SCARED OUT OF THEIR GROWTH.

Medical Students Thought Corpse
HAD Come From a Warm Place.
One Of the foremost surgeons of the town
gave a dinner last week to several of his
colleagues and an old college mate from
the west, says thu Washington Post. All
sorts Of old storie'I were raked up, and the
physician from the west told a story of
those old college days-a story, by the
way, that old Washingtonlans will remem-

gal provision was made for supplying dead
bodies to medical colleges, and the dread.
ed might doctor" regularly Piled his vo-
cation. 1t fell to the lot Of two medical
students one night to resurrect a corpse
they knew of as material for their dlssec-
lions. One of the medical students was
this same wealthy surgeon. The other Is
now dead. Together they visited the GEM
etery and secured the body. Wrapping 1t
In blanket, they set 1t up between Them
in their buggy. They were by no means
as hardened as the real medical student
likes to be- and they stopped at a wayslde
inn for something to brace their nerves.
After they had taken bracer they took
something to ward off a chill and some
thing else to counterfeit the malarial ten
dency or the night all. Altogether they
were some time in the inn, and the doctor
from the west-he was only a medical stu
dent then, and happened to be at the inn
embraced his opportunity. The two holy
snatchers came out, climbed into thell
buggy and drove OFF.
John" said one of them In a whisper,
II believe this corpse is getting warm"
"N-n-nonsense," said the other.
They drove on.

John fearfully touched the body.

pulchral tones, the corpse Remarked:

The two students never heard the final
words, for they sprang from the buggy
and galloped of in terror, leaving the sup
posed corpse to drive back to town alone.
And the great surgeon and the western
doctor roared in the telling of the story
with mirth one of them did not feel when
the story was new.

WANTED HER PRECIOUS FLOWER.
Buffalo Woman Took Her Gala Lily
to California.


A Buffalo woman went to California to
spend the winter a couple Of weeks ago,
says the Buffalo Express.
She is great lover Of flowers. She has
her yard full Of them in the summer and
her house full of them in the winter. Her
particular pride is big Gala. When she
was making up her list of things to take
to California she included the Gala. She
read the list to her husband. When she
came to the Gala, he said: Now,
wouldn't take that Gala"
Why nOt?' she asked, with some as.

nervous and worried and all that. But 1
remembered the comfort the blossoms

CUBANS STARVING.
An Appeal for Aid to Be Made to
This Country.

HAVANA, April 26.-Americans in
MatanZas are about to appeal to the
United States for provisions to allay
the suffering from hunger in that city,
where the condition of affairs daily
becomes more frightful For many
days past the suffering among the
1000 reconcentradoS who have been
herded together there has been intense,
and the American residents have final
ly decided to try to aid the sufferers.
The American official, who has an
intimate personal knowledge of affairs
there, has said he has actually seen
children fall from the arms OF their
staggering mothers and perish before
their eyes from hunger Three thou
sand of these sufferers formed a pro-
ceSsiOn few days ago, and appealed
to the mayor for food.
This state of things has forced the
city authorities to order more than
1000 of the unfortunates to leave the
city. 1t was first proposed to issue
an order to these persons to return to
their homes in the country, but as it
was known that in most cases their
homes had been destroyed, a compro-
mise was adopted, and they We're or
dered to go to the towns and the So
called zones of cultivation nearest
where they formerly lived. For a
limited period the railroads were or
all of which simply means that Matan-
Zas will Tighten it's frightful burden,
but that they will starVe elsewhere.
There are among these sufferers a
considerable number of Americans,
some of whom have been already aided
by Consul Brice, who, l have been told
by an American who recently returned
from this stricken spot of Gen. Wey-
ler's, will take it upon himself to make
a startling report of these conditions
to his government
What is true of Matanzas is true
of every town and village in the So
called pacified provinces of Pinar del
Rio, Havana and Santa Clara, and
I know from personal observation that
along the railroads there are many
thousands Of refugees, whose plight is
pitiable in the extreme.
