Fond OF Old Stories.

Senator Depew. while acting a
president Of the New York Central
road. was approached for a pass to
Syracuse three years In succession by
q man with the same pitiful tale Of q
mothers illness and the strong desire
Of the applicant to see her once again,
says the New York Times. Through
his sympathe nature he had yielded
each year. but upon the last occasion
with an admonition that the applica.
ton should never be renewed. Much
to his surprise, upon entering his Of
fice one morning the following year he
found the applicant, with identically
the same recital.
"How dare you come here again
with that old story?" he exclaimed.
"Why, Mr.. Depew," blandly replied
the applicant, II though that you
were fond Of old stories"
The cloud fell from Chauncey's face,
smile overspread his features which
broadened into hearty laugh. and as
soon as he could recover himself he
sat down and wrote out the annual
pass.

At the inquest at Penge 1t was stat
ed that he fell of an omnibus with his
full weight on to his arms. He re-
ceived internal injuries, and the post
mortem examination showed that a
slit in the heart, probably due to the
accident, had been gradually extended
by the hearts action.
The wonderful skill Of modern sur
geons has proved that It Is possible for
man to live with hole in his heart,
Some time ago. 1t will be remembered.
remarkable operation was performed
upon male patient In the London hos
pital, who had been stabbed to the
heart in q street brawl. The case was
taken in hand the moment the patient
entered the hospital, and a metal plate
was placed over the heart after 1t had
been sewn up. The man recovered,
and 10 now alive and well, with the
metal plate still over his heart. He
was recently arrested for burglary and
is serving term Of imprisonment. Tho
success Of this case was attributed to
the fact that his case was attended to
almost Immediately after the wound
was inflicted.
Modern surgeons have learned their
share of the lessons Of the South Afri.
can war. Patients were received in
the hospitals with the most extraordi.
nary wounds. A soldier entered one Of
the London hospitals with a wound an
his upper lip and another at the bot
tom Of the left shoulder. He said a
bullet had entered his mouth when be
was lying down and had passed clean
through his body. injuring some Of the
arteries neaE the heart. The only after
effect he suffers from IL a pain in the
left arm.

AUTOS HAUL ROAD CAR TRAIN
An Invention Of French Onlcer Adopt.
ed by the German Army.

An Invention Of French Officer Adopt.
ed by the German Army.
The latest development Of the auto
mobile is its use in furnishing the mo-
tive power for a train of road cars.
The new device Is the invention Of Col.
Renard Of the French army, and has
been adopted for use In the German
army.
In similar experiments made in the
past, says Public Opinion, the difficulty
has been to secure a tractor of suffi-
Gent lightness to avoid damage to the
roadbed and to bridges. Col. Renard
has Obviated this by employing his
motor car as generator Of power,
which is transmitted to the others by
means Of longitudinal shaft univer-
sally Jointed SO as to permit the train
to make sharp curves.
The reports from France and Ger
many on the tests that have been
made state that the steering Of the
entire train was as simple as the dl.
rection Of a single car all the We
hicles following the leader without
skidding or loss Of space at the turn.
As the first car had no pulling to per-
form, but only furnishes the power for
the others, It may be made as light as
an ordinary automobile, good results
being obtained in the trials with a
car weighing only $500 pounds. A
speed Of sixteen miles an hour was
maintained over ordinary roads.
While the German government ex-
poets to use the Renard invention for
only military purposes, it is anticipat-
ed that 1t will be as serviceable in in
dustrial uses and for the conveyance
Of passengers. For the carriage of
passengers between railroad points the
only expense would be that of equip
ping and maintaining the rolling stock.
The Renard principle. 1t should be
noted, 10 applicable also to mixed
trains made up Of motor cars and a
few ordinary trailers, and to trains
running on rails. II 1t is desired the
motor generator may be omitted and
the power derived from some external
source and transmitted as for trolley
cars. The German experiments with
trackless trolleys have shown the pos
sibility Of this adaptability Of Col.
Renard's invention.

Donald was very unhappy, and there
