HIS CHARACTER CHANGED.

A distinguished physician of New
York tells Of recent case in his pratice
that has certain features Of interest. In
a household of New York there was a
boy of - who possessed manv excellent
qualities, being amiable, truthful, and
upright. Passing along the street one
day piece Of board fell from the second
story of house that was being built
and struck him, inflicting wound on
his head. After time the wound
healed, and left merely a slight scar.
But it soon afterward appeared that the
boy had undergone an unaccountable
change OF character. He had become
liar and thief, and was almost brutal in
his nature. At last the parents con-
suited the physician to whom we have
referred, and who made study of the
case. He finally suggested that the
boy should be trephined, in order to
ascertain if any injury had been done
to the brain when the skull was struck.
When the operation had been per-
formed in the vicinity of the scar, it was
found that splint from the inside Of
the skull had pierced the brain. After
this splint had been carefully removed,
and the wound properly dressed, the
boy rapidly recovered. To the delight
of his parents, it was then made appar-
ent that the evil traits which had been
brought into play by some unknown
means had disappeared. He was
changed again, and was once more the
amiable, truthful, and upright boy that
he had been before he was wounded.
"This case" said the distinguished
physician who narrated the facts of it,
would be remarkable if the medical
books were not full of similar cases"

Gold. Gold; Bright, Shining Gold.

A story which reads like lurid ro-
nance from the pen of Jules Verne, in
spired by Capt. Kidd and thoughts of
his r-famed hidden treasure, appears
in an Omaha morning paper. The ar
ticle purports to be the experience of
Colorado Springs physician, who was
asked by two mountaineers to accom-
pany them to point nine miles distant
to set the limb Of man who was ac-
cidentally shot. The physician was
blindfolded and kept in that condition
until he reached cave, which on en-
tering and having the bandage re-
moved from his eyes he found to be
one of the most wonderful places he
had ever heard of. The sides of the
cave seemed to glitter strangely, and
with an array of gems which scintil-
lated like sultan's jewel box. When
the last splint had been applied to the
injured limb the doctor was sitting on
-four sack wiping the perspiration
from his brow. What an uncanny
place was this. Where was he? On
earth or below in the bowels of the
globe, where gnomes delve in precious
gems and COLLINS gloat over disap-
pointed seekers after wealth? The
five men present were rugged and
hearty specimens of American man.
hood, and no misshapen forms lent color
to the dread suspicious which had be-
gun to form in the doctors mind. The
fact could not be predicted. If it was
gold, fabulous wealth lay all about
him. Previous to leaving the doctor
was presented with large piece Of
metal. Then he was blindfolded and
taken home. The nugget, when put
to the test, proved to be gold of fine
quality. In conclusion, the paper says
"This is no fairy story. This paper
came into possession of the facts
through the gentleman himself. He
is now organizing an expedition to find
the mysterious cave"

One On Lincoln Junior.

Bob Lincoln tells the story of his first
fee as an attorney. Judge Logan had
conjured him to charge round fees.
People don't respect a cheap lawyer"
said the Judge. One day messenger
came from wealthy insurance com
pany with note requesting that the
title to certain property be looked up.
The young lawyer spent half an hour
in the work and sent his report to the
insurance Office. Another messenger
came shortly for his bill. Lincoln
thought $40 would be big price, but
remembering Judge Logan's advice
made it out for $25. Judge Logan
came in before the bill was sent It
was shown him. He took it and tore it
up-Bob protesting that lie feared it
was too large. The Judge made out a
new bill and gave it to the messenger,
who soon returned and handed Mr..
Lincoln the insurance company's check
for $3.50, and note thanking him for
his promptness and assuring him that
the company's other work of this char
acter would be sent him. The young
lawyer looked at the check and said to
the old one: "Great Scott! Did you
make bill for $25O?" "Of course
did," was the reply; "you don't want to
be a ID eleemosynary institution
for insurance companies, do you?"

A Girl ,cith a Latch. Ken.

Ii You have never had the pleasure of
watching woman open her front door
by means Of a latch-key, it is worth
dawdling away the fifteen minutes she
requires for the operation to he amused
at the thorough feminity of her actions.
The other evening shortly after dusk
bright-faced, quick-stepping girl but
toned up in an English walking jacket,
swinging long-handled parasol, and
carrying half dozen small parcels,
passed quickly by on Camp street to
run up a fight of stone steps and open
siege on the front entrance with the
skeleton instrument concealed some
where about her person.
First she shifted the responsibility of
purse, packages, umbrella, and hand
kerchief on one hand, while she used
the other to feel in both coat pockets
for the key. They failed to produce it,
and by that time one bundle and the
tiresome parasol lay half way down the
stoop. With slightly flushed cheeks the
girl picked up the awkward parachute,
leaned it upon one corner, took firmer
hold on the slippery parcels and exam
med the palms of her snugly-fitting
gloves: This process gave her hand
kerchief to the breeze, and mistaking
the trife for a miniature sail, the
zephyr playfully caught it up and
helped it flut:er a dozen PAGES down
the street. By this time tense ex-
preston had grown about the young
lady's lips; she paid no heed to the re-
suits of an evenings industrious shop
ping now lying scattered at her feet, but
plunged boldly INTO the intricacies of her
smooth draperies and instituted instant
search for a secret pocket. With nerv-
Gus fingers she pulled at one fold after
another until finally section gave way,
and with lurch her hand disappeared
in the depths of some hidden recess.
The triumphant expression beginning
to dawn over the girls feature gave
way first to one of dismay and then
growing modification as memory seemed
to point to the exact spot on her dress
ing table from which she had not taken
her key that afternoon. Indignant and
disguised this independent woman gave
a vicious tug to the bell, bowed hum
! bly, as sympathetic man gathered up
and restored her disordered belongings,
and with meek head passed out of
sight through the door held open by
the smiling maid.--Ne,o Orleans Pic

The ~ oman WhO Smiles.

But since it is woman's province to
please what is the reason that she does
| not turn all misfortune to profit?
Il frowning would gain her what she
wants, l would not so much wonder.
She could, and with such little ex-
penditure of effort.
And so becomingly.
The most charming woman that I ever
knew was SO by her charm of philoso-
|lhlc good nature.
She was not good-natured because
| size was born so, or because she was
lazy but she would have been ashamed
| to have been ruflled over the small
everyday troubles of life when there
Were SO many great miseries in the
world
And she was really what so many
people pretend to be, we'll bred.
Breeding and snobbishness get too
often mixed.
Good nature is so becoming to wo-
man that it would seem to be directly
to her profit to cultivate charm of that
sort.
and smile under the simple annoy
ance of life, since by frowning nothing
Is to be gained
II she cannot sit, let her stand and
smile.
II she has to move up to make room
lor another woman to sit, who has just
as good a right to sit as she has, let he,
move up and smile.
Especially as if she frowns she has
got to move up just the same.
il she is crowded, let her be crowded
and smile.
because a frown takes up just as
much room in crowded car as a smile
on my honor 1 think it takes NJ
more.
Clvilty Of this sort would spread like
an epidemic. Yankee Blade.
