JUST LIKE A STUPID MAN.
He Bought His Sweetheart "A Baby's Bas-
ket Not Knowing What 1t Was.

They had been engaged for three
days and she was going abroad. The
consequence of the combination,
together with the fact that he was not
an experienced tiance, made him long
as he accompanied her on her last
shopping expedition to buy her all
sorts of gifts. Gloves and handker-
chiefs he had purchased recklessly and
dainty silver-pins. But his desire to
deluge her with tokens of affection was
not yet satisfied. In one store she

another Department. mysterious re-
gion which she called the linen depart
ment-from which he was excluded.
He waited patiently for awhile and
then was seized with the brilliant idea
that this would be an excellent OPP
portunity to buy her another gift-one
entirely of his own choosing. He
wandered about looking critically at
various things, and finally, says the
New York World, he saw something
which looked so delcately feminine
and dainty that he determined to get
it. He had not clear idea of its use,
but Thought it was sort of sublimated
work basket, for is was a round, low
hamper, lined with puffs of rose
colored silk under white tulle and
fitted with incomprehensibl little
pads and pockets. So he bought it
from wondering saleswoman and
ordered it sent to his lady's address.
Then he waited in much satisfaction.
BY and by she came from the un-
known regions of the linen depart
ment, with gracious apologies for her
delay. He could not keep his secret.

airily, referring to his waiting. at

He pointed with his cane to the
assortment of pretty babies baskets
and said in an airy manner that his
present was one of those.
"By the way" he added, not mark
ing the curious expression of his lady's
eyes, "what are they-work baskets or
some sort of toilet thing?"
The angelic girl, who was by this
time the observed of all the shop girls,
said sweetly that they were for hold
ing toilet odds and ends, and that he
was dear to get one, but that he
mustn't be surprised not to see it again,
for, of course, it would not appear be-
yond her dressing-room. And as
they left the store the blind young man
said:
"By the way, Dorothy, did it strike
you that those shop girls stared at us

to accompany his tiance shopping?"
And Dorothy smilingly answered
that it was not very common, but that

the big government gun at Sandy

commandant at the fort there had been
doing some practice shooting with
heavy ordnance at target set up on a
knoll back of old Fort Pudding. Next

in and demanded pay for two cows
killed in the engagement.
"If you permitted your cattle to APP
pear in the vicinity of the target, what
had you to eXpect?" roared the com.

"But you see, Cap" replied the
bucolic gentleman, the cattle weren't

NOTHING LIKE SLEEP.
For the Preservation of Womanh

should advise every woman to
adopt this motto and cling to it as
drowning man to a straw: Rest! says
a writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
You don't have to 90 away; on the
contrary. home is the very best place
to get it; it is cheaper than any sum-
mer fitting and a great deal more
beneficial No tonic was ever discov-
cred and no medicine ever prescribed
that has half its capabilities.
I'm all run down and am going to
take a tonic" said friend OF mine not
long ago, and inquired:
Who is your physician"
Common sense" she laughed.
After all that's the best doctor and
my tonic consists in nothing more
than daily afternoon nap"
| thoroughly agreed with her some
weeks later as | noticed the sparkle in
her eye, aud general freshened-up look
as result of her self-conceiyed tonic.
OF course it's very hard to sleep with
the consciousness of unperformed
duties weighing upon the mind, and
with some people it is almost impossi-
Bile: but practice makes perfect and
one may be schooled to a finished de-
gree SO that it becomes part of the
daily routine to take short, restful
sleep in the afternoon.
Either a few domestic duties must
be neglected or your health, and l
think the latter is by far the most i'm
portant. SO try for awhile daily
siesta and you will find that you awake
reiuyenated and refreshed, with a bet
ter heart TO take up your housekeep-
ing cares.
The woman who gets plenty of sleep
is a most refreshing individual. She
is rarely ever out of temper and never
makes those SO about her. In fact
she's "restful" woman, from the SIM
pie fact that she takes rest as a medi-
cine and her afternoon siesta, which
she never neglects, makes her the
agreeable body that she is.
If you are going to nap you must
have comfortable lounge or divan in
your room. These, if we'll made, are
costly; but you may fit up cozy, in
expensive little affair in the following
manner:
Buy cot bed and cut off couple
of inches from the legs. so rs to bring
it nearer to the floor. Have Il mattress
made to fit it, then throw over the
whole thing several yards of Eastern
tapestry, cretonne, with quaint POM
padour figures. or any piece of dainty
upholstery. Pile it high with pillows,
soft and aowny, and You have a diyan
so Turkish that it might pose as a
| specimen of oriental skill.

REMARKABLE OPERATIONS.
Feats of Surgery That Amount Almost
to Miracles.

One of the many results of the rapid
strides which science has made is the
remarkable skill which medical men
have brought to bear upon difficult
and dangerous surgical operations. 1t
was not many years ago when it was
thought improper to attempt opera
tions upon the human body, but the
steady onward march of human prog
ress has given surgeons such knowl-
edge of the human anatomy that they
are now enabled to perform feats
which formerly would have been cred
tied to witchcraft and the black art.
At the annual meeting of the Welsh
branch Of the British Medical Assoca-
ton, Dr. Damar Harrison gave an ac-
count of an operation he had perform
ed upon n boy, which he claimed to be
unique.
The boy had the misfortune to cut
his wrist with plate glass, which caused
him to lose all sense of feeling in the
hand and was followed by complete
paralysis. The lads wrist was laid
open, and it was found that portion
of the nerve about two inches in length
was entirely destroyed. A young cat
was obtained and chloroformed, and
Immediately after death the surgeon
cut n nerve out of the hind leg. The
nerve was then wrapped in a cloth
soaked in warm carbolic lotion and
afterward connected with what re-
NAMED of the boys nerve. The result
was most gratifying. Sensation re-
turned and the boy was cured.
An equally interesting and success
full operation was performed upon a
boy who had swallowed a fish hook.
He tried to release it by pulling upon
the line, but it had become firmly at
tached in the lower and back part of
the throat. A medical man was called
in, and he procured pistol bullet and
bored hole through it, 1t was then
allowed to slide down over the line to
the hook. The weight of the bullet
dislodged the hook, which, sticking in
the lead and being protected by it, was
safely removed. Y. Heruid.
