Human Life Elixir Test

South Norwalk, Conn, Sept. II.
-Thaddeus Tietze, the Austrian
scientist, who stirred the world OF
science this week by declaring hat
he had at last discovered an elixir
of life by which he could bring the
dead back to life, has secured a sub
ject who is willing to submit him.
self to the experiment.
This mar is G.. W. Reese of Kan
sas City, Mo-, who writes that I'M
der certain financial condi. ions he
will submit himself for the expert
ment. Professor Tietze has wired
that he will accept the conditions.
Reese only wanted a demonstra-
ton of the power of the elixir OF
life en- an animal and then he would
place himself in the hands of the
professor to kill and resurrect for
the sun of $1,000.
Prof. Tietze recently came into a
big estate in his own country, from
which he vas banished because of
his advanced ideas, and this stipu-
iation was no objection. If no sub
je2t was obtainable Prof. T.etza
was so confident that he intended
to submit the treatment to other
hands and himself become the sub
ject. He also has plans to form a
large stock company and build an
institution for the perfection and
application of his discovery.
His contention is that any animal
that dies an unnatural death can be
resuscitated within five hours OF
the time that respiration ceases.
He buries his subject in a com-
pound and creates a new life.

In this company were ex- Federal and ex-Confederate soldiers. plain farmers and mere boys. l was among followed the Indians along the Republi- can River, and finally went to camp on Beecher's Island. Here we were attacked by a thousand warriors and for nine days we fought .and famished drinking the muddy water of the river eating half putrid meat of mules and sweltering through the hot September days. On the third day my eye was shot out. We had no surgeon, and I had to lay four days with the wound undressed. Jessie, do you think we were then as well fixed as you are now?'
 The little girl was crying and did not answer. It seemed to her that Grand fathers scar was not so ugly after all, for it is said that there is real beauty in scars made in the service of mankind. Grandfather continued:
 At last, after seven days, when we were nearly exhausted and a majority of the 30 were either dead or wounded, we heard the sound of a bugle and knew that help was coming. The Indians fled, and few minutes afterward a thousand colored troops came into view. Jessie, it seems to me I never heard sweeter music than that bugle, and never, through my

 Where is your motherf' asked Tommy thoughts of his own dear mother coming to his mind. A mother could always look after everything he knew. and wondered why this little girl should have to mind the shop if she had a mother.
 My mamma died a year ago, an I've been alone with my papa" she explained Its very lonely. but my papa is very good to me and sends me to school when he is well''
 Let me see your father" said Tommy his pity for the child growing since he learned that she had not a mother.
 The little girl led Tommy to a dark, unkept room in the rear of the shop, and there he saw a poor man tossing about on a wretched bed In the same room were a cooking stove, a cupboard containing few coarse dishes, plain deal table, few chairs and another little bed in corner where the child probably slept. All spoke poverty. Tommy went to the man and, bending over him. asked n question, but the sick one only stared at him, not replying. Then he began to toss and to moan
 That's just the way he does when speak to him." sobbed the child. An he got that way last night. But before he got so he wouldn't talk; he said he had great pains in his chest and head"
 He must have a doctor" said Tommy, his voice decisive. He felt that he must look after this poor sufferer the little girl and the poor shop. ''I'll run home and have my mother send for our doc. tor" he explained And you lock the shop door, so that other thieves cannot come in to steal the coats and other things while l am gone"
 The little girl did his bidding, seeming to trust him completely and know that he was her friend in time of trouble
 Within an hour Tommy returned to the shop, accompanied by his own dear, good. hearted mother. Tommy tapped on the shop door and the little girl opened it

because she taught in sod house."
 Jessie colored, as Grandfather con- tinued:
 "one day in going to school Jessie Robinson passed a neighbours house and found one of her pupils, little girl, sick. The child wanted to go to school but was not able to walk. What did Jessie, that 15-year-old woman, do, but form paeksaddle with her hands, and putting the little girl on her back, carry her to school, mile further onr'
 Jessie gasped with astonishment, but Grandfather continued:
 That is not all of it. On the way to the sehoolhouse the young teacher had to cross small creek. There had been rains and the creek was swollen The crossing was made of drift logs and debris that had formed themselves into a jam there. Jessie started over, carrying the child on her back But the high water had loosened the jam, and as she neared the far shore log turned and down she went into the water. She had the pres ence of mind to pitch the child forward as she fell. and 1t landed on q sand bar unhurt. Jessie, however, was in the cold water to her shoulders. She didn't wait for rescue, but managed to wade ashore, and then, picking up the child again, made her way to the schoolhouse. There some of the pupils had built fire. and drying her clothes as best she could she taught throughout the day as though nothing unusual had occurred"
 My, wasn't she bravei" exclaimed the little girl But, tell me, Grandpa, how

At that time Indians were more plentiful than white people, and one might travel for half day and not see a dwelling-house. Well, Dr. Robinson took up a claim 15 miles from the near est town, then a village of about 200 inhabitants. now the beautiful city where you live, Jessie"
 Jessie's eyes opened widely. It seemed marvellous that these changes should come to her own home.
 'Dr. Robinson's practice consisted largely of dressing of wounds that had been inflicted by the Indians on the set tiers, and he had considerable to do too. There was no school in all the country, and in making his professional calls Dr. Robinson discovered that there was great desire for one, even though some of the people would have to send their children three and four miles to the school So he arranged matters, and the people got together and built sod house in which to hold school, and 15-year-old Jessie Robinson rode to the county seat, 12 miles away, passed her examination and was granted a teachers certificate. The children gathered and this child taught the first school in all the coun- try
 That was a wonderful thing to do" said Jessie. ''She ought to have monu- ment for that"

 Mamma shook her head. q tell you, dear boy, heroes are needed as much to- day as they were needed in the old times, and they are with us in vast num- bers. Didn't you read to me just yester- day of that brave fireman who risked his own life to save that of a helpless old woman who had been left in the attic of tenement to perish in the fire that was sweeping with such fury over the entire building? Well, was there ever greater heroism than thatY'
 Tommy was obliged to admit that the fireman of whom his mother spoke was indeed a great hero, and then he began to understand his mothers meaning when she said there were as many heroes to- day IS there was In the past
 Tommy got his overcoat and hat and set out to find call for heroism. He turned Into a side street, not selecting any quarter of the city, but following in- voluntarily wherever his feet might turn He was too busy thinking to notice his surroundings, and had passed by a tum- ble-down old clothes shop when a chiId's sob caught his ear. Turning quickly Tommy entered the shop, for the child's voice came from there
 Crouching close to the counter and sob bing bitterly was little girl about eight years of age Upon Tommy's entering she quickly rose to her feet and rubbed the tears from her wan face. Her great gaunt eyes looked up into Tommy's face inquirfngly.

 My papa is sick an won't speak to me any more," explained the child "He got sick yesterday an couldn't attend to the shop.

English" celebrating current local evehts. He was good company, and was a favorite at social gatherings. His first serious newspaper work was done at St. Joseph, Mo, while he was still under his majority. Here he gained something of a reputation as a humorist, and was called to Denver. From Denver he went to Chicago, to the News, where his ''Sharps and Flats were features of the paper until his death. He wrote much humor of a transient nature, more bub- bling fun than fine literature But oc- casionally a real literary gem would appear among his stuff and at times a poem of such deep pathos that 1t re- vealed a serious turn of mind along with his love of fun. He printed five small volumes, r3cgtly ehildFens verse. It is not so much the quantity of mater ial he left as the quality of few poems that evidently came from the heart which gives him title to fame
 Field was a lover of children all his life, and they understood and loved him, so 1t is appropriate that he should be known as the children's poet He was born In 1850 and died in 1895.
