New York Special to Chicago Chron-
icle: Saturday night Otto Hopper met
John Williams in Brooklyn saloon.
Williams wished to enjoy himself con-
vivially because he expected to die in
few weeks from appendicitis. Invi-
tations to drink were exchanged. The
two men arranged game of cards.
quarrel ensued and Hopper drew a
knife. With vicious stroke he thrust
at Williams abdomen and buried the
knife to the hilt. Hes killed me-"
yelled Williams, falling to the floor.
But Hopper had not killed him. He
had saved his life instead. An am.
bulance took Williams to the Eastern
District hospital. Il haven't ghost
Of show" Williams told the doctors.
ITS no use. was dying from appen-
dicitis, anyway, so it doesn't count"
He was laid on the operating table and
the doctors examined the wound.
They found that the knife of his as
sailant had performed the operation
necessary for appendicitis. In few
days Williams was well.

Grn itude of n Snake.

The topsz is called the stone OF graf
itude, and the old Roman books re-
cord the following legend from which
the stone derives its attribute: The
blind Emperor Theodoslus used to
hang a brazen gong before his palace
gates and sit beside them on certain
days, hearing and putting to right the
grievances of any OF his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice and
help had but to sound the gong and
Immediately admission into the pres
ence OF Caesar was obtained. One
day a great snake crept up to the gate
and struck the brazen gong with her
coils, and Theodosus gave orders that
no one should molest the creature and
bade her tell him her wish. The snake
bent her crest low,y in homage and
straightway told TIE following tale:
Her nest was at the base OF the gate
way tower, and while she had gone to
find food for her young brood n
strange beast covered with sharp
needles had invaded her home. killing
