Of gifts reach the immense figure of
$65. .104,432. or $137 minute.

probable that the multiplicity Of small
donations would raise the total by
$40 100000 at least. Individual givers.

WONDERFUL SKIN GRATING.

A dispatch from Chicago to the
New York World says: After FIVE
months of wonderful surgery and
careful nursing. in which time many
records for skin grating have been
surpassed, a five-year-old Chicago boy.
Marion Weaver, has had his little body
covered with a new suit Of skin.
Upon his chest abdomen. back and
sides 2l9 square inches Of new skin
have been grated. while over 100
square inches more have been used in
vain attempt to implant them upon
his small body.
His father Rev. William X. Weaver,
pastor of the Ninth PRESBYTERIAN
church, and his four brothers have
suffered their arms and legs to be
stripped OF long ribbons Of skin to
form the new covering for the little

A MARK FOR MAGICIANs.
The Modsst. Retiring Men IL Always
Singled Out as a Fit Subject
for Experiments.

"I have the vaudeville habit" said
diffident. mild man. relates the Phi.a-
delphia Record. Every week you may
see me beaming in box at some vaude-
vile performance. but iremble with
fear when / see by my programme
that a magician is to come on.
For my nature is retiring; | .ove TO
blush unseen. but msgicians invariably
single me out and make me help them
in their tricks.
Last week. for instance. ! stood in
the front of nv box for quite two min
utes. holding al arms length a huge
paper bag containing an egg. Ny hand
and wrist .ooked extremely red and
bony; the thought that the audience
was regarding their ugliness fixed me
with shame.
Yesterday female magician at this
theater made tea out OF sand. and be-
gan to pass il around to assure the
audience of it's reality. Would she
tackle me? drew back in the hadow.
but her eye caught mine somehow. and
she advanced to the box rail from the
stage. extending her tray. Please
try my tea. sir she said. and grinued
awkwardly and took one of the cups.
In full view of the audience / drank It.
and felt ike a fool.
Hang these magicians, l say! l
don't go to the theater to make an
embarrassed ass of myself in helping
them to earn their pay"

A MODEL HOTEL CLERK.
He Has . Phenomenal neDory and
HI Cheery Manners GLADDEN.
HE Guests.

The hotel clerk stood behind his
little bar. and, one after another,
the guests arrived. Thus, smiling af-
fably, did the hotel clerk handle
them, says the Philadelphia Record.
"Ar. A., I'm glad to see you. Will
you have your old room, 3O4. again?
Good It's vacant. fortunately
How do you do. Mr.. b? There are
five letters waiting for you i
rather expected you tonight, so ]

Would you like 2ss again? All right.

think you'd visit us this winter. One
of your men told us about your ty-
phoid fever siege. think you're
looking mighty well. all things con-
sidered."
Very wonderful was the hotel
clerks memory, and very pleasant
was the effect of it upon the faces
of the guests. Their worn and har-
ried look vanished; they smiled; it
delighted them to be welcomed so
agreeably. And thus does the typ
ical hotel clerk of the big city con-
duct himself always, doing more by
his tremendous memory and tremen-
dous tact than any other employe
to help his boss get rich.

President Roosevelt's .
Peculiar Methods.


While Theodore Roosevelt is nc
lawyer, he is, nevertheless, a law
unto himself To him precedent is
nothing-prejudice and partiality
everything.
A notable instance of his pecu.
liarities in this direction is to be
found in the manner in which he has
seen fit to boost a certain Captain
Pershing over the heads Of officers
grown gray in the service, into the
proud position of brigadier-general.
This officer-hitherto utterly un'
known-has by virtue of the authority
thrown away on President Roosevelt
secured his undeserved promotion at
the expense of no less than PSI cap
tains, 364 majors, 1877 lieutenant.
colonels, and LILO colonels-a grand
total Of S6S officers, all of whom were
by every rule Of equity entitled to take
precedence Of the Presidents pet.
What these officers think of the
manner in which they have been rele-
gated to the rear, will never be
known. Their lips are sealed, but it is
safe to say that as a means of pro-
noting esprit de corps in our army
the Presidents course is open to criti
cism.
But what else was to have been ex,
pected Of man whose egotism is out
of all proportion to his ability? As
the Montgomery Advertiser we'll says:
There Is no reason for surprise in
connection with this Pershing affair
for 1t Is by no means the first per
formance of the kind. No President
has ever had more to say about a
square DEAL" and few have so thor.
ougly disregarded it. The appoint
ments or advancement of Grant, and
Wood and Mills and Funston and 9th,
ers we might name afford ample evi
dence Of that fact that Roosevelt re,
wards his favorltes in the army witl-
out regard to their services and ap.
parently Indifferent to the gross in
justice of jumping an officer over the
ASauS VI oSOiCS WuO uIt uOL Ouly III
the line Of promotion but who are far
more entitled to it as an act of justice
and for the good of the service than
Is the one thus singled out
No one need be at all surprised to
learn that there are some politics
in this little Pershing deal.
The captain-or, rather brigadier,
general-is son-in-law of Senator
Warren, of Wyoming; and when it is
said that Senator Warren is chairman
OF the Senate committee on military
affairs, the sort OF milk contained il
this little presidential cocoanut may
readily be imagined.
President Roosevelt has had a good
deal to say about purity in politics
and giving every man a square deal.
but II he can come no nearer the mark
than this, he should lose no time in
selecting another text the next time
he plays to the gallery.
