BOY SHOWS RARE FoRTITUDE.
TweIve-Year-oId Lad Jokes While His
Fingers Are Being
Amputated.

Green Lake. Wash.-A boy who has
in him the making of heroic man Is
12-year-old Fred Cleveland. who said:
Its going to hurt all right. but l can
stand it," and then set his lips tight
while his wounds were being dressed
and an operation performed on his
hand. The amputation of several
fingers was necessary because of their
lacerated condition, the result of an
explosion in his hands of a dyrCmite
cap.
A number of small boys were play.
when Roy Glover produced dyna-
mite cap and suggested that they rid
the place of unnecessary stumps. The
cap was set in place and lighted, but
was slow in exploding. The little
Cleveland boy was anxious to know
why 1t did not go off. so he picked 1t
up and was examining 1t when 1t ex-
ploded, decorating his hands and face
to such an extent that it was neces.

several fingers.

Mueller became a constant and ag-

favored his suit. All was roseate with
him. He had practically decided on
the minister and the place where the
ring was to be secured as soon as he

came over the happy courtship.
The cloud was the mayor of Chicago,

of his relatives marrying a telephone

EMPIRE GIRDLEs OF sEQUINs
Are Much Favored for Both Light and
Dark CoIored Satin Gowns
This Season.

The novelty that was brought out in
the winter on exclusive gowns has be-
come little more universal this
spring. This is the use of four-inch
empire girdles made of sequins.
They are used on light and dark
fcolored satin gowns. Their appear
ance on the extravagantly high-priced
French frocks proves that the slightly
high waist will remain In favor this
spring. These girdles are very at
tractive and can be made at home by
the girl who has color sense. They
lshould only be combined with soft
fabrics for house wear.
The sequins are iridescent and the
colors may be chosen according to the
fabric. Those Of peacock greens and
blues are often used on gowns Of
white, yellow and blue satin. Those
of crystals and pearls are put on
gowns of peacock-green and black
satin. But this rule is not to be fol-
lowed. It is only given to suggest the
fact that It is not necessary to use
dark sequins with dark gowns and
lieht sequins with light gowns.

Chicago.-Defying the seclusion of
convent walls, the constant guard of
the watchful nuns and of influential
relatives, George V. Mueller of Chica-
go has succeeded in making Miss EN-

his bride.

but gallant telephone company's en-

hospitable town of Gary, Ind, where
their lives were Joined forever and
aye, while the lordly relatives ragged
withal and true to the novelist wired
their forgiveness.
Mueller is employed by the Chicago
Telephone Company and lives in fiat
on Sheffield avenue. Across the hall
from his apartments abided Miss
Emily Lee. Mueller did not know his
1S-year-old neighbor and for months
and months the soulmates existed
without knowledge that Cupid was
sitting in the hallway, shooting ar
rows both ways.
A few months ago, Mueller on re-
turning from his daily labors saw the
future Mrs. NJ. gracefully gliding on
roller skates in front of the apartment
house. Just as he reached the door
step the young woman, perhaps grace
fully, but entirely painfully, sat on the
sidewalk. Mueller assisted the young
lady to arise and carefully helped her
to the comfort of his one best chair in

With a Difference.

When Captain Pershing, U. S. A,
on duty in the Philippines, was sent
to reconcile the native Dato to our
ways of thinking, he was cautioned
about the Chiefs great aversion to
Christians. In the eyes of the Fill
pinos there are only two religions
in the world-Mohammedanism and
Christianity-his people representing
the former and the Catholicism of
the Spaniards the latter. On arriv-
ing at the Dato's bamboo palace he
found all the Chiefs assembled, with
a native band; so he proceeded with
the escort of rugged American regu-
lars to where the Chief sat. One OF
the first questions the native asked
was: care you Christian"
The suddenness of the attack
might have disconnected the diplo-
matte Captain. but he was equal to
the occasion, and quickly answered. i:

The Church and Disease.

For the Christian Church to found
and foster hospitals is unquestion-
ably commendable, writes DR.. James
M. Buckley in the February Cen
fury in a discussion of the Dangers
of the Emmanuel Movement" and
the reasons why it should not be
generally adopted; but the diagno-
sis, treatment, and prognosis should
be LEFT to those who have made this
their life study and profession; to
them belongs psychotheraphy as well
as medicine and surgery. For the
church to provide chaplains for in
situations and give them every ia
cility is also rational. To attach hos
pitfalls to individual churches under
rectoral or pastoral superintendence
is of doubtful expediency. To provide
physicians or attempt to treat patti
ents personally would invade the
sphere of an indispensable profess
sion, and encourage an irregular
movement in other departments of
medicine.
A large proportion of the best
physicians and surgeons of Boston
and vicinity sympathize substantially
with the view announced by DR.. Put
nam. They believe that it places

in false light that sit raises false
hopes that cit interferes with the
relations between physicians and
their patients" and that 'it encour-
