about IL.
In her dream my friend saw a magnificent
osity impelled her to enter Her brother was
with her at first. but she soon lost sight OF
him among the gay throngs that moved through
The richly appointed rooms and halls But she
pressed forward with the crowd and eagerly
sought fresh attractions. for each succeeding
room seemed TO become more beautiful and lux
uriOus.
But after awhile they began to lose their
charm. growing Ehabbier and closer in atnios-
phere. Yet she kept on, hoping TO find better
conditions. till finally only bleak. bare walls
seemed closing around her. sitting her in a
painful labyrinth.
She would have turned back but found the
doors fast shut behind her. Then figure In

TO ATLANTA FOR TREATMENT
The Young Man Who Was Shot in
an Albany Lodge Room.

An Albany special says: The con-
dition of H. Cleve Cox, the young
man who was accidentally shot in
the thigh during initiation exercises
in the local Elks lodge a week ago,
has suddenly taken serious turn.
Although he has had three doctors
in attendance and trained nurse at
his side it was decided last night to
telegraph for DR.. Campbell Davis of
Atlanta and DR.. Doughty of Augusta
These eminent surgeons arrived to-
day. and after a consultation of all
the physicians it was decided to take
the patient to Atlanta tonight and
place him in a hospital, where he
can receive the constant attention of
surgeons in an effort to save his leg
and possibly his life. 1t is believed
that with the facilities afforded in
well-equipped hospital the wounded
young man will be restored to health.

They tell of the native banquets of
seal meat and frozen fish, of the
temptation to exchange a few crack
ers, pinch or two of tea, handful
of sugar, which may before the end
of the trip mean life or death to
them, for native curios in feather
and beadwork, in rare skins and
queer carvings, on which they could
realize a handsome profit in the coast
cities where tourists abound.
They tell of the simple faith which,
regarding them as opponents of all
that civilization with which they
form connecting link, brings them
its quarrels to settle and its sick to
cure. They tell of lonely nights
camping on the trail with only their
dogs for company-dogs so voracious
that they have to cache not only the
supplies, but the sleds, lest they eat
the lashings which are of seal thong.
Their tongues once loosened they
talk freely, even though to them the
daily facing of death and staring it
out of countenance is so much
matter of course as to be scarcely
worth talking about They tell quite
simply of carrying the mail over
hundreds of weary miles of snow
and ice on the far northern trails,
eating supper, as one of them de-
scribed it, with hood and mittens

CHICKEN FARM ON THE ROOF
Restaurant Manager Would Permit
Guests to Select the Fowls
to Be Cooked.

NEW YORK.-If the board of
health can be convinced that a poul-
try farm in Thirty-sixth street, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth avenues, is
a public necessity, or at least will
not be public nuisance, Paul Hen
kel, manager of Keen's Chop House,
will next week establish such a farm
on the roofs of the buildings 0ccu
pied by the chop house Application
for permit has been filed with the
board.
You see" said Mr.. Henkel,
there are many who come here that
are real fussy about their food.
They like to have their fowl fresh.
To satisfy them l will put a lot of
coops and chicken runs on the roof,
so that it will be possible for them
to climb up to the roof, pick out the
bird they wish for dinner, and by
the time they have disposed of the
cocktail and the soup it will have
been killed and made ready to serve
them. If they wish it will be pos
sible for them to supervise the oper~
atoms.
Doesn't that plan sound good /?
Sure it does, and besides weIl have
what you might call by-product--
fresh eggs-but, of course, not
enough to supply every one.
Il don't know when the board of
health will decide on the matter,
but it should be done next week.
I'm all ready to begin work at once
on the most up-to-date plans you
ever saw.
These, by the way, include pro-
vision for protecting the fowls from
thieves who may come in the might

PEANUTS AND POTATO CURE.
Discoverer of Cure For Cancer Offers
Himself as a Subject.

Thomas j. Allen of Aurora, ILL.,,
believes he has discovered a cure for
cancer, and is SO sure of his ground
that he offers himself for an expert
ment. He said he had asked an east
ern cancer specialist to graft a can
Ger upon him for the test.
The cure Allen proposes is a mat
ter of diet. Some time ago he went
in for peanuts and lived for sixty
days on them exclusively. He says
cancer comes from a disorganized di-
gestion and alternating monodiets"
will eradicate it. Thus he suggests
potatoes alone for number of days,
then peanuts alone, followed by a
turn at grapes, and so on.
