WANTED A BROKEN NOSE.

An Odd Incident In the Practice of
Surgeon.
'What was the strangest case I ever
had!' said the surgeon. well, let me
see. / believe the oldest incident of my
career occurred in But hold, on second
thought don't care TO give any names
or dates. The facts, il you like, were
these: l was called by messenger to
cheap boarding house one evening q at
tend man who was said to have been
hurt in fight. l found young fellow
Of 20 or thereabout half dazed, with
bloody confusion ON one of his cheeks
and badly broken nose. The bridge
was smashed almost fat with the face,
and l saw at once that the case would
need very careful handling to prevent
great Disagreement. Not to bother you
with technical details, confined myself
that night to superficial dressing md
deferred further proceedings until next
day.
"When called the following morning,
the young man had quite recovered his
senses, and, although his clothes were
shabby and all his surroundings poor
and mean, it was evident from his hands,
talk and bearing that he had never done
any hard work and was a person of edu-
cation and refinement. / took him for
the black sheep OF some good family, but
made no comments and explained briefly
that l would try to restore his nose as
far as possible by performing a slight op-
Grafton and inserting an artificial sup
port.
''To my establishment he objected fat
ly and insisted on letting 1t heal exactly
as It was. But you will be frightfully
disfgured,' protested. Il doubt II your
best friends would recognize you.' Strange
to say, that assurance seemed to render
him only the firmer. and i was compelled
to let him have bis way. 1t was nearly
three weeks before he was well, and, as
/ anticipated, he looked exactly like some
battered bruiser of the prize ring.
~ never saw the man again, but six
months later l was shown the photo
graph of handsome young chap who
was badly wanted for a big embezzle-
ment. put my finger over the nose and
recognized my late patient. He had
walked aboard ship right under the eyes
of detectives and sailed for the Argentine
Republic. They had his photograph. but
never dreamed of connecting it with the
caved in countenance of that particular
passenger"
'Did he get somebody to break his
nose on purposeT asked the reporter.
II never ascertained," said the sur
geon.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

Don't mention II IN the presence Of
the clerk unless you are out in search OF
serious trouble. They arrived at the ho-
tel, one Of the best Detroit affords, late
In the afternoon. The man who can pass
at his election for 30, 30 or any point
between stepped briskly to the register,
proudly registered his name land wife,"
confided to the clerk that they were Just
taking n little wedding tour and plainly
indicated that the best the house afford

their blood.
Pretty old brace of BIRDS" the clerk
soon confded to one Of the hotel set

a 2-year-old. Strong way Of moving he
has. I'd bet right now he could knock
our heads together and not rumple his
clothes. Anyhow, they've got the bridal
chamber, and | told the head waiter to
make II pleasant for them"
Inside Of - hours they were the de-
light Of the hotel. She had big black
eyes that had a way of smiling In nd
vance of her lips and dubbed over with
good feeling. And she seemed to have
him hypnotized. At the table she would
whisper to him, and he would chuckle
and tell her that she was just as big
deal as ever and then spread mustard
on his bread, put Worcestershire sauce In
his coffee or use cayenne pepper instead
OF black. She would leave the dining
room hanging on his arm with both
hands, those great eyes looking adora-
ton Mt the side Of his head.

heard him say at the table, "and they

some act that delighted the younger
guests and caused the older ones to pre-
dict that things would be very different
In six months. There was week Of
this, and then he made every one sorry
by serving notice and paying his bill.
The hotel had never entertained a more

Thetr Lodging In q Hive.
"At the I3eekecper's In Swarmine
Time" Is the title of the following ac-
count In 81. Nicholas OF the means en-
ployed to lure swarming bees Into hive:
Let US imagine ourselves at n farm
house far back In the country, where
honeybees are kept and cared for by the
old fashioned method. 1t is q pleasant
forenoon in the latter part OF May. The
barefooted boy that Whittier told us
about rushcs across the yard from the
old apple tree under which he and his
friends have been playing. dashes into
the house, GREATNESS in his eager ex-
element. and loudly shouts:
Mother, mother, tho bees are swarm
ingv
Now, just why he should be In such q
haste is not easily explained; probably
the boy himself could not tell, but true II
Is that the swarming of the bees causes
the boy and all others to rush around as
nothing else would do but an alarm that
the house or barn was on FIRE.
The mother needs no second summons.
She drops the work In hand, rushes out,
and, shading her eyes with one hand,
takes a hasty look ut the cloud OF bees
lowering over and around one side of the

The cloud Of bees in the air settles
lower and seems smaller as cluster be-
gins to form on one of the lower limbs
of the tree. By this time Farmer Rood
and his ''hired man" John have arrived.
He first spreads ON the ground a sheet

pletely dried out and yet not wet. A rail
from the neighboring fence holds the
hive in slanting position so that the
raised open edge Is directly under the
cluster.
When all Is ready. the farmer advances
with one OF the poles used in propping
up the clothesline in the back yard, and
the rest go back short distance. There
is a minute or two of GREATNESS sus-
pense, and then he hits the limb with the
pole and turns and runs.
This is the signal for all to run in va.
rious directions. The cluster falls in
solid mass, but almost Immediately about
half the bees rise into the air, making
cloud of bees all the way from the hive
to the limb, on which some settle. A few
go in the hive, but often nearly all go
back on the limb, and the process Of
knocking the limb and running away

TORS mouse. Inc streeIs were almost
deserted The lights at the corners
flickered and showed pale through the
lamps.
as he turned down narrow street,
intending to make short cut across q
park that lay near the doctors, he was
suddenly seized by three or four young
mon, and one of them said in a tone
wh.ch betrayed drunken debauch:
Hold up your hands and deliver!
You've got plenty of chink. and we
haven't! So no squalling, or Wen
shoot you for it,
Mr. Hardy was taken completely by
surprise. But he was a vigorous, ath-
lctic man. and his first impulse was to
shake himself loose. to knock down
two of his assailants next to him and
make a run for 1t. His next glance,
however. showed him the nature of
the group Of young men. They We're
not professional robbers, but young
men about town who had been drink
ing late and We're evidently out on q
lark and We're holding him up just for
fun.
Mr.. Hardy guessed exactly right.
What could he do? Two of the young
men were known to him, the sons of
the Bramleys, who were well to do
people in Barton. Mr.. Hardy's next
impulse was to discover himself 10
them and beg then to quit such dam
gerous fooling and go home. The three
other young men were in shadow, and
he could not tell them. All this pass
ed through his thought with a flash.
But before he had time to do anything
a police officer sprang out of a door
way near by, and the group of young
men, dropping their hold Of Mr.. Hardy,
fled in different directions.
The officer made pursuit and after
a short run captured orr of the young
men, whom, after vigorous resistance,
he dragged back to where Mr. Hardy
stood, exclaiming:
Here's one of the rascals, SIR. 1
heard 'em when they held you up.
We've been looking for this gang some
time now. just identify this one if he
is the one that just now grabbed you.
SIR"
Under the light of the lamp the po-
liceman dragged the form of his vic
tim and roughly struck up his hat. At
that instant MIR. Hardy looked into his
face and cried out:
George! Is it you?"
And the son replied as he started
back:
"Father!''
The two looked at each other in 81
lence, while the snow fell in whirling
fakes about them.
And this was the end of Robert Har-
dy's third day.

bowed his head and seemed thinking.
The officer. who had been waiting for
another move on the part of the older
man. said:
We'll. we must be moving on. It's
warmer in the lookup than out here.
So come along, young fellow, and do
your talking tomorrow morning with
the rest of the drunks and disorder
lies.''
Stop" cried Robert Hardy. "This
is my son! Do you understand? What
are you going to do?"
"Well, governor, that's pretty ques-
ton at this time of day. Do! I'm go
ing to jug him for assault with intent
to commit highway robbery. It's an
affair for the 'pen,' can tell you"
"But you heard him say it was all a
joke"
"a pretty joke to try to hold a man
, up on the highway and demand his
money! Oh. no! That's carrying a
joke too far. Pm bound to obey or
ders. We've been after this gang Of
young chaps for month now"
But, officer, you don't understand!
This is my son!"
''Well, what of that? Don't we. jug
sons every day for some deviltry or
'other? DO you suppose you are the
only father whose son is going to the
devil?"
90 God, not" cried Mr.. Hardy. with
sudden passion. But this is my older
boy. 1t would kill his mother to have
him arrested and put in Jail for trying
to rob his own father. Yet he, was
once innocent What am | saying?
He might be now if had done my
duty"
MIR. Hardy confronted the officer
with certain sorrowful dignity which
even that hardened defender of the
law understood.

for it if any blame falls on you for it.
