Wonderful Surgery.

Among the Arabs and the Moors
every European traveller is supposed
to be a doctor of medicine and sur
geon. The healing art is the only one
upon which they boast themselves,
and it is perhaps the one of which
they know the least. Walter B. Har-
ris, in his account of journey to
Taflet, tells the story of a wonder
full operation in surgery as it was re-
ported to him by native doctor who
was travelling in his company.
1 think the old man fancied that
I doubted his skill. At least, he was
always holding forth. upon the SUBJ
ject, and continually repeating the
story. that when in Algeria he had
been offered a fabulous salary-the
sum varied each time the tale was
told-to remain in charge OF the mil
itary hospital at Algiers, an honor
which he had declined.
He never tired of narrating the
facts and details of his most success
full operation. There is a sect in Mo-
rocco called Hamacha, who are fol-
lowers of certain saint buried near
Mekinez. These devotees amuse their
audiences themselves, too, let
us hope-by throwing into the air
heavy cannon balls, which they allow
to fall upon their shaven crowns. On
the occasion in question Hamdushi
had unfortunately been wanting in
religious power, for the cannon ball
crushed his skull.
My old sheriff friends had been
called to the rescue. According to his
account, he removed. the broken
patch of skull, replacing it withe the
rind of a green pumpkin, and closed
the skin over it. In months time,
he said, the patient was not only con-
vaIescent, but was once more hard at
work practicing his religio-acrobatic
feats with not only remodeled and
renovated skull, but even a new crop
of hair.-Youth's Companion.

Eyes, sir. 1t is mere formality,

Mary's papa stiffened.
"And may I inquire" he asked,

"You may, sir" replied the young

Want New Stars in Flag.

Washington, Jan. 1.-New Mexico
and Arizona are preparing for anoth-
er brilliant dash for statehood after
the close of the; holiday recess. This
time they will cooperate, but the ef-
fort will be for two States instead of
one. Both Territories are hopeful of
success.
New Mexico has been trying for
about sixty years to get into the
Union and Arizona for almost half Of
that time. At the beginning Of each
session of congress their labors are
renewed. So far they have been
doomed to disappointment, largely
owing to the feeling among conserva-
tive Eastern senators and representa-
tives that the Territories are not pre-
pared for statehood. This objection,
friends of the pending bills contend,
has gradually grown smaller and
smaller.
President Roosevelt has indicated
to Gov. Curry, of New Mexico, and to
representatives of Arizona that he
will use his best efforts to further
both bills during the short session,
while both Territories have large and
influential lobbies at work for them.
Western senators and representatives
generally favor the bill, and will urge
that they be taken up in the senate
and the house as soon as possible. .
Unquestionably, however, many OF
the older senators and members are
still unconvinced of the desirability
of creating two new States, and the
fact that only sixty days Of the ses-
sion remain is strongly against them.
If the measures are to succeed it will
be necessary for them to have practi-
cally the unanimous support of both
houses of congress.

Too Swift.

The city nephew was showing the
rural uncle around town. ...
"Where be we going now, Bub?''
asked Uncle Dewberry.
"Going up in the lightning studio
to have your picture taken," respond
ed the young man.
"And what then?'
"Why, then we'll go over to the
lightning shoe shining parlor and
have your boots shined up"
"Gee! And them"
"Why, then you'll get a lightning
shave, have lightning lunch, catch
the lightning express and" -,
But Uncle. Dewberry held up his
hand.
"I reckon that be a little too swift
for this old man." he said quietly as
he took a firmer grip on his yellow
satchel. "What do you take your OLE
uncle to be-a lightning rod, Bub?"

Bowersville, Ca, Jan. 4.-Charles
Craft and Thomas Craft, two we'll
known young white men, and a ne
gro, Jim Hardy, were bound over by
justice of the peace John G. Walters
under bond of $3.50, charged with

in Shoal Creek District, about two
months ago.
A search warrant was sworn out,
aId a number of articles found in the
loft of Croft's home.
The trial has attracted great deal
of attention in this section, owing to
the prominence OF the parties involv-
ed. Hon. A. Y. McCurry represented
the prosecution, and Hon. H. H.
Chandler appeared for the defense.

Negro Orphanage Band May be Al
Inauguration.

Charleston, S. c., Jan. 4.-Rev. D.
J. Jenkins is making arrangements
to have the Jenkins Orphanage Band
have a part in the Inauguration pa
rade at Washington next March. Cor
respondence is now being had with
the committee in charge of the pa
rade and place may be found for the
pickanninies..
The band would attract no little
curiosity and interest in the parade,
as it has done in many places that
the little negroes have been carried
outside of Charleston. What the or
ganization lacks in musical and in
strumental ability is made up in the
interest and curiosity of people who
may view the little red coat negroes.

LOWER PRICE OR
LOSE Union DEPOT
RAILROADS. DiCTUM,

Lower the price on the city hall
site, secure reasonable figures from
the private owners of property
lying between Howard and Wash
ington streets on Front acenue, or
suffer the loss of the proposed
union depot.
This, in brief, is the ultimatum
de livered to the union depot com.
mittee at its meeting yesterday
afternoon by R. E. Strahorn, presi-
dent of the North Coast railroad.
1t came at the close of session of
the committee at which Mr.. Stra-
horn and James Walsh of the Mil
waukee were the only railroad Of
ficials present.
In order that the city hall price
may be threshed out in greater de-
tail 1t was agreed that the depot
committee and the city council
should meet in joint session next
Tuesday evening.
Councilman Jacob Schiller, in the
discussion of the city hall price,
said that he had voted for the price
agreed upon, $4,000, and saw no
reason to deviate from it. He said
that some of the men who are now
clamoring for the city to knock
$4,000 to 100000 from the price
of the city hall would be the loud
est to kick on their taxes when 1t
comes to paying 100000 to
100000 for new building, which
Mr.. Schiller estimated that the re-
CURED structure and ground will
cost.

CRAZY MOTHER
RUNS THROUGH
STREETS
Takes Child With Her
Found After All-Night
Hunt.

Darling away down the streets
and among the big office buildings
of the business section, with her
infant child in her arms, last night
Mrs. Lucy Owens, suffering from
dementia made a successful escape
from her keeper and remained in
hiding all night. She was being
brought from Bridgeport, Wash, by
Mrs. Ferguson of Walla Walla, a
friend, who wished to take her
home to care for her.
Mrs. Ferguson was busy making
purchases at the Model bakery, on
Sprague avenue, between Post and
Lincoln streets, when Mrs. Owens
gave her the slip and managed to
keep out of her reach until early
this morning She was located at
a strange family's home on Mallon
avenue. After much persuasion, she
was induced to accompany her
friend to the railway station, to
continue the journey.
Mrs. Ferguson and the police
were much distressed by the case
because of a fear that the insane
mother might Stay her child or toss
It into the river in some moment of
mental frenzy. The chill, neverthe-
less, had been well cared for
throughout the night.

GUS crowns of the
world are on dis
play in our window
at 522 Riverside Av

You will find this one of
the most INTERESTING
displays you have ever seen.
The crowns of the most ia
nous and powerful coun-
tries Of Europe and Asia are
reproduced faithfully to the
minutest detail, including
the famous crown jewels
that you have read about SO
often. You may see the
crown which was placed on
the head of KING ED
WARD OF ENGLAND
when he took the place Of
his august mother as the
ruler of that nation; you
may see the magnificent
crown of the autocratic
KAISER, which is the most
valuable of all the crowns of
Europe, the original being
valued at $2,500,000; you
will see the huge affair of
gold and jewels which the
Gar Of all the Russias wears
when he wants to do the real
swell stunt.
You will see the crown of
LOMBARDY, the oldest
crown of all Europe, and the
original Of which is said to
contain iron taken from the
cross. The crown which is
just now resting so unstead-
| lily on the head of ALPHON-
so OF SPAIN is duplicated
here. And last, but by no
means least, the silk hat Of
the PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES reposes
at the top of the heap. This,
all good Americans are
pleased to think, is an in
sigma of more real power
and influence than any of
the crowns represented.
"Uneasy lies the head that
wears the crown" runs the
old saying, and you, will not
wonder at it when you see
how massive and heavy
many of the crowns are.
This is a chance that you
may not have again in a
lifetime. Remember the
lplace.
