Exquisite and dainty in it's setting, with
illustrations by Harrison Fischer, and
decorations by Charles B. Falls, 1.-The
Purple Parasol' Is easily the most capti-
waiting story that has appeared in some
time. 1t will delight the heart of young

fresh and full of subtle charm. love

give even the faintest idea of its motive.
1t has all the fascination and enchant-
ment of "Graustark' and Beverly OF
Graustark" intensified, and at the same
time Is wonderfully free OF all the no
ticeable defects which marred somewhat
those productions. In THE Purple Par
asol'' Mr.. McCuteheon has proven him
self to be master of his art-and very
delightful master.

FIELD FOR MISSIONARIES.
Promising Future for Panama and
South American Countries.

II. X. Carroll. LII. D., formerly United
States commissioner to Porto Rico, and
now one of the corresponding secretaries
of the missionary society of t-e Methodist
Episcopal church. has just reached New
York after tour extending over large
part of South America, and including
visits to the principal mission stations of
the denomination on both the west and
east coasts. He studied conditions ON the
isthmus Panama with a view to the es-
establishment of Methodist missions in the
new republic, and called at the principal
norris in Peru and Chile. where he inspect
ed church and school properties. He then
crossed the Andes. visiteu the principal
mission stations in Argentina and Uru-
quay, and sailed early in April from Rio
.Janeiro for New York, reaching that city
after a nineteen days trip by direct
steamer DR.. Carroll had the following

of the isthmus must be changed by the

our fellow countrymen along the line

moreover, the halfway point between the

and while his claim as to still being a
railroader is wholly nominal or honorary
of necessity, it is admitted that II the
trains always ran smoothly he could stu
navigate" the tops of freight boxes in
motion
Longs railroad career began with steal
ing short rides in the Terre Haute rail-
road yards. The climax came one day
last summer when after insisting per-
sistently that he be allowed to make the
trip. he grew dizzy and fell between two
freight cars near Paris H., and-did not
lose limb! His head fell where the
wheels failed to catch it and as for limbs,
there were none to grind off.
However, he was so dangerously bruised
by the rucks that he was compelled to re-
main in bed four monthsl
When the news reached Terre Hauto
that Punk" Long was again seriously
hurt a general chorus arose to the effect
that 1T must be his head this time =
But he had fooled everybody for the sew
enth time after somewhat the same man
ner Now he vows that though he was
born a railroader. lived a railroader and
will die railroader, mo consumed cars
will send him to the extended hereafter
Today he stands unique, and 1t is
thought alone in his class actually
stands. though he has no fieshly neither
limbs. with no members to be amputated;
unless the classification be strained to
the point where his head could be called
a member Surgeon Shaley of ST. Antho-
nys hospital said that no surgical oper-
alton could kill Long unless it be the
complete severile of the neck from the
trunk and that he sincerely believed that
final successful humiliation of the abb
normally vital earthly life sparks of
Charles (''PunkO Long would involve
the thorough hiding of the young mans
head.
All this is in the form of epilogue. for
this railroader's surgical history has its
epochal divisions. He has figured in no
less than six separate amputations. four
primary or original choppngs off, one to
each limb and two secondary, one to each
leg.
How, then. does he stand? Why. he is
possessed of one splendid cork leg, in
prime condition. las good as the meat
one" to quote Longs own words and one
homemade makeshift of the crutch va
riety. He uses no cane. He possesses no
mechanical substitute for hands. But it
is an inspiring sight to watch him roll
a cigarette tip and sip the seductive
contents of a liquor flask.
When he first came under the surgeons
knives In 1893 he refused to allow the
administra ton of opiates or anaesthetics,
and made intelligent and very pointed re-
marks throughout the complicated oper-
alton The statement has not been veri-
fed but 1t is said that he has never
submitted to the taking of drugs while
on the surgeons tables.
This remarkable speciment of human
vitality is of a physical and tempera
mental type exactly opposite to that long
accented as heing hest adapted to with
stand surgical crisis, but when this is
noted the doctors only smile and remark
that IT is always the exception that proves
the rule.
