boy Kings Fatal GRlIantry.

Little Olive Marsh had been crowned
Queen Of the May at Franz Sigel Park in
The Bronx OF Monday afternoon by Nathan
lei Stolzenber ger, when a gust came along
and carried the bright emblem of royalty
over an embankment. The gallant seven
year-old king leaped after il, while all the
little h~akebelieve subjects screamed.
They found the little king at the base Of
the steep twenty foo hill very white and
quiet with the crown in his hands. A police
man saw them gathered aroun the king
and called an ambulance, which took him
to the Lebanon Hospital. The king never
opened his eyes again and died in the
evening. All his playmates Of his class in
Public School 3. at 18TH street and Co TT
landt avenue. will attend his funeral to-day
at the Church Of the Immaculate Concep-

Little Olive Marsh will be among the
mourners, and maybe the paper crown the
little king died to save will be put upon his
coffin,

LONDON, May 2?.-Some Of the hospitals
here are employing for operations an un-
named surgeon who has perfected a method
of incising the skin without leaving a visible
scar. His success il mainly ~attributable
to his skill and experience, but his method
il based on the practice Of cutting the kin
slantwise instead Of at right angles to the
surface. He Uses hollowground scalpels.
made after his W designs.
His share in the operations consists OF
making the first incision and in joining the
edges Of the skin after the operation.
Perfect contact Of the edges of the skin Is
obtained under a lens. Then a rigid dress
ing is applied in such a manner as TO pre-
vent the skin contracting. Considerable
pressure is employed. Sometimes massage
forms part of the healing treatment. 1t is
said that old scars from operations can be
removed by this method, which, 1t is de-
clared, is one Of the most important adj
vances made in surgery in recent years.

General Lee at tho Battle
of the Wilderness


The history Of the great conflict IN
which Southern soldiers fought for
the independence of the South con
tains no record of greater sacrifices
made by patriots, or more invIncible
courage displayed on the part OF the
soldiers Of either side than charac.
terized the experiences of the Texans
who participated In that memorable
struggle. One of the grandest and
most touching Incidents illustrating
the dauntless bravery OF the Texas
soldiers and their unfaltering devo-
ton to the cause for which they
fought, was the action of Hood 5
Texas Brigade in the battle OF the
Wilderness when their noble com
mander, the immortal Lee, under
took to 20 to the front of the army
to lead in the charge and was re-
strained by them and held back
while they made the charge,
A beautiful poem recountlng this
sublime incident was read by n
young lady year or two ago at Il
Confederate reunion In West Virginia
and at request OF Captain Bobbitt,
commander OF Stonewall Jackson
Camp, we reproduce 1t.
The poem reads as follows:
There. he stood, the grand old hero,
great Vlrginia's God-like son,
Second unto none in glory, equal to
her Washington
Guxing on his line OF battle, as it
wavered to and fro,
Meath the front and flank advances
Of an almost conquering foe
Calm rs was that clear May morning
ere the furious death-roar broke
From the iron-throated war lions
crOuching meath the clouds OF
smoke;
Cool as though the battle raging
was but mimicry OF fight,
Each brigade an ivory castle and
each regiment II knight
Chatting in reserve beside him, two
brigades of Texans lay,
All impatient for their portion OF the
fortune of the day
Shot and shell are 'mong them falling
yet unmoved they silent stand,
Longing. eager for the battle, but
awaiting hiscommand.
Suddenly he rode before them, us the
forward line gave way,
Raised his hat with cOurtly gesture,
Follow me and save the day."
But as though by terror stricken
still and silent stand that troop,
who were wont to rush to battle
with n wild, avenglng whoop.
1t was but single moment, then a
murmur through them ran,
heard above the cannons' roaring as
1t passed from man to man:
"You go back and Wen go forward"
now the waiting leader hears,
Mixed with deep, impatient sobbing,
as OF strong men moved to tears.

mense plains down in that coun-

went there somewhat preiudiced
but we had a good deal of this
feeling removed after seeing
the country. The country we
live IN up in Iowa is a garden
spot where the farm improve
ments are as fine as can be
found anywhere. We raise bum
per crops up there and land is
high priced. But that Farmland

PlOwed Eighty Seven Miles

J. P. Wood who recently
graded several Of Hereford's
principal streets, has just finish
ed a contract with the PeCos
Valley Railroad, by which he
plowed the fire guard from Can
yon City to Cameo, New Mexico,
running a furrow or both sides
of the road, the power used be.
ing a twenty horse power
engine. There is nothing out Of
the ordinary in blowing a fire
guard, but in connection with
this particular instance, there
is something unusual-some-
thing which could not occur
anywhere else in the United
States outside Of the Panhandle.
MIR. Woods tells us that ia the

ed to take his pillow out of the
ground on account of the nat
ural lay of the same only one
time which was in crossing the
TERRA Blanco river at Hereford.

visited the great Panhandle,
but it is true nevertheless. 1t
is in this country where big
things are being done.-Here-
