Caleb ~se, however, did not like to

But Pantruche refused point blank
to allow himself to be vivisected. The
story of Jonah and the whale proved

Besides the enormous amount
agreed upon for performing the oper-
alton, the famous surgeon, Calebasse,
had received from his American mil
lionaire patient, Mrs. Nanderfeller, a
ring with a polished but uncut stone
worth a kings ransom.
This ring he had come to consider
talisman of good luck and never
performed an operation without wear
ing it. When he had that on his fling
err, he succeeded in everything; when
he took it off, even fer a moment his
hand was sure to tremble, the scalpel
would slip and the patient die.
One day when German Calebasse
had to perform a very difficult opera
ton upon rich banker at Marseilles,
who was thought to be suffering with
cancer of the stomach, he arrived at
his hospital ahead of time, and there,
wearing the ring as usual, he operated
upon three poor patients whose condi-
return. He worked with his usual
swiftness; his scalpel cut, severed and
perforated with lightning rapidity the
most vital organs, and when he stop
ped there was nothing more to do
than to put back the intestines and
stitch up the wound-a thing any be
ginner can do. The pupils of the ia
nous surgeons did this, and, as usual
the operations were so successful that
week later the three patients, in
perfect health, went back to their us
crowd
Professor German Calebasse re-
turned from Marseilles. The operation
had failed, the patient died. The fam
Gus surgeon had lost his ring.
| The autopsy on the body of the
banker proved that the ring had not
been lost in his stomach, and it must
therefore, in all probability. have been
dropped in the intestines of one of the
three poor fellows operated on at the
hospital the same day. But in whose
stomach should one look, and who
were these three unknown patients?
Not only was the ring of very great
value, but, what was more. the great
surgeon believed it to be his talisman
and it must, therefore, be recovered al
all costs.
At first luck seemed to smile upor
the professor. One of the three pa
tients had a relapse and came back tt
the hospital, but no ring was found il
him. An accident also gave the sur
geon a chance to examine the secont
patient. but his bistoury met no stone
or golden mounting. There remained
then only one man.
His name was Pantruche and h
Twas a ragpicker an honest and philc
sophical occupation. Gavarni knew
what he did when he gave to his in,
mortal Thomas Vireloque ragpich
er's bag and hook. Pantruche was til
same kind of a man. He had quic
eye and plenty of good humor.
1t was not very difficult to locat
him in his shanty outside the city
where he slept among piles of rag
and bottles. One day the surgeon
auto stopped outside his door as if b
accident.

GETS MANY LETTERS
Does Sec'y Haas as Result of
Commercial Clubs Reso-

MIssIvEs FROM SCHOOLS

From all parts of the country letters
are almost daily received by E. NJ.
Haas, secretary of the Commercial
Club, asking for copies of the resolu-
lions adopted by the local organization
In regard to the parcels post question.
About a year ago a resolution in oppo-
sition to the parcels post was passed
by the Commercial club and copy OF
the resolution was printed in the Con-
gressional Record. Since that time
the office of Secretary Haas has been
swamped with letters, principally from
schools over the country, requesting
literature on the subject. Recently a
letter was received from T. E. Boyer,
principal of the Beresford City
schools at Beresford, South Dakota,
requesting that information on the
matter be forwarded. The parcels
post question is a favorite one for de-
bate in the public schools and colleges.

A THRILLING RIDE
Texas Babe Rides $50 Miles

Express.
ENDS TRIP WITHOUT INJURY

Galveston, Tex, March 12.-When
Walter Wilberts. the fifteen months
old son of Mr.. Franklin Wilberts. a
prominent stock man of Blk Springs,
disappeared from the home the first
suspicion was that he had been kid
mapped. Following this theory several
strangers about the town were arrest
ed. But no trace of the infant was
found until word came from Barstow
a hundred and fifty miles west. on the
Texas and Pacific railroad. that a
child had been taken unhurt from
trucks of the California limited.
Just how the child got to the trucks
Is mystery. But greater still is the
mystery how the little fellow main
tanned his position on the train, which
through this section of the country
makes fifty miles an hour. The cries
of the baby as he scrambled from his
perch beneath the train attracted at
tention. Inquiry among the passengers
failed to identify the child. and the dis
covery was wired along the line.

Especial Cable from the International
News Service.1
London, March 12-There is abun-
dant evidence to show that the forth
coming Japan-British exhibition at the
White City will provide London with
a series of the most elaborate and
beautiful scenes of Oriental life it has
ever witnessed.
The enterprise has been taken up
| by Japan with extraordinary enthus-
asm. and although the area is nearly
| double that occupied by their section
at the st. Louis exhibition. every
| square foot has been already allotted.
| Count Mutsu has himself admitted
that the forthcoming display will be
| considerably the most extensive ever
| attempted by Japan outside her own
Empire.
| One of the most wonderful exhibits
promises to be an immense model of
the city of Osaka, which will contain
| reproductions in miniature OF some
100000 houses, which can be classifi-
ed into nearly 40 different styles, as
we'll IS hundred of bridges, for which
the city is famous.
In the Palace of Fine Arts. howev-
er, will be seen the most priceless
objects of the whole exhibition. These
| will include 2 number of precious eX-
amples certified as treasures of the
nation which have never before this
left japan. bat which are now being
sent over as token of special friend
ship for the British nation.
Japanese arts and industries will be
represented in each one of their my
Rad phases. and the aesthetic treat
ment and decoration of the stands, ar
ranged 50 as TO show off the contents
to the best advantage will probably
afford a useful lesson to the British
exhibitor.
A feast of color will be presented
in the great Japanese fair, which will
charm the visitor by it's artistic group
ing and novel effects. The tea houses
with their quaint ceremonies, the mys
ferrous temples, theaters, and houses
Will all be reproduced on exact lines
so that a perfect impression may be
formed of life in sunny Japan. There
will also be a village inhabited by
Amos, the original natives of Japan
who still retain the habits and Gus
toms Of their prehistoric ancestors;
, and a FormoSan village, few islanders
having been the subject of greater in
terest and speculation than the inhab
