■ Indians Feared Results
I of Eating Wild Turkey
■ Buffalo meat was, of course, the
■ mainstay and universal dish of the
■ plains Indians naw, dried, jerked,
■ dried and pounded in the form of
■ pemmican of wasna, as the Sioux
I called it; sometimes mixed with ber-
■ rles gathered by the squaws, but gen
■ erally “Just plain wasna,” explains
■ Frank M Huston in Adventure Maga-
■ zine.
■ The hump and tongue were the
■ choicest portions when fresh, though
■ the latter was dried by thousands.
■ of course, in their season roots and
■ tubers, as well us wild fruits -espe-
■ dally w ild plums added to the larder.
■ Sometimes wild grapes were added to
■ gi'e a iessert finish; hut no Indian
■ would eat apples w hen first introduced
■ to them, nor would the men eat the
■ wild turkey lest they become coward
■ ly as the bird itself They believed—
■ as do our dietitians that “a man is
■ what he eats."
■ Fish to tile plains tribes was al-
■ most anathema, though some would
■ eat it when placed before them. But
■ Done would ever demean himself by
■ exertions in fishing. Meat was a
■ man’s food and "mnkes us strong."
I Wasteful Men
■ “Why, Jeremiah Jones!” exclaimed
■ Mrs Jones when her husband came in
H i safe and sound from a railroad jour-
Hf ney. “is this you?"
■ “Why. of course." said her husband.
■ “this is the time I expected to come
■ home, isn’t it?"
■ “And you haven’t had an accident
nor lost your arms and legs or been
■J killed?”
■ “How many times must I tell you
■ that nothing has happems!’." said the
irritated man.
■ “Well." declared the good lady, "you
H do beat all. 't here you went and paid
■ goori money for an insurance ticket
■ just before you left, and you haven’t
HL done a thing to get the reward. That’s
K money just wasted. Nite manager you
an-, Jeremiah Jones!”
Peculiar “Dark Day”
Never Yet Explained
The "dark day" Is so called on ac
count of a remarkable darkness on
that day, May 10, 1780, extending all
over the New Englund states. In some
places people could not see to read
common print in the open air for sev
eral hours together, says the Spring
field Republican. Birds sang their
evening song, disappeared and became
silent, fowls went to roost, cattle
sought the barnyards and candles were
lighted lu the houses.
As to the explanation of this phe
nomenon, scientists have been much
puzzled. It was plain, from the fall
ing of the barometer, that the air was
surcharged with heavy vapor. The
darkness then, It might be said, was
only the result of a dense fog, but
the question of the cause of so re
markable a fog was still unanswered.
Large tires may have prevailed that
spring in the forests of northern New
York and Pennsylvania—a region at
that time an absolute wilderness —the
smoke from which was borne through
the upper regions of the atmosphere,
to fall, when it came to a locality of
less buoyant air, down to the lower
strata. While it Is stated that these
fires might have recently preceded this
day and served as its sufficient cause,
there is only presumptive evidence
that they did occur.
Horse-Racing Old Sport
Ilorse-racing was known in England
in very early times. Fitz Stephen, in
the days of Henry 11, the first Plan
tagenet, mentions the delight taken by
the citizens of London In this diver
sion. In the reign of James I of Eng
land and VI of Scotland, the first king
to reign over both kingdoms, the cele
brated rnce courses were Croydon In
the South and Garterly in the North.
Near York there were races, and the
prize was a little golden bell. In the
later part of the reign of Charles 1
races were nin In Hyde park. London.
Charles II patronized these races, and
instead of bells ns prizes, he gave a
silver bowl, or cup. King William 111
added to the plates as did Queen Anne,
and William established an academy
for the teaching of riding.
Humorous Terrier
An animal with a decided sense of
humor Is the fox-terrier belonging to
Miss Hugill of Thornaby-oti-Tees, Eng
land. A visitor staying In the house
considered that the dog was too well
fed and insisted on his eating up all
the crusts that were left over. The
dog was not at all pleased with this
and used to hide the crusts. The vis
itor left, but returned some weeks
later. The moment the dog saw her.
he dashed off and returned with a very
large and very stale crust, which he
laid at the visitor's feet. Then he
looked up. as much as to say: “Well,
what about it?"
Authority on Cards
The expression “according to Hoyle"
refers to Edmond Hoyle, a writer on
games, who was born in England in
1672. Little is known about Hoyle's
life. Tradition says he was educated
for the bar. At any rate, he went to
London, where he spent much of his
time writing on games and giving les
sons in card playing, especially whist.
He published a book in which he sys
tematized the laws and rules of whist,
a game on which he w as considered an
authority. His name became prover
bial as an authority on games.
Playing u game “according to Hoyle"
came to mean playing it fair and ac
cording to the recognized rules. Hoyle
died in London in 1769.—Kansas City

Science Has Many Ways
of Finding Criminals
Identification by finger prints has
long passed the stage of argument
and Is considered almost absolute. In
fact it hus been laboriously estimated
that the simultaneous discovery of
two persons with identical finger
prints might occur once in a number
of centuries running into forty nine
figures, from the examination of 5,-
OOO.OOO.tXM) persons, in each century,
says L’Avenir, Paris.
Criminologists, however, do not con
sider identification certain unless there
are more than twelve points of similar
ity between the partial imprint left at
the scene of the crime and the re
corded deetylograph of the suspect,
Professor Balthasard having demon
strated thut, in order to find twelve
coinciding features, very nearly 17,-
000,000 imprints would have to be ex
amined.
But a criminal may leave other
marks than those of bls fingers. He
may bear on his body or clothing evi
dence that he has been at the scene
of the crime.. Tbo mark of a bite may
be as valuable as a signature. The
print of a bare foot is almost as char
acteristic as that of a hand. ’Fhere
are not only the marks left by the
shoes of the criminal in soft ground,
in blood stains or on certain pieces of
furniture —marks which may serve to
Identify him because of the position of
the shoe nails or the manner in which
the heels or soles are worn down;
but even particles of dust, coal and
varnish on the clothing of the mur
derer and his victim are of valuable
assistance to the investigators.
Exhibition of Fakes
to Help Out Critics
An exhibit of counterfeits, Imita
tions and copies of works of art was
held in London a short time ago. The
object of the exhibition, which In
cluded pictures, drawings, furniture,
carpets, metal work, ceramics and
sculpture, was to help students, col
lectors and critics In the study of
problems of quality and originality,
as also of period and school. In many
cases this object was furthered by
comparison of the copy with the orig
inal, or tiie Imitation with an au
thenticated example of the style and
period aimed at; and works produced
for Innocent purposes of record, re
production, duplication and repetition
and examples of restoration and re
pair, as well as works Intended to
deceive, are Included.
At any rate, as regards the pic
tures, one comforting conclusion Is
that It is. on the whole, easier for
the forger to Imitate those qualities
which appeal to the collector as col
lector —such as “the tone of time”
and cracks in the surface —than the
basic qualities of a great work of
art, such as drawing and design.
Her Appetite Triumphed
Max Muretzek. the impresario, had
a large repertoire of stories. Henry T.
Finck, the music critic, repeats one of
them In his new book, "Musical
Laughs.” Maretzek on a trip from Cin
cinnati to Baltimore, feeling hungry,
bought a big sausage and a loaf of
rye bread. Presently Christine Nils
son. In a seat ahead, made fun of him
for eating such awful stuff. Max was
really humiliated, but he slyly crowd
ed the remnants of his feast into his
pocket and. feeling quite comfortable,
went to sleep. About two o’clock in
the morning lie felt a touch on his
elbow. ‘ Hush.’' said Nilsson. “Don’t
wake anybody, but do give me that
bread and sausage you put In your
pocket.”
THE BUSINESS COLLEGE
A large number of young men<and
women are taking various courses
at the branch school of the Atlanta
Business College, which occupies
rooms over A. N. Alford & Co’s
store.
Miss Frances Roberts, of Thomas
ton, is in charge of the Hartwell
branch, which offers courses in prac
tically every line usually given in a
modern institution of this kind.
