The Lexington Dispatch. r Wednesday, June 1, 1904. A Detective's Wonderful Display of Shrewdness THE shrewd detective looked over carefully. "This is the third time you , have been robbed V" he said inquiringly. "Yes," replied the woman. "And this room is the one that has < been most disturbed?" "Yes." The shrewd detective examined a comb that lay on the bureau. "Is there any one here with red i AIUAi. uv "No." "Ha!" he cried. "A clew! She could ' not resist the temptation to arrange ] her hair." ] "She! Who?" 1 "The burglar. It is a woman, which J simplifies matters very much. She has < red hair." He sank into an armchair 1 and rested his throbbing temple on his ^ hand. The throb was due to great J mental activity. He could not think J clearly without throbs. "The ordinary * police method," he said at last, "would be to put out the dragnet and arrest [ every red haired woman in town and j indict the one who had just combed \ her hair, but that is unsatisfactory to r a great detective. I prefer to be subtle, t Have you a full length mirror?" "Yes." "And a folding glass that enables you to see your head from three sides ^ at once?" "Yes." % "And some costly millinery?" , "Yes." ] "And a ball gown?" "Yes." ] "Bring them all to me?" ' Wondering, she obeyed, and he ar- J ranged them all to his satisfaction. "What nest?" she asked. , < "Leave them all here tonight," he ( instructed, "and come up any time tomorrow. You will find the woman still j here. But do not send for your hus- ] band, for she may be trying on the gown." "What a wonderful man!" she exclaimed. ( "Nothing wonderful about it," he returned. "I am merely a married man ( who is reasonably observing." Investigation the next day revealed 1 a note which road, "I have taken the gown home to try it on." j "I told you it was a woman!" cried < the detective jubilantly. l'ou can't disconcert a true detective?Chicago Post. -< r r TrfnmnVift ftf Mftdflrn Sn?o<fi?T7_ :i 1 Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are .j taken out and scraped and .polished and J put back, or they may be removed en- { tirely: bones are spliced; pipes take the place of diseased sections of veins; an- j tiseptic dressings are applied to wounds, * bruises, burns, and like injuries before i inflammation sets in, which causes them to heal without maturation and in onethird the time required by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antiseptic and when applied to such injuries, t causes them to heal very quickly. It S also allays the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your home and s' it will save you time and money, not to f" i mention the inconvenience and suffer- t] ing which such injuries entail.

He was an absentminded per- * son and while saddling the animal was C thinking out some intricate problem. Some students stood near and watched him abstractedly place the saddle on ^ hind part before. . "Oh, professor," exclaimed one of the ( group, "you are putting the wrong end ^ of your saddle foremost." s' "Young man," replied the professor, v with some tartness, "you are entirely n too smart. How do you know it is wrong when I have not yet told you in which direction I intend to go?"?Lip- ^ pincott's Magazine. c is ; Her First Pic. t' "Lady at that house on the hill offered me a pie if I would saw and split some wood." says Lassitudinous Lewis. t "Must *a* been 'or tirst pie," suggest- i od Ilangback Henry. i "Or else the Jirst tramp she ever saw."
