One day, however, they carried the
joke little too far, and the old man got
mad at them. He had given each some
little chores to do, 40 he was a great be-
lever in industry, coupled with integrity
and economy. He was in the habit of
taking a little nap at midday, and wax

sooner than the boys thought he would,
he discovered chat nothing bad been
done and the boys were no where TO be

thing else missing besides the boys, and
the old man began to.csll out FOR them

love has run crooked as rams horn
Miss Blank, graduate of the Bellevue
training school, was wooed and won by
gay young doctor. He took a mort

engagement contract and sailed away
to complete his education at the medical
schools abroad. This was two years

day after his departure loves rivulet
ran smoothly.
Then the serpent entered their Eden.
The girl lost her lovers address in fire
which consumed her abode so quickly
that she escaped only with her life and
her nightgown. His letters continued to
come regularly for number of weeks.
At length he began to express surprise
that she had not written. Then came re-
proaches, then anger, then anxiety and
finally despair. In none of his communi-
cations, however, did he think to give
his address. The girl was nearly frantic

LIVES WITH A BROKEN NECK.
Ora Of the Most Remarkable Cases on
Record In New York Hospital.

Ora Of the Most Remarkable Cases or
Record In a New York Hospital.
OF all the cases of patients suffering
from broken neck that have recently
been recorded in this vicinity the most
remarkable undoubtedly is one now un.
der treatment by the surgeons of the
Gouverneur hospital.
Several instances of dis1ocation of the
bones of the spinal column have come to
light within the last few months. This
is case of genuine fracture Of the bones
of the neck at the base of the skull, an
injury that has heretofore been generally
regarded as mortal and in which the re-
suits have always borne out the sur
geon's diagnosis. But in this instance
not only is the patient alive, but there is
every indication that he will, after
proper care, recover his physical and
mental faculties and get entirely well.
Little Isaac Goerstein, 8 years old, OF
Allen street is the patient. He was re-
turning from school on Wednesday aft
ernoon about 2 o'clock, and at the cor
ner of Henry and Pike sire IS was
knocked down and injured by passing
truck. An ambulance was summoned,
and the surgeons diagnosed the case as
cerebral hemorrhage. He was removed
to the hospital, and more thorough in
vestigation was made by House Surgeon
Jamal.
DR.. Jamal discovered that the neck
was broken just below the base of the
skull, which was slightly fractured, and
that the lobe of the right ear was split.
He and two assistants began work on
the boy, who was then unconscious, and
made plastic coat which covered the
body from the waist to the top of the
head, leaving only the face visible.
The plaster cast makes it impossible
for the boy to move the upper part of his
body at all, and the respiration is labored
and uneven. When asked in reference
to the case, House Surgeon Jamal said:
''When [ discovered the neck was bro.
ken, I expected the boy to die, as of
course persons with broken necks are
not in the habit of living any great length
of time after the accident. Death is
usually instantaneous, and especially SO
with children.
sit is the most remarkable case that

have searched medical works and cannot
find its parallel. The boy is gradually
improving, and the chances are now that
he will survive. I shall bring the case tc
the attention Of the medical world and
invite doctors here from various hospi-
tails to examine him. I have taken an
especial interest in him myself and am
sure my brother physicians will do like

gerous ontagious diseases; and
Whereas, With the prevalence of
Small PoX In other states, and it's
recent introduction in Wisconsin.
the assembling of unvaccinated

danger to the people of the state;
the state board of health hereby
adopts and publishes the following
rue:
Section l. No child shall be al
lowed to be enrolled as pupil in
any public, private, or parochial
school in this state, or to attend

The Free Land Colony.

Negotiations are still proceeding for
the establishment of the free land col
ony in east Africa, where it is intended
to attempt, on a scale never before con-
templated, to carry out the idea of a So
cialist community. The district selected
is on the Lykipia plateau, near Mount
Kenia, in the British sphere of influence.
An offer has been made to the British
foreign Office to purchase large tract
on the condition that. while the commu-
nifty shall be subject to the general laws
which the British government may i'm
pose, it shall have absolute freedom to
regulate its internal affairs on social
istic basis. 1t is said that the British
government is averse to giving absolute
rights of ownership in the land, but the
organizers are apparently in earnest.
They have secured as leader Herr Den
hardt, who is well known on the east
coast of Africa. A part of the equip
ment Of the new community will be a

Couldn't See the Fun.

An infants coffin, addressed to Mrs.

CHASTITY present shipped from Atlantic
City by local merchant as joke and
present.
The express company refused to accept
the suspicious looking affair until the
joker explained that it only contained
fruits and wines. Even this statement
did not satisfy the agent, and not until
the contents were exposed would he ac-
cept the package. Then it was receipted
for and forwarded, and the joke became
known about town. The odd part of it
is that no one who heard of it could see
any fun in such doings.-New York
