YOU May MARK THIS,

When the managers Of a Kansas
City paper became angry with each
other and went into law, several inter
esting secrets leaked out. One of these
was that Honorable (O Mark Hanna
paid that paper $3.50 to fool it's readers
and keep them in line for Mckinley.
This goes to prove that your uncle
Mark will make his mark in this world
If he has to use q 8 mark to do it.

words of Henry George: "Who shall

With, nothing "a avail. For them
there is no special providence. Under
all forms of government the ultimate
power lies with the masses It is not

There has always been a popular
idea that New York did not value beau
ty in its women as highly as style.
Gotham's feminine types are perfect in
their way, clear cut, high bred, we'll
groomed, and above all perfectly clad.
But they are not, as a rule, pretty, In
the sense that a southern or western
man would use the term. 1t Is in the
south that beauty reigns supreme and
q girl on the other side Of the Mason
and Dixon line, be she ever so rich,

she has also the divine gift. But late
" Gotham, untrue to tradition, has

Miss Marie Churchill is the honored
object of this alteration. She Is con-
coded to be the most beautiful woman

A remarkable instance of this special

oy Darwin. inasmuch as this species
glorines Darwin's faith In the truth Of

IN the long battle for its supremacy.
among the host Of skeptics-and were
they not legion ?-who met this eyolu-
tionary and Revolutionary theory with
incredulity not to say ridicule or worse,
was one who thus challenged its author
shortly after the appearance Of his
Ferulization Of Orchids" addressing
Darwin from Madagascar substantially
az follows: upon your theory Of evo-
luton through natural selection all the
various contrasting structural features
OF the orchids have direct reference to
some insect which shall best cross fer
tlize them. If an orchid has a nectary
an inch long, an insects tongue OF
equivalent length Is implied; nectary
SIX inches In length likewise implies q
tongue six inches long. What have you
70 say in regard to an orchid which
nourishes here in Madagascar possess
ing long nectary as slender as knit
ting needle and. eleven inches In
length! On your hypothesis there
must be q moth with a tongue eleven
inches long, or this nectary would new
er nave been elaborated" Darwin's re-
ply was magnificent in its proof Of the
sublime conviction OF the truth Of his
Denef: The existence Of an orchid with
slender nectary eleven inches In
length and with nectar secreted at Its
tip is conclusive demonstration Of the
existence Of a moth with q tongue IL
inches In length, even though no such
moth is known" Many Of us
remember the ridicule which was
heaped upon him for this apparently
blind adherence to an untenable theory.
But victory complete and demoralizing
to his opponents awaited this oracular
utterance when later disciple of Oar
win, led by the same spirit Of faith and
conviction, visited Madagascar and was
soon able to affirm that he had caught
the moth, huge sphinx moth, and that
its tongue measured eleven inches In
length.

Unusual Surgical Operation.

A remarkable surgical operation has been
performed upon Adrian DehertOghe a ma
chlnist OF San Francisco. Fifteen yards Of
silver wire. as large around as an ordinary
hypodermic needle, have been introduced
into and colIed within his aortn, the arte-
rial channel leading directly from the heart.
Those forty-hve feet of wire have been In
these for three months. and. surgeons say,
have saved his life They were inserted at
q time when death seemed certain-comph-
cations resulting from a severely injured
aorta, the patients trouble being an aneur-
ism, or saculated tumOr Of the arterial wall.
Its development TO a rupture OF the aOrta
was only a question Of time. with instant
death as the result. The wire was intro
duced into the distended or abnormal sac
formed In the aorta. In order partly to I'LL IL

contract and be there absorbed. thereby re-
storing the channel to its normal formation.
