to
his grave with a real case of consump
tion or pneumonia or loci jaw and
there would be nothing to arouse the
shadow of suspicion I believe firmly
that such crimes are committed and
never discovered but- I believe also
that they are very rare The real safe
guard of a community lies in the fact
that so few murderers possess the req
uisite skill
Educated people seldom commit de
liberate murder continued the doctor
and the uneducated mind instinctive
ly associates poison with two sub
stances arsenic and strychnine They
are the deadly drugs most familiar to
the public and fortunately they are
easily detected Murder by arsenic Is
infinitely cliimsy To begin with the
symptoms are marked and peculiar i
ii JJnf n mptiiliip nrnfliint Its tnwes re-
mimn In the body an Indefinite time
liast summer a woman in
loua Spain confessed that she had
poisoned her sister with arsenic 10
years before The grave was opened
and the cofiin round to contain nothing
but dust ami ashes but a chemical test
showed unmistakably the presence of
the drug
Mrs Maybriok was accused of kill
Ins her husband with arsenic and the
test revealed 1t plainly not only In the
remains but in certain medicines TJbe
demonstration was so conclusive that
she finally arose in court and admitted
-giving him a white powder but insist
ed that she followed his own express
directions
6ne f the most Ingiious cases of
poisoning I ever henrd of occurred
some years ago in another state A
young physician plotted to kill a
wealthy farmer He knew the latter
was taking quinine for a cold and
meeting him one day asked to see
what size capsules he used While
pretending to examine them he slip
ped in one containing strychnine The
fariner happened on it nearly a week
later and died in convulsions An au
topsy revealed the poison but the af
fair was a deep mystery until the doc
tor committed suicide leaving a writ
ten confession
The poisonings that occur in novels
and on the stage are usually very
amusing to a student of toxicology
said the physician in conclusion 1
remember in Saral of Posen which
was produced with such success by M
B Curtis the drummer hero was tem
porarily knocked out by a poisoned ci
gar He took two or three whiffs and
oyer he rolled I would like very much
to know the name of the drug that
would produce that sort of effect
t Nearly all the poisoning in fiction Is
v known English romance In which the
ft heroine inhales the fragrance of a
bunch of roses and Instantly falls dead
Needless to say the poisoned perfume
is wholly unknown to science
Another story But I could keep
on citing instances all night History
w isnt much better Most of the yarns
of the Borgias and Medicis are pure
a H moonshine especially those aboutpoi
m soned gloves poisoned tapers and oth
er uiijmcuuuiis ui ui ugs or luiugs uiiti
t are touched or handled
The tale of the book which was
anointed on the margins with some
deadly substance that killed the per
son who moistened his fingers to turn
the leaves has possibly a foundation in
truth but I confess I would be puz
zled to know how to prepare such a
volume Almost anything that might
be used would instantly betray Itself
by Its taste

He niBlipd His Life to Save That of a
Fellow Workman
H er Franklin a young man
plptU at the Clear Creek mine is tis
muvu a nero as any man wno ever
braved death on the battlefield Frank
lin sought not glory but to save a hu
man life There was a fire in the mine
The men were called out Then they
A recent newspaper article said a were about to shut off the air in order
physician called attention Jto two to stop the flames when it was learned
curious facts or rather alleged facts that a lone miner was working deep in
abdut poison First thatit is so the mine beyond the point where the
dom resorted to by murderers and e started and was then raging with
nnA fw it i nimnRt inrnrin growing strength Here is the story
of be events

flames and the cry of Powderl
caused a hasty retreat
Finally Heber Franklin a young man
whose work keeps him on the outside
said I will go And accompanying
Foreman Thomas he pressed on
through the fire and found the man
working away tanipfng a hole entire
ly unconscious of the danger threaten
ing him They succeeded in getting
out of the mine safely when the fan
was shut off and the dip closed up
The rescue was an act of great bravery 1
on the part of Franklin as his work
kept him on the outside and he was
unacquainted with the exact lay of the
land inside and the danger of suffoca
tion from black damp was great He
was the only man of the many stand
ing by whose nerve did not desert him
It is stated upon good authority that
ten minutes more of lost time wrould
have resulted in the death of the miner
who was at work and possibly a great
loss to the company as the supply of
air could not be cut off while there was
nay hope of rescue and this would
have tended to feed the flames Salt

WASHINGTONS LAST YEARS
His Happy Life With His Wife at
Monnt Vernon
At the time of his retirement to
Mount Vernon after the expiration of
his term as president the tall figure
of Washington was only slightly bent
and he was still supposed to weigh up
ward of 200 pounds writes William
Perrine of The Last Years of Wash
ingtons Life In The Ladies Home
Journal
Excepting his -gray hair and his
false teeth and seme trouble in hear
ing there was little of the usual ap
pearance of age in his muscular per
son his gait and his strong pock
marked face He was affable and
merry with his best friends but while
he had the true hospitality of a south
ern gentleman in inviting- every- vis
itor from a distance to his table or to a
bed over night his politeness was gen
erally formal Yet if he particularly
enjoyed the conversation of a guest he
would pay him the compliment of lis
tening to bim until after 9 oclock or
even of lighting him with the candle to
a bedroom for the night
Mrs Washington at this time was a
healthy pleasant and unostentatious
little woman still showing traces of
good looks and with seldom an other
thought than of playing respectably
her role of mistress of the house of a
country gentleman of caring for thej
negroes or of amusing hersself with her
knitting She had great pride In her
recipe for making cherry bounce
and on a midsummer day she cut out
32 pairs of breeches for the men work
ing on the farm She had saad that
she and the general felt like children
just released from school when he left
the presidency and she told of her
satisfaction in settling down again to
the duties of an old fashioned- Vir
ginia housekeeper steady as a clock
busy as a bee and cheerful as a crick

The Buccaneers
The original boucaniers were a
wild and picturesque gang To the
waist they were generally clothed in
a sunburned and weather beaten skin
and they wore pantaloons of a coarse
linen dyed and stiffened with the blood
of bulls and pigs and held up bya belt
of rawhide stuck full of deadly knives
Their apparel terminated with pigskin
boots and no stockings and they car
ried a long barreled I firelock loaded
with ounce balls of tead
They were animated with a common
hatred of the Spaniard which in their
eyes justified any attack upon his per
son or property and by a wild sort of
attachment to each other in their peril
ous lives which led to their being
known as the Brethren of the Coast
- When the Spaniards drove them into
the career of maraiaders upon the
sea the word buccal ieer took a new
meaning though ther were also known
as freebooters This was a mongrel
English word button being Dutch
and bueten Germn for plunder Of
this word the French made fribus
ter with the s sllentj and then soften-ed-It
to fibbristler which the Span
iards modified into- ftlibustero So we
finally got the woifd back with a new
meaning and a srieciil application as
