Scrapbaskets, as has been suggest
ed, are a necessity in every room; but
If the chambermaid carries them off to
empty and forgets to return them they
may be the cause of great annoyance.
To obviate this have the maid carry to
each room large bag made of silesia,
the hem at the top being run on to a
metal or wooden hoop. Into this bag
each basket is emptied every morning,
and, as it never leaves the room, 1t Is,
of course, not lacking at the critical
moment; nor Is it found full to over
flowing just when bundle of papers
needs n home The bag is emptied
also after 1t has made its rounds and is
hung up with the brooms and brushes.

wound. He was taken from the state
room and, paralyZed in the left side

unconscious, was placed in berth
down in the hold of the ship, near the
engines, in the midst of the insane men
who were confined there.
Can't. Crenshaw said he was unable
to hold himself in the berth and fell
out three times while the ship was rid
ing out storms in the China seas. He
finally bribed a hospital steward with
$25 to give him some attention. At
San Francisco Capt. Crenshaw al
leges that treatment was refused him,
the surgeon in charge informing him
that it was impossible. because OF lin
tied assistance in the hospital The
wounded officer, accompanied by his
uncle, then started for Atlanta, and an
operation was performed here.
