Woman Railroad Surgeon.

Madam. how would you like to have
a necklace-not a pearl necklace. but
one made up of twenty-three bullets,
each OF which you had extracted from
q wounded man? Don't shudder.
There is a woman in Texas, DR.. So
phie Herzog of Brazoria, who pos
sesses such necklace, but probably
she doesn't wear it on ordinary occa-
sions. Twenty-Five of the men upon
whom she operated for gunshot
wounds are alive and we'll to testify
to her skill as a surgeon. Dr. Herzog
is the only woman railroad surgeon in
the United States. For years she has
been chief surgeon for the st. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexican railroad. No
sort of weather or other adverse con-
dition deters her. She responds to
calls at any hour in the twenty four,
going by locomotive cab, freight car,
handcar or any other mode of trans
portation which promises to get her
to the objective spot most quickly.
The twenty three men from whom she
extracted her novel bullet necklace
were shot during the exciting times
when the railroad was being construct
ed through a somewhat rough country.

the one who exercises 1t is personally
| attractive she may be tolerated awhile.
| Ordinary abruptness is a fault of
youth. 1t isn't precisely an Indication
of inherent boorishness. but it seems
to come natural. as 1t were, to slam
inanimate objects, like doors. to make
curt replies, to enter and leave a room
with a dash and to do most things
with more slambang than is at all nee
essary
OF course much of this abruptness
is due to excess of animal spirits and
will be toned down by the advance of
years. Even If no effort on the part
of those in authority is made TO cor
rect the fault it is in most cases al
most certain to yield to more suavity
Of manner and desire to be conven-
tional. As girls grow older they learn
to move gracefully and quietly, to aban-
don much of their antagonfstic and
yoeiferous manner and to appear to
take an interest in what others are
saying and doing
1t is pity that girls cannot be
brought to an earlier realization Of
how greatly this abruptness of man
ner conflicts with their mental com
fort. Many and many well mean
ing girl las forfeited Il coveted pleas
ure by her awkwardness OF speech and
manner She has permitted herself to
be misrepresented by compelling
something within her which she de
tests thoroughly. but seems to be pow
erless to control.
Sometimes this unlovely trait comes
from self consciousness. It's possessor
may really be very shy, painfully SO,
and her effort to conceal it may result
in an exhibition of bravado. With her
heart aflutter and cheeks afame she
actually swaggers. talks brusqueIy and
does her best to maintain an appear
ance of recklessness which is strange
ly Hnbecoming to the sex.
Still more frequently may abrupt
ness be ascribed TO an overflow of
good spirits. A young girl endowed
with abundant health and energy Is
sometimes disposed to regard conven-
tApitiltS as NDAANALiil5- ~ OC OlSlN-
garded with impunity She is apt to
declare that she has no patience with
the accepted way of doing things. aud
she adopts whatever is odd and pro-
nounced in manner She is especial
ly addicted TO what she regards as
''plain speaking" and her conversa-
ton is ,interarded with slang express
sions. She is -intoIaranf Of the advice
of her elders, and when It is offered to
her she manifests her unwiI1inguess
to receive ii IN terms that are not to
be found in the vocabulary of a per
feet lady" This is the type Of girl for
whom time and experience will do
much.
Another species os abruptness may
be referred e seis#hae.;s pure and
simple AS long as she is having
