foot may have been washed out in
cleansing the wound during operation.
IT had evidently broken off, leaving a
short piece still imbedded in the bone,
beyond warrantable search. Further
examination and consultation led to the
advice that its removal would be emf
nently dangerous to the metatarsal liga-
ments, near which 1t had penetrated.
Future advices regarding the progress
or the case were requested. The needle
point will doubtless stay where 1t is,
encrusted shortly with bony envelope
and entirely painless to the patient. 1t
will not wander about as if loose in the
heshy tissues. The long and very pain
ful ordeal of examination of the
wounded member was heroically born
by the young lady
EVEN THE NEWSBOYS,
Disappointed at yesterday afternoons S
reception by the requisition Of the ap-
paratus for Dr. Stewards patient, are
requested to include themselves in any
invitation for the week announced in
Sundays Herald, and it is hoped that
others will be prompt at the hour an
pointed for the Heralds charitable ef-
forts have such constant calls that the
tireless little searcher of secrets is sell
dom idle now.
Even the newsboys yesterday took
their own hours and came stringing
along at all times, except the proper one,
and Schimmy an Scherry an Peleg an
Denny an Twofer loomed up at entirely
inopportune hours with their scoffing
comments on the doings of dat bilious

II l didn't smoke cigarettes I'd be ten
years older by dis time!" They agreed
with Chimmy that the doctors an
nouncement of twenty-five miles of
wire in the Tesla coil was "a lie all right.

dressed to The Herald, the X-ray re-
porter, the X-ray editor, the doctor and

No, you do not look at the coin or the
purse ITSELF The luminous Crookes'
tube, or dat bilious bulb' as "Tcherry"
calls the new eyeball of science, does
that. You see, cast upon phosphores-

further add that if the sentiment of ye
east should leaven this country, you
will not, a month hence, be able to see
that much.

AN X-RAY WEDDING.
The first fatality superinduccd by the
X-ray is announced. DR.. S. =. Taylor,
the learned psychologist of Phi!a-
delphia, author of standard
treatise upon mental philosophy, used
nearly half century ago, called upon
the X-ray last week and expounded his
theory, that the workings were an ex-
PLANTATION, in a degree. of clairvoyance
and so-called second sight. Last night
he was married, for the third time, to
Nine. Beaudry of France. Many hearty
wishes for the welfare of both.
A CORRECTION.
1t was Rev. j. Fl. 3. Wilson of Garvan-
"a who preached the eloquent X-ray
sermon Sunday quoted in yesterdays
Herald. II was not Rev. j. A B. Wilson,
who, because of his strict temperance
principles and Prohibitionst politics, is
sometimes irreverently referred to as
the Rev. John Apple Brandy Wilson. In
the citation of texts from Genesis l., xvi.
and Mathew XVI. t.. by the Rev. j. H.
Is. Wilson, no political significance what
ever was intended, and any political sig
nificance deducble from the numerical
combinations of chapter ard verse was
utterly unsupported by the good pastor
who is not 16 to / man.
A needle has been found lodged in the
third finger of Slugger Sharkey, accord
ing to the San FranciNo Examiner
Sharkey says it was run into his little
| finger seven years ago, in a football
game, and when his father tried to pull
it out it broke off. 1t has travelled
around the middle finger since then.
Mr. Clarence Miller who has just re-
turned from an extended trip through
the east, saw the X-ray apparatus in
Lexington, Ky. It's different there
The Herald's machine is better than the
one shown there, but the people are diff
! ferent somehow. Frinstance, when the
operator there said "Will some gentle
man with bullet in his body please step
up to the machine?" the entire audience
