SAT CROSS-LEGGED.
Then Got Peevish and Moved Her
Seat to Avoid the Gaze.

Going down to Union Hill the
other evening on a yellow car, seated
on one of the long side seats in the
front was an unusually pretty girl.
She was dressed in lavender. and wore
white fur hat Of bread-tray pattern,
patent leather boots and a white fur
neck piece She saw that she was be-

men, yet she insisted on sitting cross

public car She stood the gazing as
long as she could, which was divided
between her face and boots, till finally
she couldn't contain herself any
longer, so she jumped up in supreme
disgust and sought the recess of a
cross seat, next to the wall
And she sat there cross-legged

A PROTEST OF PATRIOTISM.
Cyrus Prosch, of Coytesville.

Cyrus Prosch, Of Coytesville, one of
the older residents Of that village, is
a man of varied talents, and in his
day has been a man of action. To-
day, in the thoughtful period of his
life. he is filled with many interesting
"reminiscences. He has always been
alert in thought, and has a record of
many protests filed in the borough of
Fort Lee on public matters. Having
always at the heart the public veal,
Mr.. Prosch has at times been SO pro-
nounCed in his protests as to be called
more or less cranky. But this gives
him no concern, as he feels that any
thing he opposes must be radically
wrong or he would not waste time to
consider it at all
Some time ago Mr. Prosch be-
thought him to stir up a little public
sentiment on the flag that hung from
the pole near the Revolutionary
Monument. Day and night it hung
there, till finally there was nothing
left of it except one star in the blue
field. He thereupon penned a poem of
protest, and, having it printed on slips,
circulated it over town. 1t was pa
triotic effort to write Fort Lee into
ridicule, and was successful. The old
rag came down. but no flag has since
taken its place, the pole being bare
on Lincolns and Washington's birth
days

ERNIE LANCE HURT.
Nearly Cuts His Kneecap OFF by
Falling on Broken Milk Bottle.

Little Ernie LANCE, the eleven-year-
old son of Charles LANCE, while play
ing in the park with some compan-
ions, about five o'clock February 24th.
slipped to his knees on the ice, and
his full weight came down on the
sharp edge of a broken milk bottle.
The knee was cut half way around,
making a cash eight inches long, an
inch deep and shaving the lower edge
of the kneecap. 1t was an ugly cut,
and bled profusely. DR.. Brundage was
called promptly, and after taking a
dozen stitches in the wound, drew it
together and put the leg in splints.
1t will be some time before Ernie can
romp around in his usual lively
fashion He stood the painful opera
ton by DR.. Brundage without finch
ing, and showed very remarkable for
titude for one so young. Ernie's
many friends wish him complete re-

SHE LIKED THE OPERA.
Some High links Cup Up by One of
the Habitues.

Pattering through the rain the
other evening, the society lady
wendell her way around puddles and
pools, ell route to the Fort Lee car,
which was to take her to the ferry.
1t was her opera night, and, rain or
shine, Tuesday night was her very
own.

ings later; Il fairly dote on opera"
"Do you know everything in
opera?" asked caller one day
"Know the opera? Why, I can
name any aria that can be played in
my hearing" she said, with some en-
phasis. A little while later, the son of
her friend on whom she was calling,
rolled up the pianola to the piano,
and began to play Listz's "Paraphrase
of Rigoletto.'
There's Garment" exclaimed the
lover of opera. How divine that is!
/. always did love that opera" Then
the youth took down the roll of Tam
hauser and played it. The soft ca
dences, with slow, measured tempo,
were gone through with much express
sion.
"You recognize that?' queried the
hostess, recalling how she had called
the turn so effectively on "Rigoletto."
'That?" smiled the visitor. That

anything that was played. Perhaps
she knocked the rag off the bush the
easiest, however, when she so quickly
caught the beautiful melody of the
"Kreutza Sonata" when "Lohen-

thought Wagner superior to Beetho-
ven, though she did twist their COM
positions awry. And this gifted critic
is exactly like about one half of the
habitues of the opera.

GUNSHOT VICTIM

Joel Murphy's Life May be
Thus Saved.
CANNOT LOCATE THE BULLET.

Murder may be a charge registered
against a Tennessee negro unless the
delicate operation OF ligating the
common cartoi1 saves the life OF
Joel Murphy. colored. Murphy was
brought to the Illinois Central rail-
road hospital several weeks ago from
Trlmbie. Tenn. with bullet wound
below his left eye. He and another
negro engaged In a fight In Tennessee
and in the melee Murphy was shot.
The ball entered his face. and II
was thought that he would recover.
despite the fact that the hospital
stan has been unable to locate the
ball The flow of blood continued
slowly and the negro gradually be-
came weaker. For fear that he would
bleed to death he was operated on
yesterday afternoon and the artery
on the left side Of his neck was tied,
as 1t was pierced by the bullet, and
II was impossible TO stop the flow of
blood otherwise. The operation is
performed only rarely, as 1t is ex-
ceedlngly delicate, because of the
veins and nerves that are in the path
way 20 the artery. The artery assists
In supplying the brain with blood,
but no ~ effects are felt by tying the
artery. Today Murphy was resting
easy and the hospital surgeons are
hopeful of his recovery. IL is the first
time that the operation has been per-
formed IN Paducah in years.

quent committee meetings are the
order of the day-or night, more
strictly speaking-now that the leg
islature has gotten into good work.
ing order Most OF them are held
at the Capital hotel. as the distance
of the new capitol precludes the idea
OF holding them there, especially at
night. II will be no uncommon
thing from now on to see from a
hali-dozen to a dozen or more com
mittee meetings held every night,
wherever an available room can be
secured. Sometimes in the spacious
hotel parlors as many as four differ
ent committees hold meetings stimuli
taneously.
The sessions Of so many commit
tees mean that the fate Of numer-
Gus measures offered In both branch
es will soon be settled, the wheat
being separated from the chaff. many
of them never seeing the light of day.
The average solon. who learns that
his favorite measure has been
thrown among the discards, soon be-
comes reconciled when he sees his
brother members getting the same
treatment. The committees are rec
ognlzed as valuable adjuncts of the
senate and house as a clearing house
for obnoxious measures and bills
without merit. although some of this
class are sometimes reported favor
ably.
Bills Reported Favorably.

and taxation held a meeting last
night and took favorable action on
several measures before II. among
them Senator l.. w. Arnett's bill to
prevent double taxation. by requir-
