Unlike Some Physicians.

An interesting story is related
of San Francisco woman and
her physician. The doctor per-
formed an operation very sue
cessfully upon this woman, who
was quite wealthy. When asked
for his bill, the phssician pre-
scented one for fifty dollars. The
good lady smiled.
Do you consider that a suffici-
emit charge, doctor? she asked,
considering my circumstances?
That is my charge for the OPP
GRAFTON, your circumstances have
nothing to do with it.
The lady drew a check for five
hundred dollars, and presented
it to him. He handed it back,
saying: / cannot accept this
Ny charge for that operation is
fifty dollars.
Very well, the lady replied,
keep the check, and put the bal
ance q my credit.
Some months after, she re.
ceiyed a long itemized bill, upon
which were entered charges for
treatment of various kinds, rem
dered to all sorts Of humanity,
male and female, black and
white, who had been treated al
her expense. She was so de-
lighted at it, that she immediate
" placed another check for five
hundred dollars TO his credit on
the same terms, and II is now be-
ing earned in the same way.

and more exciting as 1t nears the end.
Differing from other contests in that the
entrants have no way OF holding back
their full strength and making q big
showing at the finish. for the reason that
dead flies will not keep more than two
days at the most, the contestants know
daily their relative chances of winning.
One of the gratifying features of the
crusade is the fact that q number of the
SWEATERS" who have not made very high
scores. have kept plugging away at the
fly just the same. The benefit that the
city will reap from their efforts, regard
less of their chances of winning one of
The Stars prizes, undoubtedly Is the
motive which keeps them in the fight.
Chances for New Entrants.
Although the contest is in it's second
week, there is still chance for a new
entrant to win one Of the prizes. The
leaders have pretty we'll disposed OF
the fly tribe in the sections In which
they have been operating, little more
than one week being required to do 1t.
New contestants, IL they should run
across q fiy-infested area that has es-
capped the attention of any of the swat
ters," could easily build up a big score
between now and Saturday, the day the
contest closes.
Layton II. Burdette. who has been In
the lead most of the time since the cam
paign began, is making a valiant effort
to retain that position. Equally de-
termined are the others high UP in the
race to oyertake him. The margins be-
tween the topnotcherS are not SO great

sey has its quota of mosquitoes. and
sleep in the Fox home has been almost

lily to Rye Beach, and while there

When he arrived home he poured a
quantity of citronella in one of the

pillow. Then he darkened the room. 1t
wasn't long before the mosquitoes dis
covered the balloon and began boring.
A few minutes later Fox heard the bal
loon explode with a bang. He waited
to give his scheme time to work, and
then went into the room. The mos
quitoes were all dead.
In telling of the success of the ex-
pertinent Fox said: Those mosquitoes

FISH WITH FALSE TEETH.
They Belong to New Yorker Who
CAPPED on Side of Boat.

WINSTED, Conn, August "A big
mouthed bass in Highland Lake wears or
carries a set Of false teeth belonging to
James Turley of New York. who is So
journing at that resort. Turley went out
bass fishing Monday with Dennis Coffey.
The city man. his eyes and mouth wide
open, was looking over the side of the
boat into the deep. clear water. when a
swell from a passing motor boat rocked
the craft and his false teeth fell into the
lake. AS he peered downward he saw
his teeth disappear in the mouth of a
large bass, which swan away with them.
If any piscatorial artist should catch
a bass having in his possession the miss
ing teeth he will confer favor on the
owner by leaving them with Dennis Cot
fey.

ROME, July 16, 1911
Voices daily are being raised IN the
Roman press against the continual con-
version Of THE Eternal City" into n
bustling, noisy. modern capital. While
the Giornale d'Italia Is conducting
vigorous campaign against the. further
dissertation of the beautiful Villa
Borghsese, the most charming park that
any city could possess. the Tribuna pro-
tests against the proposal to run tram
down the historic Via Condotti, which
tourists know better than any other
street in Rome.
During the last few months there has
been an enormous development OF the
tramway system; the municipality has
started new service with its own
colors. red and yellow. and. If the means
of conveyance have thus been increased,
the noise has been increased also; in fact,
it is becoming difficult to find quiet resi-
dences. where the grinding Of the tram
cars does not CRATE upon the ear.
Now the Via Condotti. narrow and ele-
CANT, is to be traversed by a tram, and
from the Trinita del Monti the treveler
will. If he fortunately cannot see the
"fumum" Cthe smoke of the Policfirico
chimney, be able to hear the "strepi-
tum' of Rome still louder than at pres
ent.
