When a prominent American de- tective said that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, father of Sherlock Mimes, Could havt been the greatest detecr tive in the world, many of DOYle'S %I.•eettltililes'skepplt.oicbaal,bly agreed, but a few v. As a matter of faet Sir Artinir has done some detecting of note. His • solu.ion of ,one case not only exon- erated an innocent man of a crime for which lie had been sent to prison, but directly brought about a highly important reform in British law. The imprisoned man • was one George Ecljaiji, the son of an,English mother and a Parsee father, a pop- ular Anglican rector at Kaffordshire. The neighborhood In which he lived had suffered severely from the depre- dations of some human fiend who spent his evenings in roaming over the countryside maiming and mutilat- ing cattle. Edjalji was 'arrested, con- victed and imprisoned. Public feel- ing, which had been running high, was considerably relieved, and it was not doubted that his incarceration hadaiemade the countryside safe for c But scarcely was the poor man in jail, than there came another out- break of the same offence, Obviously, he must either have had an accom- plice, or have been innocent. The problem interested Doyle, and he went to Staffordshire and quietly started to investigate. He not only cleared Edjalji, but secured evidence that resulted in the conviction of a man named Farring- ton. He didn't stop there, but began agitating. Soon a royal commission was appointed to look into the case. Edjalji was released, and the Court of Criminal Atpeal was established. 11p until that time, a man convicted of a criminal offence had no right in law to appeal his sentence, and even when a convicted person was subse- quently, proven innocent, the only way to get him out of jail was by the patently ridiculous process of pardon- ing him—for a crime which he had never committed. Possibly in the last decade and a half it has been forgotten who was the real Sherlock Holmes. For there was such a person, though he was noi a detective by profession at all. He was a surgeon — a great one, Dr. Joseph Bell, under whom Conan Doyle studied and to whom he was especially devoted. One day in the presence of his class Dr. Bell said to a patient who had come in from Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment: "Gentlemen, we have here a man who is either a corkcutter or a slater. If you will only use your eyes for a moment you will be able to define a. slight hardening—a regular callous, gentlemen—on one side of his fore- finger and a thickening on the out- side Of his thumb, a sure sign that he follows one occupation or the other." Another day he said to a soldier who had come for treatment: "You are a soldier and you are a non-commissioned officer at that. You have served in Bermuda. How do I know that, gentlemen? Because he ca.me into the room without taking off his hat as he would go into an orderly room. He was'.a soldier. A slight authoritative air combined with his age, shows a non-commis- sioned officer. A rash on his fore- head tells me he was in Bermuda and subject to a certain kind of rash known only there." It might be Sherlock Holmes speaking, and Doyle, whose sudden and spectacular literary success with that character turned him from medi- cine to literature, freely, admits that from his old teacher's methods he de- rived the idea of creating the famous detective. KENESAW MOUNTAIN LANDIS. Kept Men Waiting When They Offer- ed a $50,000 Job. Baseball Czar Landis is a born actor. Even as a judge he dramatizr ed himself; since they crowned him with baseball, he has talked across the news -pages a wild, individualistic figure. This is the way he treated his would-be employers, when they came to offer him his present job. Landis was hearing an income-tax case when a committee of eight base- ball club owners called on,him. Re- presenting probablY enormous wealth, • the eight men filed into his court- room, hats in hands. Landis glared at them, banged his desk with the gavel, and ordered them to make less noise. When he heard that they had come to offer him thebaseball job—which would add $42,500 to his $7,500 an- nual income, he ordered them out of court, and made them wait forty-five minutes in an aate-chamber. His Christian names — Kenesaw Mountain — have puzzled thousands of people. How did he get them? Elbert Hubbard once wrote the ex- planation. He related that Landis' father, an army surgeon, was at the battle of Kenesaw Mountain, and up- on that day Landis was born. And so they named him after a battle', and he hes been living up to his name ever since. . Origin of "Hansard." "Hansard" is still speken of in eonnection with official reports of parliamentary proceedings, although the Hansard family ceased long ago to have anything to do with them.

I could write pages on Chester, it is a delightful old place to live in, not necessarily make a living in. From Chester I went into N, Wales via Conway—a magnificent castle.here built by that castle -builder, Edward I. We had observation cars' and the scenery is wonderful. At Llanberis, a little village surrounded by moun- tains, I took a bus line to Bettws-y- Coed and on through the Mountain pass and at last to Carnavon. I fell in love with Carnavon. The castle was put in goOd repair f8r the investi- ture of the Prince of Wales in 1911, and is a marvelous piece of masonry after 800 years. Here Edward I an- nounced to the Welsh .that he would give them a prince,of their own, born .)vithin the castle, arid he proudly pre- sented to them his baby son,the use- less, dissolute Edward II of later years. We would feel badly housed indeed if we had to live in such a elude structure and the big op`en fire place, the only means of heating that draughty structure—no wonder the men were hardy. We would surely all die of influenza! The catle faces the sea and then a moat was dug to divert the water around the sides, leaving but one side to defend. To- day the moat offers safe boating fac- ilities to the public. 'rhe streets are narrow, and there are more small cars here than I've ever seen before. They have nicknamed them "prams", short for perambUlators, or baby carraigcs. I think a Ford coupe could hold one easily and need padding to keep it from jolting about. But gasoline i's 50c per gallon, and the roadways ,are horribly narrow. The sea gulls throng the houses like tame pigeons, and make the aw- fullest kind of cries at early morning hours. The Welsh dialect is spokeri, and the noisy geese that gabbled o'er the pool" speak good English com- pared to it, to my uneducated ears. I like Carnavon immensely, but you can't spend much time in one place, so I came on to Barmouth yesterday. The Railways here are fine, no jerk- ing you out of the seats; the roadbed and engineers no doubt are to get the credit. We came through the child- hood home , tgwn of Lloyd George, named Criccieth, and to be sure how to pronounce it, I put my head out of the window and asked tile guard how to pronounce it and he said "Kri(roll your r) Keth," almost "Creeketh" but not quite. The blue waters in Cardi- gan ]3ay lay shining in the sunlight on our right and the towering Welsli hills on our left. A strenuous time they had of it in the brave days .of old, when they led soldiers through the passes of these hills, grim, barren, desolate to -day; what were they 800 years, ago! From Llanberis I took the mountain railway up to the top of Snowden Mt., 3591 feet in height. We had a magnificent .view all the way up; to sea, we could'see the shin- ing Menai Straits, and about us, la3Y a hundred valleys dotted with stone fences running far up the mountain side, each owner, naturally, ,wishing to keep the little bit ,of grass for his own sheep, I thought of the hun- dreds of acres in the "Land of the Maple," that would afford them a far easier and better living, ilei no doubt if they had it, they would clic of lone- liness. We passed Harlick Castle on out way down—a most formidable "safety zone' in the 1100's. The roses grow in profusion here and are rugged of stem and a heavy green leafage; I've never seen any more beautiful even in a hot -house. Fortunately, the Weather has been fine—decidedly cool but no rain,. Alt the heat is front the open fire place, so a cold day is not to be laughed at. The sea is dazzling my eyes in the morning sunshine, Will leave here to -morrow for inland 'Wales. ,,Vi11 write. again. • Mary R. Findlater. J. D.

Budge. ,Back to Huron I,have wandered, Back where youth seems like a dream; From the best of friends was sund- ered, Many a hamlet, road and stream. Took the way my heart directed, Like a dancing child with glee; Huron is a name enchanted. All the honors bring to thee! Back among the maples queenly, Gentle hills all decked Jike thrones; Robins sing their notes serenely, Brooklets murmur o'er the stones. Nowhere is there found a copy— Fertile fields and stately homes, Tonic when the lake is choppy, Charmed where'er the 'Maitland roams. Back where morning collies too early, And the golden day's too short; Hay -fields cut and raked so curly, Wagons hauling loads like sport, Here are men of iron muscle, Women proud of grit and tan; Long as eye can see they hustle, Heaven bless all it 'can! Back to Huron --Fortune's favor— Every road is lined with joy, Eats have still the same old flavor, Kindly faces, grace employ. All too short the fleeting hours— Merely time to wave a hand, Or a tear upon the flowers, Where a new grave breaks the sand.
