HIS BRAIN EXPOSED
A Patient With an Awful Wound Makes
Il

Escapes from Hospital.
FAYETTEVILLE, Sept. S.-Last night
Thomas Edge, patient in the Marsh
Highsmith Sanitarium on Green Street,
in this city, dressed himself in suit Of
clothes found in his ward and made his
escape unobserved through rear en-
trance on the first floor.
This is startling phase in q very re-
marllable case in surgery. Edge is a
farmer of Sampson county, who had his
gun to explode in his hands while he was
hunting squirrels a few days ago, an iron
piece of the breech Unfolding itself in
his forehead. In this condition he walked
some miles TO his homo and came across
country to the Fayetteville hospital. In
the removal of The obstruction a piece of
his cranium came with it, leaving a hole
in the upper part of the forehead through
which the throbhing brain can be seen.
Edge has since been talking nationally
and moving himself about easily and has
repeatedly urged the physicians to let
him go home, though assured that the
attempt would probably cost him his life
No trace has yet been found of him
since his escape.

Tn an Indianapolis Plan to Makes Lie
Sweeter.
The young women Of the lndianap-
oils telephone exchange are to be given
the benefits of voice culture. A prom
inent elocutionist has been engaged,
and all the sharp voices will be filed
down, and all the rough voices will be
planed off, and if there is any dignity
and sweetness in voice it will be
drawn to the surface. 1t is a nice
scheme. but it will take some time.
The average Hoosier voice is far from
being of the liquid velvet order. and
the Evolutionary improver will find his
hands full for some time to come. Of
course the hours for vocal practice will
have to be snatched from the regular
hours of duty, and the indianapolis
subscriber who calls up Exchange"
may be expected at any time to hear
somebody shrieking: 81 am not mad!
7 am not mad!" A good deal startled,
he will probably hastily remark:
Hello. central; you have given me
the insane asylum" And then the girl
will explain that she's only getting let
ter perfect in "The Maniac" And very
likely some other subscriber will be
told that the curfew shall not ring to-
night, and perhaps he'll vigorously ask
the curfew to ring off. And may be
an incensed patron Of the line who
earnestly inquiries what the girl means
by not answering his call will be told
to wake and call me early, call me
early. mother, dear" In short, there'u
be a good deal doing in that Indianap-
oils call shop before all the voices that
need it are cultured into proper vocal
shape.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
