PoLTE.-It was a sample of innate
politeness that tickled a crowd of pas
sengers. He was a big, good natured
son of Erin, going from his days
work and standing near the doorway
in the crowded car. She elbowed her
way in at the street crossing. resplend-
ent in her own beauty and her tailor
made suit. The men who had seats
were industriously pretending TO read
the papers, and she was beside the
workman when she ran her tightly
gloved little hand through a strap.
Its sorry 1 ON, mum. that l hev
no safe as 1 can git up and give yez,
but the Imply ones were took whin I
got aboard"
She blushingly assured him that she
was just as much obliged and then
smiled at him. when three men sud-
denly discovered her presence and In
sisted on her. having a seat.-Detroit

TEXANS IN TExAs.-"A native Texan
is almost an anomaly in Texas" said
F. 3. Wilkes, at the Lexington, yester-
day afternoon. THAT seems a strange
statement to make, but 1t is a very
true one, nevertheless. You know,
Texas is all comparatively new coun-
try. and most Of the people there are
from north Of that section. 1t will be
different in another generation, but to-
day the first thing one man asks an
other on being introduced to him is
Where are you from, sir?' 1t is told
of a certain preacher out there that
one Sunday when his church was pref
ty full. he asked:
How many native Texans are there
in this congregation
Seven men arose.
How many men are there here who
are not living under their own names?
MOI a man arose, but there was an
awful period Of suspense there for a
while. until the pastor gave out the
closing hymn."-Baltimore Sun.

PRETENDED TO OPERATE.
Fake Surgery Tried With Success IL
Some Cases of Hallueination.

According to Detroit surgeon, there
are many sane persons who, believing
that they are threatened with some
dangerous disease, insist on undergo
ing severe operations in order that
their lives may be saved.
I'VE do not really perform these
operations" he explains in the News
Tribune, but have assisted at many
imaginary ones to crafty the whim
Of a patient suffering from some form
of hysteria.
I'VE had a young girl here a year
ago with a most obstinate attack of
hysteria which took a very curious
FORM She would never lie down in
her bed, but invariably sat bolt upright
with her back against the foot rail,
constantly turning her head from side
to side like an automaton.
81 had watched her do this many
times, and one day l asked her why
she continued 1t, to which she replied
that there was a string in her head
which pulled it from side to side, and
that until 1t was cut she would have
no rest.
This remark gave me an idea, and
l asked If she would allow me to ex-
anime her head. She was perfectly
willing, and after an inspection lasting
twenty minutes l gravely announced
that she was quite right, and that the
only cure was slight operation in or
der to sever the string.
She clapped her hands with delight
like a child and declared that 1t was
what she had told several doctors. but
that they had all laughed at her.
Would / perform the operation at
once thought 1t better, however to
defer doing so until the morning, after
had consulted the visiting surgeons.
Having explained the circumstances,
the imaginary operation was agreed
young woman was led into the surgery,
placed upon the operating table and
anaesthetics were administered. Part
of her luxuriant brown hair was cut of
two inches above the nape of the neck
was shaved smooth.
Then, in order that there should be
something to show for the imaginary
operation, the scalp was lanced until
the blood ran, leaving a cut about two
and half inches in length. This was
bound but not strapped and the patient
was conveyed back to her bed, where
she remained for forty minutes before
returning to consciousness.
Meantime l had taken a piece Of an
ordinary E violin string about four
inches long and soaked it in water un-
til it resembled a raw sinew, the object
of this, of course, being to show the
patient the actual string taken out Of
her head. When she returned to con-
sciOusness she was told how entirely
successful the operation had been and
shown the string which had been tn.
cause of all her trouble, after which
she fell into a natural sleep and awoke
perfectly restored. From that day to
this she has been entirely cured Of
her hallucination."

END OF THE LUCY WALKER.
Steamboat Race on the Mississippi
That Cost Many Lives.

mar COST MANY Lives.
Passing the place a few days since
where this noted Cherokee Indian
used to live, we were reminded Of
of the history and tragic death Of the
man, Joe Vann, who was the most
noted Cherokee Of his time. He used
to live about three miles below Fort
Gibson, opposite the mouth OF Bayou
Manard, on the opposite side of the
Arkansas river.
He owned 500 slaves, 800 Of whom
were men. He had thousands Of
acres Of land, many cattle and horses,
some being racing stock. He owned
the finest steamboat that came up
the Arkansas river to Fort Gibson,
when the United States government
had a line of boats to this place to
supply the large garrison then sta
toned here. This boat was named
the Lucy Walker, and in those days
was noted for her speed. She ran
between Fort Gibson and lower Mis-
sissippi ports, even to New Orleans,
carrying passengers and freight.
Vann was a strange Indian, unlike
any known before or since, and was
known as a dead game SPORT
open hearted, brave and generous to
fault. He was good to all his
slaves, and they all liked him and
obeyed him In anything. He won
and lost large sums on horse racing
and gambling, but 1t was all the
same to him, for he kept up his end
Of the sport at all times and seasons.
This was along In the sos and 40's,
not long after the Cherokees took
possession of this country.
Vann had one fault, which ulti-
mately caused his tragic death. He
could not brook a boasting rival and
would not take a dare" While his
steamboat had no rival for speed on
the Arkansas river, from its mouth at
the Mississippi to Little Rock and
Fort Gibson, there were two or three
on the Mississippi river between st.
Louis and New Orleans. One of
these boats, said to be the fastest on
the river, attempted to pass him on
the way down.
Vann had a crew of thirty negroes,
said to have no superiors on the river
He told the boys that the Lucy Walk
er must be kept ahead, no matter al
what cost An allowance Of grog
was given to each, and all promised
to stand up to the work. The rival
boat was gaining on them. The usual
fuel failed to give her sufficient speed
Vann went around and told the
nanQS 10 BdlHeT up tNciJthiiib tho'
would burn. Tar and bacon was
thrown into the furnace, and soon
the Lucy Walker was forging ahead
Of her rival.
Timbers Of the boat creaked and
groaned. The furnace was red hot
The boilers were seething and foam
ing. The heat was terrific. The
passengers, of whom there were
about $50, became alarmed, but Vanr
was as cool as a cucumber. He told
the negro crew that they would beat
the rival boat, or all go to hades to.
geCher, and they promised to stanc
by him.
About that time there was an aw'
full explosion, and there was nothing
left Of the Lucy Walker but the scat
tered fragments. Most Of the negro
crew were blown to atoms, beside!
about forty passengers dead and
nearly all more or less injured
Vann's body was found horribl!
mangled. Gibson Post.

HALF OF Hrs FEE.-John had the
name Of being the jolliest man in town.
But tonight, which was apparently the
worst night in the year, even John
wore a long face, and as he swung his
cab door open for the minister to enter
Johns doleful expression was so no
ticeable that the minister inquired If
he were thinking about the work OF
cleaning of the mud in the morning.
mo. 1t is not the work that am
thinking Of II I could make as much
as you this evening wouldn't mind it
a bit"
well" replied the minister. II am
to marry couple this evening, and
I'll give you half of my fee for drlv-
ing me out andsback."
1T is a DEAL. replied John.
After an hour Of dreary driving
through cold and rain John drew up In
front of a small house in which the
service was to take place. 1t was two
long hours Of cold waiting before the
minister re-entered the cab, and the
home drive was made. With a spirit Of
expectancy John once more swung
open the cab door in front of the min
ister's house. The minister stepped
out, and as he entered his own door he
turned and said:
Five hundred thanks, John" leaving
the bewifdeFed cabman to figure out
what his exact fee had been.-San
Francisco Call.

SIZING THEM UP.-Not long ago Gov
ernor Folk of Missouri, upon reaching
his office at the Capitol in company
with a friend, found a number of men
waiting in the ante-roOm. He paused
as he passed through, and made a
joke that was a decided chestnut
When the governor and his friend
were in the private office, the friend
remarked:
Say, that was a fearful old one you
got off just now"
II know it," was the complacent re-
ply.
Then why did you do t?" the puz-
zled friend asked.
did you notice which of those fel-
lows laughed? Well, they are the
ones who have favors to ask" was the
planation-Harper's Weekly.
