The Hedgehog Husband.

Kindness is good investment al
any time or anywhere, but in no
place does it give better returns than
at home. There, above all other
places, is it bread cast upon the wa
tiers that will return a hundred times
in the love and affections of your fami-
ly. IF a man does not possess the
hearts of the little ones that gather
around his fireside, he is a hundred
times bankrupt, though he owns
stocks and bonds, and lives upon the
interest Of his wealth.
1t would be time wasted to attempt
to paint the loyalty of a woman to
the hedgehog husband. He knows
that if his Own parents should disown
him tomorrow, and misfortune over
wheIm him. he could still find a pill
low for his cares on the bosom Of his
wife. While We appreciate that no.
thing is gained by reasoning with this
creature. there Is some satisfaction i'm
letting him know occa sionally that
the world is watching him.

BOWEN OUTWITTED.
A Client Who Took ADVANTAGE
Of His Advice in a Way He
Didn't Expect.
Kansas City Times.

Kansas City Times.
Whilst the papers are recounting re-
miniscences of Tom Bowen, the sen
ator-elect from Colorado, some of the
pioneers of Corydon. this state, re.
member him as having practised law
here when the town was yet in its in
fancy. An amusing anecdote, which
Is well voEched for, is related of the
future senator, who was then a lawyer
in embryo-a sort Of legal fedgling.
One Of the wealthy and prominent
citizens Of this place had misunder-
standing with his wife, which finally
resulted in divorce and heavy ali
mony for the injured fair one, cul-
minating in the almost complete bank
ruptcy of her husband The peculiar
feature of this case seems to have
been that the woman had quietly us
ed her husbands credit to her own
advantage without his knowledge, and
made large nu1Aber of debts which
he was compelled to pay, while she
had so successfully secreted all money
and property that nothing could be
found. and re was compelled to pay
all her debts. This result was obtain
ed through the adroitness and finesse
of Tom Bowen. Mr.. Bowen thought
he had earned and we'll deserved a
handsome fee, but when he went to
bis fair client for his reward, she re-
piled with an arch smile, Sir, my
husband pays my debts" The shrewd
woman had outwitted both her hus-
band and the lawyer.

The Pioneer Peck.

At a meeting of the Milwaukee Old
Settlers, George Peck responded to a
toast Of 'Peck's >un" as follows:
1t may be news to you, gentlemen,
that | am one of tie eldest pioneers OF
this section, but it is true. Forty
one years ago / landed in Milwaukee.
| think the schooner struck mud
about where Henry Wehr's saloon /.

brought me and my parents and an
other threshing machine, and while /
often see schOoners of more recent
make. have never found the one that
brought me from Buffalo. NV mOthe.
carrie d me ashore, and nv father
got the inhabitants of the village of
Milwaukee to help him haul the
threshing machine from the landing
up to dry ground. My father was
here visiting me a few years ago, and
one day found him down at the foot
OF Grand avenue looking around, and
| asked him what was the matter.
Pointing to the river he said There,
that is about where we landed" and
then pointing up Graud Avenue, to
church spire, he said: "And think
it was about where that church stands
that We first got the tbreshing ma
chine where it wouldn't sink in the
mud" If father had taken my adj
vice he would have traded that thresh-
off for dog, and traded
the dog for land in this town, aud We
would now he rich, / was only two
years old then, but knew more than
| do now, and | could see that a man
who owned land here forty years from
that time would have soft thing.
1t was soft thing then, to get
threshlng-machine over. We settled
in Jefferson county, near Whitewater,
where my father threshed wheat part
of the time and children part of the
time, and shook with the ague at in-
tervals and had typhoid fever, and it
was one continued round of pleasure.
So you see, / am one of Wisconsn's
pioneers as well as you are. As you
have in your programme so kindly
placed Peck's Sun on as one of the
toasls it may not be out of place for
me to say \ few words about it. 1t
will be five years next month since
the paper first appeared here, in a
modest way. Its policy is to speak
only good of all. and it will try and
never do discredit to the city of its
adoption. and never cause a blush to
mantle the cheek of an old settler.
Not wishing to use the occasion to adj
vertise the Sun, will, however, state
a fact that can but be of interest to
every gentleman who loves Milwau-
kee, that its circulation is to-day ST.
600 and increasing about 5000 per
week, and its business this year will
aggregate about 100000. BY keep.

OPENING OF THE CONVENTION AT HARRIS
BURG-A LARGE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ORGANIZATION.
IBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
HARRISBURG, Pa, August 1.-Tbere Is
apparently more interest taken in the DEM
ocratlc Convention than at the one held by
the Republicans last month. There is a
large attendance. due TO the fact that the
number OF delegates is much larger than in
previous conventions. The Convention
assembled at 1915 A. NJ, and was called
TO order by Chairman IIensel in n few
remarks. The list OF delegates was called,
and for the first time in many years no
contested seats were announced. Robert
T.. Wright, OF Lehigh county. was chosen
temporary chairman by reclamation, to-
gether with the necessary officers for the
Transaction OF the preliminary business.
After being conducted TO the chair and re-
turning his thanks for the honor conferred,
Mr.. Wright stated that this was the first
time in quarter OF century that a Demo-
cratic Convention met when all the state
officers. with but single exception, were
filed by Democrats. He further said that
all the promises OF reform made previously
by the party had been faithfully car
ried out. He paid high tribute to the
Governor, abiding to him as "supcrD
Executive" The speech was received
with continued applause. \ resolution
that the Committees on Credentials, Per-
manent Organization, and Resolutions con-
sist Of one delegate from each congress
sional district, to be named by the dele
gates, was adopted, and the Convention
adjourned until O'Clock. The Conyen-
ton is very harmonious, and indications
point to the transaction OF the business
with dispatch.
At the afternoon session the following
nominations were made: Robert Taggart.
OF Warren county, TO be Auditor OF the
State, and Joseph Powell, Of Bradford,
| Treasurer.
The platform favors the entire abolition
OF the present system OF internal taxation,
AND the reservation OF public lands for
actual settlers. The remainder OF the plat
form, which is quite long, deals entirely
with state matters.

A REMARKABLE OPERATION PERFORMED on
EDWARD SwABTz. OF BERKs COUNTY.
A special TO the Philadelphia Times
from Reading says: One Of the most re-
markable cases on record came to light
yesterday in Dover township. Edward
Schwartz. OF that place. was out in the
woodland during severe storm, and could
find no shelter except under the large
trees. He was standing close to large
oak tree. and when the storm was at its
height large limb was wrenched off OF q
tree near hy and fell across Mr.. Swartz's
neck, disocating it. He was removed to
his home and physicians at once summon
ed, who made an examination OF the iniu-
ries sustained 10y him. They were satisfied
that he could not live in that condition, and
the only hope for him was 10 have the break
set. The operation was critical one. All
present expressed their belief that the man
might die, and that die he would at any
rate il an operation was not performed.
Drs. West. Of York, and Gross, OF Dover,
informed the unfortunate man OF the dam
gerOus condition lie was in, and when
asked he said he was willing at once to
have the critical operation performed. The
family OF the unfortunate man were sum-
moned to his bedside and he babe them

survive the operation.
The parting scene with the family was
an affecting one, not soon to be forgotten
by those present.
Meanwhile Mr.. Swartz was perfectly
conscious. and talked freely. He replied
10 the physicians when questioned about
the critical nature Of the operation that he
"was in their hands and in the hands OF
God, and that they should do the best they
could for him. Drs. j. W. Kerr, Hay,
Long, SmySeT, Bacon, Myers, and Charles
Eisenhart were present during the opera
ton. \ thorough examination was then
made, and it was found that the fourth
Joint Of the neck had been fractured. Rev.
J. c. Deininger was also called in. he
held religious services in the room, conf
hitting the unfortunate man into the
hands Of the al.wise Father, and asking
the blessing OF God upon the work
10 be done and PRAYING for successful re-
suit OF the operation. DR.. Hay took hold
Of the PATIENTS head and DrS. Weist and
Long at the neck and shoulders and the
fracture was successfully reduced. The
patient said at once he felt relieved, and
that he had more feeling in his body,
which had been completely paralyzed. At
this time the doctors cannot say what the
result Of the operation will be. II the
spinal cord was not injured the patient, il
is thought. may recover. The physicians
say he is doing rs well as can be expected.
AT last accounts they had strong hopes for
his recovery. The case attracts considera-
BILE attention among the medical profession,
owing TO the singular and critical nature OF
the INJURIES.
