Prompt Action Promised.

The charge against Walter p Shaw,
according to Secretary Doyle of the civil
service commission, raises two questions.
Shaw is an employee of the bureau of en-
craving and printing, and his enemies
claim that he cannot be civil service
employee and hold a municipal position
also. The testimony given before Secre-
tary Doyle today charged that Shaw has
been an active political worker, and that
he went beyond the limit prescribed by
civil service rules, mentioning at Least
one instance where Shaw is said to have
been d watcher at the polls or counter
sOf votes.
Shaw made a reply to these charges
today, but what he said has not been
laid before the commission, and is, there
fore, not public.
Secretary Doyle said the matter would
be considered promptly by the commits
sion, and if Shaw appears to have viO-
lated the rules the matter will be turned
over TO Director Ralph OF the bureau of
engraving and printing for settlement.

Heroism in the Wilds.
ON the Phllsdelphia Press.

From the PhHsdelphia Press.
Neither Jack London nor Stewart Ed
ward White nor any other fiction writer
Of the same school has conceived a more
intensely dramatic incident of life in the
northern wilds of this continent than one
just reported in the news dispatches. At
Fort Hope one OF the northernmost sta
tons OF the Hudson Bay Company, where
the few residents of the white race are
cut off from civilization the whole year
round, Harry Mcpherson and his wife
have been sustaining the rigors OF
climate and hazards of isolation in that
Wild region The wife was taken Ill and
the husband with that rough and ready
knowledge of a great variety of things
which is forced upon people who are left
entirely to their own resources in such
q situation diagnosed the stricken wom
ans distemper as appendicitis.
Mcpherson had no more knowledge of
surgery than comes to a man accustomed
to giving FIRST aid" to such injured In
dams. half breeds and whites as need at
teution by reason of the ordinary acct
dents occurring at a fur station. He
knew, however. that instant action was
necessary TO save the beloved life. With
splendid courage and nerved by devotion
which inspires the great majority of men
IN the marital relation he made the in
cision and removed the vermiform appen-
dix with no other instrument than the
simple first aid" kit. This desperate
remedy for desperate disease appears
TO have been crowned with success but
the dreadful difficulties Of the case were
not vet over
Nepigon. the nearest settlement having
a hospital, was 300 miles to the south.
Transportation of the patient could only
be by canoe and portage. For this
journey the woman was prepared and ten
Indians were employed for the expedi-
ton. At one point the sufferer was
carried by the Indians for thirteen miles
over difficult ground. Finally she was
lodged in the hospital at Nepigon. Hus-
band and wife manifested heroic bravery
which must evoke thrill of admiration
in every human breast. Think of the
woman who submitted herself to that
crude surgery in an operation which
might have meant immediate death at
the hands of her husband There was
no anesthetic. no other anodyne than
loving confidence that tie husband would
do his best.
The mind can scarcely conceive what
Mcpherson must have suffered in his
mental agony during that painful opera
ton. followed by the FACILITATING anxiety
Of that brave journey 90 miles south
ward. The incident carsies its lesson
Of helpfulness to every married pair.
that lesson OF mutual confidence. love
and abiding devotion which is tho only
foundation OF true married happiness.
