One of the queerest occupation ever followed bv a woman is that followed by a feminine resident of Los Angeles, CaL She Is known as Miss Brooks and is a detective hired by tb Lo Angeles Medical soeiety to go around to doctors suspected of praticing without licenses and get them to prescribe for her pur-j c-tfi il'c I i She has been treated for everything she ever had a suspicion of several' times, and has now started in on some ancy ailments of which she. had heard- rumors. If she had all the ails in Pan-- dora's box they wouldn't hold out. Miss. Brooks is a very pretty woman, very demure.

She is the last person on earth who would he taken for a femala sleuth. Her latest exploit was to visit the office of Dr. Macrae and get an electric bolt for sheumatism." She went to him with a woman friend' and told him that she had rheumatism in the left si-oulder. Had she ever been treated by electricity, was what Dr. Macrae wanted to --ow.

No, Miss Brooks had not, but she had heard that electricity was very good for rheumatism. She made an appointment with "him and came again in a day or so with her friend, bared her shoulder and got a shivering shock added to her singular medical history. In court Dr. Macrae advanced as a defense the claim that he was not practicing for himself, but was employed by another physician. It was admitted, however, that he put his own name in the advertisements.

WOMAN A SUCCESS AS DRUMMER (From an Exchange.) Though a little slow in some matters, the city of Milwaukee manages to keep abreast of the times in most things and a little ahead in ethers. The city boasts esoeciallv of its women commercial travelers. Among the most successful of them is Mrs. B. Kessler, 525 Grand avenue.

She has been engaged for the last four years in the wholsesale human hair business. Mis. Kessler is an en- ersetic business woman, traveling ex- tensively ever the country, and has es- tablished a large business. Unlike mostj travelers who have their regular cu3- tcmers, Mrs. Kessler goes about estab- nsning people in the hair business ana thereby gains a large custom through them.

In relating some of her experi- ences Mrs. Kessler tells an incident con-cerninga business transaction in Spokane, Wash. It appears that she pre sented herself to a merchant there in hopes of selling him a bill. He reSused to listen to her, saying: he never bought! s-omis frnm a Shp final it- suc i ceeded in showing him some of her arti- cles and before long had sold a large bill of. goods.

Then the three leasts br-ke awty from their keeper ami ran aiotsg JMaple avenue and through side streets, terrifying men, women and children. All night the circus employees, with lariats, chased orer the country roads and i firms on ponies in search cf the missing bisons.

The buffalo. lowering its head, rare a snort and dashc-d toward its wouid-e captors, causing a stampede. The buffalo ran to Hill street through private property, and finally sought refuge In a rich Brook park, where it was captured by one of the circus men. In the mean time the telephone in the pclice-station in Montclair was ricging continually for assistance to capture the other twe buffaloes.

Arthur Ilortou, a New York broker, was one who called for assistance. The animal that visited his place was the biggest one of the herd, and vicious. Mr. IJorion went out cs the front porch to drive the animal off by shcoting a revolver in the air. which only made matters worse, as the beast ran around his front yard in a circle, making a race course out of his front lawn.

Other places near by were damaged. The bisons were finally captured and ttluxned.to their owners. BIG MONEY IN INVENTIONS. Some Patentees Are Enjoying Large Incomes From Their Creations.
