Wear. Duck Trousers at Her work.
Miss Sibyl Easterday OF San Fran
cisco deserves the laurels she grace
fully and modestly wears as q sculp-
tress. On the top floor Of an old Ave-
story building she has her studio.
There from sunrise to sunset she
works. The little studio Is her world.
and the figures her fingers have mold
ed into form are her companions. If
she cares particularly for any other
companionship she has never shown
1t. Occasionally she dons the garb Of
woman and goes up the street, but In
her workshop she wears light fan
mel shirt. duck trousers and low-cut,
shoes. On a farm near Niles in Ala
media county this girl was born. She
was strange child and seemed to
take particular delight In playing In
the mud. But she did not make mud
pies as did other children. Out Of
the mud with which she played she
fashioned all sorts of queer figures re-
sembling the animals and the persons

there was no mud she played indoors.
and her mother often was Mortified to
find the little girl had delved into the
butter tub to mold the butter into
shapes Of horses or cows, or boys and
girls. Later the child began to carve
figures out OF wood, and as she grew
older she developed decided ability
in painting and drawing. When the
first barrel Of plaster for casts was
brought into her studio and the white
powder left a trail along the floor.
when her tub of wet clay upset and
spoiled her skirt; Miss Easterday de-
termined upon a radical departure
that caused a great deal OF comment
at the time. The next day, when the
baker boy knocked at the studio. the
door was opened by young person
in duck trousers, flannel shirt. and
with long, fluffy. red-brown hair. This
young person had sculptor's knife
and wad of clay in one hand. and
the other was held out for the loaf
OF bread. The bakers boy gasped.
but the serious. earnest blue eyes OF
the girl showed no evidence OF un-
easiness.

BOLD PIECE OF SURGERY.
An Asphy Iisted Mans Heart Squeezed
to Restore Circulation.


A remarkable story is told In a
Danish medical periodical relative to
the treatment of patient who had be-
come asphyxiated from the administra-
ton OF chloroform. The operating
surgeon was a certain DR.. Mag, but
the method which he employed had
previously been suggested by DR.. Prus
Of Lemberg. A laborer, q years old,
who had suffered from sciatica, was to
be operated upon to relieve that trou-
BILE. Chloroform was given and the
operation begun. The patient strug-
gled, however. and when the process
Of anaesthesia was carried further he
stopped breathing. Several expedients
were resorted to in order to restore
respiration. but in vain. And there
was no longer any pulse. In this
emergency Dr. Mag opened the chest,
detached portions OF the third and
fourth ribs two and half inches long
and turned them back with the flap OF
flesh. Through the opening thus made
he thrust his hand. The heart was
firmly grasped and compressed rhyth-
mically. After a few squeezes the or
gan began to beat naturally. II was
necessary to employ compression again
at times, and also to initiate the lungs
artificially. But by these means the
patient was kept alive for eleven hours
and a half. and DR.. Mag Is inclined
to believe that the man would have re-
covered were 1t not that one of the
pleura was accidentally punctured.- -

the sunspot period. Auroral displays

pictures of the corona which have

Sunday morning before his sermon he
announced from the pulpit: THE

were working up the field near each

Missions Get Husbands.

Chinese missions are more in favor
with the women of the Flowery King

very good reason. In China, at the
best women receive very little consid-

come mothers of boys. But they do re-
ceive very marked consideration from
the mission schools which is well calcu-
lated to gain their favor and make

To Protect "L" Stations from Robbie


To capture the burglars who have
been robbing the stations, the South
Side Alley Electric Elevated road in
Chicago has devised scheme which
might be copied by the Brooklyn ele-
waited roads. whose stations, many OF
them guarded only by women, have
been held up repeatedly. An electric
button is placed on a level with the
high seat which the Chicago station
agent occupies, and a lower connec-
tion is made so that hand or foot, by
a slight movement can ring gong ON
the platform which can be heard a
mile. But the pushing Of the button
does other things. 1t rings similar

New York, November 13.-The market today was extremely irregular and there was material decliSe in the volume of trading The opening was strong with sharp advances in St. Paul, Union Pacific and Great Northern preferred sentiment being influenced by expectation of an of ficial statement today regarding the agreement reached between the roads of the Pacific Northwest. While ignored at first it exerted an influence as the day wore on and the afternoon dealings were marked by considerable weakness Tho speculation showed the effect of lib- eral realizing sales early in the week as well as some apprehension of higher money. Union Pacific received considera- Die support on rumors that the stocks were to be merged into holding com pany at a valuation considerably above the current market quotation. On the other hand St. Paul was sold by tired holders early in the afternoon. Metro politan early advanced per cent.

Cotton Letter.

Lee & Co.'S Cotton Letter to H. D. Goth
 ran & Co.
 New York, November 13.-There was a very irregular cotton market today. Early Liverpool cables proved disappoint- ing and prices declined sharply and easi- ly. January sold at TAI, but later in the morning smaller estimates at Houston and a partial recovery abroad steadied the market and January sold at 7.46. There seemed to be considerable demand for cotton on any decline and from the action of the market prices were not dis posed to go down very much. It looks very much as though the selling had created large short interest and it needs something very bearish to bring about another break. The short interest is large on severe decline and at time when receipts are falling off in way that makes some uncertainty about the immediate outlook. The Houston re- ceipts have declined to a point that more than offsets the receipts at other places and the weekly movement will compare unfavorably with last year or

COTTON MARKET

 Sensitive to Selling.
JANUARY GOES OFF TO TAI

New York, November 13.-The cotton market opened steady with prices points higher, to 4 points lower, and was whimsical all the forenoon in the ab- sence of bull or bear leadership or domi- mating innfiuence of either type. The room sold out cotton bought late yester- day during the first hour and this press ure, in conjunction with light bear sell ing and some offerings from abroad, sent the market off to TAI for January. Large receipts, disappointing English cables and tame speculative support made the market very sensitive to selling of any description. Soon after midday some of the more important bears became sus- picious that the short interest was over great for so small a market and that the long interest had been eliminated. A movement to cover started buying for scalpers account and checked selling by smaller longs. Prices responded readily and in mid afternoon January sold at 7.4s with other months correspondingly firm. Wall street and the South bought on the upturn, while conservatice room opera tors picked up a little cotton on the idea 
 that Liverpool tomorrow will show an improvement as a result of the smaller receipts. Late official advices from Southern spot markets denoted a firm undertone and well sustained prices. The close was steady with prices net points higher to points lower.
