A REMARKABLE OPERATION
DR.. Rodgers, of Memphis, Ex-
tracts the Skeleton Of a Child
From a Young Man
Eighteen Years
Old.

DR.. W. +. Rodgers, who, as sur
gcon, stands at the head of the
profession in the south, performed
an operation in Memphis last week
that has developed one of the most
remarkable results known to the
medical fraternity. He was called
IN, at a house in DeSota street, to
extract a stone from the L!adder OF
a young man about eighteen years
old, named Jeptha Walker. The
doctor having successfully taken
out the stone, which is about the
size OF a large guinca-egg, compos-
ed OF carbonate OF lime, he left the
patient in good spirits, doing well.
Some days after, the nurse, while
dressing the wound of the young
man, saw something protruding
from it, which she gave to DR..
Rodgers on his next visit. On eX-
animation this proved to be the
bone of an infant. Since then the
physician has extracted several
bones, among which are part OF
both bones of the thigh, one of the
lee, one of each arm, and one hip
bone, and on last Thursday another
was taken out belonging to anoth-
or part of the body. The nurse
stated that she extracted many
more bones, but not knowing their
value she threw them away. The
patient is doing very well, and is
expected to be soon restored TO
good health. This is the first case
OF the kind, we believe, that has
occurred IN this part OF the coun-
try. But medical works recount
where sever such phel era have
taken place; and the same authori-
ties explain upon a very plausible
theory how such things can hap.
pen. Some lazy, Incredulous doc.
tors, whose vocation should have
been that of a thrd-class scul!ion
have doubted the word of DR.. ROdg.
ers in this matter. But the doctor
has showed us the bones aud the
stone, and told US that hs opera.
ton was attended with the above
results. AS far as Dir. Rodgers
character is concerned, suffice it tc
say that he is well-known through

WRECK OF THE FLORIDA.
A Romantic Story Spoiled A
True History Of the Affair.

Some weeks ago an article from
a New Orleans paper was extern
sively published throughout the
country, to the effect that the crew
ot the schooner Florida, which sail
ed for California from New Orleans
IN 1919, and was supposed to have
been lost, with all on board, had
been discovered on an Island in the
Southern Pacific by an English
vessel, which had been driven th:th-
er by continued storms. The crew
stated that the Florida had been
wrecked on this uninha bltcd island
twenty-siX years ago, and that in
the interval they had not seen n
human face. They declined, how
ever, to leave the Island, having
established themselves in compara-
tive comfort. The narrative was
said to have created Il great sensa-
ton among the surviving relatives
of the crew, and an effort was sta
ted to be on foot to fit out IL vessel
which should visit the island. 4
gentleman who was livirg IN Val
pariaso, Chill, in Is 8, states that
Florida put into Port Famine, at
that time the Gillian penal settle
mcnt: the convicts boarded her, mas
sacred all of the crew except q
young man named Marcum, and
made sail for the main land. On her
way she was ecaptured by n Chill
ian war vessel and brought into
Valparaiso, where the gentleman
referred to got the above details
from Marcum's own lips. Marcum
whose parents are still living in
Versailles, KY, proceeded to Cah-
lorhia, where he soon after died OF
smallpox at placeryi!lc in that
state. The British steamer Thctis
had first seen the Florida after her
capture by the convicts, and gave
the information to the Chillan au-
thoritics, which led them to send
,ut the vessel which brought her
back into port. A revolution was
in progress in Chlliat the time, and
the record, OF the event may be
lost, but the iulI details were on
the log book OF the Theus, which
may bo examined in the office OF
British Admiralty.

Southern Waters and Southern
LeVeeS.

The boom floods IN the lower
Mississippi, threatening general
devastation at any moment, sug-
gests an occasion tor q word or two
about Il matter in which the whole
country is interested southern
Ieyees, and particularly levees Of
the Mississippi. The New York
Graphic referring to this subject,
has some timely remarks which we
reproduce:
The Mississippi and its ributa-
RES, forming the finest river system
IN the world, have been neglected
till their value has become impair
ed and their future worth is i'm
perlled tor want OF proper care
and protection. While their banks
were covered with forests they
were controlled by natural laws,
whose protection was ample, but
the settlement Of the country and
the clearing up of the vast wilder
ness OF the north and west have
put the whole river system Of the
valley under human control and
LETT 1t to the mercy of the govern
ment, which has done next to moth
ing for it, and what it has done
has IN many cases been worse than
nothing at all. The time has now
come for the nation to see and say
what ought to be done to save and
utilize these great rivers, on which
the prosperity OF nation depends.
1t is Il matter that no single state
can manage. The welfare of fifteen
great states is bound up in the pre-
scrvation and development OF that
system of rivers. The Mississippi
belongs to olllinois and NJ issouri and
Ohio as really as to Louisiana, and
belongs to the nation tar more than
either and it should be protected
and utilized as a great national
property and trust. The damage
inflicted by these recent storms
would have more than paid for all
the improvements required on that
river for the next fifty years.

A man Of Mystery.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says
AshtabuIa Johnson is mysterious
man, and he lives on Aberdeen
street. Ashtabula is one OF those
eccentric individuals who button
holes you on the street, leads you
carefully to the edge of the side
walk, and then looking about him,
says very cautiously:
Flows SprigginsY ?
'Spriggins, Spriggins, you re-
/. ply what Spriggins2'
'IonZo!
ooh dunno anything about him.
Drawing you still nearer the
edge Of the walk the mysterious
man says:
'Thns is between you and me,

q heard that Spriggins was go
ing INTO oats heavy. Now he's
got reasons, sec, and he holds up
hls tour finger and looks as wise rs

mysterious man, and presently
you see him collar Jones IN the
midst OF large company and march
HIM of TO whisper about an equal
ly important matter. AS near as
can be calculated johnson has no
other business but this. Well, the
other day Ashtabula dropped in to
see Philo Martinburgcr, who tips
back his chair IN front Of a livery
stable on State street. lie found
Philo in conversation with some
parties from the country, regarding
the sale Of ear load of horses.
Taking the dealer by the arm Ash
taOula led him through the stable,

the corner to Il black smith shop.
Then he sat down on box, took
out bis knife, pried off II silver
from box, and says he;

cow to sell. Set down.
Philo looked at him moment
an said very quietly, ooh, you

Yes responded Ashtabu!a, sit

Philo looked at HIM a minute;
then said he, Come here Johnson.
Johnson came, and his compan-
ion took him by tho coat sleeve
and started INTO the street. lie
went down to where that six-story
unfinished building stands between
Dearborn and State, and crawling
through the boards that are nailed
over the doors, led Ashtabula up
five flights of uncompleted stairs at
the imminent risk Of breaking his
neck. Putting and blowing they
reached the top, and Philo led the
way over the piles of rough lum.
Der to the extreme east end Of the
building. Then, aiior stopping to
to take Il breath, he put his mouth
close to Ashtabua's ear and softly

a pillow under his head, his feet on

hands. He looked the picture OF
comfort and contentment, and the
women who were going along with
pulI-back dresses on sighed and
wished they were men.
The great City Hall bell struck
the hour OF noon. The deep-toned
echoes hoated out on tho still sum
mer air and touched a tender chord
in the Howard street mans heart.
The echoes sounded to him like
funeral Whispers like whispers of
tho night wind signing through
the grand old wilderness.

answered as he made u circle of the

The dog rushed after him, tho

man bounded out of the house.
"Are you crazy, Robert 7" shrek
ed the wife as she beheld him
pounding his legs with his new silk

Two or three boys ran in from

and got up fight, and all things
considered to make a lively time.
"He's got the collie" yelled one
Of the boys.
