Ingenious Woman.

No one is more prolific of clever
ideas in aiding the escape of prisoners
than an ingenious woman. The story
is told of some criminals who were
handcuffed and with their escorts stood
waiting for the train to convey them to
Jail. Suddenly woman rushed
through the crowd and, looking
through heavy tears, cried out: "Kiss
me good-by, Ned!" The escort good
naturally allowed the process of os-
culation" to be performed, and the
sheriff smiled feelingly. The train had
not gone far when the favored prisoner
unlocked his bracelets and escaped.
The woman had passed small key
from her mouth to his during the fond
farewell.-Detroit Free Press.

DEWEY'sLIGHTLIVER
The Hero of Manila Has Only Part
Of That Organ.
He Once Underwent n Terrible OPP
GRAFTON for "TrOpic Liver"
and Was Near to
Deaths Door.

Ihere are lew OmCerS Oh the navy
who can recall when Rear Admiral
George Dewey once before faced
death, and an occasion when that Off
Ger didn't have half chance; but it
was an occasion that he did not wish
TO have made public at the time nor for
some time afterward. Perhaps some
will be prompted. when they meet him
after his return from the Philippines,
to say to him: "Well! you had liver!"
But that is just what Admiral George
Dewey hasn't, nor has he had one for
several years. Now good, whole liver
is regarded as indispensable to keep
a man going, but Dewey has shown to
the world what he can do with only a
part of liver.
It was when Dewey was captain only
that he underwent a terrible opera
ton under an Italian surgeons knife
and hazarded possible chance of life,
and for long time afterward he suf-
fered intensely from the effects of the
marvellous excision. He was COM
handing officer Of the sloop-of-war
Pensacola in the European squadron
at the time, and he had become des-
perately ill from what mariners are
frequently troubled with, "tropic
liver" in other words, what is more
commonly spoken of as baked liver"
or tropical liver ailment, which is as
much more severe than yellow jaun-
dice, as all tropical diseases are more
virulent than the corresponding types
in temperate zones. On two occasions
Medical Director Hoeling expressed
alarm as to the result unless some re-
lief was brought to hand.
Finally, at Malta, q consultation was
held between Surgeon Hoehling and
his assistant and an Italian specialist
of southern Italy, who belongs to the
class that makes themselves familiar
with those troubles, because in the
climate of the Mediterranean they are
an indigenous product. The trouble
was soon diagnosed, and it was sug-
gested that the only relief was to re-
| move that part of the liver that had
become hardened It was also recog-
| nized that the operation would be a
hazardous one. When spoken to about
it Capt, Dewey asked what was the
chance of making the operation sue
| cessful. The italian expert respond
| ed: There's only one chance in ten
| OF your living through it," To this the
officer replied that he would take that
chance and for the surgeons to go
to work as soon as they wished. The
patient was put under the influence of
anaesthetics, his stomach was cut into
| and the diseased end Of the liver drawn
out and inspected and then cut off.
The remaining part was treated to
prevent hemorrhage and then put
back in place, and the lips made by the
surgeons knife were sewed up. The
recovery was n slow process, but it
was successful operation, and he is
as able to do duty to-day as if no
operation had ever been necessary
But his most intimate acquaintance
say that the operation worked a
change in his temperament.-N. Y

A church fair in New York city
last week was suddenly converted
from a manifestly fiat failure into a
triumphant success-speaklnR in a
financial way-by suddenly springing
a lottery for the disposal of a beauti.
full pair Of silk garters, with silver
buckles. Every young man walked
home for the want of a nickle with
which to pay car fare. Whether Rev.
Or. Parkhurst was present and a bid
der, or not, is not stated.
