PETER HI WILD BOY.
He Was susht In a Tree In a German
Forest In 1928 and Taken
20 England.

Peter, the Wild Boy, who was
brought to England, was found in
1925. in the woods Of IIamelin, 2s
miles from Hanover. walking on his
hands and feet, climbing up trees
like n squirrel, and feeding upon
grass and moss of trees.
Being presented to the king while
at dinner, his majesty made him
taste of all the dishes that were
served up at the table, and, in order
to bring him by degrees to human
diet, commanded that he should have
such provisions as he might like
best. He was at that time Judged
to be about II or 10 years old.
Aftcrward he made his escape into
the same woods, but was again
caught on Il tree, which was obliged
to be first sawed down.
He WGs brought TO England in
April. li2r. and again Introduced into
the presence of his majesty and
many of the nobility. lie could not
speak, and scarce seemed to have n
idea of things.
However. il was observed that he
took most notice of his majesty, and
of III" princess, giving him her glove,
which he tried to put on his own
hand, and seemed much pleased, as
he was with n gold watch which was
held to tick at his ear.
At first he appeared uneasy to
wear any clothes, and he could not
be brought to lie upon "A bed, but
sat in n corner of the room; whence
it is coniectured that he used to sleep
on a tree for security against wild
beasts. However, he walked upright,
and even sat for his picture.

MAYDCLE'S HAMMER.
(Benson's Plaster Is Pains MASTERY

When Maydole was told that he made "a
pretty good hammer" he said, mo, l don't
make a pretty good hammer ! make the
best hammer that ever trds made"
Every carpenter who saw q Maydole ham
mel wanted one. It was Of the best ma
%teEial, perfectly balanced, and the head
never few of. Hammers were divided into
two classcs-lst, Maydole's; I'd, all The rest.
Plasters are separated by the same line
Of cleavage; LIST, Beusun's Porous Plaster ;
I'd, all the rest. When, for rheumatic pain,
a cold, a cough, kidney trouble or any
other disease or ailment that may be treated
externally, you ask for q plaster, any hon
est, reputable druggist will give you q Ben
sons. He kn0rs it is incomparably the
best, and he assumes that you know It too.
As the name of Maydole stood for hammers
the name of Benson stands for plasters-
the ''real thing" All the medicinal poten-
cies that are valuable in a plaster are in
Benson's. Capsicum, Strengthening and
Belladonna plasters are out of date.

MUCH OF LITTLE.
A oasss sign That May He Sses Not
Many Miles from Lon

The stranger in any city half a hun
dred years old. il he knew anything
of the city's history, would learn
from many of the signs that the sec
ond and third generations had sue
cceded Il the business of father and
grandfather. 1t is especially true. of
New York. The New York Times men
tions some peculiar signs, and re-
lates the following, which we take
TO be true, although we do not vouch
for it:
A Londoner, who had strolled about
the streets of the city with n New
Yorker who called his attention to
some of the signs Of sons, agreed
that in this respect New York was
very like London, but in neither city
was there any such sign as he saw
in one of the old Engnsh towns n few
hours run from the worlds metropo-
lis. The sign reads:
JOHN LITTLEJoHN'S SONS AND LIT
TIE GITTLE LITTLEJOHN. DOO-
LITTLE LITTLEJOHN AND
JOHN LITTLE.
According to the Londoner, the first
Littlejohn and Little were partners.
the former gave his first son his
partners family name, and Little gave
his boy his partners Christian name
Littlejohn's second son was named
for his mothers family, Doolittle
The three sons succeeded to their IA
Tiers business, hence the sign is en-
tirely correct, and the Londoner was
right in saying that the successor'
had no irsention OF being funny

KAISER'S NEW YACHT.
Has Been Ordered In America and He
Is Taking Great Interest In
Most Minute Details,

The kaiser, having now ordered q
new racing yacht in the United States,
takes the utmost interest in all the de-
tails concerning its progress, says the
Berlin correspondent of the New York
Herald.
His majesty is firmly convinced that
the Americans build the fastest sail
ing boats. -
It is known that whenever the KieI
regatta has been discussed the en-
peror has usually let out the sugges-
ton that Americans with yachts would
always be welcome there.
He would like to see feet of Amer
lean yachts appearing at the Kiel re-
gatta this coming season, thus adding
Importance to the meeting and show
ing his rich German Subjects what
they might do with their money in the
way of identifying water palaces. for
his majesty is constantly melting his
richer people to buy boats and thus
stimulate the sailors profession, from
which to recruit in time of need for
his navy.

A NEEDLE IN HEART.
Ok Which Lived with Its Vital Or
gan Pierced Through.
Medical Experts Marvel At Discovery
Made on the Killing of the AMI
maI-Condition Was Deemed
Impossible.

Medical science of Chicago is as
tonished over the discovery of a
needle in the heart of an OK killed
at Swift G. Co.'S packing house. 1t is
the first foreign substance ever
known to have found place in the
heart of living animal. The needle
had been there for at least seven
months, according to the statement
of local physicians, before it was dis
covered. The animal seemed to en-
joy the best of health at the slime
he was led to the slaughtering pen.
The organ with the needle embed
ded in the muscles is sow in the pos
session of local medical college. 1t
is to be taken before the Cook Coun-
ty Medical association for special OK
animal ton and discussion. 1t has been
photographed and eastern colleges
and associations have requested that
il be sent to them for further investi-
cation and study.
When the discovery was made sew
eral days ago the heart was taken
directly TO DIR. Frances Dickinson,
and she examined it, in company with
Dr. Evans, pathological expert of the
Cook county hospital, II was then
placed in alcohol, and since has been
regarded as the greatest curiosity
OF the age among medical men.
The needle, after having worked
its way through the animals flesh"
said DIR. Dickinson, entered the heart
at the top near the aorta. Ii evident.
ly travelled through the muscular
part of the heart the entire length
to where ID was found embedded near
the bottom. The tissues about the
heart were hardened and incrustcd,
showing that il had been stuck there
for many months The fact that The
needle worked its way through the
heart by remaining in the muscles
saved the OK from death. 1t is n re-
markahlc discovery and probably the
only one of the kind on record"

complete recovery of Mrs. Potter from
cancer which was cured by the X-raS
treatment.
Last July the physicians who had
been treating Mrs. Potter told her
that, without painful operation. she
would have no chance for recovery.
and that even then it was only ques'
ton of prologing her life for few
years. DIR. John +. Gilman. who has

that it will be from Is to 20 per cent.
less than that of last year and. with

however, an optimistic view being
that the crop will equal or exceed that
Of last season. F.Q. Storey, president

Minister Wu and all the members
of the legation were at the station
to bid Mrs. WI and her young
charges welcome. As they were as.
sisted from the train everybody tried
to talk at once, except the imper-
turbable minister himself, who, after
singing out his wife and affection
ately greeting her, stepped to one
side and shook hands one by one
with the young women who accom-

looking out Tor comfort her
mother. The daughter will be

dinner and dance in the near future.
When Miss Wu-and the members of
her mothers suite are introduced
formally to society it is expected
that the affair will even exceed the
magnificent functions usually given
at the legation. This is the first time
in the history of the Chinese legation
that young Chinese women of high
caste have ever been brought to this
country for the purpose of entering
society.
