Wonders of Surgery.

Surgeons who by few deft slashes
of their knife are making good little
boys out of bad little boys are going to
try to make the monkey talk by re-
building his nose so that it will look
more like the one that the prize fighter
wears when he sits for his photograph
These things, in addition to several
little hints that the knife doctors have
carelessly dropped on the floor, lead US
to believe that surgery is only in its
infancy.
Doubtless the surgeon of the future
will saw off the tops of our heads, lift
out the gray matter and supply us with
a new kind when we want to change
our moods. Possibly some pink con-
volutions when we want to go in So
ciety, a bright red for the purpose of
attending the ball game and a pale blue
when we would write poetry. The
man of the future may go about with
the different kinds of brains he wants
to use for different occasions packed IN
his suit case. Who knows?

The Territorial Delegate.

Alaska is engaged in the harmless
though exciting pastime this summer of
electing delegate to congress. not so
much for the purpose of demonstrating
that the ballot is mightier than the six
shooter, but rather to be in the swim
with the rest of the territories.
The territorial delegate is quite harm
less. He doesn't have a chance to vote
and all he has to do is to look inter
ested and draw his salary. 1t is not
against the law for him to look intelli-
gent, but that is not required by the
rules and regulations.
Outside of owning a life insurance
company or drugstore in prohibition
territory there is probably no snap like
being a territorial delegate. Nobody
asks him to explain his vote as he has
none to explain, so his record always
looks as though it had been scrubbed
with securing brick. Is it any wonder
that every broken down politician in
the territory wants the job?

her glance back again. No she said
very slowly. You are not too old. But
there are times when age-and things
like age-are not the real consideration.
1t seems to me that your own inclina-
ton, your own individual sense OF
right and wrong, has nothing to do

ton is whether you are justified in go

steadily upon his-"whether you are

he had been dimly filled with the be

strength-a depth-uneommon in wo-
