KEOKUK SCENERY
FROM DING'S PEN
Or. Bars. Friend Does Little keo-
kuk Boosting Through Register
and Leader.

Last week DR.. G.. Walter Barr had
party OF house guests whose single
purpose seemed to be to enjoy them
selves; now it seems as If they are
trying to pay back the hospitality ex-
tended them by doing whole lot OF
advertising advertising that is worth
several thousand dollars. And it's
not costing this municipality penny.
It's the best advertising Keokuk has
received for long time-thanks to
DR.. Barr and several other Keokuk
people who assisted in entertaining
the guests.
Today there appeared in the Des
Moines Register and Leader car
toon drawn by J N. Darling cRngo
in which Keokuk was featured. 1t was
a clever cartoon and one that will be
observed by good many thousand
people today
George Fitch, who draws about s400
or $500 a story from the Saturday
Evening Post for writing Siwash
stories, is not charging Keokuk cent
for the column after column of space
he has given the city in the Peoria

HARD TIMES FOR DOCTORS
Their Fees Were Small in Babylon
and Failure to Cure Meant
Torture.

Babylonian surgeons four thousand
years ago had not the easy time OF
their modern colleagues. The French
archaeological commission has Just
discovered there tablet containing
some interesting facts about the
Babylonian Bob Sawyer. For all op.
erations performed with knife" pa
tients were to pay twelve silver
shekels. which is about $S.75 OF Amer
lean money. A broken leg or arm
must be set for So. and teeth were
drawn at the uniform rate of seventy
five cents.
All the same, this must have been
pretty good pay for the time. because
the tablet in question goes on to enum-
crate the punishment melted out to sur.
geons who made professional mis-
takes. These would appeal even less
to the modern medical man than the
low fees.
When an operation caused the death
of a patient the unfortunate surgeon
had both his hands cut off; and when
he did not cure his patient in reason
ably quick time, the tablet tells us
that his fee was confiscated by the
government. It does not mention wha'
was considered reasonable time fo'
healing.

THE DRAGONS BACKBONE.

An Odd Incident of Railroad construo-
ton In China.
When there was undertaken the con-
struction OF the railway between kirin
and Newchwang. the seaport of Man
churia, it was proposed to make a
junction at place called Lans;ien, out
side the city of Mukden. For this per-
mission had to be obtained from tho
Tartar general of Mukden. This func-
tionary at once proceeded to call In his
geomancers, n species of SoOthsayers.
who gave information concerning the
good fortune and i'll fortune Of sites
and We're supposed by the Chinese to
know what demons and dragons In
habited the earth under the, surface.
These wise men reported that the
dragon whose body encircled the holy
city of MuAden lay coiled up in such q
way that if the railway came through
Lanpien the long nails driven into the
ties would pierce his backbone and II
all probability set him to raging VIC
lently. to the great detriment OF the
people of Mukden.
The general consequently refused thu
application Of the railway people ant
directed them to carry the road in ,
straight line from Kirin to New
chwang. avoiding Mukden. The en-
gineers thereupon appealed to the vice
roy, showing that as this proposed
route would go through a marshy AM
uninhabited country. it could not b
profitable for their enterprise.
The viceroy wrote to the general 0
| Mukden, highly commencing him flo
his discretion in consulting the gee
i mancers. but suggesting that thes
sage persons go over the ground agai
and see If they could not find plac
where the nails would not be likely
strike into the dragons back, Accord
ingly, at the command of the vicero.
the general had his geomancers ind
cate spot for the junction at Lanpie
where they thought that, after all, tt
dragons backbone would be safe.
