MAN HAS TWO HEARTS.
rhilndcI phia noctor Makes u Strange
Discovery While Treating Ono
of His Patients

Francis \. Gill, of 600 North Sixth
street, il is declared has two hearts
pumping blood for him. They are
joined by the arota, but each beats iudc,
pentlcHtly of the other. The disco
cry was made by Dr. {. T. Brady after
Gill had entered Northern disprnSary.

from coal carl attended TO.
The physician was applying the
sirthoSropr ia Giii'g chest and he be-
came puzzled over the heart beats. II
appeared to him tifatno matter where
he placed the instrument he could hear
the thump of a heart. He became
interested and applied tests with the
result that he found nature had sup
piled the young man with a subsidiary
heart. IA little to the right and below
the regular organ. These beat sinful
laneously. The physician is of the
opinion that an arch of the aorta sup.
plies them both. They join also after
the blood has left the heart so that
he circulation system is normal, al
ihough the arteries are necessarily
larger.

Think They zee Ghnsts

Some of the colored residents Of
the reighborhood of Alto Pass. H.. are
frightened. for they believe it is
haunted by ghosts. Some OF them
have moved away. Harry Smith tells
of meeting ghost while riding in he
country near town. Ii first appeared
to him near an old graveyard. aud.
after gliding along ahead of him for
about mile, it disappeared. The col
ored inhabitants of what is known as
the drainage district were until recent

youth, who would stealthily enter the

at night. Until short time ago he al

whom began to think him super

Til. BfUGRAPH FAD.
London Society Women Find New
and Novel Pastime.
The Moving Picture Machines Give
Them the Opportunity of Seeing
Themselves in Various Poses
as Others See Them.

Almost every day one seems to be
finding fresh sensations for society
to indulge in. The very latest fad in
London is to go to a biograph photo
graphic studio in Regent street and
there be taken in moving picture.
Half the smart women of London
have already been or intend to be
taken that way. There is a very real
istic group of Lady Grosvenor and
her daughters. They are all repre-
scented as sitting at an afternoon tea
table and are all dressed in dark
costumes. There are also separate
portraits of Lady Grosvenor and
Lady Shaftesbury. A most excellent
paQduction is u charming portrait of
Julia, Lady Tweeddale. wearing a
light dress, with a very large toque,
but perhaps the most attractive of
all is u set representing the children
of the duke and duchess of Cornwall
playing soldiers, with little flags and
other paraphernalia Of war.
BY the way people are having their
portraits taken more than ever. and
fashionable photographers are re,
joicing that they never were so busy
as now. Several well-known women,
such rs Mrs, farquharson. of lnycr-
cauld: Lady Musgrave and Lady Ed
monston, have their shildren's por.
traits taken every month and place
them in book entitled "Baby's Al.
bum" thereby enabling them to keep
record of the growth of their olive
branches.

-, - i Jeffries the Victor.

San Francisco, Cal, November 10.
in one of the most unsatisfactory
prize fights ever witnessed in the coun-
try, James J. Jeffries proved the vic
tor tonight over Gus Rubin. the
Akron giant, and thus emphasized
his right to the heavyweight cham
pionship title. In the fifth round of
what was to have been a twenty
round struggle, Rubin wilted and
then surrendered to his peer, to the
utter amazement and disgust OF the
assembled thousands. No one was
more surprised at the outcome than
Jeffries himself, who asserted that
while he had delivered one telling
blow in the second round. he did not
expect To win the victory SO easily.
Ruhlin's sole explanation of the
outcome of the fight is that he receiv-
ed IA chance blow which utterly dis
abled him, and that Jeffries persisted
in fighting him low. While Rubin
will make no absolute charge OF .lef
fries having committed n foul, he
intimates that he was unfairly handl-
ed, and injured as n result, Rubin
receives the support of his seconds,
who say that he was II hopeless ease

Two dashing America women,
twin sisters, of the ramr of Holland,
suddenly fell from nobody knows
where three months ago and captured
the American colony at Paris. They
were dressed Stunningly, and moved
from one fashionable hotel to another,
which latter circumstance, though
suspicious, was ascribed To their
originality.
Nobody could vouch for them, yet
they were so winsome. witty and en-
pertaining that they soon secured in
vitations everywhere. Then, on be-
coming known that they were experts
in the matters of feminine dress, they
were called upon to act as advisers to
many American women in the purchas-
ing of gowns, bonnetS and jewelry, I'M
til gradually. through social, gossips,
dressmakers and jewellers. they knew
absolutely every purchase made.

He Was Big Enough.

He wasn't very big, but he was a
sturdy little chap with face that
bore the marks of much thinking
and premature responsibility. l
learned afterward that he was sup
porting a crippled mother and an
invalid sister who had been left help

father. He might have run away
from home and evaded the response

At the loop on Fifteenth street a
crowd was gathered, waiting for the
evening cars. A ragged little girl
was selling flowers at the Fifteenth
street end Of the waiting station
when a man rushing to catch his eur,
knocked her against the side of the
building. Without stopping, prob
ably not having noticed what he had
done, he continued his rush, when
the boy stepped in front OF him, Jeff

The man paused in surpris'' and
then glanced around, He saw the
flower girl picking up her wares,
and understood. Without a mo.

her, gave her money enough to make
her eyes sparkle with JOY, and said;

to the boy, he continued:

Some years ago at Fort Sill, Indian
Territory, there was a government
scout, whose name was Thomson"
says Richard Harding Davis in Every
body's Magazine. HE furnished me
with story Of an incident which he
considered was the best illustration
Of the highest form of real courage.
An Indian agent had sent in word to
the post that the Indians near him
were on the point of an outbreak, and
that he believed they might sweep
down upon him at any moment. Thom-
son and boy lieutenant Just out from
West Point were detailed to ride over
to the agency and make an investiga-
ton. While they were seated on the
veranda of the agents house, and while
he was reciting his reasons for be-
lieving an uprising was imminent,
about two hundred Indians came gal
looping towards them across the prai-
rie. They were in war-paint and war;
bonnets, and they came yelling and
brandishing their Winchesters. The
Indian agent retreated to his second
story and concealed himself beneath
the bed. Thomson remained seated
with his feet against the rail Of the
porch, and calmly observed the ad-
vancing whiriwind of painted bodies,
eagles feathers, and f1uttering blank
cts. The boy from West Point initiated
Thomson. He knew that if on their
return to the post the famous Indian
fighter should give good account of
him to the old officers, his reputation
would be instantly and pleasantly
established. That was allowing, of
course, that they ever did return to
the post. So he kept his feet on the
railing and puffed at his cigar. The
Indians fell off their ponies in front
Of the scout, and their chief men began

4 Fish That
BUries Itself.

A fish of curious habits exists in New
Zealand which has apparently hitherto
escaped the notice of naturalists. The
fish is called by the Maoris the kaka-
val. 1t is generally discovered when a
man is digging out rabbits or making
post holes in the summer time, and it
lies at depth Of foot or two feet
under the soil. The character of the
soil. whether sandy or loamy, does not
seem to matter.
The fish is from two to three inches
long, silvery, shaped like a minnow,
but rather more slender and tapering.
It appears to be dead when exhumed,
and If dug up in summer and put into
water it dies at once. If, however, it
is brought to daylight in May, or
early June .(the end of autumn), when
the rains are beginning to make the

Disguised
Their Sex

Apropos of the discovery that Muir
ray Hall, the Tammany politician, for
thirty years known as a man, was in
reality woman, many interesting and
historic cases of similar masquerades
are recalled. One of the most notable
DISCUSSES of sex on record was that of
Chevalier D'Eon, who masqueraded
as woman while acting as diplomatic
agent for Louis XIV to the court of the
Empress of Russia. He was born in
Tonnerre, France, in 1928, and died in
1910.
