Che Bairpin in Surgery.

The tlairpin as surgical instru-
ment is treated quite seriously by
a physician who, writing in a
technical journal, names fifteen
different ways in which it may be
used in an emergency to ease pain
or even to save life. For example,
it might serve as probe, as a
surgical needle, in place of q drain
age tube, to remove foreign bodies,
to compress a blood vessel or to
close wound.

Che Pbsnix Of Hrabia.

In olden times bird called a
.'sphenix'' was thought to live in
the deserts of Arabia. His lease
of life was said to be 500 years, at
the end of which time he built-a
nest of spices and famed it into a
fame with his wings. The flame
reduced the bird to ashes, out of
which he sprung to live another
500 years. Richardson says that
he had fifty ori6ces in his beak,
through which he sung melodious
airs. Elk.

and noble, still he appears to have
pleased himself in what he did.
In this instance it was less selfish,
however, to refrain from giving
than to give. Selfshness, like
inquisitiveness, is not necessarily
bad; quite the contrary. Upon it
are founded energy, ambition,
pride and self-respect.

A Modern Bank Story.

The directors of the bank are
very moody and morose over the
hold up and SO is the cashier, for
didn't Bobby tell him how to
prevent it? Atl6ast the kid told the
driver to "give the horses one al
mighty cut an drive for town, an
don't stop till we get there-see!'
The driver laughed, but this was
only the kids advice if anything
were to happen. When something
did happen, Bobby disappeared.
Everything looks black at the bank
when suddenly the door flies open
and Bobby drives the bold, bad
robbers money, pistols, white hat,
biceps and all before the wonder
ing gaze of the bank people. The
illustration of this act in the
comedy is very realistic. The white
hat robber carries the grip full of
plumber and looks very woe-begone;
the other fellow protests emphat-
ically. but Bobby, with revolver
at full cock and his face pea
green yellow grimly holds them
at his mercy.
cts all there" he said. II
caught 'em fore they got it open.
An I guess I'll sit down." No
wonder poor boy! After holding
that big pistol at arms length for
over two hours he ought to have
wanted to lie down. The kid was
wounded, shot through the body,
and besides one of the robbers was
his father. It takes a good deal Of
nerve for small boy to hold up
his father The fear of spanking
would have awed some youngsters
into whimpering, but Bobby, how
ever, was made of sterner stuff.
| "There wasn't but two Of EN- an
the other one was scared cold, so I
just give him one to pick up the
satchel and march an he didn't
/ wait for the count neither. An
dad knew when he was licked, foo.
Say, thcy was easy, wasn't theyY
Sure Bobby boy, very easy, es-
pecially your dad. Poor old man
to be bulldozed by his little Bobby
boy; but then -Bobby's father was
not redheaded.
The tale is in narrative form;
one of the bank clerks is the mar
rator and does not seem to notice
the absurd position his confessions
put him in. Now in the wagon
there were three men, to say moth
ing of Bobby, These three men
were armed, and yet succumbed to
one armed mantle man with the
white hat and biceps was busy
with the horses. How humiliat-
ling it must have been for these
bank employees to realize that
they had been conquered by bold,
bad robbers who afterward sur
rendered to brave, redheaded Bob
by. They should have been drum
med out of town. Bobby gets his
reward; the directors give him
permanent employment and he
becomes the hero of the country
town.
1t is to be hoped that this rot
] will not induce little reiheaded
boys to travel in box cars looking
for country banks in need of guard
ian angels. They may not be SO
fortunate as s;'The Redheaded Kid. :"

.UR REDHEADED Kid, .


lUR REDHEADED Kid, .
JsN is the title of an exagger-
lI7rT7TI ated "bank story" by
illUEl Frederick Walworth in the
500 July McClure's. 1t deals
IT with a crisis in the affairs
sleeeel of country bank and tells
how the redheaded infant terrible
saved the bank from ruin. The
stale is a tTifle warm for sultry
weather, bat perhaps the heat was
the authors inspiration.
"Bob," the kid, turns up at the
bank during the rush of work i'm
mediately after the Fourth OF July
and tells the cashier he is 'slookin'
for a Job He wanted the job SO
bad he climbed in at the window, for
he made his appearance after bank
ing hours. He is snubbed by the
sautocrat of the bank notes, but that
sort of thing does not affect Bob;
he hangs around until he is driven
out when the bank employees lock
up for the night and then camps
out on the bank steps until morn
ing. When daylight comes one of
the clerks finds Bob persistently
holding down the banks steps. The
kid gets quarter for his tenacity
and is sent to fill up.
Now this is all tommyrot. Bob
ecame to town in a box car, and kids
that do that sort of thing don't
sleep on cold stones; they hunt up
"a good warm place in somebody's
hayloft. Night police are too
.solicitous of the health of little
boys to permit them to run the
risk of colds, ETC., by warming the
ccold side of stone step.
Bob stayed at the bank, however,
aand was permitted to run errands,
allowed to make himself useful,
and luxuriate on a salary Of two
dollars per week. The bank di-
rectors knew nothing of his ex-
istence as yet, or perhaps they would
have given him raise, but they
were soon to be made forcibly aware
sof the treasure they had so long
possessed. Things go wrong with
the bank; the depositors get wind
aof the trouble and start "run. .
The bank holds out the first day
but unless help can be secured from
a friendly financial institution
some miles away, it will go to
the wall. The cashier and one
@of the clerks arm themselves with
pistols and behind a fast team
sstart after more funds, but they
don't lose Bob-he is right there
in .tae wagon with them. They
get the funds and start on the
return trip in safety, but as they
near home the inevitable happens
they are held up. The hold up
Ms done in the orthodox manner;
they surrender, but not Bob. he
educks and disappears in a mys
.terious manner.
The illustration of the hold up
as fine drawing, but the artist
has sacrificed everything to good
form and has introduced white
horse into this redheaded boy tale.
Cone of the bold, bad robbers
clutches the bride rein of the
plunging off horse with one hand,
while in the other he holds an
enormous revolver Of an antigua

and the business end of his weapon
gpoints straight at the ground. He

A Reply to SlOVso.

by the laws of nature and has not
freedom Of will" This is contro-
verted. The writer is inclined to
think there is something in it.
Certain it is that man is governed
to limited extent by the laws Of
nature. We will here maintain that
| he does not and cannot exercise
his will to the extent of being un-
selfish. Slowgo, in his paper a
few weeks ago, tried to prove that
absolute unselfishness exists. He
arranged his ideas under the heads
Of motives: I. Purely Selfish; II.
Mixed; III. Purely Unselfsh. I
should classify them as degrees:
I. Noble; II. Good, True, Beauti-
fnl, and so on indefinitely.
Let us look into the case in
stanced by Slowgo. A father de-
tects his son in crime; he loves the
son; his only thought is that it is
his duty to hand him over to JUS
tice, and he does so, breaking the
heart of his wife and daughter,
staining the family name, brand
ing the son criminal and causing
him years of suffering and ex-
IRENE discomfort. The fathers only
calculations, says Slowgo, were of
duty. But what is duty / would
ask? Man is reasoning being;1
The has foundation for his acts.
IL you had asked that man for a
definition Of duty, he very prob
ably would have said: DUTY is
something we owe to God and
mankind; if you neglect it you
will be punished, if not here, then
hereafter He may not have
thought of this at the time; to do
his duty may have been natural to
him from long practice. But this
is highly improbable in so serious
case. He would more likely have
said, "What shall I do?' Chats
what asked a couple Of years ago
"a voice replied. Ten I'm
doing it YETI
| However, this man had REASON,
foundation, for doing his duty,
and it was selfish. It must have
rested upon higher things, else
how could he have such stern ideas
of duty? 1t appears to us that he
was playing into his own hands.
Slowgo says that he believed i'm
prisonment would be of no benefit
to his son, therefore he was doing
society no good by his action; it
was against the wish of his wife
and daughter, and we cannot see |
whose interest he was looking to |
| il not his own. Some persons
would say he was doing himself q |
harm, but that's as one looks at it.
The man must have believed that |
the greater and more lasting good
Ito himself was to be found in the
course he adopted. We would
reason that inasmuch as he was
not benefting society, his son, his
family or himself by his action it
was opposed to duty. You might
reply that the son had broken the
law; that society demanded its
vindication and that the father
had no right to pass judgment.
This sounds we'll enough, but
proves nothing.
The way we see this, and every
other case, is this: There must be
more satisfaction than dissatisfac-
ton, else it would not be SO. This
is only applicable before the fact
or act and may be applied to many
cases of compulsion, but not all.
A man may dislike ever SO much to
do thing, and yet do it, but
always with the belief that to do it
will ultimately further his interest
or pleasure. After the fact he may
have headache. Z
