A Yankee Trick in London.

History failed to record the name
of the man who invented ice cream
soda, but London merchants are heart
lily wishing he had been born.
The opening by a Chicago merchant
prince of a big department store in
London did not in itself create much
disturbance, but the store had not
been open long until John Bull was
troubled and 1t required some little
time to find out what 1t was all about.
In spite of seductive bargains and fine
assortments of goods in the old stores
the women focked to the new Ameri-
can establishment.
Brother Jonathan had installed a
soda fountain and surrounded 1t with
comfortable chairs and the London
women had acquired the ice cream
O d habit and along with it a supply
of that comfortable feeling which rem
dered them at peace with the world
and put them in a mood TO part with
pounds, shillings and pence for goods
sold over the American counter.
As an evangel of trade the ice cream
soda is proving more potent than bat
tleships and not half so costly, and
unless some method is discovered of
checking those American habits, the
first thing the LOndoner knows he
will get up some morning and be
forced TO cook his own breakfast while
his wife goes down town to attend a
bargain rush.

The complications which have beon
created by the\mix-up In the law regarding
the authority for the payment Of the death
benefit in the army are illustrated by a
case which was before the War depart
ment this week, that of an enlisted man
of the Twenty-elghth infantry. who. while
absent without leave from Fort SAAlling
fell from a ninety-foot precipice in the city
of st. Paul and was killed. The evidence
did not show that the deceased was in
toxicated when last observed prior TO his
death, nor was there any allegation of in
sanity. II was easy enough TO determine
that the death was. not incurred in line OF
duty, but il was not so simple a matter
to decide whether it was the result OF his
own misconduct, which is, for the present,
a disqualifying condition in the yme
of the death benefit. This has led to some
discussion by the military authorities of
what constitutes misconduct, which is de-
fined as something that implies a wrong
full intention and is necessarily indefinite.
In this particular case 1t was decided that
the reasonable view. considering the cir
cumstances of death was that the soldier
took a risk through carelcssness which did
was. therefore, that while the death was
not incurred in the line OF duty, It was
not the result of the soldiers misconduct.
Under the provisions OF the law which pre-
vail until July 1, a case OF this kind would
be considered as justifylng the payment of
the death benefit.

ROOSEVELT IN A VETO
ASSAILS SP0lLS PLAN
Returns the Census Bill to Congress
and Points Out Its
Evils.

Washington, Feb. 6.-"The evil eff.
fects of the spoils system apd of the
custom of treating appointments to
the public service as personal per
quisities of professional politicians are
peculiarly evident in the case of a
great public work like the taking of
the census, work which should EN-.
phatically be done for the whole peo
pie and with an eye single to their in.
terest."
In these words President Roosevelt
yesterday summed up a message to
the house of representatives returning
without his approval the bill providing
for the taking of the next census, be-
cause of the provision prescribing that
appointments shall be made on the
basis of non-competitive examinations
instead of through the civil service
commission. AS passed by congress
the bill permitted members and sena-
tors to designate persons for positions
after they had undergone a simple ex.
animation.
incidentally the president referred
to the provision authorizing the print
ing OF census reports by private con
Germs and laid stress on the point
that where work was so allotted the
eight-hour law should be applied in
effective fashion"
81 do not believe I'm the doctrine that
to the victor belongs the spoils,' says
the president, but | think even less
of the doctrine that the spoils shall be
divided without a fight by the profes-
sional politicians on both sides; and
this would be the result of permitting
the bill in its present shape to become
a law"
Outside of those matters, the presi-
dent said that on the whole the bill
was satisfactory to him and repre-
sented an improvement upon previous
legislation on the subject The house
adjourned without action on the mes
sage.

DEAD MANS KNEE is GRATED.
Joint is Placed on the Leg Of a
Live Patient.


Washington, Feb. 4.-Physicians at
the Georgetown University hospital
witnessed a remarkable operation per.
formed there several days ago by Or.
George Tullu Vaughan of this city. on
George a. Kelly, aged 20 years. The
bones of Kelly's knee were so badly
diseased, the result of an accident
several years ago, that DR.. Vaughan
decided on amputation.
In a ward on one of the upper floors
of the hospital lay a man about to die.
Or. Vaughan obtained permission from
the dying patients family to remove
the left leg in the event Of death, and
it was decided that the knee of the
dead man should be grated on the
leg Of the living sufferer.
Kelly's condition became gradually
worse and the man upon whom so
much depended also grew worse. The
latter suddenly succumbed, and be.
fore his body became cold DR..
Vaughan, assisted by several physi-
clans Of the hospital, amputated the
left leg just above the knee.
Kelly was quickly placed under the
influence Of an anaesthauc and the
diseased knee was amputated Mean
dime the dead mans leg was being
carefully dissected The knee joint
was cut away from Inc calf of the leg.
while similar operation was per.
formed on Kelly When the diseased
Knee was removed Dr.. Vaughan quick
iy submitted the borrowed one.
