ANOTHER HEART OPERATION

ANOTHER HEART OPERATION is
II reported from Philadelphia as ID
success by the operating physicians.
At least the patient is still alive aud
it is said that he may recover If he
does it VIII be the first time a man has
lived after his heart was sewed up. The
fact that this man lived more than a
few moments after his injury is re-
markable enough. And the further fact
that he lived through the operation is
even more remarkable.
The patient is a negro. Thomas Emer-
son. He had a quarrel with his sweet
heart and she stabbed him, making n
large cash in his heart. He walked
several blocks 10 the nearest hospital
and was at once placed on the Operat-
ing table. An account says the sur
Eeons barred his heart with a long in
Cision and after breaking two OF his ribs.
Then one of them lifted the organ clear
out OF Emerson's body and the heart
continued TO beat in a manner almost
normal.
Six stitches were taken in the wound,
then the incision was closed, the
patient revived and he continues to
live. IF the story is correctly set forth
Emerson 10 a man of unprecedented
vitality. If he RECEIVERS some people
may conclude that the heart is not the
vital organ. after all. and they viii
wonder which organ is vital There
seems to be no limit to the possibilities
OF modern surgery.
Men have been shot through the brain
and lived 10 ten the story, their lungs
have been perforated by bullets and
they have recovered. stomachs have
been removed and the patients have
survived. Still we would not advise
people TO take chances with such opera
tons unless as a last resort. The
patients who have lived through them
have always been men and women en-
lowed with a marvellous capacity for
clinging TO life. one is led to believe
they might even survive deeapitation.

SMALL Gauss For war:

THE THEFT OF 4 LANTERN,
L worth. in all probability not TO ex-
coed 81, has caused war in German
West Africa. The var has already cost
the lives OF several Germans ana Il
number Of natives. ard a large amount
OF property has been destroyed. All
because Of a cheap lantern. The end is
not yet More lives win be sacrificed,
more property destroyed. before the re-
bellion is put down. And Germany is u
Christian nation.
The rebellion was made possible be-
cause Of the overpowering wrath of
Count Won Puecltler when. he heard
that a native had stolen the lantern
spoken of from German corporation
in the district in which he was commits
sioner for the German government.
Won Pueckler wrote the president of the
company that he intended to compel
the natives to respect German property,
and by way Of beginning his enforce
ment of proper respect he intended to
burn a few villages. Before he could
be headed of he proceeded with the
work
With twenty-five men at his back he
attempted to arrest some of the head
men of a village. and in the fight that
ensued Won Pueckler was killed and his
| escort escaped death by a narrow mar
gin. Ever since then the district has
been m a state Of rebellion. The Ger
man corporation is ruined, its prop
erty has been destroyed by fire and
/ Germany has been forced TO send a
punitive expedition TO the scene. BY
way of extenuation it is said Won
/ Pueckler was crazy, but that does not
alter the facts in the case.
] Because Of 4 dollar lantern Germany
/ has an instruction on its hands. il is
very dear price to pay for a lantern.
4 If Won Pueckler were alive he would
| doubtless say he fought for principle,
/ rather than for the cost of a lantern.
/ but a great many crimes have been
I CoE}EC'lted under the plea of enforcing
/ a principle. The effect of this affair
| viii doubtless be to make Germany
/ more careful in the selection of her
| agents in West Africa. She should
! change them. too. at least often enough
! 10 keep them from going crazy.

Meanwhile the other fire had blinded
the bear and he had pelted right into
it. He rOared and screamed and we
just poured steady fire into him,
which didn't seem to bother him so
much as the blazing brush.
Finally he freed himself. although
his fur was smoking in a dozen spots,
and he made for the bank. where we
stood firing our repeaters. But he was
weakening. and about half way he
rolled over and stirred the river bed

WHERE TRUST MEETS TRUST.

+ ABLE DISPATCHES announce that
" the steel manufacturers Of Ger
many have about completed the or
sanitation of trust in their indus
Try. following practically the same gen
eral lines as the Carnegie Morgan com
bination. The parallel between the
two undertakings shows the adoption
OF American ideas OF the most obnox-
ious pattern.
To begin with, some. OF the German
manufacturers were obdurate. They
were at once notified that If they re-
fused to come into the combination
their business would be ruined by pi-
ratical competition exactly along the
lines inaugurated by Mr.. Rockefeller
and afterward used so effectively by
our American trust makers.
Then there was difficulty among the
Germans because the Krupps demand
ed an excessive allotment of the in
terests involved. Mr.. Carnegie IS cred
tied with having done the same thing
when Mr.. Schwab and Mr.. Morgan con-
ceived the idea of combination. Both
Carnegie and the Krupps were in 20
sition to demand almost any price for
amalgamating, because they were both
in position to dictate and could not be
frightened by threats. The German or
sanization has left out plants with
small output. and their fate is a fore
gone conclusion.
The German plan seems to be a pool
ing arrangement with a central sell

James Etter, a doorkeeper in the war
department, frequently occupied a
chair with which he could not be in
duced to part because it was once used
by President Lincoln, while he wore a
badge of a Waterman pinned on the
lapel of his coat During the recent
national encampnlent of the Grand
Army of the Republic at Washington
Mr.. Etter explained the incident in this
way:
"One day during the Civil war I was
sitting here when a tall, angular gem
tleman entered the main door and
asked if the secretary was in. 1 told
him it was too early for the secretary
to be in his Officer
AT what hour can I depend on
finding him here?' he asked.
II told him, and with a pleasant
Thank YOU ne departed.
Promptly on the hour the tai gen

the door. and I was almost knocked

not go in the secretary's Office and ask
him to step out into the hall. / recoV-
cred myself, and told the stranger that
I could not leave my post of duty, and

stepped up to me and unpinned my

chair just like an old Waterman, and
remarked: Think can fill the bill?'
II said I thought he could, and with
a smile playing over his face as l
walked away he said he'd keep things

utes before he and the president were

When the president gave me back

me for what had done, and you must
remember that watchmen are not

TELEPHONE PoLlrEness.

low MANY BUSINESS MEN stop
II to think of the vast deal Of bust
ness that is lost or gained through the
instTumentality of the telephone? How
many of them are sure that the indi-
vidual who answers the telephone in
their offices always answers politely,
always takes an interest in the bust
ness OF the party on the other end? a
writer in Mahin's Magazine discusses
this point very entertainingly. He says:
"One outward expression Of the business
is the girl who answers the telephone.
What would you tldnk IL } told you that
4 prospective customer called YOU uD the
other day and that the nasty harsh
voiced. ill-tempered trea tment he received
over the wire gave him most disagree
able impression of YOUR concern. He got
formation nor the consideration he eX-
pected-and you did not get the business
by such a slender thread sometimes
.'Or would You believe that a certain
buyer interded to divide his order between
your house and competitor; that jewel
of a girl answered the phone: her we'll
modulated voice, her respectful interest
IN his behalf put him in a pleasant and
receptive frame of mind. She said: Mr.
Blank is not In his office at the moment
but I shall send for him at once BY
being at the phone in person you got the
entire order. Perhaps you recall the in
cident.'
As a soft answer turneth away
wrath so a grouchy response through
the telephone turneth away business.
There is altogether too little telephone
politeness in salt Lake. Men and boys
and women who answer the telephone
are often as surly as IL you were ask
ing them for some great personal favor
when you want TO know if Mr. Blank
is there, or when he win return, or
something Of that kind
The chances are that the suriy ones
would not dream OF being surly if they
were talking face to face with the in
Quirer. Good business demands tele-
phone politeness just as much as it de-
mands politeness In other respects.
