The North Caronan Who

year in New Zealand, going a hundred
miles in canoe to do it; in New
foundland, after crossing the water
ways with fishermen in small boats in
the midst of winter; in Brazil. where
had to go up d river 500 miles
and slosh around in primeval forests
for two months to get my facts; and
in Honduras, where we camped for
three months in the rainy season to
beat another concern whose men were
waiting in the capital for the good
weather to begin.
One of the men in our line waded
into Uganda to try for that big con-
tract that was finally won by an
American house. He shot two lions on
the way. One lion he shot because ne
wanted his skin. The second lion he
shot because he wanted his own. The
first one trotted by his tent one even
ing and was disposed to mind his own
business. He keeled over at the first
shot. few days afterward he was
at dinner in his tent when the second
lion walked right in without knock
ing. The natives ran for their lives
and the bridge drummer rolled over to
the side of the tent in his fright.
Luckily for him he rolled right against
his big gun and just as the lion pre-
pared to pounce on him he sent two
bullets into him at short range. The
brute fell on him and bruised him so
badly, merely with his dead weight,
that he couldn't march for a couple of
days; but he says that the pain from
those bruises was nothing compared
with the pain that he felt in his mind
at the thought that possibly his rivals
might be getting ahead of him.
They didn't get ahead of him and
he made his reports all right. But at
the last moment his company decided
not to bid because it had found a new
use for its plant. So all his fight with
the wilderness. went for nothing.
mo, I never had any real adven-
lures, myself. Once 1 fell into a river
in South America and a crocodile (not
an alligator, but a real, genuine Amer
lean crocodile) made a. snap at me. 1
floundered about a boat just in time to
escape. Another time a snake fell out
of a tree right on top of my telescope
which 1 was resting against the trunk
to survey a, valley. And once in Bur-
NAH a rhinoceros stepped on my toe
and mashed it. But then, when a rhi-
noceros gets so close to you that it
steps on your toe and doesn't do any
thing worse, you are, naturally, very
much relieved This particular rhi-
noceros must have scented the camp
and it charged right down on us,
though nobody had annoyed it. 1t

London, March 6.-The foreign Office
regards the week just ended as one
in which, much has been done to guar
antee the continued peace of Europe.
The Associated Press is authorized
to say, however. that the rumors that
France, Great Britain or any either
power is contemplating Intervention or
the taking of any steps with the idea
of ending the war, are quite baseless.
The only diplomatic danger believed
by the foreign office to be in sight is
a possible continental protest against
the Japanese-Korean treaty. Great
Britain has been unefficially approach
ed by one of the great powers with the
view of sustaining Rnssia's protest in
this connection on point of inter-
national law. Lord Lansdowne, how
ever. will take no action, and II is not
thought likely that other nations will
do so.

HEART REMOVED

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb 4.-Dr. stew
art of jefferson Hospital, felt the heart
Of Thomas Emerson beat as he held
the organ in his hand after it had
been withdrawn outside the body.
Six stitches were taken in the heart,
into which knife in the hands of a
jealous woman had penetrated. and to-
night Emerson is in d fair way to
recovery, the principal danger being
from shock or septicaema.
This remarkable operation was per-
formed after Emerson, who is a negro,
had been stabbed last Monday night.
without assistance to the hospital,
distance of five blocks and was put
under the influence of ether as soon
as the wound had been examined. On
the operating table the heart was ex-
posed by a. long incision which neces-
STATED the breaking of several ribs.
DR.. Stewart inserted two fingers be-
low and behind the apex and lifted
out the heart. 1t was drawn clean out
of the trunk, yet it went on with its
work with almost normal steadiness
usually large one compared with post
norton exposures of similar stabbing
cases. 1t required six stitches.
As soon as the chest cavity had been
exposed the surgeon saw that the left
lung had been wounded and was col
iapsed. The pleura was opened and
DR.. Stewart discovered the lung filled
with blood, which he scooped out with
his hand. This gave immediate relief
without the necessity for any suture.
The delicate and dangerous operation
was concluded by the surgeon closing
the pericardium. The pleura and
heart were replaced and the flap was
sutured in position. When the patient
recovered from the influence of the
anaesthetic he was very weak. but he
has gained slightly daily, and the sur
geons feel encouraged to believe that
he will recover.

Marquis Ito, the Bismarck of Japan"

Cordele Daily News: The Atlanta
Journals poll Of the State Democratic
Committee was not very satisfactory
to any of the presidential booms or
Iaspirants, except the sound, conser-
vative candidate" Just who that gem
tleman is, is still the problem in Dem
ocratic minds. The result of the poll
was to explode the popular idea that
the Hearst boom had reached any con-
siderable proportions in Georgia.
Hearst's attitude toward labor and
the trusts has been carried to such
extremes that he is booked by ma
jority of the people as a socialist. So
cialism isn't popular down this way,
and IL will take MIR. Hearst long
time to convince Georgia Democrats
that he Is the sound. conservative
candidate" There is reason in DOUBT

the strength given him by his agents.
