later I received a letter from a friend
which put me in the right light. 1t

sense.
THE outcome was I kicked the fell
low out of the store and sent my
daughter to Chicago to live with her

know. I got lonesome and sent for my
wife to come and visit me. Instead, she
sent my eldest daughter, ana George,

Sister, l am married to that man, but

awful news was brought to me by my
oldest daughter from Chicago. 1t broke

From Reuler.
HE WAS AN ADVENTURE
That Is What Her Father Calls Him-He

A bit Of local sensation came to light
last night when the following associat-
ed press dispatch flashed westward over
the wires:
Chicago, March 4.-Refusing to take
a dare given by mutual friends,
George c. Reuler, a wealthy merchant
of Duluth, Mimi, and Eta Sablotzky,
a resident of Chicago. We're married by
a justice of the peace in Butte, Mont,
on Dec. A, 1898. The young woman, after
returning to Chicago and realizing the
seriousness of the proceedings, filed a
bill for divorce in the superior court to-
day. The defendants attorney filed an
appearance in the case at once and after
hearing the evidence the court enter
ed a decree setting aside the marriage"
A reporter for the Standard called on
Jacob Sablotzky, proprietor of the Chi
| cago Bargain store in lower Main street,
last night just before the hour of clos
| ing. He met Mr.. SablotZky in his office
busily engaged in checking up the days
| business, assisted by couple of
cashiers.

SOLDIER SECURES A NEW NOSE.
He Lost the Real One in Battle, but the
Substitute Is All Right.

From London Public Opinion.
An interesting fact has just come to
light which strikingly exemplifies the
wonderful strides of modern science. 1t
is a case in which a warrior from the
great battle of Omdurman, who suffered
serious facial Disagreement, has had
his disagreement obliterated and his
features made to appear to all intents
and purposes as perfect as if nothing
had happened. In short, he had the
greater part of his nose cut clean off
and he has been provided with a new
nose. This hero of the Soudan, by name
Sergeant Freeman, is a member of the
21st lancorr, and he took part in the
memorable charge at Omdurman Dur
ing the charge one of the lieutenants
of the lancers was attacked by a derv-
ish. who, getting hold of the officers
right hand. in which he carried his
lance. cc:~-3-~enced industriously saving
a: the ii Ni,il his sword. with the
evident int ten of severing his hand
Sergeant Freeman was fighting his way
through bunch of dervishes when he
heard the yong officer. who was Lieu
tenant N22s a%m, cry out, and, turning.
saw the D.~' cament in which he was
placed. Il made a dash for the spot
and, running his lance through the
dervish, saved the lieutenant. However.
at the next n Inent he was confronted
by two de NF.F1 S, who wildly SlaSneu
at him ". t;5air swords. He parted
the blows and killed them both in turn.
but one tcrriH7 blow from a sword came
so near &c e-,.''eT his life as to strike
his nose and rr''y away the lower carr
tilage as far e he upper lip.
Freeman was ;rvalided home and be-
came an inr- IT. 6 Netley hospital. He
ultimately recovered and was sent by
Colonel Martin. who was in command

to consult Mr.. Groves. L, D. s., r. c. s.,
of Wolverhampson, who has become
famous for his restoration of facial dis
requirements Mr.. Groves, in spite of
exceptional difficulties, has treated the
case with complete success An artiti-
cial substitute for the natural organ
has been built up, 50 that the injury is
not perceptibIe Sergeant Freeman
leaves England next month for Cairo to
reioin his regiment. He has proved
himself gallant and heroic soldier,
and it is pleasant to know that he
goes back to Egypt apparently none
the worse for his awkward experience,
having been saved from a lifelong and
unsightly Disagreement.
Mr.. Groves himself thus describes the
means by which he gave the sergeant
his new nose: The artificial organ is
first nodded from a plaster model of
the face and then worked up in plati-
mum and vulcanite and painted and
fired. until the artificial production be-
comes an exact reproduction of the
lost feature.
