Habitual Drunkards Have a slim chancs
After an Operation.

After an Operation.
Mr.. Frederick Treves, the we'll
known surgeon of the London hospital,
in his Manual of Operative Surgery
has some striking remarks on the
risks attending operations on the
bodies of drunkards. He said: -
scarcely worse subject for an operation
can be found than is provided by tits
habitual drunkard. The condition
contraindicates any but the most
necessary aud urgent procedure, sucn
as aInputation for severe crush, herni-
otomy and the like. The mortality OF
these operations among alcoholics Is.
IL is needless TO say. Many
individuals who state that they do not
drink, anG who, although perhaps
never drunk, are yet always taking a
little stimulant in the form of 'nips'
aud an occasional glass, are often as
bad subjects for surgical tire atment as
are the acknowledged drum kards.
''Of the secret drinkers, continues
Mr.. Treves, the surgeon has TO be in
deed aware. In his account of 'Calam-

A BEAR STORY.
An Ugly Grizzly Teaches a Naughty Boy
a valuabl Lesson.


Ned Libby was four years old. One
bright day he was playing ON the shady
lawn with his boat.
1T won't sail here" said Ned.
Guess l will take her down to Coney
Island.
Ned often went to Coney Island with
papa and mamma. They went down in
the electric cars, and it only took TWEEN
ty minutes to go that way. OF course,
Ned could not walk so far. But he did
not think whether he could or not. He
did not think TO put On his hat, and he
did not ask his mamma if he might go.
Do you suppose he forgot to do that,
too?
Well, he took his boat, and trudged
off down the road which leads to
Coney Island. He passed all the
houses in the town on that road, and,
at last, came to an open field where
there were a lot of blackberries grow
ing. Ned was hungry. He went into
the field and lay down his boat to
gather berries.
Just then he saw something o
ont from behind some high bushes, and
then a great. rough, shaggy creature
stood up on all fo1rs. Ned stood quite
still and stared. What could it be?
Ned caught his breath, for now he
knew that he had seen just such a
looking animal only the week before,
over in New York, at Central park.
"Why, it's a regerler bear" said Ned;
and vet he did not stir. The bear be-
gan to howl and move toward Ned.
Then all the terrible stories about
bears, which brother George had told
him, flashed through his mind. All at
once Ned found his voice. He screamed.
He ran. MY, how he RANT How he
screamed, He did not look to see where
he was running. He did not think once
of his nice boat.
AT that moment whiz-z-zl sounded
the electric cars on the Coney Island
road. The conductor on the ears saw
poor Ned running and screaming, and
the bear walking along behind. He
stopped the car. caught Ned by the arm
and lifted him up o the car. Ned
smiled a very glad smile as the conduc-
tor next lifted him up on the seat. 1t
made him SO happy to know he was safe
away from hat ugly bearl
'sWell, youngster, where do you live

ductor.

you will carry me home I'll never, never

A Thanksgiving DECORATION.

One of the most pleasing decorations
have ever seen for church was wrought
out in dried Indian corn. Great stalks
of it were made into bold groups above
the windows and disposed here and there
around the room, the ears of ruddy gold
showing against the paler background
with most charming effect. One of the
most pleasant decorations of leading
Boston church year or two ago was
wrought out almost wholly in corn used
in this manner. a
Those who have studied the decorative
possibilities of corn will understand at
once how bold and graceful and entirely
harmonious the lines of such frieze can
be made. Had the old Greek sculptors
had knowledge of this plant. am con-
fident they would have made use of it in
their treatment of capitals and friezes,
for it lends itself as readily to fine effects
in sculpture as does the acanthus, which
their chisels have immortalized. quite

Last week Miss Nellie Bullard was
dumb. Today she talks fuently. The
cause of her being speechless was cleft
palate, a misfortune from birth. Her
voice is clear and her words are uttered
distinctly. This change has been wrought
by means of an artificial palate obtura-
tor made of vulcanite and rubber. 1t
was made by dentist of this city. For
merly Miss Bullard experienced great
difficulty in swallowing. The dentist
learned of her misfortune, and after
making an examination decided to try
an experiment. For several weeks he
has worked on the artificial palate obtu-
rator. Last week it was completed.
Miss Bullard came on visit to her rela-
tive, Colonel R. G. Cannon, and she was
presented with the palate obturator as a
free gift. 1t was adjusted in her mouth,
and for the first time in her life she ut
tered word. Like little child, she be-
gan to talk from the simple words in
common use, until today she converses
freely with her friends. Miss Bullard is
II years of age and is pretty. Way
