THE wOoING AT HARTSwICK

A young man in the early ~forties, a
Heck OF grey at the temples a silver
dollar at the crown a trace OF advanc-
Ing corpulency in his rounding figure,
but withal settled in character and in
come and looking confidently out upon
life, Is In a position TO make strong
arguments to a maiden of 90. But
maidens OF 20 are not won by argu-
ment. and the tragedy OF il all is that
careful parents are influenced little by
anything else.
Which is a novel In a nutshell.
Ever since early August IL had been
q foregone conclusion in all the region
that Rose Hartwlck was to marry Karl
Keichline the postmaster OF Sugar
Valley, The old squire was growing
old; the burdens of his great estate
were beginning to weigh upon him: he
needed a soninlaw who had force and
Judgment and tact to help him In HIS
work. and to succeed him when he was
gone That he lad chosen Keichline
for this place was no secret at all: he
even talked OF Il openly; and IL was
the impression in both valleys that the
affair was SIS good as settled. As 70
what Rose might think very little was
said. She might protest at irst-such
Girls usually did-rbut In the end she
would yield TO her fathers will. In q
hundred years there WAS no tradition In
the valley OF a SUCCESSFUL rebellion
against the head of the house Of Harris

His will was law.
The campaign, had opened briskly
and without delay. On the very first
Sunday after Rose had arrived home

The dinner which his appendicitis pa
TENTS are to give to a Philadelphia sur
geon is not essentially novel; appendicitis
clubs exist in various cities. What makes
the event remarkable is that there arc
expected to be present fully 100 guests
whom the surgeon in question has person
ally relieved of this intestinal encum-
brance. That this is the record Of a sin
gle physician bears witness to the extra
ordinary vogue Of one of the most popular
medical fads OF the century.
The first typical operation for appendi-
citis appears to have been performed in
New York in 1856. In the following year
at Philadelphia occurred the first recorded
removal of the appendix as a p~recaution-
airy measure, Appendicitis surgery is thus
less than a quarter OF a century old and
distinctly American in it's origin and de-
~velopment. The professional standing of
the surgeons whose names were associ-
ated with the early operations, among
them DIR. w. r. Bull and DIR. Charles Nc
Burney, and the prominence of the first
patients, rave a wide impetus to the sur
gtcal treatment of the disease. How many
tens of thousands - appendices were sac
rtfced to science during the decade from
1890 to 1900 Is a subject for curious specu-
lation. The first flush OF appendicitis sur
gerry has long since passed. The knife
Is now less OFTEN resorted to, having given
way to inedical and hygienic treatment.
One regrettable feature of the scare is
the survival OF a popular fear OF grapes,
~raisins. figs and other seed fruits as a
p~redisposing cause of inflammation OF the
appendix. The fooiishness of this view Is
shown by the fact that of 1900 cases
treated at Johns Hopkins hospital only
four evealed the presence of foreign
bodies. Far more conducive to appendi-
citis than food substances are violent ex-
ertion, bruises, exposure to cold and d.
gestive disturbances due to the c~logging
of the intestines

Admiral Schley was going through
the Corcoran Art gallery in Washing
ton one day. showing a little girl rela-
tive Of his the famous paintings there.
Standing before a painting Of Daniel
in the lions den, the little girl noticed
that on the face of Daniel there was
a seraphic smile. and she wondered at
Ii. The lions looked to be hungry,
and there seemed nothing to prevent
them from eating him up. so she turned
to the admiral and asked this ques-
ton: "Why in the world does he look
so pleasant when he knows that the
lions are going to eat him?"
Having in mind some long winded
speeches he had listened to at BAN
quets. the admiral replied. HE is look
ing pleasant, because he knows there
will be no speeches after this dinner

Many persons go on drinking coffee

persistent ailments.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee and tea

cause of rheumatic attacks which, when
coffee is used h%abitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said recently

Farm Notes
THE PASSING OF
THE CATTLE KING
South Dakota Cattle Barons Forced
Out Of the Game by Small
Farmers.

A special from Sioux Falls says that
agriculturists who have settled in large
numbers In South Dakota, will, II their
plans go as intended. force the picturesque
cattle king and his rowing cowboys out
of existence, to he relegated TO the domain
OF memory.
The farmers will demand OF the legis-
lature that 1t pass a law restraining cattle
from running at large that shall apply
with equal force in all parts OF the state,
this law applying now only TO the terri
tory east of the Missouri river. An effort
was made two years ago looking to this
end, but the old ranchmen on the Teser-
walton, who nave held sway in that Coun-
try for 80 years or more, were abe 10
overcome the opposition and defeated III
attempts to pass a herd law.
In the last two years, however, hun
dreds OF farmers have moved into the
range country. and two great railroad
systems have built their lines to the Black
Hills country, and the people living there
are determined to have their farms free
from the attack of rovin cattle and
horses, since they are raising crops.
