TWIN SISTERS IN PAIN

Surgeons Operate on the One, Who Feels
Nothing, But Her Conscious "Other
Half" Suffers Pain.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. 11.-Mrs. Emma
Hax Smith and Mrs. Bertha Hax Free
man, OF this city, We're twins. They looked
alike, they had identical dispositions,
tastes, inclinations. AS they SHARED each
ed physical pain, the other seemed to
share it. AS young girls, they We're insep-
arabic; as married women, they lived near
each other.
Mrs. Smith fell ill recently, and her
physicians We're puzzled to find that Mrs.
Freeman exhibited the same symptoms,
but was entirely free from their cause.

operation was performed, without the
slightest pain to her.
1t was Mrs: Freeman who suffered. She
knew her twin was under the knife; no
anaesthetic blunted her senses, Mrs. Free
my felt, or thought she felt, the steel
severing her nerves The operation was
her twin sister was passing away, Mrs.
Freeman continued to be desperately i'll.
At the moment when Mrs. Smith died
Mrs. FreemanS Sufferings ceased. But her
body had been SO racked that she, too,
was very near death.
Mrs Freeman and, her friends do not
try to explain why she, who had been in
perfect health, fell ill, while she suffered
vicariously when her sister, lay uncon-
scious under the knife, or why she ceased
to suffer when her sister died. They know
only that these things happened.
81 had never known of such a CASE
said DR.. D. A. Martin, one of the hospital
surgeons. Il think Mrs. Freeman'S suffers
ing can be accounted for only on the
theory that it was caused by the strong
sympathy that existed between these two
sisters.
Properly speaking, Mrs. Freeman was
not ill at all; she suffered no real pain.
But her sympathetic mind was wrought
up to the highest pitch and she felt or
thought she felt, the pain her sister would
have suffered had she been operated upon
without the use of chloroform. 1t is an
absolute certainty that Mrs. Smith did not
suffer pain while on the operating table
or afterward. She was utterly uncon-
scious to all feeling; her death resulted
from shock. Mrs. Freemans suffering,
therefore, was caused by an overweight
mind.
AS has been said the sisters strong
love for each other, remarkable in their
childhood, was still more remarkable in
Womanhood Mrs. Freeman married and
went with her husband to Denver but so
strong was her attachment for her sister
that they did not long remain separated
at a time. Although hundreds of miles
apart. they often believed they knew each
others thoughts, and felt that in their
sympathy they were very close together.
much abroad and was absent for months,
but communication between the twin sis

each other at frequent intervals.
Often after their reunion they found
that, while they were separated, they had
been doing the same things, or thinking
the same subjects, at the same time.

station. A common thief who bore q
deadly grudge against the police de-
partment in general, walked into the
station when Messenger was alone,
writing behind the sergeant's desk.
He showed revolver through the graf
ing and murdered Messenger in cold
blood. The murderer rushed for the
door, sixty feet away. AS he darted
through it Scully threw open the door
of the captains office and fired. Only
the back of the fleeing murderer's head

but that was enough of mark. The

the police force knew the difference
between double action gun and
sewing machine. The annual shoots,
however, brought all members of the
department out for practice seven and
eight weeks before the contests. The
result was that even though they
didn't capture any of the medals, ev-
cry man in blue became an expert with
the pistol.
Good Thing for the Force.
'It would be a good thing for the
force to have a place where they could
use their revolvers in practice" said
Chief O'Connor last night. Even
though the necessity might only occur
once in a lifetime, when it does oc-
cur it is often matter of life or death,
or even the escape of a murderous
crook. The very fact that the police
men of the town are noted for their
ability to shoot is enough to make bad
men wary of it. 1 am in favor of

Capt. Hanft said:
considering that it would cost COM
paratively nothing and would add to
the effectiveness of the system, I am
heartily in favor of the proposition"
Among the most enthusiastic sup
porters of the proposed institution is
Sergeant TWohy. He said:
There are some people on the de-
partment who couldn't hit barn door
if their lives depended upon it, and
once in a while you hear of a police
mans life depending on his quickness
with his gun. Nothing but practice
makes good marksmen, and the sooner
some provision is made for giving the
boys a chance to practice the sooner
will professional bad men begin to

waste their entire lives in the pursuit
of a husband. 1 may say that the ma
jority of women devote from two to
ten years in looking for a strong arm
to support them through life And
what they go through in that time, the
WEAKNESS, the anxiety, the boredom, is
enough to draw compassion from the
most callous. I agree with Mrs. Eliza

spared. Long range, running gun
fights between desperadoes and po-
licemen are of common occurrence in
Chicago and the crooks have come to
know that an encounter with blue
coat or Fly Bob is a life and death
matter. Instances are on record when
men have been winged" in dusky al
leys at a distance of block. Duels to
the death have been fought in the
streets and in Railways, the perfect
confidence of the policemen in their
ability to shoot quicker and straighter
than their antagonists causing them
to enter such ARRAYS with zeal. Pro-
motion also awaits the man who comes
out of such a battle with credit and
this is an incentive which has landed
some very young men in the goal of all
members of the force-central detect
i've headquarters, where every man
draws the pay of sergeant.
1t must not be understood, however,
that prOmiScuOuS shooting is encour-
aged.
Shooting Is Last Resort.
Don't shoot until you have to-" is
the admonition handed to every man
by his superior officer But the cases
where men have had to" can be esti-
mated by the appalling death roll
among the finest" of Chicago. Among
Tic HOldDle plotOl HSutS III CLiCdSo
are those of Sergeants Harvard, Rus
sell, Flynn and Mooney, the latter Of
whom won the daughter of Chief
O'Neill by his bravery. All gained
their stripes by the hardness with
their guns. Howard fought the mem
orable battle with a notorious crook in
which each was entrenched behind an
ash barrel. The men were but twenty
five feet apart, Howard having pur-
sued the desperate into an alley. The
crook was known as a dead shot and
Sergeant Howard had not yet made
any reputation.
He had been in the annual contests,
however, and when the crook began
blazing away at him from behind his
ash barrel he calmly squatted and
carefully examined his pistol. Then he
took a chance on getting his head shot
through and peeked over the barrel.
A bullet sang past his nose. Then
began one of the prettiest duels that
ever was fought. Each man loaded his
weapon several times and emptied it
but neither could catch the other with
enough of his anatomy exposed to send
a bullet home. Finally the crook
