A Pin in the Heart.

The old-time idea that the slightest
touch Of a foreign substance on the
heart means certain death was shatter-
ed years ago. One of the most remark
able cases ever heard Of, however, was
that described in paper read before
the Association Of American Physicians
some years ago by DR.. Peabody. 1t
was Of case where pin was found
In a human heart after having been
there for an indefinite period. The
point of the pin was distant about five
mlllimeters from the external surface
of the heart. The pin seemed eroded,
and was broken by the scissors in dis
section, without becoming displaced.
There was no evidence Of recent local
Inflammation, but that part Of the heart
In the neighborhood Of the protruding
head Of the pin was greatly thickened
and snow-white, and firmly adherent to
the edge Of the head.

New York Press, an Italian walked In
to town leading dancing bear and told
story which accounted for the in
juries. His name was Antonio Maxia,
and he was on his way from Buffalo to
New York. AS the weather was mild,
he conceived the idea of saving rail-
road fare and picking up few coins
along the way by walking the distance.
Without adventure he reached point
between Binghamton and Vestal, when
he determined to stay in vacant barn
over night.
Accordingly, "Beppo" was lodged in
one corner of q box stall and Antonio
curled down on pile Of straw for a
nap. He was awakened by several
rough forms bending over him and a
voice saying: We'll go through him
anyway, and if be hollers kick in the
head will finish him."
Antonio was frightened. He had $40
In belt. AS one Of the men seized his
arms, he gave the whistle he used to
call his four-footed servant. The men
thinking he was signaling a comrade,
threw him down and choked him until
he gasped for breath. They did not
see the dark form that emerged from
the box stall and shuffled toward them
Evidently "Beppo" realized the situa-
ton at once. Among his other accom-
pllshments he had at one time given
| boxing exhibitions with his keeper. AS
one of the men who was bending over
the Italian looked up and saw the heavy
figure, he gave a shout. Catching up a
club he struck violently at the bear.
The blow was parted and the club
sent crashing through window. Then
q companion drew revolver. A blow
sent the weapon in one direction and
the man sprawling on the ground. Then
it was that the wounded man drew a
knife and attempted to attack bruin.
} He was seized in brawny arms and left
shrieking for help as his companions
led.
! Fortunately for the man Antonio had
gained his senses and compelled the
animal to loosen his hold The tramp
on being released staggered to the door
and out into the darkness. Antonio
thinks that only for the prompt aid rem
dered by "Beppo" that night he would
have been robbed and perhaps muir.

The first time In the remembrance OF

ALL-AGE POINTER STAKE
Good Work Done by the Dogs In
Mississippi.

WEST POINT, MISS, January 1.-The
morning was cloudy, the weather clear
ing away in the afternoon. and being al
together favorable for good work. The
all-age pointer stake was continued. and
some excellent work was done by the
dogs Young Rip-Rap, the Derby winner,
owned by the Bar Harbor Kennels. ran
first. with +. G. Durhams dog, Elgn's
Dash, both doing fine work, Dasn
finding the more birds, but the better
character of work being with Rip-Rap.
Rip-Rap Saw and Delhi ran next, giyhg
an ordinary trial, with Delhi best on
game and staunchness Tippoo ana
Crackerjack ran in ordinary form, the
former proving best in every way. Napoo
ran his bye with a setter, and did fairly
good work, considering that he had slight
acquaintance with his handler.
Six dogs were taken into the second
series-Von Gull to run with Virginia,
Young Rip-Rap with Sister Sue, Tippoo
with Elgin's Dash. The territory for good
work was now better, and better show
ing was made with most of the dogs
Won Gull did not run as well as i'm his
first trial. but Virginia was quite as good
and the better of the two.
Young Rip-Rap far outclassed Sister
Sue. In fact he outclassed everything
else In the stake, and proved himself the
best young dog of the year. He will pro-
badly win the all-age stakes.
Tippoo and Elgin's Dash ran In decided
ly approved form and close competition,
but with the work of both trials consid-
cred, Dash is ahead. In single-bird work
he has not been equalled.
This closes the second series.
The cup for amateurs, contested for by
Professor Osthaus and II. S. Smith, run
ming Nabob and Rip-Rap, respectively.
was won by Smith.
The all-age setter stake will begin to-
morrow, after the finish of the pointer
stake. The champion stake, to begin next
Tuesday, closed with eight nominations.
