A friend of mine returning to camp
after a days shooting, says a writer
in Navy and Army. suddenly came in
sight of big she bear with two cubs
following in single file proceeding
along a ridge, the forms of the three
being sharply silhouetted against the
sky. 1t was very long shot, but he
determined to try ii, so drew n bead
on the old she bear and fired. The re-
suit was curious. The procession
stopped, the she bear scratched her
self hastily, then turned around and,
regarding the cub Immediately behind
with grave disapproval, boxed its
ears soundly and then went trundling
on along the ridge, evidently under
the impression that her frolicsome off.

Objectionable tricks.

OPERATION RARE IN SURGERY.
Six Stitches Taken in the Vertriele
of Heart by Surgeons.


New York. oct. 22.-One of the rar-
est operations known in surgery, the
sewing up of a severed ventricle in
a human heart, has been performed at
Bellevue hospital
The patient was Annie Kingsley,
who was stabbed by her husband dur
ing a quarrel on the street. She was
thought to be dying when the ambu-
lance reached the hospital. The blood
was pou ing from a long wound in the
left ventricle, which supplies the body
with blood, while the right pumps TO
the lungs. The surgeons knew the
flow must be checked at once if the
woman was to be saved.
The operation was decided upon. 1t
was performed by two surgeons with
fifteen more looking on. The heart
was laid bare and the surgeons saw
that the wound was very severe. II
would require six stitches. During
the intervals between the beats of the
heart the needle was inserted six
times and the flow of blood was stop.
ped.
The wound was carefully dressed
and the surgeons waited to see the re-
suit. The patient rallied rapidly and
the surgeons expressed the belief that
she will recover.

TRAVELLING DOCTORS,
Better to Keep SHY Of Tho Fellows That 90
Out Among The Farmers for Patients,

A few years ago the travelling doc
tors who ran about the country, often
going out into the rural districts to
lrlghten the afflicted were common
In the land, They were almost always
specialists, or represented some great
institute Of medicine employing the
best class of experts with headquar-
tcrs at considerable distance from
the seat OF operations, 1t was by no
means an uncommon trick for them
to go in pairs, One would go ahead,
inquire around in an Innocent sort Of
way till he located the sick, found
their ailments, discovered their SYM
toms and all about how they felt,
Then the expert would come along
and without asking any questions
would tell all about their pains, their
sickness and ahlictiOn, TO u man
ON his back and suffering, this was Il
marvel, and, weary with pain he was
apt to believe that If this doctor could
have Il power so mysterious us to be
able to diagnose his case so closely
without any questioning he could
surely understand the case well
enough to effect cure, When this
was backed up by such positive
claims the doctor was apt to get de-
poslt Of cash and note and contract
for treatment for term Of months.
However so many Of these fellows were
exposed that 1t damaged the business
for several years, But having given
the people rest and time to forget it
Is said this sort of fakirs are abroad
again. 1t Is true that some OF these
doctors do occasionally cure some
body There have been some in
stances In this town of persons who
have grown worse on the treatment
Of home doctors and bona tide spec
iallsts Of large cities and then have
been cured by some Of these insti-
tutes. Some Of them are apparently
equipped with good physicians, but
1t Is safe to say shat all Of this sort
stay at their offices in the cities and
do not travel about country drum

duces accidents on the railroads to Il

therein, and what an important fac
tor a tower is to the safe guidance OF

Is this u nation Of free men or Is
free speech, free press and free men
meaningless when applied to public
onlccr, Must a man accepting n posi-
tion in the public service consent to
be gagged while serving his country
An imperial ruler in the old country
may exact Of his subjects and officers
u dcfcrential respect and obedience
that will gag subordinates In every
branch of the public service, but In
q republic the independent citizen
Is not lost in the officer and no man
not excepting the president Is above
criticism.
But the administration at Wash

The correspondence between Gen
erNl Miles and Secretary Root relat-
ing to the repremand Of the Lleuten-
ant general by the president and his
war secretary, will be read by mil
lions Of American citizens. We can
trust the people to determine who
was right In that controversy. When
President Roosevelt was less than
four years old and his war secretary
was a pupil IN Il law school, General
Miles entered the volunteer service
and before Teddy was Sir General,
Miles was brigadier general, He
was promoted step by step for his
courage, his genius and ability. His
commission coming from President
Lincoln. He was severely wounded
three times. All the honor ever con-
ferred ON him was strictly won on his
merit as a soldier. The American
people are proud Of their lieutenant
general, lie will live in history as
the peer of the best Of all soldiers in
the republics of the western hemis-
phcrc, The memory Of his glorious
deeds will be in the minds Of men
centuries after the fourth rate petty
logger made Il war secretary in the
lottery Of politics has been forgotten
except for the infamy Of his conduct
in daring to reprcmand so great Il
man, and one whose record as mill

Whereas, 1t has pleased the Heay
enly Father to take from among Us
our friend and brother, Claburn NJ,
Duyal, be 1t,
Resolved, That we mourn his loss
as Il personal, because all who knew
him loved him as a friend and brother,
His friends were not confined to the
few who knew him intimately, but to
u larger circle than comes to the lot
of most men to know
He was frank in his condolences,
gentle in his nature, liberal in his
views and most enthusiastic In all his
undertakings. If he had any faults
they were few and so obscured by his
noble and generous nature that few
knew them. TO us he was the kindly
gentleman and devoted friend.
Resolved, That we extend to his
family our coincidence and the express
sion Of our sorrow; that a copy OF
this tribute be sent to the family OF
the deceased and the press OF the city,
and spread upon the records of this
order, and the lodge room be drapec
