Michael Burke has been at the City

and during all that time he has been
under a strict diet. All the usual rem

Dir 7 O. Hirschfelder had been attend

medical men who have been IN consul

given il as their opinion that his case
was homeless and that death was not

Experiments of transplanting the
nancreas from new born animals 10
diabetic patients has been tried with
some success in European hospitals
and DR.. Hirschfelder, as last resort,
resolved to try it in the case OF Mlchael
Burke.
DIR Emmett Rixford was asked to per-
form the surgical part Of the operation
and Yesterday the organ OF the puppy
was successfully transferred to the sur

was resting easily, but what the maj

Of stone were qUarried by means OF

abate our admitted tendency to indulge
in too much standardization. 1t will do
us no harm TO take our eyes once in a

OF a philosopher lie was reading a
newspaper on street car, and beside
him sat a demUre young man.
All OF a sudden, but with no sigE of
haste about it, the solid man carried
has hand 10 his trousers pocket and
gave a start. The wad of bills which
he knew was there when he boarded
the car was gone. The young man was
a p.ckpocket, and had extracted the
Doodle.
I've been looking for you for some
time," quietly remarked the philoso-
pher as his hand slid over on the pick
pockets leg.
Yes" was the reply.
Il have always said that no one could
pick my pocket or snip my watch but
you have got my money. You deny it,

"Of course"
But denials are useless. | remember
now Of feeling movement about my
pocket several minutes ago. Young
man you look to have considerable in
telligence and are perhaps fairly well
educated.
Yes, that is the case" was the reply.
"Then why don't you turn to some
honest profession? You may accumu-
late a few hundred dollars picking
pockets, but you will sooner or later
be overtaken and sent to prison"
I'm an assistant boOkkeeper at SIS

young man.

a better way"
What is it?" he asked, but not with
much interest.
I'm going to get off pretty soon.
You will get off with me. l will then
take my money from you and kick you
until am tired. A good booting will dc
you more good than a cart load of law.

wrist and got off the car. The solid
man looked around to see if any police

showed his left hand down into his

His fingers grasped something and
pulled it out. 1t was his wad of green
