his back. Such a mortal hurt is not
necessarily mortal now. A surgeon
cut away the injured part Of the spinal
cord, and sewed the ends together. At
this writing, the physicians say that
this patient mas a good chance of re-
covery. In Philadelphia, too, a rare
operation was performed on Mich
igander who had been paralyzed for
two years from a bullet in his spine.
He heard that a Philadelphia woman
had been cured by this operation and
he insisted on having it tried on him.
The bullet was removed from the
spine. Three shattered vertebrae were
spliced with silver wires. The paraly-
sis decreased gradually A complete
recovery is expected.

A New Jersey wedding was post
poned because the groom at TIE last
moment sent a note to the bride-e elect
saying that he already had a wife and
three children whom he had somehow
overlooked in the arrangements for
the ceremony. The bride felt badly
about it and went off to her room to
cry, but the wedding guests remained,
ate the wedding supper and organized
dance. Your average wedding
guests cannot be defeated by acct
dents.

policy was taken out by Mr.. Hay in
1887, when he was Al years old. It was
known as a fifteen-year deferred divi-
dend policy. The policy reached the
end Of it's divident period in 1902,
when it was fully paid up. In all Mr.
Hay paid $1,000 in premiums on the
policy, which indicates that it was not
a poor mans game.

The Fate Of Niagara.

The Canadian government has be-
come interested in saving Niagara, and
this may be taken as hopeful sign.
It would have been useless to attempt
to guard the falls from the American
side without cooperation on the 9TH
err side. One of the chief arguments
used by the company which sought au=
thority to drain the cataract for conf
mercial purposes was that the Cana
dams would do it If Americans did not.
AS 1t stands now some inroads have
been made in this direction on the
Canadian side, and the action of the
Dominion government comes none too
soon.
After failure of the commercial in
terests to CARRY bill through the New
York legislature at the last session the
Brooklyn Eagle came out with strong
appeal to preserve the falls and sug-
gested giving the Niagara shores to
the United States for u national park.
Canada has already preserved a strip
of the shore contiguous to the falls.
Should the United States government
acquire title it would be easy to Sc
cure international cooperation In the
preservation of this marvellous work
of nature.
Americans have always been justly
proud of Niagara. Their feelings were
perhaps best expressed by the late
Samuel Bowles, the eloquent editor OF
the Springfield Republican, who wrote
of the spectacle half a century ago as
follows:
America is written all over the falls.
It's roar Is that Of the nation. Its majes-
tic sweep typifes the grand progress OF
America The maddening, dashing. seeth-
Ing buff1ng, pitching. uneasy flood typifies
the intensity Of the American mind and
the vitality Of American action. Here Is
the fountain Of true young America, here
the breast which gives it milk. here the
nurture which gives 1t vitality.
Sentiment is as strong today In the
American people as it was fifty years
ago. The danger to Niagara wal rally
to its defense lovers Of grandeur and
beauty the country over.

GETTING AROUND THE ELKINS
LAW,

The Port Arthur Oil Refining COM
pany has a grievance which seems to
indicate that the fine Italian hand of
the oil octopus has been engaged on
the freight rates in that vicinity. The
Port Arthur company complains to the
interstate commerce commission that
the Louisville & Nashville, the Illirciz
Central and other roads have con-
spired with the Standard to ruin it's
business. Port Arthur is in the ex-
IRENE south, and has to ship it's Oil
northward. Accordingly the rate ~,
refined oil from New Orleans to Chi
cago is Al cents and to other northerl
points in proportion. If the STANDARD
wanted to ship from New Orleans to
Chicago, which it never does, of course
1t would have to pay the same rate,
SO there is no discrimination and no
rebate. The rate from Chicago to New
Orleans, however a rate that can be
taken advantage of by the Standard
only, is only % cents a trife more
than half the reverse rate. The
Standard thus is able to get into the
markets within a few miles of the in
dependent refinery, whereas the lat
ter is cut off on every side from a mar
ket This is amazingly simple and
no hot
works.
