An Unexpected Result.

ing the general election. After hear
ing the speeches of the candidate and
his supporters an aged conservative
from Wolverton mounted the plat
form and caused some mystery by dra-
nsticaly holding alott a walnut,
when ne proceeded to say:
"This is q political walnut. Tho
rough shell represents the radicals;
che next, the thin, bitter skin, IS the
liberals, and She kernel represents
the good conservative"
A man n the audience cried out:
"Now crack it."

4 Christmas Of Long Ago.

OF 3 Christmas Of lorg aso.
When the air was tilled with Cladne5a,
And the earth wss wrapped il snow.
When the stars like dismoods gtisteued
And the night Was crisp sad cold,
As esgerly watched ana i.steHe|
For the Santa c aus Of Ole.
The forest wss robbed cf its treasures,
The house was mass II green,
And I reyele6 il Christmas pleasures,
At the dawn Of Aurora's sEeea;
Some tsIk ed Of the Sav;cr's mission,
But OF NY pretty toys;
Some knelt in devout petition
ronped and played with the boys.
We went to the pend for skating,
To the stable to take ride,
And We found new joys awa.tirg
TO Whatever spot be hied;
But the climax Of my stcry
Was that evenings fireworks show.
Went out in blaze Q, giory-
That Christmas OF long ago.
But in sadness think Of that Christmas,
For many then hap?y and GaT
Have gone to the resin Of silence
And sleep IL their beds Of clay;
The hands that filed kindly ny ocEings,
shall grasp n this world no no.e.
But when 81 Heavens portals I'm lnockin
They'll open the besctifuL door.
They will lead me in tenderness cling!ng,
And place me before the throne,
Where the choirs sngelc are singing
And the hesvenly gifts are streWn
And there in the resln Of glory,
With ny loved ones al ny side,
III repest the old Bethlehem story
And join in that Christmas tide.

THREE JOINTS.

Minus three Joints Of his backbone.
John KaIler, Of No. 80 Wnloughby
street, Brooklyn, n. z, lies on cot
IN St. Johns Hospital, Long Island
City, making a brave fight against
death. The missing pieces Of his spinal
column were removed on Thursday
last by five surgeons. It was an opera
ton almost unparalleled in surgery,
but It was his only chance for life.
KaIIer has been a telephone Enenan.
Recently he was sent to repair wires
along the Shore Road, in Astoria

Of a pole near the Woolsey estate. Just
how it happened neither Kaller nor any

man found himself in the clutches OF
an electric current He had grasped q

ture and pufes Of smoke arose from his
burning hands.
The man kept his senses. Hanging
there, burning and in terrible pain, he
Esalized that to remain IN contact with
the wire for but few seconds more
meant death to him.
With strength born Of that nowl-
edge kaller tore himself free from the
live wire on which he had fallen and
delibe-a tely threw himself to the road
way. He fell S. feet and struck upon
his head and back. He was taken to
St. Johns Hospital, and doctors worked
over him for eight hours before the
dangers from the electric shock were
removed. Then they performed tho
operation,
In falling Kaller had broken his back.
The seventh. eighth and ninth yerte-
brae were badly fractured, and splin-
tiers Of the broken bone pressed on the
spinal cord. The pressure had produced
paralysis, and would have caused death

DR.. John Francis 'B0rus was In

were Dr.. II. a. McGronen, DR.. J. j
Mulcahey, Dr.. Thomas Cassidy and DR..
John F. Farwell. Technically, the doc
tors took out the spinous processes ana
transverse sections Of the seventh,
eighth and ninth vertebrae. The oper-
alton was successful.
