BRAVELY DONE.


Katie V. O'Connell is a heroine, and as
soon as an engrayer can finish the work
assigned 10 him by Chief Engineer Wasser
of the steamer Tiburon she will be wear
ing a beautiful gold medal. Katie Is only
10 years of age, and the deed for which she
will get a medal was performed at Tiburon
the other afternoon, when she plunged
into the bay and rescued the engineers
baby daughter Madge who was at the
point of drowning.
The Wasser family live about 100 feet
from what is known as Bakery wharf, "
at Tiburon Madge, who is just little
over years OF age escaped her mothers
notice and toddled out to the end of the
wharf She leaned over the stringpiece TO
see what was below. She lost her balance
and fell into the bay
Pretty Kate O'Connell, who can pull
boat as well as a man of wars man, who
can ride horseback like a jockey, and who
can swim with all the grace OF a profes
sional happened TO be short distance
away She saw the little tot tumble into
the water and started on "A run for the end
of the wharf, calling loudly at the same
time for help. She did not wait TO learn
whether her calls had been heard. Reach
ing the wharf's end, she plunged into the
water to save the baby's life.
Just as the child was going down Kate
clutched at her garments, and, with few
vigorous strokes and kicks, reached one Of
the piles. She chung to the barnacle coated
timber, raised her burden well above the
water and called again for assistance. 1t
was fully two minutes before baker
named Paul went to the rescue. Katie
strength was giving out, but upon seeing
Paul she knew that the child and herself
would be saved and with renewed energy
secured another grip on the pile.
Paul could not swim, so he hurried
down the steps on the other side of the
wharf, jumped into skiff and rowed 1t to
where Katie was holding the child and
dragged them into the boat. The rescued
child showed no signs of life and the girl
rescuer began to cry.
When Madge was carried into the Wasser
residence, the mother became hysterical.
A physician was called, and by night sue
| ceeded in getting the child out OF danger.
Katie romped home after Madge began
| to show signs of life and changed her
clothes. All afternoon and evening the
residents of Tiburon visited her father q
store near the water to compliment her for
her display of heroisin. Katie blushed at
the compliments and said what heroes and
heroines always say:
II don't see anything to make fuss
over Anybody would do the same thing

A KENTUCKY ROMANCE.
Mean Revenge of Disappointed Lover
and the Result.

A dance on Brushy Fork, Kentucky, re-
Gently was broken up In novel manner.
George Daniels and Jack Spencer, young
farmers, were rivals for the hand Of Miss
Lolita West the belle of Brushy Fork, and
Daniels accompanied her to the dance.
Spencer was so jealous that he refused 10
20. Finding companion, he went hunt
ing instead. Their dogs caught polecat,
which they concluded TO take home, but
on their way they passed the scene of the
dance, and looking through the window
saw Daniels and Miss West dancing to-
gether Spencer was so enraged that he
threw tho polecat at Daniels. His aim was
bad, however, and the animal struck Miss
West squaroly in the face, knocking her
down.
Daniels started after the author Of the
outrage, who was running off in the dark
ness
He did not know who the runner was
but he soon overlook him and marched
him back TO the ballroom, where fresh air
and fans were largely in demand
Many plans of punishment were talked
of, and the one adopted was suggested by
Miss West herself She demanded that the
malodorous "varmint" be tied around
Spencer's neck after his arms had been pin
toned and he be forced to walk to his home
with it hanging under his nose.
This was done, and a committee followed
| Spencer to his home and opened the door
for him The affair broke up the dance,
but it won Miss West for Daniels, as they
will be married shortly New York World,

DERMOID oYsT
4 Louisville Woman Has yomitsd Four
Hundred Teeth.

Several OF the most scientific physicians
Of Louisville, including Drs w Ed Grant
and Flexner, are greatly puzzled over re-
markable case that first came under their
attention three months ago, but which has
lust been made public. Since the middle
Of April Fannie Thompson colored, has
been daily vomiting teeth OF all sorts
Some resemble dog teeth others alligator
teeth, COW teeth, boar tusks, hog teeth,
horse teeth, sheep teeth, and, In fact, teeth
of all kinds, including many human teeth
Within the three months the woman has
vomited 400 teeth, which have been very
carefully preserved and are now In the pos
session of the physicians
The woman has been confined TO her bed
since last January, when she fell from a
street car and gave birth 10 a child. She
vomited blood, and finally the teeth began
TO come About dozen are discharged at
time and almost every night. The vom-
iting is always accompanied with the
most intense pain
DIR Grant who Is one of the most esti-
mable physicians of Louisville says he can
hear the teeth grinding against each other
by placing his ear TO the womans abdo-
men There is large protrusion on one
side of the woman's stomach and IL is be-
lieved that il Is whore the teeth have been
formed and rare disease developed which
produces the growth of teeth in parts OF
the abdomen. The disease Is known as
"dermoid cyst" and is extremely rare.
The case was brought up at recent
medical society meeting Some physicians
thought the woman insane, and that she
swallowed all the old teeth she could find,
but she has been closely watched, and be
sides is confined to her bed.-St. Louis

the racketing London season, which Is
just now drawing TO a close, Is the new
laurels that have been showered upon
Nine. Adedna Patti by the most critical

is many years since New Workers have
been able to listen patiently TO PATHS well
worn notes, and at her last appearance In
this city she had barely welcome or az

But In London this year we read that
royalty filed the boxes when she sang and
that as Zerlina In Mozart's masterpiece
she not only sang but danced In short

coat OF pale green embroidered In gold

At Fourth avenue soda resort the
other noon little wizened man In brown
suit and straw hat whizzed in, took a
seat, ordered a pineapple soda, swallowed
1t at one gulp without stopping and
whizzed out again

counter when the soda scorcher came In
looked up from her leisurely slipping and
exclaimed
well, / never! is that man gone al

"Oh, he is slow today" the soda foun-

that man is alive anyway. He comes in

goes. All men drink soda faster than
women do-I'm beginning to suspect that

rabby swan to Her kittens.

Albert Stetson, who has been superin-
tending the unloading of the Washtenaw,
Is telling cat stories along the water front.
On the steamer Saturn there was for q
long time black cat that was the pet Of
the seamen. When the Saturn was last In
port, she went every day TO the dock,
where she had installed litter of kittens
among the freight The Saturn left the
dock a few days ago on the way TO Liver
pool, the mother on board The kittens
were on the wharf The steamer got about
600 yards away from the pier when the
mother realized that parting was taking
place and that her kittens would be left TO
starve IL she did not do something. So she
sprang into the cold waters and swan
back TO the wharf She climbed up pile,
dripping wet and dashed for her babies.
The freight clerks took her and her kittens
to the Washtenaw where they have quar-
tiers in the captain s cabin. San Francisco
