Il

Fescara is the home of Donna
Luisa, the mother Of Gabrielle DAN
nunzio, and a fine old lady she is.
She spends her declining days in a
grand mansion in a quiet street and
nothing interests her that is not con-
nected with the life and doings of
her son. She sees him but seldom.
''The public has taken him away
from me-" says Donna Luisa, mourn
fully.
However, she receives a letter or
telegram from Gabrielle daily. Some
of these kilograms contain only the
words:
dearest mamma, l am thinking
of thee"
Speaking of her son, Donna Luisa
said:
Gabrielle commences life anew
every morning. Every day he has a
new ambition, new projects. As to
his works, he cares nothing for them
after their publication. When the
public once gets hold of my sons
new work, it is dead to him."

Prosecuting Attorney Crdw-
ford has a rather peculiar.case on
his hand. Last Saturday after
noon the ladies of the Christian
church at Dewitt work d hard
preparing a Christmas tree for
the Sunday school children. AT
six O'Clock they won't home to
prepare for the entertainment Of
which was scheduled for seven
O'Clock. During their absence
two boys about l6 years old took
possession. They had been hunt
ing and had captured a skunk.
They took the contents of the
skunk S cologne bottle and seat
tered it all over the interior Of
the church and then made their
getaway. When the ladies re
turned the odor in the room was
unbearable. AS the congregation
gathered the odor seemed to grow
worse, and various remedies were
used to kill the odor, but they
were useless and the congrega-
ton was dismissed after a hur-
ried distribution of presents. Mr..
Crawford was called to Dewitt.
He will issue warrants for the
boys as soon as they come out
from their hiding place.-Carroll-

Vital organ Transp'snted From Hu
nan Body to Living Patient for
First Time in History.

For the first time in the history Of
surgery a vital organ has been trans
planted from a human body to a liv-
ing patient, says the New York
Times. The kidney that is to serve,
if present promise is fulfilled, in lieu
of a tuberculous organ excised, has
been successfully transplanted by
DIR. Hammond Of PHILADELPHIA, in
the presence of surgeons who had
heard DR., Alexis Carrel describe last
week, at the clinical congress in that
city, his own successful transplanta-
ton to a human patient of the kid
ney Of a dog.
The diseases of old age are largely
those that affect special organs. Much
has lately been learned about organic
processes. DR.. Meltzer, of the Rock
efeller institute, has lately demon
strated that the bodily organs and
nerves and tissues have a circulatory
system of their own, Independent of
the heart and lymphatics. They may
be removed and kept alive in cold
storage, or made to grow, in a
more nourishing medium than the
fluids, to enormous size. Kid
neys and other glands are often
found unserviceable because stanted
and atrophied. We may soon hear of
one excised, grown to normal size,
and r%eplanted whole. The subject
Of DR.. Hammond's operation was
in falling heir to the kid
ney of a healthy man killed by an
accident, The percentage of f%atali-
ties of healthy human beings to the
number of diseased organs in living
persons has never been computed. 1t
cannot be large. If the organs and
of animals can be utilized
there will be enough to go around,
and lives that might in former times
have been despaired of may be con-
siderably prolonged.

GOMEZ PROTESTS ACTION
Does Not Want U. S. Battleship at
Present lime.

ADMINISTRATION Gomez sent a
cablegram to President Taft, in which
he protests in friendly but firm tones
against the Intervention by the United
States.
1T is my duty to say so serious
resolution alarms and hurts the feel
ings of a people who love and are jeal-
GUS of their independence" he says.
After reeiting that he had received
from United States Minister Beaupre
a note informing him that the Wash
ington government had ordered a gun
boat to Nipe bay and a strong naval
concentration at Key West in antici-
patton of possible eyentualities, and
also in event that the Cuban govern
ment was unable to protect American
property, it was the intention to land
forces for that purpose. President Co
mez says the government is doing its
utmost, having within four days sent
5000 troops by land and sea to crush
rebels in Oriente. and in that short
time having restored order in all parts
OF the island with that exception.
He also says that 5000 rifles, with
ammunition, have been distributed to
loyal citizens, and that the govern
ment is prepared to flood the compare
lively small disturbed section with
regulars and volunteers.
Il appeal to you,' he continues, "as
a loyal friend of Cuba, respecting her
rights, that you will be convinced that
this government is capable and suffi-
GENTLY supported by the valor and
patriotism of the Cuban people to deal
promptly with few unfortunate and
misguided persons without reason or
flag.
III you understand these conditions
you will perceive that it is not the part
of friendly government to contrib
ute under such circumstances to the
embarrassment of a government and
people such as those of Cuba, placed.

but not lacking in its methods, patriot
ism and courage"
