IN THE NAME OF CHARITY.
Jack London's Story Carries Sting %
Truth and Pathos.

slack London's famous definition of
charity-'sharing a bone with a dog
when you're as hungry as the dog
recalls a story about charity" said a
magazine editor, that heard Mr.. Lon
don tell at a farewell dinner in New
York before he sailed away on the
Spark.
"Mr. London said two old men were
smoking and drinking together after
dinner.
"The host rang the bell end an old
woman appeared.
"'Confound you. stupid said the
host. Didn't tell you l wanted the
Scotch? Take this back, and bring
what asked for. you old fool!'
"'Come, come said the. guest, after
the old woman had hurried away in a
great fright. Come, come, my friend.
don't you think you are rather too
sharp with your old servant?'
"'Oh,' said the other. she's not a
servant. She's only poor relation
I'm keeping out of charity
THE guest looked relieved.
THAT alters the case, of course hs
said. "-Washington Times.

the same time a loss OF sc children
under 81 years of age.
That Evanston is a woman's para
disc is shown in the census revelation
that there are 1868 more females than
males in the city. Last year the pre-
ponderance of women was only 1,456,
but with AZ men gone there were
enough females born or who moved
into the town to add 512 to their ma
jority. In fact, the city's growth has
been entirely among its feminine pop
ulation, no male having arrived to re-
place the AZ who departed. So the
women have brought the total figures
to 24,324, an increase Of 42S over last
year.
IF the women continue TO in
crease and the men continue to de-
crease the situation will offer a prob
lem too deep for even President
Roosevelt" said one observer. mo
matter how much the women might be
inclined toward matrimony, their OPP
portunities are lacking. Evanston Will
become an old maids home"
A circumstance that has proved a
surprise is the growth of race suicide
among the negro population. Mr.. Nc
Culloch said that on Benson avenue.
and in other districts occupied by ne
groes, the number of children was sur
prisingly small, not larger, in fact,
than in the homes of the rich whites.
Almost the only exception to the rule
of small families among negroes was
in the home of Rev. Mr.. Gales, pastor
of the Second Baptist church, where
there was family of eight children.
University students were not In
cluded in the census. Had they been.
the total population would have been
nearly 1000 greater and the dispropor'
ton of women even larger.

Binder Irvine Project.


There is a remote possibility that

member of the prison board of con-
troll, speaking of the bill passed by the

the board was held at the prison to
discuss the matter, and Gov. Warner
and Atty. Gen. Bird were present.
Even Mr.. Bird thought the statute

months are required to secure the

PHILADELPHIA PHYSICIANS.
Negro Afflicted with Aneurism of the
Aorta-SIver Thread Is Coied

Taken Out Again.

adelphia.-Nature and a silver
wire 20 feet long saved the life of
Fred Williams at the end of one of
the most remarkable operations on
record.
1t was for aneurism of the aorta,
and was performed on Williams in
the Medico-Chirurgical hospital by DR..
James p. Mann.
Williams, who is 80 years old. ne
gro barber and a man of wonderful
vitality, noticed a swelling on his
breast some time ago. and went to the
Medico-Chirurgical hospital. There he
was placed upon the operating table
without having been etherized. hol
low needle was plunged into the aorta
and through this the silver wire was
fed from a spool. The thickness OF
the wire was about that of a No. so
cotton thread. AS the wire was fed
into the great blood vessel IL coiled
itself closely in the form of cylinder.
which fitted exactly the inner surface
of the affected part.
Then the needle was withdrawn and
dressed.
The process that was then set up in
the weakened part was this:
The blood clotted over the wire and
organized" a new wall, strengthening
that which had been weakened by the
aneuritic growth.
The operation was performed two
months ago. Last week he came into
the hospital with blood triokling
steadily from pin hole in his chest
The inferno and the nurses who saw
the trickle were alarmed and sent for
the surgeons.
Again Williams was placed upon the
operating table. The blood was found
to be coming from a wound from
which protruded the tip Of the silver
wire that had been coiled inside his
aorta. With infinite care the whole
strand was taken out, and then. to the
amazement of everybody. the bleeding
stopped.
There Is every indication that the
barber is now absolutely well, and
that the new inner coating OF the
aorta is sufficiently strong to reinforce
the weakened tissue that lies outside

Chicago.-Evanston, north shore

gaining in feminine population, is los

confronted with race suicide.
This situation, regarded by sociolo-
gists as affording food for reflection,
was revealed the other day with the
completion of the city's annual school

The figures showed an increase of
470 in the feminine population, de-

only seven in the number under 81

Commission Asks Decision.

Attorney General Bird has been
called upon by the state tax COM
mission to decide whether, under the
law, attorneys for electric railway
companies may make complaint of un-
equal assessments and secure a re-
view of the tax rolls in the townships
through which roads represented by
them may run. The question becomes
important in view of the provision of
the law that only resident taxpay-
ers" may complain of assessments.
The attorney general may hold that
this provision of the law which is a
part of the Galbraith act partially
knocked out by the supreme court is
not constitutional, as it does not give
all taxpayers the equal benefit of the
laws of the state. The state tax COM
mission asserts that the law certainly
against non-residents. The Grand
Rapids, Grand Haven &c Muskegon
Electric Railway company is one of
the complainants against assessments
in several townships. The Detroit,
Jackson & Chicago Interurban COM
pany complains of an over-assessment
in Ypsilanti, and the Niles, South
Bend G. st. Joseph Interurban COM
pany also has grievances. Henry
Richardi. wealthy taxpayer in For
est Home township. Antrim county,
has filed a complaint and has asked
for review of the assessments in the
entire township. which includes por-
ton OF the village of Bellaire.
