Shawnee, Oklahoma The Dally Pinang Gazette 4 Straits Chronicle of Penang, Straits Settlements, gives a dally report of police court proceedings. The following is a report of one morning's trials, showing how smoothly the court functions in handing out justice: 'pineapple seller' of Carnarvon an aged Chinese, one Chu Ah Kong told the istrate that he had been selling pineapples on the same corner for thirty years and did not ace why he should be arrested for obstruction now.
In spite of this he was fined two dollars and it was explained that he had been breaking the laws. Thus for the first time 1 in thirty years the par. ticular spot on Carnarvon Street frequented by Chu Ah Kong will be vacant. He has gone away -perhaps to China -never to return.

B. Birdseye. of New York, who was captured by General Thomas L.
Rosser, at Treviilians, during. the Civil War, and who made his escape from a Confederate. prison in Lynchburg. Mr. Birdseye, who was a colonel of the Second New York Car.
alry, stated that he was planning a trip into "Old Virginia" in October. He stated that he would go to Lynchburg, where he would hire a three-seated wagon and drive through nine counties, to Harper's Ferry, following as near as possible the route he took in 1864. after makIng his escape from the Lynchburg prison. The route would take him by Mechum's River, Millington and Nortonsville, 1 in Albemarle. "We have a standing invita.
tion to visit Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Vigis, at Hamlin, Albemarlo county," wrote Col. Birdseye, "and intend stopping there. We want also to spend a day or.
two In Charlottesville." The reputation of the Keswick Hunt Club for Its charming entertalnments was ably sustained last evening in the presentation of "Man Proposes," by Samuel as Capt. Huntington, Miss Sallie Pugh as Miss Bettie Huntington, and Mrs. F. L. Thurman, as Dinah, the maid.
The clever acting of Mr, Cave, the sweet and winsome ways Miss Pugh and the coquettish Dinah were well received by the audience.

The very sight. of it, posted along the highways. arouses resentment, causes irritability and blood pressure. It changes normally cheerful, optimistic disposition into one that feeds, and thrives on thoughts of self pity. There can be uttle doubt that detours have been.
the basis of family quarrels, of widening domestic breaches and the breaking up of many hitherto happy marital relations. But. worse yet, they lead to acts of uncontrollable anger, and no jury should be expected to convict man of murder who, just prior to the crime, Has been compelled to dergo the mental and physical sufferings of a long winding detour over a rough. narrow, rocky dusty road that brings you back within a few yads of the Mart1 ing point. There is no complete solution to the detour problem.
Laws may ameliorate the punishment for the crimes for which it 4. -responsible, Public sentiment may ald in bullding up a more friendly attitude toward its heinous. ness. The practice 6t coclam, or form of mental suggestion, may lead to a more philosophical acceplance of the evils Involved. Then, we may adopt the pollcy of the Charlottesrille authorities, in doing away entirely with the "Detour" signs and partnit the public to wander almiessly in a labyrinth of roads and feel the Joy of victory if by chance he guesses the lucky route.
As much as we despise the word "Detour," and while we would not call our worst enemy by such name, except under the most extreme provocation. we do feel that since detours must be endured, they should be clearly defined and that they should be as tree from unnecessary objections as is possible under alt the circ*mstances.

Academy of MEDICAL CLUES Before the days of the X-ray, the chemical and biological labora tory, the practicing physician was obliged to place much dependence upon the acuteness of his own observations and upon the sensitiveness of his five senses--and that sixth sense which physicians call the "clinical hunch." In reviewing literature of the pre-laboratory period It is interesting to discover how much physicians wete able to learn bout the patient by merely looking at him. The posture of the patient, 'the appearence of His eyes, his thanner of breathing, the color of his skin and muccous membranes, the shape of his chest--all these were as revealing to hiri as the proverbial track of the scouting Indian. Thus, for example, in looking at a patient's nails the. physicain could tell much of his past and present medical history. Most of the debilitating diaffecting the body leave their mark on the nail.
The depression running across the finger nall 1 may be witness of an acute illness. In certain chronic diseases of the chest and of the circulatory system the nalls and finger -tips become club-shaped The color of the finger nail may serve as an index to circulation, and in certain types of circulatory dimculties there Is a distinct blush tint to the finger nail. Gout often is witnessed to by an extraordinary brittleness of the nail. Certain discased conditions of the valves of the heart show their existence in the ebb and flow of the circulation, in the capillary or minute blood vessels under the nails. In a score of other ways the physician is able to observe' clues in the condition or behavior of the patient that point to underlying diseased conditions.
