HI OPERATION.
SkiIfuI Way in Which the President Was
Treated just After the Shooting.

Treated JUST AFTER lne EhDDiihBs
Buffalo. N. Y.-Although full details
Of the operation upon the President
Immediately after he was wounded
have not been made public, the follow
ing facts regarding what surgeons did
are known:
The operation was performed by DR..
Matthew d. Mann. His first assistant
was DR.. Herman Mynter. His second
assistant was Dr.. John Parmenter.
His third assistant was Dr.. Lee of st.
Louis, who happened to be on the Ex-
position grounds at the time Of the ira
gedy and placed his services at the
disposal of the President. DR.. Nelson
noted. the time of the operation and
took the notes. DR.. Eugene Wasdin,
of the Marine Hospital, gave the
anaesthetic. DR.. Riyey arrived at the
latter part of the operation and held
the light. DR.. Park arrived at the
close of the operation. IL was DR..
Mann who welded the knife.
The operation lasted fifty-two min
utes. A cut about five inches long
was made. 1t was found necessary
to turn up the stomach of the Presi-
dent in order to trace the course Of
the bullet. The bullets opening in
the front wall of the stomach was
small and It was carefully closed
with sutures, after which a search
was made for the hole in the back
wall of the stomach. This hole,
where The bullet went out Of the
stomach, was larger than the first;
In fact, it was a wound over an inch
in diameter, jagged and ragged. II
was sewed up in three layers. This
wound was larger than the wound
where the bullet entered the stomach
because the bullet, in its course, forced
tissues through ahead of it.
In turning up the stomach, an act
that 3vas absolutely necessary, and
was performed by DR.. Mann with
great skill, the danger was that some
of thA contents of the stomach might

Men will be brought to see the folly of
wearing their lives out worrying over
the burden of millions, the 1.-THE of
which they neither can enjoy nor use.
An income sufficient to enable him to
live in luxury and a liberal competence
to leave his family at his demise, is all
the future inancier will struggle for.
1 have read that the trusts will father
a crop of billionaires in another
decade, but 1 do not believe any such
thing will be the outcome of con-
solidation of wealth and interest. I
believe that the big monopolies will be
gradually absorbed by the government.
It is absurd to advocate such a theory;
the American people are too sensible
and practical to be ruled by the trusts.
Trusts can never be the masters of the
American people.
The recent awakening of generosity
among wealthy men is due, think, to
the splendid example set by Mr.. Car
negie. 1t seems that the good seed scat
tered by Carnegie has brought forth an
hundred fold. He has been criticised
and cartooned, yet none of these
critics have suggested better way to
do good than the one Mr.. Carnegie has
so successfully adopted; they have no
charity, for while he has been giving
with princely hand they have been
swapping and snarling at his heels like
a pack of unruly poodles.

A Chinese Problem.

Now listen and will tell to you how
Capt. Bradley once solved a Chinese
problem. The captain was engaged
in that lucrative if not highly moral
employment of ferrying contraband
Chinks across Puget Sound from
British Columbia to Washington. He
received fifty dollars from each Chink
in advance, but as he owned only a
small schooner, about twenty passen-
gers was all he could accommodate.
On this memorable trip he started at
night as usual with a full cargo of
contrabands locked securely below
decks. When daylight came, much to
his surprise and chagrin, he saw a
revenue cutter headed towards him
only a few miles away. The cutter
signaled the schooner to stop and
fired shot in the way of emphasis.
The captain was in quandry: to stop
and be searched, meant term of i'm
prisonment for him and his crew,
besides confiscation of his vessel: to
keep on and try to run away was no
better, for if the cutter did not sink
him, she would certainly catch him,
for what can sails do in race against
steam.
Captain Bradley was equal to the
emergency; calling his four sturdy
sailors together they held short con-
sultation. One of the sailors went
below and sent up two or three China
men, who were Immediately seized and
dropped quietly overheard to wind
ward; others came up and met the
same treatment. The schooner swung
slowly around into the wind, and
waited for the cutter to come up. A
young officer came aboard with boats
crew and searched the schooner high
and low, and though it smelled like an
opium joint, not pigtail could be
found. The captain received the
apologies of the young officer with
good grace, though he looked now and
then little reproachfully at him for
delaying him on his journey. All me!
the captain was great man, but he's
dead now, poor man. ID.

HOME! THE SWEETEST
WORD.

Sweeter than the sound that fingers
On the stilly evening air,
When DER harp-strings glide the fingers.
Waking music slumbering there.
Sweeter than the notes of warblers,
Swelling out meath heavens dome,
With its spells of holy meaning,
Is that dearly loved word, Home.
How its voices hover around us,
When the busy day is O'er;
Calling back the feet that wander
To its sacred haunts once more;
How it thrills the exiles bosom.
While afar his footsteps roam
How his moisted eyes will glisten
When he hears of home, sweet home!
