A Mississippi editor tells the sto-
ny of young bachelor sheriff who
was called upon to serve an attach
ment on a handsome young widow.
He called and said, MADAM / have
an attachment for you" She
blushed and said the Attachment
was reciprocrted. "You misunder-
stand me-" he said, "you must pro-
coed to court" She told him she
knew it was leap year but she had
rather he would do the counting
MADAM he continued, "This is no
time for trifling, the justice is wait

said. A squire married me the
first time and / had bad luck.
South Africa is a long ways from
the United States, but there are
numerous reasons why the officials
of this government are watching
with intense interest the progress
of the war between Great Britain
and the Transvaal Republic.
There are in the Transvaal Repub-
lie and the adjoining country, the
Orange Free State, more than
thousand Americans, many of them
representing large American bust
ness interests. These men and
their interests must be protected,
and in addition, the two or three
consular officers we have over there
we have no minister in South
African territory-will also look
after the interests of British subjects,
just as the British consular officers
in Cuba did after American inter
ests in Cuba during the war with
Spain. There is also great danger
that other powers may get mixed
up in this war. Germany is under
stood to be in sympathy with the
Beers, and Russia would probably
be glad to do anything, short of
actually assisting the Beers, that
would be calculated to lessen Brit
ish influence. This government
will observe the strictest neutrality,
and will have several warships in
African waters as quick as they can
be gotten there. While there is
little doubt of the ultimate result,
this war isn't likely to be a thirty
day affair. The Beers are hard
fighters, and until Great Britain
has time to send a much larger
number of troops than it now has
on the grounds, the advantage will
be on their side.

chic Demonstrations That Puzzle
the Most Skeptical-He Has Ar

PROF. REEDE

Professor Reede is a man who has
made a reputation for himself, way in
advance of his years. No practitioner
of occultism can equal his tests. He
tells every visitors age, full name, date
OF birth, or anything of their past or
future. without asking a single ques-
ton. His feats have surpassed the
marvellous and bordered on the thrill
ing. Love, courtship, marriage, di-
Vorce, sales, changes, employments,
Wills property, speculations, patents.
old estates, lawsuits, seem alike to him
to become plain, and the best course
indicates itself, however involved the
affairs might have seemed at the out
set. Difficulties in love melt before his
wizard touch; the most difficult prob
lens of married life become as plain as
the 4, B, c. Speculation becomes GER
tainty, and troublesome questions of
business stand out as clear as crystal
when once brought before his far-see-
ing eye. Sales are made or avoided to
the profit of the client; old intricate
meshes of law involving the settlement
of estates long in the tortuous channel
of the courts, present new and clear
phases. Information relative to pat
ents is obtained offhand without resort
to musty records or hiring of an attor-
ney for costly investigation. On each
and every subject the brilliancy of a
mind acute and in touch with some su-
perior element makes Itself known and
it's effects felt

In one of the surgical amphitheatres
IN New York the writer watched the
conclusion of an operation. When it
was over and the patient had been
wheeled away on a stretcher to one of
the wards, it was noticed that an as
sistant, in gathering up the instruments
from the antiseptic solution tray, count
ed them and checked them off on a
memorandum which had been made be-
fore the operation was begun. The
chief surgeon was asked why this was
done.
..oh. that, 'he replied, lis to make
sure that no instruments have been
Sewed up inside of the patient"
But" was the Mortified question,
has such a mistake ever occurred?'
"Oh, yes, frequently replied the sur
geon.
And what becomes Of the patient in
such a case?"
We'll, some of him live, but the most
of him die. That is the reason we are
careful. Yet it is wonderful how much
the average person viii stand in the
way of foreign substances in the body.
1t was announced the other day by DR..
NoreStin, the well known Russian SUI
geon, that a woman who had been
treated for constantly recurring alb
cesses had finally recovered when a pair
of hoemoStatic forcepS, which had been
in her for years, had been accidentally
discovered and removed. This pair of
forcepS was four inches long, and had
remained in the woman's body four
years. A short time ago an up-country
doctor came to the city to be operated
upon, / believe, for the removal of the
Vermiform appendix, although ! under
stand he never had appendicitis. He
was borrowing trouble, and he got it.
He did not improve after the operation,
and one night he died. There was an
autopsy, and it was found that d
sponge had been sewed up in him. 1t
was most unfortunate. Yet / have
known OF many forceps, clamps and
other metal instruments to be forgot
len and left in patients, and the latter
get well. The character of the instru-
ment may be said to determine the de-
mise of the patient. Sponges are bad.
From their very nature they become
collecting agents and soon poison the
body. The smooth metal Objects. on
The other hand, are apt to work their
way into the alimentary tract and then
they soon pass away. You doubtless
have heard of needles which have
stayed in the human body for years.

carry the bullets shot into them during
the dime museums really perform Won
ders in the way of resisting foreign
substances in the human body. But
the most wonderful case of all was that
of an insane man whom / saw in an
asylum in Lancaster, Pa. He took to
swallowing things in the carpenter shop
and, before he stopped, he had gulped
down 40 odd nails of all sizes, some
buckles, a piece of old iron, some screws
and lot of other things-I cannot re-
member them all now, but it is on the
record. Well, they tied him down and
anestheticized him and extracted the
hardware, somewhat after the Caesar
can principle. Those things are in the
museum, and the man-oh, he got well
enough. He's a healthy lunatic now

patient, who was being prepared for
operation. She was a child lying mo-
