.nR CHAFFEE raped briskly on
the side door and drew the
collar of his fur coat higher to shut
out the sharp north wind. Inside the
house there was a moments confusion,
and then Mrs. Green, assisted by six
little Greens, opened the door.
''Why, doctorl" she cried, In sur
prise. The little Greens lined up and
held their mouths open.
THE teacher is here, sick" DIR.
Chaffee announced the fact deliberate
ly. He stepped into the hall, holding
his medicine case in one hand, while,
with the other he made an opening in
the line of little Greens.
Mrs. Green closed the door and
protested. Teachers here, but she

She's always aiIin'," in a disparaging
voice. "Did she send fer your"
The doctoRignored her question. He
threw off his fur cap and coat, picked
up his medicine case again, and asked,
calmly: where Is she?r
"In the sittin' room" replied Mrs.
Green, her arms alimbo. Instantly six
small voices cried: ain here" and the
noisy troop made dash for the weary
looking figure lying on the couch near
the stove.
DR.. Chaffee paid no attention to the
figure on the couch. He blocked the
entrance against Mrs. Green, and said,
firmly: ''Come, children, I'm here to
visit the sick, only"
The Greens, unused TO obeying,
looked sulky.

strong, cheerful voice; and as they
filed slowly past him, casting longing
glances behind, he added "Now, don't

Then he closed the door and drew a

Bald-headed people who have not,

TO Casciana, in north Italy. to test
the virtue of its waters, which are re-
puted to be natural hair restorers,
equally capable of restoring hair to
the bald and plumage TO naked birds.
There is tradition that in the elev-
enth century the pet blacIlbird of
Countess Matilda had lost all its feath-
ers, but recovered its plumage
after bathing in the marshes of Cas-
ciana. The birds example was fol-
lowed by the ladies Of the court, whose
hair was greatly increased in quantity
and beauty, and whose bodies became
stronger and more youthful. Perhaps.
however, within reasonable time we
will be able to enjoy the benefits of the
Casciana waters without the Ione

The AMERICAN QUEEN.

She seeks her garden In the morn.
And plans and delves with care;
A Bingham bonnet crowns her head
An6 hides her golden hair
she's not afraid TO soil her hands;
She's busy as a bee:
The spade she hanG1es with much skill;
The oOsen OF Spades IL she.
And later on the links she's found,
With skirt TO match her hose;
Just note the color of her cheeks.
And watch her graceful pose
The caddy hands her out her club
And then he makes the tee;
She drives. and you conclude at once
The Queen OF Clubs Is She
The afternoon will find her out
To see game of ball:
She knows the fine plays when they're
made
And does applaud them ell.

win,
And claps her hands with glee;
You cannot lose heron the field
A Diamond Queen is she.
AT night you see her at the dance,
Bewudering and sweet,

DO homage at her feet:
she smiles, and all the world smiles, too

With one accord we DO proclaim.

n stomach pump. This, Stryzewsld
says, hurt him good deal
Then the anaesthetic was admins
tered and he was oblivious of his sur
roundings until the middle of the aft
ernoon, though he entered the operat-
ing-room at half past ten a. m. The
operation itself, however, took only a
little more than two hours.
The diseased portion of the stom-
ach was severed from the una ffected
part, and the membraneous walls were
then sewed together. 1t required
, about 100 stitches to sew the walls of
the stomach. The other organs were
rearranged and the hole closed in the
wall of the abdomen.
Then followed the weary and al
most hopeless struggle for life. The
patient rallied from the shock Of the
double wound, but on account of the
enforced idleness of the ordinary di-
gestive organs, his life hung by a
thread.
For three weeks not morsel OF
food, liquid or solid, entered the mouth
or stomach. The patient was kept
alive by injections of liquid nourish-
ment and stimulants.
The wound caused thirst, but hewa
absolutely refused water, as a drink
of water, the physicians said, would
be almost instantly fatal. His thirst
almost erazed him, but he kept be-
fore him all the tire that if he struc-
gled on and bore tAe suffering, he
might live, and life was so dear to him.
and the thought of leaving his wife
and boys without protector so bit
' ter, that ne gritted his teeth aud GRIM
ly fought on.
At the end of three weeks he was
! allowed the first nourishment-a lit
! tie milk. Gradually he was placed on
! milk diet, aud the crucial period
having been passed with the assimila-
ton Of the tactical fluid, ne ate soups.
Now he is permitted 20 eat prac-
ticaliy everything that goes to make
up the bill of fare in households.
Pastry, of course, he avoids.
He Is getting stronger all the time
walks about ana sits in the sun and
reads. At present he weighs more
than he did before the operation, and
has the appearance simply of man
who is recovering from an illness, with
no suggestion of death or decline. He
expects that he viii be able to resume
his daily employment in a month.
! The operating surgeons say that the
portion of the stomach affected by the
cancer and removed was at least on e.
third OF the whole organ. The opera
ton is believed 20 be the first of the
kind in Wisconsin.

Ten years ago Stryzewsh was ro-

the local factories, and so steadily did
he labor that he was enabled to accu-

home for his wife and two sons, and
also to lay up sum for q rainy
day.
About five years ago he began to
have trouble with his stomach, and
his health began to fail. 1t was sup
posed that he had catarrh of the
stomach, and he was dosed and treat
ed for that silment. But all proved
unavailing. He became emaciated,
and was unable to perform his daily
labor.
His ailment was finally diagnosed as
cancer of the stomach, and he was in
formed that bis case was hopeless.
But Stryzewsh is far from a cow

perish of starvation, he would die of
