knew a man who went to a German
physician with a pain in his leg. That
doctor spent an heur each day for five
days studying it, and after that time
he knew all there was to know about
that pain, but he didn't stop it, In
this country we would have treated it
and thought no more about it except
to congratulate the patient in a few
days ON getting well. They don's care
for the patient. He is only a specimen.

emphatically that he hoped a certain
patient would die so as he might learn
some fact from the autopsy.
"They call American surgeons copy

it is merely that Americans turn to
practical service the theory they study.
But undoubtedly the Germans are do

to human life by his discoveries.
There is no commercial end for them
to gain, so that their work, their sci.
ence, must be their only aim"
The difference aptly illustrates the
general difference between our "prac-
teal ways and the ways of German

a poet as well as "a statesman and
pontiff Leo remained to the last, as is
evidenced by the fact that fine poem
by him was published as late as Feb
ruary, 1903 In it we note all his old
vigor and grace of diction. A real
achievement it was for man of his
years.
OF him indeed it may be said that
whatever he did was well done. There
have been many pontiffs, but not many
who have done greater deeds or en-
deared themselves more to all Chris
tendon than Leo XIII. A conservative
in many respects, he was at the same
time a true child of the century. and
hence he could not be blind to the
march Of events. He saw the meaning
of modern progress and he recognized
the potency Of modern ideas. A man
of narrow mind might have come forth
as champion against them, but not
such man was Leo. Intolerance

"A strange way of testing the inno-

ployed in India" said traveller who
lately returned from Madras. They
haul the man up and give him a mouth
full Of dry rice to chew Dry rice takes
deal of chewing to get it masticated
into glutinous mass, like gum, and
that is the condition that the accused
is required to get it into within ten
minutes. If you are calm and not
afraids you succeed. but if you are
nervous and scared you fail. For it
seems that fear has a strong effect
upon the salivary glands. 1t prevents
them from secreting saliva. The mouth
Of badly frightened person is always
dry as bone. 1t requires tremend-
Gus flow Of SALIVA to chew dry rice,
and therefore the scared prisoner in

fisher apparently caught in some sort

kingfsher had been splintered or
cracked in some way years before, for
the wound was healed up and several

reed had caught in this crack so that
the bird could not escape. The hunter
released the bird and set it at liberty.

A DANGEROUS Proposition.

The election of W. H. Thompson,
the brewers candidate for governor,
would be a sign that this interference
in Nebraska politics is not offensivs
to Nebraska people. It would be an
invitation for them to go further. 1t
would bring to the next legislature
corrupt lobbyists and a whisky trust
Doodle fund. The legislature would
be organized largely with reference to
the liquor interest. The liquor interest
would be consulted in the making up
of the legislative committees. When
the machinery of legislation had been
adjusted for that purpose, then there
would be inaugurated a struggle to
rob the Slocum law of it's power. To
make. 1t easier to get a license; to
make it easier to get bonds; to make
the law more lenient in general
toward the saloon, these are the OBJ
jects sought by the brewers who own
the Nebraska saloons. To accomplish
these things the brewers want a friend
in the executive Office. They want
the governor to start with. The rest
they believe will be easy after that.
A governor friendly to the brewers
would be the opening wedge. To put
the executive Office into the hands
of the democratic candidate means to
put Nebraska government in fact into
the hands of the Milwaukee brewers.
