Can Live Without Spleen.

That a human being can live with
out spleen has been thoroughly
established. AT one TIME it was sup
posed that the spleen produced" the
red blood corpdscies of the white ones,
or charged the one into the other;
but since it is known that the bone
marrow has something to do with the
production OF corpuscies, and that
spleenless men can live in perfect
health, more operations are being per
formed for the removal of this organ.

BRAVE DECATUR.
The Story of His Fierce Attack on n
Tripclftan Vessel.

/
| Gardner w Allen i'll his book, "Our
| Navy and the Barbary Corsairs," re-
! tells the old story OF how Commodore
Stephen Decatur, then lieutenant IN
/ the United States navy, attacked a
ETripolitan vessel The incident occur
/ red in 1904, when Prebe was lying off
/ Trfpoli Young Decatur had been told
that the captain Of this vessel had
/ treacherously murdered his brother
John Decatur after he had surrendered
to him Mr.. Allen writes: '.He ran
alongside and at once boarded with
Macdonough and the remnant of his
crew. Decatur singled out the captain
attacked him furiously The Tripoli-
tan made thrust with his boarding
pike. and In attempting to parry tile
blow Decatur's cutlass was broken off
at the hilt, leaving him for the mo-
ment unarmed. Another thrust of the
pike wounded him in the arm. Decatur
seized the weapon, wrenched it away
and grappled with his antagonist. Aft
er a short struggle they fell to the deck,
with Decatur on top.
Meanwhile the two crews were fight
ing fllriously about their leaders, and
Tripolitan aimed a blow at Decatur's
head with his scimiter. when a seaman
named Daniel Frazier. having both
arms disabled by wounds, interposed
his head and received the blow. which
laid open the scalp. The Trpoitan
captain, being more powerful than De
catur, soon turned him underneath and,
holding him down with his left hand,
drew Il knife and was about to plunge
1t into his breast.
Decatur seized the uplifted arm
with his left hand, while he managed
to get his right into his pocket, where
he had pistol. Giving it the proper
direction, he fired through the pocket.
The giant relaxed his hold and fell
dead. Having lost seventeen killed, in
Guiding their leader, the seven surviv-
