to begin sewing up the wound the
heart stopped beating again. DR.. Sui
livan again tried his new method
of inducing artificial circulation.
This time he was compelled to
squeeze the heart and then permit
it to expand for several minutes, but
finally it began to beat again and
the wound was sewed up.
1t was said by the surgeon who
saw the operation that the squeez-
ing of the vital organ saved the pa
tents life. Chial had been suffer-
ing from pneumonia and his system
had been weakened so badly that
several of the hospital surgeons were
against operating on him. Dr. Sulli-
van realized, however, that the only
chance the patient had of recovery
was to cut away the affected parts
of the lung, and this morning Chial
was placed on the operating table.
An incision was made near the
left lung and the surgeon was in the
act of cutting away the affected Sec
ton when the patients heart stop
ped To all appearances Chial was
dead. The squeezing of the patient S
heart had not been planned by the
physician, and was the result of an
idea that arose from the exigencies
of the case.
When Chial's heart stopped beat
ing a second time those who stood
about the operating table believed
there was no chance of reminding
the life spark. Nevertheless DR..
Sullivan persisted in his work until
the patient was alive again, al
though unconscious. After Chial's
wounds were sewed up he was carried
back to his cot, and in the evening
his condition was such that the ply
sicians said confidently he would re-
cover.

Whale Rain Over a Town.

A Seaside (Oregon) dispatch to
the Chicago Inter-Ocean says:
After having unsuccessfully at
tempted to use the strength of the
ocean tide and four teams of horses
to remove the decaylng body of an
enormous whale that had washed
up on the beach in front OF the city
late yesterday afternoon, and having
been baffled in his efforts to cremate
the giant carcass, Marshal Lindsey
tried dynamite.
The effect, however, astonished
everybody. Instead of blowing the
great hulk out to sea the explosive
distributed the carrion over the city.
One large piece fell upon the roof
OF summer cottage, destroyed the
chimney, soaked the rear end of the
building in sperm oil, and scattered
all over the yard. So oily was the
substance that persons walking in
the yard afterward found their shoes
were soaked in it. A chunk about
the size of an ordinary sofa required
the efforts of four horses to drag It
from the center of a street.

The Augusta, Ca, Chronicle prints
this one:
A day or two ago Lem Jenkins, a
negro farm hand, who lives near
Augusta, purchased a box of sardines
and carried it home for supper. He
duly ripped open the tin, poured out
the cotton seed oil and began to
make away with the shiny little
fishes. Reaching the second lay

appetite, Jenkins came upon a little
green leg protruding between two
finny carcasses. 81 hev heard tell of
finding wings in rabbit pie" NUT
tered the epicurean. "but 1 never
seen a sardine with legs before" and
he dug his fork into the marvel. Out
came a long green lizard with a
shriveled hide and the oil dripping
from the end of it's spotted tail.
"Gawd-a-mercy! Mr.. Ramsey yill
sho git me now, for Use a dead mig

diately became sick unto death. But

Politics in Lee is always very in

ago went 4 for Smith. Father is
divided against son, and brother
against brother. Both sides claim
the county by small majorities, and
it will probably take the official
count to decide it. A hundred dol
lar bet was made a day or so ago
by supporters of the respective can
didates on the result. 1t is appar-
ent that it will be close. Lee coun-

for Hoke Smith by votes, and il
the record is broken this year by
large majority it will be the first
