CURED BY THE KNIFE.
DIR. ROuif Takes a Reef in Murderou


Elk's Disposition.
From the Post-Dlspatch: The vici-
Gus old elk in Forest park that gored
to death Keeper Nelson last week, will
have a kinder disposition in future
That is what DR.. Anatole Rouif, the
veterinarian, says. After the unfortu
nate accident it was decided first to kill
the old fellow and sell his carcass to
some restaurateur, but DR.. Rouif sug-
gested that he could take reef in the
elk's temperament by performing sur
gical operation. So it was finally
agreed to give the forest monarch a
longer lease of life, and the operation
was successfully accomplished. Since
then the elk has been doing nicely and
giving no trouble. DR.. Rouif, Park
Commissioner Ridgely and eight as
sistants, armed with clubs, pitchforks
and rope enough to hang anyone, start
ed for the Enclosure wherein dwelt the
murderous elk. After some tedious
maneuvering the old fellow was las
seed. Then he was securely fastened
on each side and his head pulled down
to the ground But this didn't put him
in readiness for the operation; only
half of the work was accomplished. He
fought desperately with his fore and
hind legs and no one would venture
within their reach. One by one the
legs were encircled by the rope and
then all four were securely fastened
together. Then the operation was
easy. This is the first operation of the
kind ever performed on an elk, deer or
any similar animal, either in Europe
or America, says DR.. Rouif. In speak
ing of the affair the doctor said: "Of
course this elk was a bad fellow, and
had killed one man before, in Chicago,
but what made him so extremely vici-
Gus was his constant jealousy and his
quarrels with the other bucks. He will
now be kept by himself and can have
no chance for a fight in future" The
doctor performed laparotomy on one of
the bull buffaloes last week. Two of
the bulls quarreled and one was badly
gored in the right side. Through the
incision made by the horns, part of
the entrails protruded. When the doc
tor went to replace them he noticed one
was badly lacerated. This was quickly
stitched up and the entrails replaced.
! After that the wound in the side was
sewed and dressed and the buffalo is
now we'll.

MARRY THEIR JUNIORS.
A Number of Reasons Why Some Women
Do So.

A late conversation between num-
Der of women CHANGED to fall upon the
common occurrence of women marry
ing their juniors, says the New York
Times. 1t was remarked that these
marriages were almost invariably lap
ply ones. One of the group yentured
the opinion that the reason for this lay
in the wisdom gained with years by the
wife, and in the knowledge thus at
tanned as to how to manage her hus-
band. Another thought that man
always wanted his wife to " mother"
him, and was best satisfied when she
did, while she was naturally satisfied
by his satisfaction. A third was sure
that to take care of others was wom-
ans true vocation, and the secret de-
sire of her heart, and that this calling
was most entirely entered upon when
the selfishness of extreme youth was
past, and when the husband was
younger than herself. Whatever the
cause, the fact remains that of all these
matches, which do seem to be made in
heaven, almost all make a little heaven
here below.
One of the takers contributed her
quota to the stories of remarkable DIFF
ferences in years between man and
wife. A time bishop of Maryland,
she said, married woman who had
been one of his mothers bridesmaids,
and who had made his own christening
robe. He was SO devotedly attached
to her that when she died from extreme
old age he mourned her memory, with
no thought of filling her place, all the
rest of his life.

A Lawyers Breach Of Confidence.

A queer case is reported from Sydney,
Australia A man was convicted by a
jury Of having tried to poison his wife
with arsenic. His lawyers obtained a
reconsideration Of the sentence by a
commission appointed by the legisla-
ture, consisting of two doctors and a
lawyer, which pronounced him inno-
cent, the doctors voting down the law
yer, who thought him guilty. The man
was set free in consequence Subse-
quently one of his lawyers, moved
by conscience, told another mem
Der of the bar that the man
had confessed his guilt to him at the
time of the trial and the matter was
brought before the legislature. Law
yers and clients have been arrested
and are to be prosecuted for conspir-
acy to defeat the ends of justice. Com
munications between lawyer and client
are apparently not privileged in Aus
tralia.

IN A HOT BOX.

Another Time the Engineer Would Draw
the Water.
San Francisco Post: II got into hot
place once" remarked ex-Sheriff Healey
of Marin county. |In fact, it was the
hottest place ever got into in my life.
When I was running an engine on the
Narrow Gauge road 1 noticed leak at
the soft plug in the crown of my engine.
It kept getting worse, so I decided to
plug it.. That night I raked the fire,
and when the fire box cooled off little
crawled in and examined the leak. I
measured the hole carefully, and after
trying the calipers on rat-tail file,
had concluded that it was just the
thing. I you'd drive it in and break it
off, put the end of the file in the hole,
hit it crack with the hammer, and in
stead of sticking it went clear through.
The next minute boiling hot water was
pouring down on me from the boiler.
The fire box was only about four feet
square and the soft plug was right in
the center over my head, SO couldn't
get close enough into any of the corners
without getting my legs scalded. am
pretty large, and the door Of the FIRE
box was small, but had to get out or
get scalded. turned my back to the
hot water, and by the time wiggled out
the door I was the hottest man on the
coast. When 1 pulled off my clothes
took about eight square inches of skin
with them. Since then I draw the
water before do any plugging"

to make a determined movement this

betting laws of the state. The unsuc-
cessful grand circuit meeting Of last
summer will be used as an argument
that it will be impossible to conduct tret-
ting meetings proftably without pool
selling of some sort. These interests
are powerful ones, and il banded to
gether would make strong fight.
