etery.
twill be remembered that on the
10Th day Of June. 1898, there was ter.
Tic rowder explosion in the store of L.
ltollwage IL Co., in which Joe Sanders,
highly respected and esteemed young
business man who was selling the pow :
der, received injuries from which he
died the following day, and others were
more or. Jess injured. Among the latter
was the subject of this notice. Robert
was standing near Mr.. Sanders when
the explosion occurred. lie was car
ried home and for several DAYS his
symptoms were alarming. though the
family had no thought but that he
would come out of the trouble victori-
Gus. He had very strong constitu
ton and rallied. 1t was thought he
was almost recovered. He was able t.
get out. come down town and minglt
with his friends. But he had beer
horribly burned and the burns refused
to heal.
lie WAS taken to the Mitchell & Man
ry Infirmary at Memphis, where he ur,.
derwent most painful operations of
skin transplanting. These operations
were unsuccessful. and Robert was at
tackled with a stomach trouble. He
gradually grew worse. Some three
weeks ago he was brought home. He
has been slowly dying. Yesterday af-
ternoor he passed away, peacefully and
without struggle. There was no pain.
Ills death was only dream.
He had chung TO life tenaciously; he
had endured his sufferings heroically
and gritting his teeth he would ask the
surgeons, "Will that make me well
again" The brave boy loved his life.
but when he realized that he must yield
it up, did so uncomplainlngly.
The dark canopy of gloom is thus
twice hung over this family. within
a few short months In their
great bereavement The TIMES shares
its part, and we mingle our sorrow and
tears with them in the loss of their
promising boy. death is only a
dream. " How true this seems to be
in this case. where the victim simply
went to sleep.

In the course of few hours. the affa-
DE clerk, whose curiosity had been

Ihe young man represented mil.

lie confidently told the clerk that he
had drawn check "A few DAYS before

The clerk of the Belser was drawn to
the warm side of the young millionaire;
visions OF resplendent diamonds made

had notified the proprietor of his in

However,, circumstance arose ut this

his shirt (which he had previously

the usually quiet suspicious of the

company to supper per invitation.
The clerk accidentally saw this
change of apparel and then made
it convenient to not find Mr.. Wilson.
Next morning as the gentleman was
about to leave for Palestine with Nh.
Tea, the clerk told him that it was
customary for guests without baggage

out telegram from the Chemical Bank

KNOWN BY A SKULL CHIP.
odd Experience OF . Medical Mi..ie..
sry with 80 UneiviIIsed
Native African.


Probably the oldest case within my
experience was that Of Lapuie, who
made himself known TO me through the
use Of a detached piece OF his own
skull" said a medical missionary on q
furlough from his work among the
heather. "One morning / went out 20
look over the specimens Of real or fan.
sied injury which were awaiting treat.
ment. There was pretty nearly every
kind OF tropical disease In the outfit
from sore finger 10 dropsy. Most OF
the patients were well known 20 me,
but among them was one man whose
face was unfamiliar, and who seemed
10 belong 20 a different tribe. As I
stopped at his place he leaped TO his feet
M actively rs n cat, and from some
where In his scanty apparel dug up ar.
object which he promptly handed 90
me. IL was a circular piece Of human
skull A. big around ms n dollar. and
very nearly ~ thick. On the outer sur.
lace some one had carefully written In
ink the name LApuic. This must be
I think. the first case In which n man
has used part OF his own skull, In.
stead OF a visiting card.
II looked the man over az once TO 4 nd
out what the trouble was. lie had had
some sort of n difference Of opinion
with his chief. and as a result OF such
presumption had received a stout club
bling. One OF the blows had fractured
the skull. and for the time had knocked
him out. When the old women who
look after the science OF medicine
among these particular heather gor
bold OF Lapuie they found that n part
" his skull was loose. To save din.
guilty they pried the loose piece OF
With the blade of knife, poulticed up
the wound. and let nature do the rest.
The patient kept the chip OF his skull
and the inscription on IL was the work
Of some passing trader.
when the case came under my no.
lice there was scarcely more than the
thickness OF a piece Of parchment left
Of the skull over the brain, and the
wound had practically healed. II turne.
out that Lapuie had made the long

me, because this degree Of damage
troubled him. lie had the idea that
the piece Of the skull should be set
back In place, and he seemed 20 have
great confidence in my ability. II was
a great disappointment 90 him that his
skull chip could not he stuck back.
Although did all that surgical science
prcscribcs for the protection OF the thin
spot in the Uranium, my patient kept
aarping ON the fear that he might lose
his fragment OF bone which might fall
into improper hands and thus play the
mischief with him. The only way 20
Pacify him was 90 string the chip on a
copper wire and solder Il about his
neck."-N. Y. Herald.
