One bag Of col was spent in Paris, but
three remained there with Doctor Chantry.
We had money; though the more valuable
treasure stayed in Mittau.
In the sloping hills and green vines OF
Champagne we were no longer harassed

our posting at Epernay. Taking the road
early next morning, I began to watch for
Plessy too soon, without forecasting that
was not to set foot within it's walls.

with a wooden cap. Delicious grass, and

Stood were not to be resisted, so sent the
carriage on. She looked open-mouthed
after Skenedonk, and bobbed her dutiful,
frightened courtesy at me. n 1s---

How the President Stood It.

How the President Stood 1t.
After the president entered the operat-
ing room he sat down on a stool and
waited for instructions from the physi-
clans and surgeons, watching their pre-
parations with keen interest.
II am awfully sorry that I cannot con-
tinue my western trip" said he.
The president was told to remove his
shoes and stockings and neither garments.
He also removed his coat and vest. A
moment later, however, he was told to
simply remove his shoes, and they would
be required to bare the leg only. This
was done.
The president walked to the operating
table alone. and as he lay down he re-
marked with a smile:
Gentlemen, you are formal. I see you
have your gloves on
This was reference to the antiseptic
gloves of the surgeons.
Mr.. President" said surgeon, with a
smile, lit is always in order to wear
gloves at presidents reception.
The operation began without delay. The
pain caused the president to 1nutter sew
eral times in a low voice, but he said
nothing that was distinct except to ask
for a glass of water before the needle
had been removed
After the operation was over, he made
several laughing remarks concerning triv-
ial matters, and asked if he would be al
lowed to use his leg long enough to walk
up stairs himself.
you will be hauled up stairs in a
wheeled ambulance said the surgeon.
When they brought the vehicle in, the
president said:
why, that's WheelbarroW."
After being taken to the upper room
from the operating room the president
was served with, a light luncheon and
chatted pleasantly to those in the room.

after undergoing slight and successful
operation for the removal Of an abscess
on the left leg, President Roosevelt left or

THE COURT HOUSE FUSS.
The Probability of the Injunction
Suit Being Dissolved.

Judge w. f. Stevens who is in the
city gave the Progress some points on
the controversy now going i'll regard
to the injunction suit filed to enjoin
the building of the C urt house and
loca ion of the county seat for the
first district at Augusta Depot. He
says the people of that section have
become greatly wrought up over the
matter and declare if another election
is held Augusta Depot will be carried
by a much larger majority than it
was at the last election. The people
Of old Augusta are SO confident that
the injunction will be dissolved or
that in case Of another election Au
gusta Depot will be successful that
they are going ahead luilding and
within next few weeks many
dwellings and othe' ouses will be
erected. 1t is his impression and
belief that the injunc ton will be dis
solved and that there will not be any
further trouble on that score.
1t is stated that the railroad COM
pany refuses to recognize Augusta
Depot as stopping place and refuses
to allow its trains to stop there to put
off lumber and other building mate
rial, hence the people at present are
put to a great inconvenience to get
material with which to build houses.
But Judge Stevens thinks this will be
remedied soon and that the trains
will either stop voluntarily or be
forced TO do So
Judge Stevens, who it is under
stood, is employed in the suit, is very
hopeful of an early settlement in the
matter, having been on the ground
for the purpose of making an investi-
cation, and he believes further that
The settlement will be aimcable to all
parties.
