PRESIDENT A GOOD PATIENT
SO Declares Sister Mary of the
St. Vincent Hospital.

Sister Mary, who was in charge of
the room at st. Vincents hospital, in
indianapolis, where President Roose-
welt was operated upon, declares that
the president was good patient and
that he bore the excruciating pain of
the operation without complaining. He
seemed interested in the operation,
much as he would have been had it
been performed on an acquaintance.
In speaking of the operation and the
behavior CT the patient Sister Mary
said:
The president was courageous in his
bearing and eyinced no sign of the
piercing pain he must have endured.
During the operation he spoke to me
several times, and upon one occasion
when / dropped a bandage accidental
ly upon his breast and it rolled to the
table beside his left hand, he picked it
up and returned it, remarking, I'm
pretty much of a nuisance"

DR.. R. n. STEWART,
THE NIMBLE PENNY.
Millions of the Little Pieces Being Coined
by the Government.

1t hasn't been a great while since
our copper one-cent piece, popularity
but enormously called a penny, was a
despised coin. Nobody wanted to be
bothered with it, because of its insig-
nifcant value. 1t was not uncommon
for men to flip their pennies into the
gutter rather than be annoyed with
them in their pockets. The purchas-
ing power of the penny, taken by it,
self, was practically nil, and all prices
were in even multiples of the dollar.
The q cents, 40 cents and SO cents
prices of the present day were un-
known. Nobody seemed to care for or
cater to the one-cent trade.
Now, however, the formerly despis'
ed penny has become the nimble pen
ny. A treasury report made public a
short while ago showed that millions
of the little being coined ev-
cry year, and that the demand for
them is increasing. Pennies are no
longer Tipped into the gutter, but are
as carefully preserved as nickels ever
were. The manufacturers, the meF-
chants and the people have learned
how TO use and appreciate them. Be-
sides the odd-cent prices, which are In
general use pretty much everywhere,
there is now a distinct reaching out
for the penny trade. Certain articles
are especially packed or designed to
be sold at retail for one cent.

New Use for Refined paratfine Wax.

A new and important use for refined
paraffine wax seems to have been dis
covered by prominent resident of
Ohio, living near Lancaster, who had
two trees badly damaged by storm,
one being a maple and the other an
apple. In each case large limb was
broken down from the trunk. but still
attached to it. The limbs were propp-
ed up and fastened securely with
straps, very much as a broken leg
might be fastened with splints, and
then melted refined wax poured into
and over the cracks. The surgical
operation" was entirely successful.
The paraffine prevented the escape OF
the sap, kept out the rain and moisture,
which would have rotted the trees,
prevented the depredations of insects,
and the limbs seem thus far to be per
fectIy re attached to the trees.

RATHER WAS In A LOG.
Negro Died When He Learned
What Had Bitten Him.

A negro man in Screvcn county
went possum hunting one night last
week, and when his dog freed some
thing in d hollow log he ran his hand
in the hole to pull out the supposed
'possum; but something bit him on the
hand, and afraid to tackle it again he
gave up the hunt and went home. His
hand had swollen so badly by the next
morning that some of his neighbors
went with him to the place and cut
open the log, when they found large
ratJlesnake within.
The negro, when he saw what it was
that had bitten him, went into convul-
siOns and died several hours after
wards. 1t is not thought that the bite
would have killed him if be had not
discovered that it was that of rattle.

Child's Body Stayed in Steam
boat Baggageroom 8 Years.

Bayard Wright, local agent for the
Weems Steamboat Company at Kappa
hammock, Va, has discovered a skele-
to1 in trunk which had been stored
in the company's warehouse for about
eight years. The skeleton was APP
parently that of child II years old.
Some tattered clothing hung around
the remains. The trunk was rather
more than medium size, and the body

it inside. The trunk and contents
were thrown into the river and were
carried down stream by the tide.
There was no name or address of any
kind on the trunk. MIR. Wright says
it was brought there on one OF the
Weems steamers.

SHORT CROPS CAUSES ALARM
British Mill Owners Will Try to
Raise Cotton i'm Africa.

A London dispatch says it is report
ed that the government is assisting
with money and advice a movement
started by the Lancashire cotton
spInners to obtain raw material from
British territories.
Hitherto five-sixths of the cotton
used has been obtained from the Unit
ed States. Partial failure of the crops
for three years and speculative manip-
ulation of prices have produced an
alarming shortage.
The English manufactures have con-
sequently formed the British cotton
growing association. Colonial Secre.
tary Chamberlain and the colonial
governors are going to help the move
ment.
The chairman of the association
says that steps are being taken to i'm
prove the quality and increase the
output of Indian cotton. Efforts to
raise cotton will be made in the Sou

The chief hopes of the association
are centered in west Africa, which is
capable of supplying 100000 bales
annually, which is all that the Lauca-
shire spinners require. Cotton seed
have been sent to the Gold Coast Sierra
Leone, Lagos and southern Nigeria.
Prizes are offered to The native chiefs
in Lagos for growing cotton and for
cotton grown in that country.

IMPROVING THE NATURAL EYE
Turkish Custom is Said to be Spread ing Among Occidental Women.

It is difficult to conceive anything wo- men will not do to be in the fashion. A singular story is told about the shape of the eyes of Mme Hading, the French actress, which are very remarkable. They are of the dearest and purest brown, like that of mountain brooks or wave-wash- ed onyx, and yelled with a thick fringe or black and silky lashes.
 But this is not all. Her eyes are unus- ually and extraordinarily long and this length is due to artificial means.
 It is a custom among the Turks to lengthen the eyes by cutting the corners. This is done very early, at the age of or years. the outer corners being deftly slit with a lancet about the twelfth part of an inch.
 While the wound is healing the lids are drawn outward every day and when 1t is quite cured the eye Is still sub mitted to the drawing process every day for a long time, with the result that 1t becomes long and narrow.
 The story about Mime Hading procee Is to declare that her father was in Fur key and saw the practice and determined to try it on his little girl, then about 3 years old. Whether the story Is true or not, one thing is certain, the admirers of the actress declare she has the most beautiful eyes on the stage.

 The game spread to all parts of Louis jana, of the South and, finally, of the country, and became distinctively the gambling game of the negroes although the whites have occasionally played it.
