BONE pLAcEp~IN A BOYS ARM.
Defect Of Nature Supplied by Noted
Scottish SURGEON.

~
At the annual gathering Of the Glas-
Cow University club at Sunderland re-
Gently Sir William Macewen, who was
concerned in an extraordinary opera
ton upon a child over twenty years
ago, introduced the patient, now a
full-grown man, to the medical men
present and explained the nature OF
the remarkable case.
The child was born without bone
in the right arm, the homeless limb
hanging helpless by its side. The sur
geons determined to make an attempt
to save the limb.
Small sections OF the bone taken
from the tibia and lower portions OK
the legs of other patients who were
under treatment for the cure Of bow
leggedness were transferred to the
homeless arm, there to continue their
growth and to become amalgamated--
in fact, eventually supplying the place
OF the missing humerus.
Sir William Macewen kept In touch
with the boy, who at the age OF IA
left Glasgow for Sunderland, where
he had worked since. The young
man barred his arm TO the guests pres
ent and gave the company abundant
proof of the sustained serviceableness
of the limb, despite several accidents.
including a compound fracture, which
had befallen 1t.

line from Constance, Edes repaired
to the Office of Morley & Stevens.
They received him with seeming re-
spect and listened to his story with
attention. 1t Is we'll known to my
readers by this time, and I will not
repeat 1t. When he finished, both law
yers observed that he said nothing
about Constance's recognition through
the olfactory sense, and they Judged
rightly that he was unaware of It.
They saw, therefore, that 1t bore no
part In his determination to prosecute
his claims After the matter had
been discussed at some length, Mr..
Morley said:
ACTIONS against tenants will ap-
ply to your case, Mr. Hamilton (call.
ing him so for the first time), for they
provide for any case where one per.
son is in possession of any land or
tenement belonging to another, and
wrongfully withheld from the owner,
whether the relation of landlord and
tenant ever existed between the par.
ties or not. The plaintiff claims to
be the owner of the estate, Vane
Hamilton. AS such he has a right to
ii. Otherwise he has none. The
sole issue to be tried is the identity
of the plaintiff with Vane Hamilton. y
Exactly. Now, In what name shall
the writ be issued against him-Vic.
tor Hamilton or Ashley"
II don't absolutely know that 1t is
either"
That makes no difference. A fc-
titious name may be used, even,
when name Is unknown. In this case
you can use which. name you choose,
but afterward the court may amend
It."
81 see Well, issue 1t against Vic
tor Hamilton. don't care to estab-
lish his identity with Ashley"
1T may be your best hold later on"
Il hope he will not contest my
claim"
But he will. He has nine points of
the law In his favor, he will reason.
That is possession. you know.
think we may as we'll begin to look
into the case at once. Can you prove
that the twin brother was stolen, and
that you made search for him?"
II think | can, but | shall be COM
PEELED to go to Elmira. eat last ac-
counts the nurse from whom the child
was stolen was alive, though very
feeble"
That would be point gained
Then If you could prove that you went
in search of him 1t would be set
against the assertion of the defendant
that he had no brother, and his re-
fusal to tell why and when he went
II 1t could be shown by any means
where you lost your sense of personal
knowledge, how the defendant pos
sessed himself of your ring, or any
point of similar consequence, 1t would
be Of material aid. Something that
somebody may have noticed occurred
perhaps on the. road to Portland or
afterward. An advertisement might
bring out something. What do you

Boastful lnnkeeper Carried Blum

Through to the End.
DIR. John +. Russell of New York,
whose emulsion of fats and com.
pounds of vegetable juices has done sc
much for the cure of consumption,
, said at a meeting of physicians that
he did not wish to praise too ardently
his discoveries.
For they who speak overhighly OF
their own work." he said, "are always
little ridiculous, and sometimes they
stumble, like certain innkeeper, into
pitfall.
This innkeeper, New Hampshire
man, was notorious for the bad quality
Of his beer.
"A joker from Sunapee, n gentleman
named Perley, said one day that ha
would put up trick on the innkeeper
and as he sat at table with some
friends in the inn he poured lot OF
vinegar and pepper into glass OF
beer before him. )
Then Perley made horrible face
and roared out:
Dreadful. It's shame. This Is
not beer. 1t Is poison
pale with rage, the landlord hur-
ried in.
What's the matter with you, Per-
ley?' he said. That beer is all right
"All right, is itT said Perley, wink
ing at his companions. Well, just
taste 1t and see II it's all right.
"The landlord put the full glass OF
doctored beer to his lips. He drained
the vile mixture to the last drop. Then,
determined to stand up Tor himself at
all costs, he said:
IAN excellent glass of beer. ! never
tasted a better

withhold the fact any longer"
There is good reason for your
hesitation, as you must own, Mrs.
Hamilton, when YOU view the matter
dispassionately. The sense of smell
ing is a noble one, If most people
possess 1t in small degree, it Is
because we do not need It so much,
perhaps, as the other senses. No
doubt 1t could be cultivated"
You are very kind" said Constance.
simply, land I think you are right.
Still, to ordinary people the matter
would appear strange, absurd"
I'VE shall not speak of It, nor make
it any part of our case, unless similar
circumstances can be discovered TO
throw light upon yours"
Il think you are right" and Mrs
Hamilton arose from her seat and
soon after quietly left the Office
Which does she favor, Mr. Ste,

"Edes." replied his partner,
promptly.
"You are right, undoubtedly. and

Have you tested them by inviting

Neither has failed. Perhaps the

Is called, owns to a vagueness, some,
times, regarding names and Incidents
But there Is one thing in the others

every year in May, and Mr.. Hamilton
does not"
Indeed"
Yes; he went in search of his twin
brother stolen in childhood and sup
posed to be dead by all save his motn

promise that he would spend two
weeks each year in seeking for his
brother"
Does this look like plausible ex

1T does, In some respects. Mr.

II agree with you. Perhaps Mrs

"and it is not surprising that con-
tracted rheumatism. For three years
had attacks, affecting the joints Of my
ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles
and knees became so swollen l could
scarcely walk on uneven ground and a
little pressure from a stone under my
feet would cause me so much pain that
would nearly sink down. / was often
obliged to liein bed for several days at
time. My friends who were similarly
troubled were getting no relief from
doctors and l did not feel encouraged TO
throw money away for nothing. BY
chance read the story of Robert Yates,
of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., of
Dubuque, who had very bad case of
rheumatism. decided to try DIR. Will
Hams Pink Pills for Pale People, the
remedy he had used. In three or four
weeks after beginning to use the pills, /
was much better and in three months I
was well. The swelling of the joints
and the tenderness disappeared, could
work steadily aud for eight years have
had no return of the trouble. My whole

consider them household remedy that
we are sure about"
