SHE ESCAPED THE
KNIFE.
Ten Months Of Peace After
Dreadful Suffering.

Operations are becoming a fad; every
young man, as soon as he is graduated
from a medical college, considers MINI
self capable of undertaking the most
dangerous and complicated surgical
work, and hundreds Of lives are sacri-
feed annually to this mad frenzy of
incompetent men, to rush into work
which should only be undertaken as
a last resort, and then only by the
most experienced and careful sur
geons.
II is a pleasure, in view OF these
facts. to read the following letter from
a woman who has been saved from
one of these dangerous operations. Il
know l should have informed you long
ago regarding my case Of piles and

A great deal Of complaint Is heard
In Akron relative TO the scarcity of
country butter. This scarcity, the
dealers say. is caused by the low prices
charged for oleomargerine. aud that
a great amount of oloo is consumed in
this city. In explaining the scarcity
of country butter the dealers say that
1t is caused by the farmers selling
milk, Instead Of butter, because the
oleo competition doesn't affect tho milk
trade. 1t is also stated that creamery
butter remains at about the standard
price. because those able to afford
II have long been in the habit of ac,
oepting no other. The CreamerIes use
up a great deal Of the milk which
ordinarily would bo turned into coun,
try butter. Thus It will be seen that
the responsibility for the scarcity Of
country butter rests not as much with
the farmers as It does with the con-
sumers.

PECULIAR
And Very Costly
Murder Case
Has Required Ten Times
as Much Money
As Was Ever Spent In Another
Case In Massachusetts,.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 2.--Joseph f.
Blondin was brought into court Mon
day on the charge Of numbering his
wife, NJ. Emma Blondin. The trial
promises to develop one of the most
notable murder cases in Massachusetts,
The case before trial has cost the
state Of Massachusetts, ten times as
much money as has ever been spent
in criminal case before, and the cost
OF the trial will eclipse that of any 9th.
er tried in late years. A long, bit.
terly fought contest is looked for.
There are on both sides over hundred
witnesses, including a dozen from Can.
ada, among them Blondin's first wife
from whom 1t Is claimed, he never Sc.
cured a divorce, and who is expected
TO testify for the government
Blondin's counsel, the Hon. John II.
Morrison, of Lowell, Is confident OF
his clients acquittal, while Blondin
himself Is sure of it. hey will at
tempt to prove an alibi.
Circumstantial evidence comprises
the case Of the government. On June
10, 1901, the body Of a woman with the
head decapitated, was found in n wood
lot in Chelmsford. A few days later
the head was found in a small creek
about quarter mile distant.
The head and body were identified
as those of Mrs. Joseph Wilfred Blon.
din.
When the police sought out Blondin
he was not to be found. It was not
until Feb. %, Of this year, that he was
arrested in New York. 1t is claimed
that Mrs. Blondln was killed at AZ
Green ST., Boston, and that her body
was removed in a trunk. The trunk,
however, is one Of the mysteries OF
the case. SO far as known, II has nev.
or been found.

JOURNALISM
In Existence Almost
800 Years.
Big Celebration Being Planned
For 1905.

After a painstalsing and exhaustive
search, II Is said to have been ascer~
tained beyond n doubt that the printer,
Abraham VerhoeveE, of Antwerp, OBJ
tanned In 1905 from the Archduke and
Duchess Albert and Isabelle the priv
ilege of printing the first regular news
paper. Antwerp, therefore, claims the
distinction of having given birth to
the first newspaper editor.
Abraham Verhoeven published his
paper every eight or nine days, accord
ing to the supply Of news he received,
as the slowness with which 1t Travelled
and the absence of all competitors In
tho field enabled him TO take his time
and edit at his ease.
For long time the honor of having
produced the first newspaper has been
disputed by Italy, France, Germany,
England and Holland, and for years
the British museum exhibited paper
called the English Mercury, said to
have been printed in 1888, but which
proved to he II practical joke of Lord
HnrdwiCke. As the tlrst German pa
per only appeared in 1915, in Frank
fort; the first Dutch paper in 1917; the
first English paper, The Weekly Ga
aette, in 1922, and the first French pa
per in 1891, the priority OF Antwerp
in the field is asserted and sustained,
1t Is declared, by official documents.
shortly after the invention OF print,
ing, publishers from time to time Is,
sued placards giving some sensational
piece of news, but It was not until
Abraham Verhoeven thought Of max,
ing these publications Nt regular inter
walls that what Is properly termed q
newspaper was issued, and it has tn
ken 297 years for II to reach its pres
ent universal extent and influence.
In 1908 Antwerp intends TO celebrate
the 3OOth anniversary Of journalism II

IMMORTALITY

And Is It all OF life to live?
And all of death at last
When to earth our clay we give,
When DER II clay Is cast?
Aye, is It all of life to die?
And must we silent tend
Unto the tomb to satisfy
Existence at the end?
Is there no realm beyond the skies?
No haven In the west?
Wherein again the soul shall rise
To feel the calm of rest?
And must our souls go in the night
With anguish and with tears,
| Beyond the radiance of the light,
To sleep through endless years?
q soul of mine, Is 1t deCreed
That thou shalt wake no more,
The glorious universe TO heed,
Upon some brighter shore?
Shalt thou go from this aching form,
From out this feeble clay.
Upon the plnions of the storm,
To simply float away?
Nay, let me feel the joyous hope
And thrill with raptures touch,
TO know beyond earth's little scope
My soul shall live as such;
And living on through grander spheres
Beyond this mortal breath
Inspired thought-begOno my tears,
The soul lives after death.
