20 Feet of Wire Coiled in Artery
Los Angeles, CALI, Feb. 17-Twen-
ty feet of silver wire coiIed inside
the aorta--the great artery leading
from his heart-probably has saved
the life of Richard Wheaton, a re-
tired British soldier. He Is recov-
erIng from the operation, one Of the
most delicate and dangerous known
to modern surgery. Or. D. c. Bar
ber, superintendent Of the hospital
here, performed the operation.
When the patient was admitted to
the hospital recently the doctors
found he was suffering from an aneu-
rism.
At one point in the aorta, the wall
of the artery was so thin that press
ure of the blood had all but blown
it out. The doctors decided to inter
pose an artificial wall in front of the
wounded spot. An incision was made
disclosing the artery and a hollow
needle was thrust through it. The
fine silver wire was passed through
the hole in the needle. 1t was SC
fine that when the end came in
contact with the opposite wall of the
artery it turned, and, as more wire
was pushed in, 1t curved round ant
round, forming a spiral the size Of
the artery, and thus travelled along
the artery.

GERONIMO, Big Chief, is Dead

Lawton, Okla, Feb. 17.-Flahtlne
leader Of the Apaches, prisoner Of
war and last of the unsubdued braves,
died at Fort still military reservation
at 6 o'clock this morning Of pneumo-
MIA. After many battles that left
him unsearred and life on the
bleak pralrles where hardshlps were
the rule, Geronimo suecumbed after
three days Of Illness.
Only last Saturday the chief was
able to be in Lawton and was ap-
parently in good health and unus-
ually high spirits because the gov
ernment had consented to let him
visit a stock show in Fort Worth,
Tex, next month.
Geronimo was the leader of the
warning Apaches In 1887 when Col
onel Nelson A. Miles, later general
and chief Of staff, was sent against
him with force Of mounted troops
Geronimo was surrounded and cap
tured after o bitter resistance. HI
was taken to the Fort Still reserya
tion a prisoner of war and had beer
confined there, with the last remnan
of his tribe, for more than twenty
one years.
The remaining Apaches are great,
grieved over the death of Geronimo
who was always looked upon as tn
head of the tribe though he neve
really was chief.

New York, Feb. 19.-WIdespread
interest among politicians has been
aroused by an article by William Jen.
nlngs Bryan In the March number Of
Munseys Magazine, entitled 1.-THE
Future of the Democratic Party"
Mr.. Bryan In his paper carefully an
aIyzes the political conditions Of the
present day, discussing the policies
Of his party at length.
1T is more than possible 1t is
even probable" he declares, I" that
the House Of Representatives to be
elected in 1910 will be Democratic"
Sounding a word of warning to
President-elect Taft, he continues:
"The President-elect cannot possi-
bly, satisfy the expectations
of both elements of the Republican
party. With Republican House
controlled by what Mr.. Roosevelt calls
reactionaries. how can he escape con-
flict either with the Republican lead
ers or with the Republican voters of
the Mississippi valley?"
In discussing the tendency toward
reform legislation, Bryan says:
"The Democratic party is in SYM
pathy with the growing demand for
remedial legislation; it is therefore
rowing with the tide, for the tide is
onward. Democrats, recognizing the
responsibility of their position, and
strong in the confidence they feel in
the righteousness Of their cause, are
prepared to wage winning fight
against an opposition already panic
stricken"
Influential Democrats declare Mr..
Bryan's article to be the most import
ant political paper printed since the
election of Mr.. Taft last November.

To Fight Deaih With Eduea-

New York, Feb. ia campaign
against death throughout the United
States. backed by the life insurance
companies, is the plan of DR.. Irving
Fisher, professor of political econ
omy at Yale, and president Of the
Committee of 100 on National Health.
He proposes the expenditure OF mon
ey by life insurance companies in q
crusade Of education to improve hy-
gienic conditions throughout the Unit
ed States.
He gave as his justification for the
suggestion the fact that the practical
application of all the reforms now
known to modern hygiene would In
crease the span Of human life In
America more than fifteen years, or
over one-third. This decreased NOR
tality, he said, would so lessen the
cost of insurance that the returns to
policy-holders would be many times
more than the original expenditure.
Then, too, there would be a vast eco
nomic gain to the country in general
by reason of the prolongation of the
lives of trained, efficient men.
"The insurance men," said DR..
Fisher, whom 1 have consulted as
to whether it would pay life insur-
ance companies to engage in the
saving of lives have been unanimous
in their belief that the step would be
a profitable one. A fall Of the death

A kind word, an act of common

Always keep your stock of kindness

Be an enterprising merchant.
Kindness is one stock that is dis

A smile never injured anything but
an enameled complexion.
