BEAUTY THROUGH SURGERY
HOmely Girl VIII Undergo Opera
ton to Win Back the LONELINESS
of Former Years.

NEW ORLEANS.-An operation
which will have the effect of trans
ferring Daisy Dame, aged 16 years,
made homely by a disease of the
face, patient at the Charity Hos
pital, into a petite blonde of the
most beautiful type is about to be
performed by DR.. Dana.
Miss Dame is a native of Eudora,
Ark, and for the past three years
has been suffering from a disease
which has eaten away the bridge of
her nose. When she arrived here
after being discharged as an incur
able from an institution in Memphis,
where she had gone for treatment,
her condition was frightful. For a
month her mouth was so sore that
she could not eat, and food was adj
ministered through tube placed in
her throat.
Dr. Dana, house surgeon at the
Charity Hospital has had charge of
the case, it is understood, and ac-
cording to the girl he expects in a
few days to do some plaster work
which will take the place of the bone
in the nose, which dropped out piece
by piece. The girl said that he was
going to make a well-shaped bridge
so that her nose would be prettier
than it was originally.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The average monkey has but little
sense, and the flat-head has none.
Unlike the average simean, the
fat-head is of particularly vicious
temperament, making itself person
ally insulting and offensive without
provocation, and invariably squeal-
ing when brought to taw with the
lash.
. And there is a journalistic fiat
head in Atlanta who is true to the
instinct of the tribe, and whose la
mentations at being brought to a
sudden halt in his vicious and in
sulting career is scarcely less than
pitiable.
Of rhinoceros hide and utterly
without delicacy of temperament or
the average instinct of gentleness he
hasn't sense enough to know when
he is personally offensive, and now
tries to draw a diagram illustrating
his stupidity-w which the pub
| lie has long been familiar

year for the public to catch on 10

the rebuke was sufficiently emphatic
to leave it's impress.

PEELED to tie himself to the coat-tails
of the object of this criticism-abOut
whatever it may be-and bark his
leather lungs out, and never without
departing from the etiquette of gen
tlemanly discussion to take the route
of the fish monger and the gutter
snipe.
And he has adopted the method of
the thug once too often!
We are not responsible for this,
but the self-respect of a decent news
paper impelled us in yesterdays is
sue to put a period to the patience
with which we have stood the stupid
activities of this thing in Georgia
journalism.
Exaggerated ego is tolerable and
applicable in a Iunatic like Thaw,
but we do not intend that this I'M
fortunate temperament shall give
this particular "sOrehead" free Ii
cense to bully-rag every man in Geor-
gia who exercise the right to COM
ment on public matters-and partic-
ularly where he is in nowise involved
in the criticism.
When he is personally attacked he
may come back in kind, but when
he interposes his bungling avoirdu-
pOis into a discussion in which he
had no part, and becomes personally
insolent-as is his habit-he may as
well understand now that his hide
will be lifted every time, and that
he will be given as good as he sends.
1t is painful to do it, but some
times it is the only way to bring a
bully to terms!
If this one hasn't the sense to APP
preciate decent treatment-as has
been our desire to personally accord
him-he must take his own medicine
and stand the consequences without
yelping.

DRY STATES GAG DOSE.
The jackson Cocktail Produces a
No. 1 Jag in Kansas.

No. 1 Jag in Kansas.
A Topeka, Kan, dispatch says the
old adage that necessity is the moth
er of invention is again exemplified.
This time the old lady comes to the
limelight through the inception OF
the Jackson cocktail" a concoction
as subtle as any ever pushed across
the bar, and at the same time well
within the rigid restriction of the
new Kansas law, which is said to be
the most drastic prohibitory meas
ure ever enacted.
The Jackson cocktail, which is
named in honor of Attorney-Ge
Fred Jackson, who is striving with
might and main to make the Sun
flower state so dry that the Desert
of Sahara will pale into insignifcance
in comparison, is made of apple CT
der and Jamaica ginger. Those who
doubt the efficiency of the jag-prO-
ducing qualities of the beverage
should mix three parts of the first
named ingredient and one part of
the latter. If a man wouldn't rob
his own trunk after taking three of
them it's a moral certainty that the
quality of his ingredients are not up
to the Kansas standard.

Washington dispatch Thus if one
should be killed there still remains
the other to carry on the work.

day as to who should accompany
either of them in the Fort Myers
flights, for under their contract the
.aeroplane must carry two persons be-
fore it will be accepted When asked
why he would not take his brother

WONDERFUL ROsEBUsH.
Horticultural Wizard Working on
One to Bear Hundred Varieties.

!
One bush containing a hundred
varieties of rose! That is the ambi-
ton of George Shima, better known
as the California potato king" one
of the wealthiest Japanese in the
state.
And Shima's dream may come
true. With infinite care Hugo Lii
enthal, Berkeley, Cal, horticulturist
and landscape gardener, founder of
the Juvenile Horticultural Society,
| is pruning, trimming and grating in
an effort to produce the wonder bush.
Lilienthal has promised Shima that
he will produce a rosebush that will
grow 100 varieties in red, yellow and
snowy white.
Shlma recently built a magnificent
home in College avenue, Berkeley.
He commemorated the event by writ
ing check for 500 for the Univer-
sity of California to furnish a stu
dents room in the university sani-
tarium.
When he began the planting of a
garden Lilienthal was employed
Now Shima's garden is rapidly be-
coming talked of throughout Berke-
ley, though the college town has
always been the home of magnificent
flowers. But the wealthy japanese
was not satisfied He wanted some
thing different from his fellows. So
he conceived the idea of a rose bush
bearing 100 varieties.
1T can be done" said Lilienthal
Go ahead and produce it, then, !"
