for several inches, DR.. Walker

penetrated upward about seven
inches. It had q nail in the end,
which stuck out like the barb OF q
fish hook, and it was owing to thi 9
that it was proved necessary to cut
it out, as any attempt to pull it out
would have been attended with
fatal results. The nail would have
perforated the iptestines, in several
places. The point Of the nail point
ed downwards and did not cause
any trouble until an attempt was
made to remove the stick. The
accident is very painful ana win

when he heard of Cooper and wrote
him a description of his case. The
Philanthropist told him what
remedies to use, and in three days
Mr.. Tuscany was out of bed and
walking around. In a week he was
apparently as we'll as ever. In
telling of his remarkable cure, Mr..
Tuscany walked quickly up and
down the room and kicked with his
Rheumatic limb in every direction,

Chicago, underwent a serious surgical
operation in the Presbyterian hospi-
al. The operation from a surgical

an, Billings and HektoeD. The follow
ing bulletin was issued by DR.. Bill
lings: "The operation was perform
ed by DR.. McBurney. A condition of
thickening of the posterior wall of the
head of the colon and enlargement of
the glands Of the mesentery was
found. The entire removal of the dis
eased tissue was deemed impossible
by the surgeons and the wound was
closed.
at was the opinion of Drs. McBur-
ney and Bevan that the disease is
carcinoma. 1t has been decided that
President Harper shall be placed upon
medical and X-ray treatment with the
reasonble hope that the disease may
be checked"

POINTS ON APPENDICITIS.
Jersey School Superintendent Turns
Loose on Vermiform Mis-
information.

Many a layman has been Stamped"
IN trying to master the intricacies Of the
vermiform appendix. But let everybody
take heart, says the New York Sun.
In an aristocratic New Jersey suburb
recently the superintendent of public
schools was visiting a grade while lesson
in physiology was being demonstrated.
The teacher was explaining the cOnstruc-
ton of the spinal column. She compared
it to a string of beads in order to show its
formation, and drew diagram for further
illumination.
When the lesson was finished, the super
intendent suggested that a most impor-
tant feature of the spinal column had not
been explained.
1T is this curious, pointed section at
the base" he said, indicating the end of
the vertebral column, (which is called
the vermiform appendix You have all
heard of appendicitis? Very good. Well,
that is the name given to a disease which
is caused by an Inflammation of this APP
pendix. An operation for appendicitis
means an amputation of this useless ap-
pendiX.'
There is a new superintendent of public
schools in that suburban New Jersey
town.

Representative Baker Said That
"The Cigarette Trust" Tried
to Buy His Vote.
AN INVESTIGATION WAS ORDERED
An Affidavit Was Issued For the
Arrest of o. A. Baker, OF Mar
ion, Former Senator.
An Envelope Containing 500 Was
Sent To Accuser and the Charge
of Attempted Bribery Was
Made in Open Session.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 23.-When
the Parks anti-cigarette bill came up
in the house of representatives, Rep
resentative Ananias Baker, of Fulton
and Cass counties, created a sensa-
ton. In explaining his vote for the
bill he opened a sealed letter which
he declared had been sent to him by
The Cigarette Trust" and took out
hundred dollar bill which he waved
before the astonished members. The
effect was apparent in the immediate
overwhelming vote in favor of the bill
which was passed by a vote Of "A
to II,
Mr.. Baker called page and, pat
ting the bill back in it's envelope, sent
it up to Speaker Cantwell. Speaker
Cantwell later ordered an investiga-
ton to ascertain who sent the money
to Mr.. Baker. Ele Stansbury, chair
man Of the committee on judiciary,
called a meeting of the committee i'm
mediately.
The special investigating commit
tee appointed by Speaker Sidney Can't
well, of the house of representatives,
following the declaration of Represen-
tative Ananias Baker, in explaining
his vote on the anti-cigarette bill in
the house, issued an affidavit for the
arrest of o. A Baker, of Marion, 81
former state senator, charging him
with attempting to corrupt Represen-
tatiVe Bake Is
Investigating Committee at Work.
The investigating committee, with
the assistance of Attorney General
Charles Miller, who did the question
| ing, wrung from Representative Ba-
ker the name of the eX-state senator
only after half an hour of persistent
and cleverly planned questioning. Mr..
Baker said he had to promise the al
legged briber not to divulge his name
in order to draw him out. Following
the questioning of Representative Ba-
ker, two pages, a doorkeeper and Sen
ator Parks, author OF the anti-cigar-
cite bill, were examined by the COM
mittee.
Neither of the pages recalled that
| they had carried a note from .. A. Ba-
ker to Representative Baker There
was little of value, it was said, in the
testimony of the doorkeeper, James
Hamilton, of Marion.
The committee, consisting of Rep
resentative Wilson, Of Jasper county;
Stansbury and Mountz, republicans,
and Honan, democrat, will meet again
to take any further evidence that may
! develop.
There was no delay at any stage of
the action taken by the house. The
| speaker almost Immediately after the
\ bribery charge was made instructed
the judiciary committee to draw up
a resolution for an investigation. The
resolution was presented and the com
Infttee was appointed Immediately.

How can you do it?" she was asked.
''Oh," she replied. II was born in New
Orleans, you know, and was raised there.
When was slip of a. girl my father used
to take me down into his great wine cellar
under the house and show me the dusty
bottles. He taught me all about wines
down in those gloomy caves"
After the dinner the hostess said to her
husband: Wasn't it interesting to hear
Mrs. So-and-So tell about her fathers wine
cellars?"
Great" cried the brutal husband.
Absolutely great! 1t was simply fine.
