ALL RIGHT AT STUART.
Some Unwritten History Concerning the
Press Excursion

Press Excursion.
ARKANSAS Gaut, senior vice mayor
OF stuart, was in the city yesterday.
He came up from the valley to buy a
spring suit Of clothes and to have his
picture taken. He says the ranchers
in his neighborhood. are thinking seri-
ousiy of blowing their acres. They
have had no cold weather or snow TO
speak of and have about concluded that
the best thing to do to kill time is to
dust off their plows and go at it. The
stock is fat and independent.
Mr.. Gaut gives out a bit of news re-
garding the recent press excursion to
Deer Lodge which those members most
concerned had succeeded in keeping
quiet The special made stop of about
five minutes at Stuart. and of course
some of the excurSionistS took advant-
age of the opportunity to see the sights
of the city, and the first visit was at
Gauts resort, the Dewey" The name
he gave this place does not imply that
led the procession, and when it entered
the Dewey, Mr.. Gaut took his stand
behind the breastworks and said,
"What11 you have. gentlemen"
All hands lined up and ordered the
best looking things in sight. Just as
the visitors had replaced their hand
kerchiefs the locomotive bell rang and
they made a rush for the station plat
form, and they never came back. Gaut
says it's all right, but thinks it would
have been nice if the editors had said
"thankee." He will scratch it off thc
slate if those east side editors will send
him occasionally Sunday edition of
their papers.

A BOILING HOT HERO.
The "Master of the Hose Is the Hob
son of the Hill,

! son the HILL.
Ever since the recent fire in Walker
| Vile, Tom Burt, the master of the
hose" has been attending to a continue
uous stream of congratulations which
has been poured in upon him by his
| friends. Mr.. Burt is now considered
| the Hobson of the hill, sure enough
He did not suppose for a minute
though, that the papers would mention
| in detail the leading part he took in
transporting the hose cart to the scene
| of conf1agration, and he is firmly con-
WINGED that Marshal Curran poured the
story into the reporters ears.
Yesterday Mr.. Burt let a cat out of
| the bag, and in so doing he believes
| that he has squared accounts with
his friend Curran. There We're a dozen
or more members of the Polka club
sitting around the big table yesterday
when Burt sprang his sensation.
You fellows can guy as much as you
please, but the jolly will be on Jack
Curran hereafter. Maybe you remem-
Der the new picket fence that old Mrs
Watchercaller built around her house.
Curran bossed the job. and when it was
completed he declared that it was the
prettiest fence in town, and he talked
about that job for months afterwards.
"One bright afternoon in August Jack
ran down the street and fairly flew into
TIE llte HOUSE lie rang the DeH ana
bad everybody hopping around here. In
a second out Jack flew dragging the
hose cart after him. Down the street
he ran, and no one could catch up with
him to help him pull the wagon.
by the time Jack connected the hose
with the plug a big crowd had collected,
and one man ventured close enough to
ask him what was the matter.
" Go on said Jack can't you see
the fire.? dozen men rushed up to
offer their assistance, although they
could not locate the fire, but were will
ing to help if Jack would allow them.
when the connection was made
Jack grabbed the nozzle and yanked
the hose across the street and let fly a
stream of water against the object of
his excitement.
Just then old Mrs. Watchercaller
ran out of the house with rolling pin
in one hand and a skillet in the other.
You, Jack; what do We mean by
turning the hose on me washing! Get
out of that or I'll Spite yer facet.
Poor old Jack fell in a dead faint,
while the nozzle hoped around on the
ground as if convulsed with laughter.
This wise Mike. on the square, saw a
string of red flannel underwear on the
picket fence, and he thought his prize
job was in flames. He managed to keep
that affair quiet by buying the drinks
every day for a month. But it's all off
with his little game now What do you
think of him for a hero? I think he's
boiling hot"

A CLOSE CALL.
Family Has Narrow Escape From Death
by Asphyxiation.

The family of Harry Nichols at $50
Franklin street had a close call from
death by asphyxation on Monday
night. Some hours after the family
had retired Mr.. Nichols was awakened
by feeling of suffocation and found
the house filled with gas from a coal
stove. He started to get out of bed and
was overcome and fell to the floor but
with an effort he regained his feet and
staggered to window and threw it
open. After getting breath he turn
ed his attention to his wife and two
children, who were sleeping in an ad-
Joining room, but was unable to arouse
them. Some of the neighbors were call
ed in and doctor was summoned but
by the time he arrived Mrs. Nichols
and the youngest of the two children
had recovered consciousness. The doc
tor devoted his attention to the other
boy and for time had little hope of
reviving him, but after considera BILE
work succeeded in restoring him to
consciousness. 1t was some time, how
ever before he fully recovered from
the effects of the gas.

said Mrs. Tallman claimed that the

cancelled was not Sullivan, but in that
she is mistaken, for it was Sullivan
and no one else. She was very anxious
to have the matter explained in a way

 wisely presented enough to stir his sympathy and enthusiasm. He gladly halls every opportunity to serve the world and to minister to the needs of our race. The worlds fair at Chicago was such an occasion, when $100,0G0 were raised for special religious work in that city.
 A farmers son, who has hoed corn dug potatoes, followed the field, he has not lost the knack of farming or the care for detail in each department of work absolutely necessary for success. Near ly 200 acres of the 600 owned by the seminary are under cultivation and for the special use of the institution All the vegetables, milk and cream the farm supplies; all the pork and a portion of the beef are raised. They own 60 cows, 24 horses, with hens and chickens, the growing of which would rouse an army t6 battle. These latter are his pets, and MT. Moody feeding poultry would make a lively picture. A barn replacing one struck by lightning a few years ago, which cost $10000, is one of the finest in it's arrangements in a county famous for it's skilled and educated farmers. Two hundred and fifty tons of hay await the winters consumption. While of course the head farmer Is ever at his post yet, as he says, ID. l.. keeps his eye on everything, and is driving all over the lots sometimes at o'clock in the morning. He is prompt paymaster and is fair and just to all, and then, too he loves our little uns.'

The reply was, T have seen him In great straits, but he has never lost heart" A veritable St. Paul, None of these things move me, forgetting the past I press forward" We look for even greater things from this marvellous man in the coming de- cade, if his life is spared, than any 10 years before, for he seems more alert and enthusiastic than ever as he ap- breaches the new century.-Sidney E.

SUSCEPTIBILITY TO PAIN.

What we call ian ear for music" is
 almost an added sense in some people
 as compared with others Even in ami
 mals of relatively high intelligence, such
 as dogs and monkeys, there seems to be
 reason to think their perception if pain
 is much less acute than in humans. Af-
 ter serious operations under chloroform
 they are often friskng about in few
 minutes after recovering consciousness,
 and even jumping from the floor on to
 the operating table in a way which for
 bids the notion that they are then suf-
 fering In all animals the skin is prob
 ably less sensitive than the human skin
 is It is covered with insensitive hair,
 and though, no doubt, more sensitive
 than any other part of the body, it is
 presumably on quite different plane of
 sensitiveness to the human skin In
 human beings the sensitiveness of the internal organs is very small as com pared with that of the skin, Examples of this are familiar to every one. While in health no one knows anything of his
 'inSide:" he has no sensat tiOns from it. Even disease of a very serious kind can, and often does, go on for years in the internal organs without causing any sensation. The nerves of the internal organs are much more concerned with regulating functions and controlling the size of the blood vessels than with the conveyance of sensory impressions to the brain Life would, in fact, be un- bearable if the functions of animal life in a normal condition caused sensation. and they would cause it if the organs were richly supplied with sensory nerves. Every surgeon knows for ex- ample, that the human intestine is when it's muscular coat is at rest, al- most as insensitive as the hair or nails. In the operation of opening the intes- tine, often required in the presence of malignant disease, the cut in the skin and the business of fixing the gut to the skin would be very painful, and deep anesthesia ie required Two days later when the gut in it's new position has to be opened, teh patient is told to shut his eyes and he feels nothing-he does not even vince while a wound nearly two inches long is made in the intes- tinal wall with either knife or hot iron. This has been proved by many hundreds of cases, and certainly it Is not to be as due to stoioism on the part of the patient. Other important opera tions have been done without anasthes- ia except for the skin cut, and without giving rise to suffering of at all a severe kind It is most improbable that even the highest of the lower animals would feel pain where man feels none. On the contrary, from their smaller brain de- they probably always are less sensitive than man.-Edinburgh Review.
