delphia, who at the age of 76 is bringing
out his eighteenth book of fiction. Litera-
ture was his choice wheE a young man.

letters for materia medica. Later, when
he had become a pathologist OF renown, he
considered his own case and advised Dr.
Mitchell to become Novelist Mitchell The
result is novelist-physician, recognized
everywhere that the science Of medicine is
worthy OF the term, while the physician

heTitance a grandee OF Spain and a guest

Cat stop. Music in Church.

A large white cat was the innocent cause
of the suspension Of music in ST. Lukes
Lutheran church at York, Pa. When the
organist attempted to play an anthem the
keys refused to respond to her touch.
After an embarrassing interval the pas
tor came to the relief of the organst and
choir by saying the selection would be dis
pensed with.
Every attempt to bring melody from the
organ failed. and then an investigation
was made. 1t was found that a large
white cat had crawled into the interior Of
the big instrument, where Il was perchcd
on the back OF the keyboard.

The Brandeis firm considers this policy
Of buying strictly in harmony with the
broad character of the new store. This
great emporium, which will open early in
october, will occupy the largest, most mod
ern store building west of Chicago The
stock is to be all new and it will be
bought chiefly in Paris. London and New
York. There is a stroke Of business fore
sight in selecting goods abroad and ship
ping direct in bond to Omaha, inasmuch
as 1t saves a great percentage Of expense
attached to European goods. BY this
direct shipment of goods and payment of
duty in Omaha, all middlemen's profits
are avoided and imported goods can be
secured more reasonably than is ever pos

that the shipping of the world, which
streamed through the Golden Gate for the
purpose of taking part in the wonderful

advance, might find place for the discharge
of its rich cargoes, four miles Of the bay

sweeping everything before it and threat

A shnrp RebuISe.

The late Senator ingalls, was unable to
restrain his propensity to indulge in sar-
casm. This habit eventually lost him his
place and his popularity. On one occa-
sion an intimate friend wrote to him urg-
ing the appointment Of another friend to
a position under the government To this
letter the senator returned a very sar-
castle answer. and received the following
reply: MY Dear Senator: / think it
would be well for you to reserve your
sarcasm for the rapidly increasing num-
Der OF your enemies instead OF offering It
TO the decreasing number OF your friends

Dr. Richard Hart, hospital surgeon, sewed
six stitches in the organ and then re-
placed It in the body.
Wyatt, who was first thought to have
been fatally cut. is reported to be resting
comfortably and the physicians say they
have every reason to believe the operation
was successful. and the patient will re-
cover.
1t was the third time such an operation
has been performed in Philadelphia. Wyatt
and a friend were scuffiing for possession
Of a long knife when the former slipped and
fell on its point. DR.. Hart made an incision
in Wyatts left side long enough to put his
hand through, and. taking out the heart,
placed it upon the palms OF his two as
sistants, and there it lay, throbbing vigor-
ously as It sent the blood coursing through
the arteries.
