MADE WHISKY FOR THEM.

DIR. Douglass Experience in a Camp That
Had Been Dry for a Month.
DR.. William Douglass of Portland, Me-,
who has large mining Interests in the
Dolores country, Colorado, and who makes
annual trips to look after them, passed
through Denver few days ago on his re-
turn home. lie had spent the summer at
Rico and on the range, and tells aH Incident
of camp life there which is of interest. He
was the firstman to cross the range to get
into the camp in the spring, and he found
that the people there were suffering for one
OF the prime necessities Of q mining camp
whisky.
The saloons had run short about month
before the trail had been opened, and when
the doctor arrived not a man in camp had
had a drink for over three weeks. The
doctor Is well known In the camp, and he
was surprised at the warm welcome which
was extended to him as he rode up the
gulch. The miners who first saw him
shouted his name, and soon there sODgre-
gated the whole population, waving their
hats and cheering. He was escorted up the
main street to the principal saloon and hur-
Tied therein.
He had no idea what it all meant, but was
soon enlightened. He was told that the
camp was out of whisky and wanted him to
make some. At first he was nonpluss ed and
was disposed to be indignant, but soon saw
that the men were IN earnest and firmly be-
lieved that he could make the whisky. He
asked what they had in camp and found
that there was one pint OF alcohol at the
drugstore, bottle Of btters at the saloon
and plenty Of water.
He went to work with these, some dried
peaches and burned sugar, and in half an
hour had coneocted a preparation which
looked and smelled like whisky. His ingre-
dents were so sparingly used that he made
two gallons OF the mixture. and this was
doled out by the salOon-keeper so sparingly
that every man had one or more drinks al
% cents each, and oil agreed that it was the
best they ever had in the town.-DenveI

SKIN-GRAFTING.
Successful Experiment. With the Cuticle
Of Hairless Dog.

Successful Experiment With the Cutfcle
Of a Hairless Dog.
The operation Of grating the skin OF a
dog to human arm has been successfully
tried by DR.. Silas c. Biaisdell Of Williams
burg In the case of Luigi Ott0luzzi, an
Italian boy, IA years old, who has been in
the Eastern District Hospital, Williams
burg, for more than two months. Ottoluzzi
was employed In a candy factory in Will
iamsburg, and in the early part of Novem-
Der his left arm was caught in a sugar-roller
and the skin torn of from the shoulder
to the elbow. He was taken to the Eastern
District Hospital, where unsuccess ful
efforts were made to replace the cuticle on
the arm. DR.. Blasdel decided to try skin
grating. AMI four weeks ago he obtained
hairless japanese dog from Albert john
son Of Williamsburg. When the wife Of John
son learned that the skin was going to be
taken from the dog she secured possession
again OF the animal and refused TO part with
it In the interest of science. Dr. Blaisdell
looked around for another hairless dog. and
he secured one two weeks ago. Monday
last he tried to graft the skin of a frog to
OuOluZZPs arm. but it refused to adhere
Iuen he began with the skin Of the dog
The SKIN was subjected 20 antlseptc treat

twelve clippings of frOgskin to the boys
arm, along with twenty clippings of human
skin and twenty-eiGht of dogskn. OF these
none OF the fr0gskln adhered, but eight of
the human fragments and tWenty-oue Of tile
dogs. Since then more than 800 fragments
of skin have been taken from the dog and
nearly third the length Of Ottoluzzi's arm
has healed up. DR.. BlaiSdell says that he
has no doubt that the boys arm will be en-

A HUNGRY MAN.
How He Enjoyed a Good Dinner at a
Clever Detectives Expense.

| How He Enjoyed a Good Dinner at
Clever Detectives Expense.
/ A shabbily dressed man, with lank and
| unhappy face, stepped deferentiaily into the
cigar-store at Sixth avenue and Twenty-sev-
enth street at all early hour one night last
week, when Detective Britt of Captain
ReilIy's squad happened to lie there with
Detectives Kemp and Murphy.
Pm hungry" the stranger whispered,
gloomly. Give me dime to get something
to eat"
Il won't give you any money!" said De-
tective Britt: 81 dsapprove Of the practice !;
but I'll get you something to eat" Turning
to Detective Murphy, he said: Take this
poor fellow TO the clearinghouse next door.
and tell the proprietor I'll settle for what he
eats"
Then Brett wheeled about and continued
his chat with the cigar-dealer The stranger
with the unhappy face was led into the eat
ing-house, where Murphy delivered Brett's
message.
Three-quarters Of an hour later Brett
sauntered into the eating-h0use with a
smile on his face. lie felt that he had done
generous act.
Well, did you give that poor man a
mealY' he asked cheerily.
Il did, and he seemed to enjoy it hugely"
can tell you"
g So he said. What's the check?"
Eighty-fye cents"
Eighty-fve centsI' Brett gasped. "HOw
does it come to that much?"
Why, he had regular swell meal" the
proprietor responded. He began on
dozen law oysters, :hen he had a bOne-sir.
lUln, with potatoes and coffee, and wound up
with 20-cent cigar. Detective Murphy
said to let him have anything he wanted"
detective Brett whistled, put dollar note
on the counter, dropped the - cents change
IN his pocket, and looked thoughtful. .
Detectives Kemp and Murphy laughed
softly and fired this bit of philosophy at
their associate: Say, paid, / guess 1t
would have been a heap ceyerer to have
given the fellow the dime he asked for and
let him buy his own meal"
day later the pOstman delivered TO De-
tective Brett postal card. In one corner
was clever pencil drawing of the shabby
strangers lank and unhappy face. In the
other corner was a sketch of the same face
fattencd by good oysters and juicy steak.
a cigar protruGed from corner Of the
mouth Of the fat face. The drawings bore
the inscriptions Before" and After"
Between the sketches was this message:
Defective BTeu: Bless your kind heart for that
dinner HUNGRY MAS.
The detective has not been able to dis
cover who the hungry stranger Is. He told
Captain Reilly that hereafter he was going
to do his own ordering for hungry men who
excited his sympathy.-N. Y. Sun.

with speed with which he famed out eight
of Duke FInn's men, gave them but three

FOUR BEARS FACED HER.
Woman's Thrilling Experience with
FOur sIIvar Tins

A Woman's Thrilling Experience with
-Four silver Tips.
While John Chapman was in here from
his Wyoming ranch this week, says the
Billings Gazette, he told of a thrilling ex-
perience his wife had recently with four
silver-tp bears, a she bear and three cubs.
John was away from home at the time.
After eating an early supper Mrs. Chap
man stepped outside the kitchen door, in
tending to place pan of milk in an out
house. She had just closed the door of the
kitchen when, looking up, she was con-
fronten by four bears, all upon their
launches, and within a few feet of her.
She screamed and rushed into the house
and told the hired man the cause of her
fright and assisted in finding the cartridges
for rifle that stood handy and then sank
into chair exhausted and helpless, while
the hired man made an attack on the bears
killing the old one and two of the cubs.
When Mr.. Chapman arrived he found his
VILE In an alarming condition, her nerves
being at such tension that he feared that
she would go into Mysteries. That night she
complained OF hearing the bear screaming
outside, and finally, to satisfy her, John got
uD, and taking his gun. went to the door
where sure enough was the remaining bear
standing out in the cold and whining and
screaming for his dam. The cub lit out for
the brush when he heard John coming, but
IN the morning the dogs were turned loose
on the trail and young bruin was gathered
into complete the family. The cubs were
fully half-grown silver tips aud averaged
over $50 pounds each. The she bear was a
big one-as large as a cow.
