Time Saving Is One Of It's Most 1AA
pOrtant Considerations.
Time saving is one of the. most Inn
portant considerations in SNS surgery.
ANY major operation lasting more than
an hour and half entails AN addition
al risk. In operations of long dura-
ton the chances of recovery are COM
paratively small. This is due to shock,
to the cumulative effect Of the an
aesthetic, to loss of blood and to lower
ing of the patients temperature by the
exposure of internal areas to the air.
Because of this the best surgeons work
with mechanical precision and econ
omy Of movement. Everything is ready
before the operation commences; an as
sistant is at hand to look after the de-
tails Of actual work, such as holding
back the edges of the incision, adjust
ing the ligatures, etc; an expert in an
aesthesia handles the chloroforln and
watches the subjects pulse and respi-
ration in order that the operators time
may be devoted wholly to one point,
and deft nurse, adept in the use Of
every instrument, needle and chemical
preparation, is at the surgeons elbow
ready to hand out at a word-some-
times before the word-the shining i'm
plements already filed in the order Of
their probable use.

New York hospitals got markedly

Nothing Left For Armament.

Two young Texas men We're talking
over the many strange things they had
seen and heard in New England.
''That man I was talking with yes
tertlay," said one of them, he told me
that when two fellers in his section
have dispute about land or anything
they just go to law and sue each other
for damages or get an atfidavy or some
thing Of the kind
That's all we'll enough for the one
that wins,' said the other man, but
how about the feller that loses? Does
he go out and buy gun and get even
or what-all!"
"As near as can make out" said his
friend, '.by the time it's settled the
man that loses hasn't any money to go
buying guns or even hiring 'en, and
if he owns one it's more'n likely to be
in pawn."-Youth's Companion.

Triumph potatoes have reached the
dollar mark and dealers who were
fortunate enough to stock up with a
good supply of southern seed stock
are making consignments on very big
margins at the present time. Triumphs
were sold on the early market in
Princeton at around forty cents, and
have gradually advanced in price dur
ing the season. The bulk of the crop
sold at fifty cents to sixty cents.
There are probably not over two cars
of Triumphs left in the hands of farm
ers tributary to this market at the
present time. Texas farmers are 60
ing into potatoes on more extensive
scale than for a long time. Their cot
ton crop proved unremunerative and
they are planning on large acreage
of potatoes this spring. The result is
that there is a heavy demand for the
Minnesota seed stock and northern
dealers are reaping the harvest.

The Old Folks Dance.

The old folks dance which was
given at the opera house last Friday
evening was the best social event of
the season so far, and perhaps for
real old time fun and enjoyment
nothing will ever equal it. Those who
had the privilege of the floor were the
old-married folks, bachelors and
young ladies past the age of sweet
sixteen. There were only few of the
latter, but it was crowd bent on
awakening the echoes of the 'old-time
dances, and when Joe Nokes started
in calling dances the weary feet of the
old folks caught the spirit and son
with the dance'' was the cry until
early morning. At nine o'clock the
Princeton orchestra tuned up in way
that made the old folks boys and girls
again. Postmaster Cordiner led the
"Tempest'' while J. F. Zimmerman
led the "Irish Trot." The old-time
schottische, Newport, Virginia reel,
Montebello quadrille, and long list
OF other dances of days gone by when
Maggie May was queen of the ball
room fascinated the dancers for many
hours. There were about fifty couple
on the floor. Supper was served at
Shepherds and the way that Jim
Hartman devoured 'warm beans''
would have made an old-time Bos-
tonian turn green with envy. The old
folks SO much enjoyed the affair that
they have made arrangements to give
a series of dances at the Masonic hall
every two weeks.
