We do not expect a doctor to give
us a souvenir when he performs sur
gical operation for appendicitis upon
us, but it is coming more and more to
be the fashion, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. One patient in a
distant city has recently been relieved
of pair of nose glasses, which the
surgeon generously deposited in the
cavity made by his knife and after
ward closed up without saying any
thing about it, 1t was only after a
long period of time had elapsed that
the sufferer discovered the nose
glasses. Not long ago another patient
bore around in his abdominal cavity
steel forceps which the genial surgeon
had not taken away with him. 1t
seems quite the common custom.

A FLORAL MARVEL.
Strange Features of "a Flower Grown
IN England.

A remarkable new flower which has
the scent of the old fashioned English
Glove pink, foliage like that of a wall
flower and the bloom of a massive
stock was shown recently at the Royal
Botanic societys first spring show in
its gardens at Regents park in Lon
don.
Mr. Mortimer of Farnham, Surrey,
was the exhibitor, and he showed no
fewer than 300 plants of the flower,
says the London Express. The whole
collection was bought by a gentleman
admirer within a few minutes of the
shows opening Mr.. Mortimer said
that he has had an extraordinary de
mand for seed of the plant, but that he
has none now left. He sold the last
some weeks ago, and no more will be
available until the next harvest, which
will be quite three months hence
LAS 90 per cent of the blooms are of
the double variety, which does not pro-
duce seed" he added. the seed will be
both scarce and expensive for some
time to come"

GRATITUDE OF LOEB.
How Presidents Secretary Reward

A pleasant story is connected with
the recent appointment Of Mrs. Michael
LauXman to a $3.50 clerkship, says a
Washington special to the New York
Times. A few days before he left
Washington with the president for the
trip to the southwest Secretary Loeb
lost his gold watch. He advertised it in
the papers, and in a few days Mrs.
LauXman, who had found it, took it to
the executive offices.
Mr.. Loeb was glad to get his time
piece back and asked Mrs. LauXman
what reward would be acceptable to
her. Mrs. LauXman hesitated a mo-
ment and then said she would prefer
to ask of him the favor of helping her
to get permanent employment in the
government service If he could do so
consistently. She went on to say that
her husband. who died recently, had
been clerk in the coast survey and
that she was an educated woman, but
had been forced to seek whatever work
she could find to do.
The other day she received notice Of
her appointment to place in the coast

Judge Sheffield has some interesting

DR.. Alexander, IAN old negro woman
was on trial before Judge Sheffield for
murder. The negro witnesses had
made out clear case against her,
and she was convicted. Just before
sentence was pronounced Judge Shelf
field learned Of a queer state OF facts
regarding the prosecution. The negro
woman, who was supposed to have
been killed, had health policy in one
of the negro insurance companies To-
Gated in Augusta, and the company
refused to pay the 1925 insurance on
the ground that the woman caused her
own death. Those interested were
promised, however, that the money
would be paid if they would convict of
murder the woman who was supposed
to have something to do with her
death. Judge Sheffield promptly
granted the woman new trial on his
own motion, and she finally went
free -

The president of the club, benjamin

Only men between forty and forty
years Of age are eligible to member

asked.
"Wel-l-I," he hesitated, that ques-
ton cannot present itself for fifteen
years at least, and we have not con
sidered it officially"
Mr.. Bacharach, a leading merchant,
was forty years old the other day.
Other members are Lewis Hopes, real
Cuskaden, secretary; William Burk-
hardt. owner Of big tracts of ocean
front: Warren COmmers, president Of
the board of trade; c. c. Shinn, owner
Of the Hotel Raleigh; Robert l.. Warke

Not one is more than forty-One years
old. so even the possibility Of being
chlOrOformed is somewhat remote. The
clubs bylaws have not been made pub

in Atlantic City all the year round
A Philadelphia who was carrying
his grip to the railroad station the 9th
er day remarked somewhat sadly:
'"There is no need to elect visitors Of
any age to the club. All visitors are
chlOroformed figuratively, so as to
make painless the presentation of their
bill and the separation from their
money"
THE formation of the Atlantic City
Osler club must not be taken as d
joke" said Mr.. Bacharach I'VE be-
lieve in the wisdom Of DR.. Osler's theo-
ries We firmly believe men should re-
tire, certainly from business. when they
reach the limit of their usefulness. The
commercial and professional worlds are
encountered by those who should make
way for younger, more active, more
useful men,

Easter will come in with a rustic

full If many women are likely to wax
enthusiastic over such economy.

SUIT CASE VICTIMS HEAD
Whnt Is Believed TO he the Head of
Susan Gcnry Fishcd Up in
Boston Harbor.

Boston, Nov 6.-What is confidently
believed to be the head of Susanna A..
Geary, the dress suit case victim, has
been recovered in leather hand bag
from the bottom Of the harbor. 1t was
dragged to the surface very near the
point where Lewis w. Crawford and
William Howard, who have confessed
to disposing of the ds.nembered body
of the girl, said they dropped it from
the stern of an East Boston ferryboat.
The head completes the body of the
girl, The trunk was found on Septem-
Der 81 and the limbs were picked up
October 27. The leather bag in which
the head had been placed, together
with so pounds of loose shot, did not
move, apparently, from the place where
it sank.
The bag with its contents was taken
to Howard street undertaking estab-
lishment and will be viewed by Med
ical Examiner Francis A. Harris.
The head was in a good state of
preservation and it is thought by the
police that it will be readily recog-
nized as that of Miss Geary.
The police continued the search for
Mary S. Dean who is said to have had
charge of the home in which Miss
Geary died after being removed from
the fremont street resort.

A gas leakage in the basement of the

Gas was detected coming from the
building and two workmen went into
the basement with lighted candles to
investigate The flame evidently ig-

tremendous explosion followed The
two workmen were blown through a
