When William Rockefeller had az
rcndicitis DR.. McBirney was called il:
to perform the necessary operation.
After his recovery Mr.. Rockefeller
received the doctors bill in due course
and drawing a check went TO pay til =
account in person. In the conversa-
ton which followed appendicitis was
naturally their theme.
You told me-" said Mr.. Rockefeller,
while l was sick. doctor, that every
body in the world had vermiforn
appendix"
With few exceptions I believe tha.
to be the case" answered the doctor.
And that, sooner or later" pursu-
ed the Oil magnate, "every one would
have to be operated on. either to cure
or prevent the disease
THAT is the generally recognized
opinion among the medical fraternity"
was the answer.

Adelaide Thurston, who stands with
all who have seen her as he en-
fodiment of all the charms of a gir.-
ish artistic. is to come to the Elks
theater November IA, in her recent
success by Paul Wilstach, Polly
Primrose A fact pointed out by
theater-goer who was praisefully recit-
ing the charms of the performance,
is that all the characters in the long
cast are supposed to be southerners
born below the line. In casting the
play the Messrs. Wilstach, instead of
getting northern born and bred actors
who would only give an imitation of
a southerner, engaged for the leading
parts only ladies and gentlemen who
were born in the south. In this way
the horror of dialect is avoided and
the soft, refined and thoroughly patri-
cian quality of a southern lady or
