AS he spoke the boy got his head out

engineer tearfully. ''Tell me that-am

At these words the engineer took UNI
bragg at once, and scowling fiercely re-
moved his greasy jacket and flung his
cap on the deck. He then finished the
brandy which he had brought up with
him and gazed owlishly at the Kentish
shore.
"I'm going to havc wash" F" he said
loudly, and sitting down removed his
boots.

the skipper, land I'll send the boy to

The mate realizing the situation,

The mate, with a coil Of rope in his

MADE HIMACRIMINAI
AN OPERATION THAT HAD AN UNFOR-
TUNATE EFFECT.

A Boys Bump of Acquisitiveness Grew Alb
normally After He Was Trcphined--But
the Surgeon Stood All the Blame and
Corrected the Error.
"Do you think criminality is dis
ease?" asked the drummer Of the hotel
clerk.
"Course not, )" said the clerk. "It is
an acquired habit, and there woaldn' {
be any criminals if children were train
ed right
That's what you think, but sit
down there where you will be comfort
able, and I'll tell you something"
1t was after midnight, and as the
clerk hadn't anything else to do he ac-
cepted the invitation and sat down.
"Not a great while ago." went on
the drummer, IT was in an eastern city,
and it happened that had package Of
samples stolen by boy on the street
l caught him i'll the act, and police
man being on the spot, for a wonder,
turned the thief over to him and agreed
to appear against the boy, just to teach
him a lesson. The next morning | was
in the police court OH time, and there
was met by physician, who told me
something which led me to leave the
case to him. When tho boy was called,
the physician appeared with him and
desired to make statement to the court.
1t was granted, and he said
May it please the court, want to
assume responsibility for this offense
and for number Of others of similar
character, which 7 understand the ac-
cused has committed within the past
year.
"'Your honor, he said, until some
thing more than year ago this boy was
as correct boy as any ever knew. OF
good parentage and excellent training.
there is no reason why he should not
have been so. Two years ago he sus-
tanned severe accident by being thrown
from bicycle in which his skull was
fractured directly on that spot which
phrenologists have designated as the
bump of acouisitiveness. was called
in to treat the case, and upon examina-
ton discovered that the only thing to
be done was to remove part of the
skull and trephine tho fracture This
did, exposing considerable area of the
brain. The trephining, however, was
quite successful, and had the pleasure
i'll a few weeks of seeing my patient
once more ON his feet, and to all intents
and purposes as well as ever, or very
likely to be soon. Az this time, and un-
til several months later nothing un-
usual was noticed about the boy, but
after several months it was observed
that he began to purloin small things
about the house. He was not suspected
at first, but one day his mother caught
him in the act. and he was punished.
may add that at this time he was per-
haps 13 years old His parents were
greatly grieved over this discovery and
afterward kept close watch on him.
The habit, however, seemed to be grow
ing on him, and all their efforts to
check it were in vain. They even Went

SO far as to have their pastor talk TO
him, but that did no good. One day
they were painfully shocked by his ar
rest for theft of trifiing character.
The matter was settled as quietly as
possible, and it was hoped that this
would be lesson to him. 1t made alb
solutely no difference, and the boy went
from bad to worse. What he has stolen
no one can tell, for he is as cunning as
fox in his work, as rule, nor is it
known what he does with his stealings
unless he has hidden them somewhere.
Ten days ago the case came directly to
my notice by theft from my own
house. had heard, of course, of what
the boy had boen doing, but it did not
occur to me to think had anything to
do with it
+" THE parents came to me when the
theft occurred at my house, and in the
talk about their boy the suggestion
struck me that perhaps 1 could offer an
explanation. l said nothing to them,
but sent for the boy and made an exam
ination Of the trephined fracture and
discovered that while had saved the
boys life I had also given his bump Of
acquisitiveness an opportunity to devel-
op abnormally, and that it was growing
greater every day. l did not reach this
conclusion definitely until day or two
ago, and this is tho first opportunity l
havo had to make an explanation of
what, to those who knew the boy pre-
viously, is a remarkable case of moral
retrogression. Having made this ex-
PLANTATION, l wish to assume the respon-
sibility for the boys acts, and as tho
prosecuting witness is willing not to
appear against my patient would ask
to have him discharged His parents
have agreed to let me perform another
operation on him, and I feel assured
that can render him a service which
will make an honest man of him. AS
he now is he will continue to grow
worse, and there is nothing before him
except prison, for steal he will until
his offense becomes such that he will go
to the penitentiary, where his opportu-
mites may be minimized, but his desire
to steal will continue to grow
We'll" concluded the drummer,
"this sort of thing knocked out the
court and everybody else, but the prison
er was turned over to the physician as
his patient, and he took him away with
him to hospital, where he said the op-
Grafton was to be performed at once.
That was year ago. Today met the
physician on the street here, and the
first thing / asked him about was the
boy. He smiled all over and told me
that ever sincs the operation the boy
had been steadily improving, and for
two months past he had stolen nothing,
although the temptation was constantly
put in his way by his orders.
a" Il think, he said as we parted,
that the boy is entirly cured, and here
after when have any trephining to do
shall keep an eye on the bumps and
not make patient either better or worse
than nature intended. = S-sSss&

The engineer, with all the honors Of

empty stomach went down below and
began to stoke. In the course of the
voyage he said it was worth while max
ing such fool of himself, if only to see
the skippers beautiful steering, warm

done it. Before this insidious flattery

A ConvaIescent's Bedtime.

A convalescent patient should never
be permitted to sit up late at night.
After the evening meal it is well for all
visitors to be excluded from the room,
and the patients mind should be kept
as free from excitement as possible.
The hour for retiring should be early
and such means employed for aiding
sleep as may be directed by the physi-
clan. A glass Of hot milk at bedtime is
often good device for promoting sleep.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENTS.


GREENSBORO, n. c., May 25-The
lecture Of General John B. Gordon,
delivered at the State Normal and
Industrial school last night, was a
brilliant gem. The Last Days of the
COnfederacy" is q subject with which
the general is thoroughly familiar.
He was closely associated with Lee
in all the later campaigns Of the
war, and GOrdOn's command made
thelast grand charge at Appamattox.
The large chapel Of the school
was crowded with the audience, and
hundreds were unable to gain en-
trance. Seated on the platform were
a number Of Old Confederate veter-
ans and many Of the most prominent
men in the state. Among them we're
Associate Justice A. G. Avery, Judge
Hoke, DR.. J. NJ. Spainhour, State

NJ. Marshall, F. L. Reid, D. Atkins,

perintendent Of Public instruction
John C. Scarborough, Railroad Com
missioner Beddingfield.
A large flag with the seal OF the
state for its centre hung directly
above the speaker. The platform
was decorated with the cOlOrs of the
school, white and yellow. A large
majority of the people in the audi
ence wore the college colOrs.
Justice Avery introduced General
Gordon. Judge Avery was himself
IN the thickeSt Of the fight and had
q personal knowledge Of the Confed-
eracy's last days, and also of Cor
don's part in those stirring times in
the setting sun Of an empire. His
Introduction vas worthy Of himself
and of the distinguished speaker.
He spoke of Gordon'S heroism in the
days of war, Of his military and civil
distinction, Of his election twice to
the governorship Of Georgia, and of
his election and reelection to the
United States Senate.
General Gordon made a clever lit
tie introduction to his lecture, and
was at once received into the good
graces Of the audience.
The lecture is a picture Of the clos
ing days of the great struggle be-
tween the states. 1t is so clear cut
and graphic in its bold outlines
that it is unforgctable, and the
spaces between show charming side
lights.
Some of the anecdotes may prove
interesting:
The men had no shoes, but they
got shoes in some way. After a bat
tie I heard an Irishman standing
over the form of a dead Yankee.
talking to him. I'm mighty sorry
you are dead" SAID Pat to the corpse.
''Mighty sorry you're dead, but a
dead mar don't need Shoes" There
upon the freshman carefully removed
the shoes Of the Federal, and put
them on his own feet. Pat walked
off a little way, and soon muttered
to himself. Gle ought to have dacent
burial" So Pat solemnly goes back
to the corpse, and places on it the
WORKOUT shoes he had just taken
from his own feet.
