VIRGINIA. HOT SPRINGS.

Two erroneous popular impressions have to be
corrected at the outset in setting forth the attrac
lions OF the Virginia Hot Springs as a summer re-
sort The first is that Southern State is neces-
sarlly excluded from the regions where 7,odo-ate
temperatures prevail in summer and the Second
Is the idea that GOODNESS is contradictory 10 the
term Hct Springs. As the first the question Of
temperature away from the sea. is one of alti-
tude and not OF latitude. and in regard TO the scr
end 1t is scarcely necessary say that the term
hot as applied TO the health giving springs of VIr
gina Is only relative one. and that il is in the
warn season that the greatest benefit IS often de-
rived from drinking the medicinal waters. ami
especially from bathing in them AT the natural
temperature

RIxEYs REPORT
Balletins Were Not at All Times in
Harmeny With Facts IS Noted
in the Presidents Room

WAsflNerON, Oct ~ ~ In the line
Il duty. while recelslag the peplple,
william Mckinney was shot by Leon
Czoleosz, is the official statement
slca with the Surgeon General Of the
Navy hy Doctor Presley NJ. Rixey
Medical Inspector, G. 5. n, as the
Introduction for his report upon the
woandlng, illness and death OF the
late President Mckinley.
The cause Of death is thus stated
.'Gangrene of both walls Of stomach
aud pancreas, following gunshot
wound
The report itself is remarkable for
is exhibition in 1.-THE closest possible
detail of the exact state Of the patient
during his ~aartal illness, 1t IS Ia the
shape of a ships log, almost, showing
at Intervals oi a very few minutes
sometimes a single minute, rarely
lnore than an hour the Presidents
pcogreSs toward the end.
But perhaps the most valuable data
contained. from a medical point Of
view, are the accurate registering Of
the medication Of the case-not sim
gle morSei Of food or a dose OF medi-
cine or a bath is omitted in this ac-
count. Included In the running story
at the proper intervals are the bulle-
tins which were given to the public as
the case progressed.
The report begins with an account
Of the first operation at the emergency
hospital, September G, the two wounds
being described exactly as they have
been treated in the preceding medical
reports.
DR.. Rixey, stating that all the ply
sicians present agreed to immedi-
ately perform laparotomy, makes his
first entry at $50 p. m, when DIR.
Mann made vertical incislon passing
through the wound and found at the
very beginning a piece Of cloth car
ried in BY the bullet. Eight minutes
later strychnine was administered
hypodermically. Some time after
that brandy was administered in the
same manner, and then morphine
likewise was administered. This same
Implication became necessary five min
utes after the patient arrived at the
Milburn house, the result being an
improved pulse, but slight nausea.
The first bulletin issued to the public
was dated at Up. N.
The report sheds a great deal OF
light on the treatment OF the Presi-
dent and shows that the bulletins
were not at all times In harmony with
the facts as noted in the sickroom.

NEVER was A BOY.

OF all the men the world has seen
Since time his rounds began,
There's one pity every day
Earth's first and foremost man:
Just think of all the fun he missed
By falling TO enjoy
The dear delights OF youth time.
For-he never was boy.
He never stubbed his naked toe
Against a root or stone,
He never with a pin hook fislled
For minn0ws all alone
He never sought the humble bee,
Among the daisies COY,
Nor felt its business end,
Because he never was a boy.
He never hockey played. nor tied
A bright and shining pail
Down in the alley ali alone,
To a trusting pOOdle's tail.
And when he home from swimming
came,
His pleasure to destroy
No slipper interfered
Because never was a boy.
He might remember splendid times
In Eden's bowers-yet
He never acted Romeo
To a six-year Juliet.
lie never sent a valentine
Intended to annoy
His good but maiden aunt,
Because he never was boy.
He never cut a kite string, no,
Nor hid an Easter egg.
lie never spoiled his pantalo0ns
Aplayln' mumhley-peg.
He never from the attic stole
A coon hunt to enjoy,
Nor found the ''old man" waiting,
For-he never was boy.
1 pity him, why should not:
/ even drop a tear;
lie never knew how much he missed
He never will, fear,
And always when those dear old day
Ny memories employ,
] pity him, earth's only man
| Who never was a boy.
