secure walls of an asylum. An insomniac weak
ling, whose strength is maintained by sapping
the vitality of the wholesome creatures with
whom he surrounds himself who engages his
secretary a man whom he knows to be in love
with, and the natural mate of, his wife, in order
TO enjoy Vicarously the atmosphere Of senu-
nent which he himself is incapable of creating,
and incidentally to gloat over the misery Of
his victims is neither instructive nor enter
tanning person for consideration in fiction of the
type which Mr.. Benson is capable of writing
Yet granting the situation which he has thus
factitiousiy constructed, the author succeeds in
developing a realistic and vivid drama of normal
human emotions, one strong enough to stand by
itself without the prop of abnormaty around
which he has chosen TO build it.
Mr.. Payne has followed the current fashion
in taking the questions involved in political re-
form as the basis of his novel, When Love
Speake" He has however, departed some
what from the beaten track in the effort to
show that these questions may have more than
one side and that the unsWerving fidelity to
principle which oYerlookS the human and emo
tionaI factors involved in many political prob
lens may but imperfectly fulfil its functions
The book undertakes no defence of the corrupt
practices against which the better element
of the country is actively opposed. Indeed the
methods and characters Of the corTuptIonsts are
exhibited in q particularly odious light Yet the
author is also at pains to show that the spirit
and the letter of the law are not Invariably IN
harmony and that the stckler for the latter
who fails to take into consideration the per
sonaI equation that exists in all matters involv-
ing the actions of men and women will also
often do injustice to individuals as well as to
the cause which he has at heart Mr.. Payne is
ingeniousy plausible in constructing the stua-
tions in which the hero-an impulslve and
thoroughly well-intentioned young man. striving
to live I'D to the Ioftily academic standards of
his wife-finds himself compelled TO take action
contrary to her wishes; and the denouement in
which she is brought TO acknowledge his right
TO an independent judgment. is effectively con-
trived The scene of the story is laid in Mich
gan and the people and incidents described are
typically representative of conditions in the
Middle West with which Mr. Payne is familiar.

AS in most of his recent stories, MIR. Benson
contrives to magnify the interest in his latest
novel by seeking his effects just outside the pale
of human experience. Oriental mysticism cast
glamour over THE Image in the Sand; classical
mythology invaded to resurrect the great
god Pan in 'The Angel of Pain" and in Paul
the author revives the soul Of the vampire in
the body of the man through whose agency is
brought about the situation upon which hangs
the plot. The result is less happy than that
achieved in either of the other tales mentioned.

SAW HIS OWN ARM TAKEN OFF.
Patient in Hospital Conscious Through
out Long Operation.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Nov. 19.-Joseph
Cleft, % years old, Of 40 Tenth street,
Long Island city, was the subject of
an unusual operation in st. Johns hos
pital. He had his left arm amputated
above the elbow and was conscious
throughout the entire operation, which
took over an hour and in which he took
lively interest. Cocaine was used in
stead Of ether, which took the opera
ton out Of the ordinary.
The surgeons say they used a 1 per
cent solution of cocaine, and that al
together not more than one and a half
grains were administered to the pa
tient. AS each nerve was uncovered,
it was cocainized separately, until
finally the cocainizing was finished
and the arm taken of. Cleft said he
felt no more pain than If he had
stubbed his toe or bitten his tongue.

ROCKEFELLER BEATS PoAcHERs
Court UphoIds His Right to Keep Them
Off Preserve.

ALBANY, Nov. 19-The court of
appeals handed down a decision today
upholding William Rockefeller's right
to keep poachers off his Adirondack
preserve.
Oliver Lamora, who lives near the
preserve in Franklin county, was pros
ecuted for fishing thereon and Rookie
Teller got a verdict Of IS cents damage
and $3.50 costs. Rockefeller has had
much trouble protecting the privacy Of
his preserve and in guarding his fish
and game. Adirondack natives and
guides for some years have been COM
ing over his way and have been caus-
ing private preserve owners much
trouble, and the feeling became in
tense enough some time ago to result
in the shooting of a New York city
preserve owner named Dexter.

w. Richard on Time Freight No. IS,
west-bound, was run over and killed
at a point one mile east Of Reverse at
Z o'clock yesterday morning.
The accident was due to Burton los

be out on his train when passing the
station, and in some way lost his bal

the entire train passed over his body
which was terribly mangled when il
was picked up.
No one saw the accident happen and
the body was not discovered until ex.

minutes behind No. SIS, had run onto
it and the engine and nine cars of this
train passed over it before the engineer

Some Recent Inventions.

A transparent mica fireshield, to be
used in theaters instead of the asbes-
tos curtain in case Of fire. This
would shut of the draft into the audi
forum, permit sufficient light to come
through to enable the audience to es-
cape and the firemen to extinguish the
fire.
A combined lunchpail and lantern for
night workers. The flame of the Ian
tern heats the coffee and other food.
Electrical process for producing hy-
drate of calcium for balloons. A piece
as big as ones fist with water added
will liberate 1000 liters Of gas to in
fate balloon. Instead Of three
wagons to haul material for each mill
tary balloon, one wagon will now suf
flee. Hydrolite, as tie substance is
commercially known, acts as calcium
carbide does in throwing off acetylene
gas.
Glass tube apparatus for drawing of
in domestic milk bottles.
New roofing material made Of sheet
steel, enamel and asbestos pressed into
solid mass.
An insubmersible suit to save sail
ors in case Of sudden accidents. The
apparatus, which can be fixed to the
body in few seconds, is like pillow
It has compartments for drinking
water, beer, a rope, knife and an in

The Dymond brothers were members
of a gang Of horse thieves and robbers
who for several months last summer
kept the farmers of the Yakima valley
terroized. At one time they were en-
gagged in a pitched battle with band
of Indians from whom they had stolen
four fine horses. Johnny McKerrall,
one of the gang, was shot by an In
dian and captured. He afterward
pleaded guilty.
George and Clifford Dymond es-
capped from the posse and were at
large for three months. Finally Sheriff
Mcneil Of Benton county, and Sheriff
John Edwards of Yakima county, came
upon the Dymond boys in camp. Be-
fore the brothers could draw their
guns the officers had them covered
and the fugitives surrendered.
