INSPECTOR WELLS
OPERATED UPON

An operation was performed on H.
NJ. Wells. the school inspector, at the
Queens Hospital yesterday in hopes of
curing the after results of his recent
serious accident on Maui. An inquiry
OF the hospital as to his condition last
night was met with a reference to DR..
Warehouse. who is IN charge OF the
case, but the doctor could not be
reached. When Mr.. Wells was brought
to town last week he had not fully re-
covered his faculties. although he was
able TO recognize his relatives and in
innate friends.

THE EDITOR AT HOME

Well here we are at the old desk
again. Really one of the chief
pleasures of little trip is the
happy sensation of the return and
the chucking down in the old ruts
and again taking up the familiar
grind
We believe we have not imbibed
many of the millioner habits during
our short visit to the east, though
we do notice that our hat does not
sit on our head as it used to but has
an inclination to pitch forward over
our eyes and our hair inclines to
part in the middle, and the tooth
pick will get between the first and
second flyer. We hope to correct
these tendencies in time.
We really enjoyed our trip and
feel better for the vacation. Next
week we will try and give our read
ers few little gleanings picked up
on the way.

Atchison Globe: An Atchison
preacher makes as many enemies
when he breaches funeral sermon
as woman makes when she gives
party. He preached one lately over
woman who had suffered from a
lingering illness. During sickness
her husband had been devoted to her.
For seventeen weeks every time she
had turned in bed her husband had
lifted her. Night after night he had
watched over his suffering wife. For
several days before the woman's
death she knew she had only a short
time to live, but a preacher was
not sent for until after her death,
when one was asked to preach the
funeral sermon. The woman left a
large family and many friends. The
preacher was expected to say some
thing to console her friends and
relatives, but, instead, he took &C.
casion to lecture those who were
with the woman at the last for not
sending for preacher to talk to her,
and to administer communion. He
said the woman's husband had been
guilty of cruel neglect, and that the
woman had been kept under the in
fuence of opiates or she would have
asked for preacher. The woman's
relatives are very indignant. They
say she took no opiates and did not
ask for a preacher; that she was
conscious every moment and used
her strength in saying good bye to
those she loved; that had she asked
for a preacher they would gladly
have gratified her wish, but. as it Is,
they regret having had one for the
funeral.

tuition and whined that it could not
come to the relief of its own strick-
en- and desola:e city. The self-sa
rifcing charity to which we refer
was that of the railroads-American
railroads, if you please.
The twin devil of hurricane and
tidal wave, that demolished twenty
millions of property and seventy
five hundred lives at Galveston,
destroyed every foot of trestle and
every span of iron that let the rail
roads over the bay from the main
land to Galveston Island, These
railroads asked for no public sym
pathy, and they knew the public
would not help them. Stouter OF
heart than that, and seasoned to
disaster by bitter experiences, they
set about repairing the disaster
without hesitation. One of them
the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe,
reconstructed its outlet to the main
land before the smoke from the
funeral pyres of the dead on the
island had ceased to float out to sea.
All of them carried the homeless
survivors of the Galveston disaster
to friends and relatives in the inter
ior, as far as their lines extended,
and then still other lines picked the
refugees up in free and welcoming
cars and hurried them forward to
their destination. Meantime, these
railroads brought in the military,
and stores, and supplies to the dazed
men and women of the island who
had begun the task of rehabilitation.
And all this without one dollar OF
compensation, and without the hope
of reward of any kind.
These great systems traverse
miles and miles of unproductive ter
rltory on their way to the Pacific.
Their cost of operation is terrific;
and these lines represent the best
daring and the most engaging op
timism that have ever been mani
tested in railway construction
When they turned over their trains,
equipment and employees to San
Francisco, they displayed a charity
beside which individual charity is
almost inconsequential, as fine and
laudable as it has been.

and they are all-sufficient to this
inquiry. Stand up, Galveston.
Stand up, San Francisco! You can

Make them, and silence, if you may,

ors with whom to sheer at virtue is
a habit and lugratitude a constitu-
tional quality.-The Current Issue,
