Big-Hearted, Though Beaten.


They tell story of the late William Il. Cole
man which resembles somewhat Mr.. Aitch's
adventure.
Mr.. Coleman was going through the Atlas
Iron Works in this city one day when he hap
pened to notice molder working in a careless
and slovenly manner. Mr.. Coleman was not
dressed stylishly, and he was not, with his
thick-set, stumpy figure, especially impressive
in appearance, and when he tapped the work.
man on the shoulder and told him that that
sort Of work wouldn't do-only he put it in very
forcible language-the molder resented 1t at
once and told Mr.. Coleman to 60 to a hotter
place than the Atlas Works. Mr.. Coleman
was pugnaeious anyhow, and afraid of no man.
and big and powerful as the molder was, he
struck him as soon as the insulting words were
out of his mouth. But Mr.. Coleman was no
match for his employe, and he got pretty
severe drubbing before the other men saw what
was going on and interfered.
While Mr.. Coleman was being busted down
in the Office, and getting the sand out of his
eyes and the blood out of his mouth, his antag.

The Peri1s in Koch's Lymph.

Il would not advise any patient of mine to
submit to the injection of DR.. Koch's lymph"
said one of the most liberal and learned of
Pittsburg's physicians yesterday.
"Do you distrust the principlef" was asked.
mo, the principle believe to be correct; IT
is the natural outcome of the theory and prac-
tice of modrrn medicine. and DR.. Koct's dis
covery is simply a step In the right direction.
1t is not final step, however, and at present
think the lymph and its administration
are in the experimental stage. Human beings
ought not to be the victims OF these expert
ments. We have heard of quite a number of
cases. to be sure, where the lymph has had, or
has appeared to have had, beneficial effect
of the cases where the result has been HARM
full and even fatal, very little has been said.
In the last few days the unpleasant facts as to
the lymph's action have been emphatically
shown by the reports from the New York hos
pitfalls. The case of the Bellevue Hospital
patient to which Prof. Verchow has called at
tention is particularly significant. From this
case it is apparently clear that the lymph
does not entirely destroy bacilh in
tuberculosis, but drives them from
the part most affected to other parts of the
body. Thus in this case at the autopsy the
microscope showed that the tubercular bacilli
were scattered throughout the whole system.
In other cases of patients in the last stages of
consumption, where the lymph has been ad-
ministered, the febrile reaction has had fatal
results on several occasions. and 1 think it is
this which makes it almost criminal to inject
the lymph in any but those who are in the early
stages Of tubercular disease.
Il believe that in time more exact knowl-
edge Of the lymph and ITS effects upon the hu-
man system will render DR.. Koch's discovery a
most valuable remedial agent, but think that
doctors can best serve the public Just now by
restraining the enthusiasm which the Koch
revelations has aroused. DR.. Koch himself has
repeatedly advised his brethren in medicine
and the world at large to be cautious in the use
of the lymph, and he would have kept it from
everybody had he been able until further trial
had more clearly demonstrated its properties
and powers"

THE TOPICAL TALKER.
Drove q Bad Bargain.

They needed driver at a certain store down
town the other day. One of the clerks sug-
gested that he knew . man who would I'LL the
place satisfactorily, he thought, and the head
of the firm told him to go ahead and engage
the man in question. A few days afterward,
Mr.. Aitch, as we may for convenience call the
head of the firm, saw horse and wagon which
he recognized as his coming at a break-neck
speed up the street. 1t swung around
the corner on two wheels, and the rear
of the wagon showed by sundry smashed
panels and crashes that it had been
backed into something violently. Mr.. Aitch
was intensely annoyed, for he prides himself
on the neatness of his wagons and horses and
the strict propriety Of his service. The wagon
came to stop hundred yards ahead and Mr..
Aitch hurried after it. He reached it Just as
the driver was getting out. The driver was a
stranger to Mr.. Aitch. and the first thing the
latter said was: Where in hades did you come
from? Who told you to drive wagon of mine
through the streets as if it belonged to the
police or fire Department.
The driver, stout, nicely built man. coolly
looked at Mr.. Aitch and said: '.Its none o.
your d business"
Mr.. AItch is hot-tempered and rather fond OF
using his fists. with which he has the reputa.
tion Of being quite skilful. He struck the
driver smart blow for "his impudence'' as he
termed it. The driver replied with a series OF
body blows that hardly left an inch of Mr..
Aitch's ribs and chest untouched. The blows
were delivered with such science and precision
that Mr.. Aitch decided instantly that his case
ought to be to get out alive. He finally re-
treated. thanking a merciful Providence that
the driver had spared his face.
There was an interesting colloquy little
later at the store between Mr.. Aitch and the
clerk who had recommended the driver. Il
came out then that the driver was Southside
puddler out of work. who is well known in
sporting circles as one of the best pugllists OF
his weight in Pennsylvania.

The many friends in Napoleon of. Miss

The driver succeeded in partially getting it
