Another Wonderful Road

From Harper's Weekly.
 1n May 1910 the new high road through inc Dolomites, running from botzeh .o Tohlach. was finally thrown open It ID ,,,iracIe of able engineering ana serves .. connecting link between the lake dis trict of Italy and Bavaria :
 Or. if one has large cities for one op- ,ective points, between Milan and venice and Munich It is worth trying to convey an impression of the magnificent scenery the picturesque and wonderful couhfrs through which the high road, as smooth and perfect as Riverside Drive, since th' recent repairs, leads one
 Rotzen on the south and Tobach on the north are the entrance gates to the great gaunt Dolomites. It was bursher or Rotzen, one Heinrich Kunter, who flrst op- tained permission to hew road rom the Brenner Pass to Botzen. He began the undertaking in the year 1914 A. D., and it is to be hoped that his happy ghost rejoices today in the perfect fulf1llment of his idea.
 The one disappointment to the motorlst on this great road is that the short cut from Botzen to Vigo di Fassa, leading through the lovely Eggen-Thal and past the Karer See, is closed to motors. For those who can foot 1t, it is worth while to bid ease farewell for a day or so and loiter through the wonderful valley. mak- ing the ascent of the lonely Kare, going up between the gloomy chalk cliffs, along steep ridges, looking far away over the valley and the rolling mountains beyond, and so learning really to know and feel these gaunt ghosts of mountains that have earned by their whiteness and ready e. factions the title Mountains of Light"

No wonder he became as pugnacious as U. s. Grant, as conceited as a Sue eessful Business Man and as self-as- sured as Chautauqua Lecturer.
 Everyone disliked him intensely but just the same they stepped off into the Mud and gave him the entire double width of Cement Sidewalk.
 Edgar, on the other hand, was one of the most popular Door-Mats that ever had Welcome" marked up and down his Spinal Column.
 All those who scratched Matches on him and used him as a Combination Hall-Tree and Hitching Post used to remark that he didn't have an Enemy in the World.
 They had corraled his Goat, so he had to play the Part himself.
 It had been dinged into him that True Politeness means to wait until everyone else has been Served and then murmur few Thanks for the Leavings.
 Besides, his Parents had convinced him that if he went Fishing he wouldn't get Nibble, and if he climbed a Tree he would fall and break his Leg, and if he tried to ma nipulate more than Two Dollars at one time he would go Blink.
 Therefore, when both were in Col lege, Rufus acted as plunging Half Back, with Blue Smoke coming from his Nostrils, and achieved the undying Distinction of being singled out by Walter Camp.
 Edgar sat up on the Bleachers with 28OO other Mere Students and lent a quavering Tenor to Song about Alma Mater.
 Even the Undergrads could not take tho Tuck out of Rufus.
 He was fresher than Green Paint and his Work was Raw, but he was so Resilient that no one could pin him to the Mat and keep him there.
 When a Boy has been told SIT times 9 day for many years that he is the Principal Feature of the Landscape, it takes more than ordinary Doctoring to Cure him.
 He left College thoroughly con vinced that the World was his Oyster and that he had an Opener in every Pocket.
 He began grabbing Public Service Utilities by Strong-Arm methods, whereupon a lot of Uplifters became excited and wanted some one else to head him off.
 He put things Across because when
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-12-17

he tucked the Ball under his Arm and began to dig for the Goal of his Im- mediate Ambition, all the Friends of Public Veal were scared Blue and re- tired behind the Ropes.
 Edgar took his Degree out into the Cold World and began to make apolo- getic Inquiries regarding Humble Employment which would involve no 1 Responsibilities.
 He became an Office Lawyer of the dull gray Variety with special Apti- tude for drawing up Leases and ex- amining Abstracts. i He could not face Jury or fight a Case because the fond Parents had put the Sign on him and robbed him of all his Gimp.
 But Nice Fellow? You know it.
 Anyone who had Book to sell, or Petition to be signed, or a Note that needed endorsing came dashing right into Edgar's Office and hailed him as the Champion Patsy.
 Not one of these ever ventured into the Lair of the Street Railway Czar, l for he knew that Rufus might jump over the Mahogany Table and bite hir1 in the Arm.
 Even Edgar, when he made Busi- ness Call on Boyhood Friend and low ing Classmate, was permitted to wait in the Outer Room, resting his Hat on his knees, and mingling on terms of Equality with the modish Typist and the scornful Secretary.
 And when they went away to look at some Properties, Rufus took the Stateroom while Edgar drew an Up- per.
 Any great big Brute of Man with Tigerish Instinct for bouncing on each Good Thing and then hanging on to it like Grim Death never can win the Esteem of the envious but anaemic Gallery.
 Everyone at the Club referred to Edgar as a Good Old Scout, but when all the Push gathered at the Round Table and some one let fall the Name of the High Binder, they would open up on Rufus and Pan him to a Whis- per.
 Then Rufus would enter in his Fur Coat, upsetting Furniture and Serv- ants as he swept through the Loung- ing Room.
 Immediately there would be an Epi- demic of Goose Pimples and Rush to shake Hands with him. Rufus was sinfully Rich, but never

Tumor Cut From Brain

Baltimore Cor Washington Post.
 Mrs. Charles Looms of Bluefeld, w Va, has been successfully operated on by Dr Harvey Cushing in the Johns Hopkins Hospital for tumor of the brain. The case is the second one on record the world over from which a patient has recovered the other successful operation having been performed in Chicago years ago.
 Never before, it is said. has an opera tion so difficult as that performed on Mrs Loomis been attempted. To reach the tu- nor, which was under the brain. Dr. Cush- ing was compelled to cut through the nose and the side of the head. using the X-ray to guide him. Two operations were re- quired.
 The operation is one of the most dan- gerous in surgery, for while the patient is on the table, which in the case of Mrs Loomis was over five hours on each oc- casion, the slightest false move on tho part of the surgeon would have bought the instrument in contact with the brain causing instant death.

| to express Regrets and hang Grape all over the Place.
 If Rufus got balled up in his An swers, his immediate Kin would pat him on the Back and tell him he was right and the Text Book was wrong.
 Edgar would emerge from the Feathers every morning to find his Parents all lined up to wish him new set of Police Regulations.
 They held up the Rigid Forefinger and warned him that he was merely Grain of Dust and Weakling anu poor juvenile Mutt whose Mission Tn Life was to Lie Down and Behave. Rufus would be aroused each Sun rise by a full Military Band of 60 pieces playing Hail to the Chief Who 1 in Triumph Advances" l Between the Buckwheats and the Sorghum, the two Family Boosters would slip him the pleasing informal tion that never since the Morning Stars pulled their first Harmonies had there bounded into the Arena an- other such Prodigy of Intellectual Brilliancy and Physical Valor:
 Consequently when Rufus hit the Fresh Air, with the McGuffey under the Arm, he wore his Chest about a foot in front of him.
 He acknowledged with Slight Nod the Salutation from some Member ot the Town Board.
 Edgar, staggering under "a Ton of Restrictive advice, would spot ku1us at a Distance and sneak into an Alley, because he didn't wish to get Blood all over his Clean Waist.
 Whenever Edgar was forced into a Battle and came home smeared ana disarranged, his Mother would go to her Room and Cry softly and Father would Paint a vivid Word-Picture of Wretch standing on the Galiows with Black Gap over his Head.
 Then Edgar would crawl to the Hav-Mow ard brood over his Moral Infirmities and try in groplng way to figure out his Relation to Things in General III ,:

When Edgar was a Tootsey he re- ceived a frequent dusting with Ex- treme Violet Halcum Powder and was allowed to play with flaxen-haired Doll named Celeste.
 About the same time, Rufus began to take Cold Baths and was propped up to look at Pictures of Napoleon and Jonh L. Sullivan and Sitting Bull.
