YOU would have what as school chill

triangle, or one with equal sides:
and If each of these sides was formed
by a single thread with EXTENDED
ends so you could pull on them. taen
you could pull the vein itself into
this triangular shape, and then by
doing the same thing with the end Of
the other vein, you could put fhese
together, end to- end. and sew along
a straight line.
In pulling out the little Tubes OF tie

use the finest needle and the finest

can get, and make this thread ssll
smoother by drawing it through vass-
line, the holes which the needle and
thread make will be so minute that
when the tension is relaxed they win

Dr. Carrel has been able to play
with the animal machine almost as IL
it were made of tubes and rods of
brass and iron.
He has taken important organs
from one animaEthe kidneys for ex-
transported them into an
other with no evil effect.
He has taken a leg of one dog and
grated it on another in place OF one
taken away, and with no outward
evidence OF the change.
He has taken the heart of q little
dog and introduced 1t into the neck
of larger dog and linked it up with
the coronary circulation Of the latter.
and thus done literally probably what
has never been done before, all
poetry and fancy to the contrary
made two hearts to beat as one And
these are but few of his bewildef-

nice. useful beings they were. though
the one lacked heart and the other

when these questionable organs were
acquired through the Wizard.
All this, you remember, was IN

including the children, seem to think
that all the folk in the fairy book
are dead; and also the Wizard OF Oz.
But this last is a great mistake. he

millions who live in the great city
there were only a hundred or TWO
who knew of this until few weeks
ago they learned in the newspapers
that a distinguished foreign BODY the

awarded him one of the years Nobel
prizes.
Then everyone began to learn oil

mainly, we may fear. that the Nopei
prizes are the largest prizes ever

that each one means nearly $4O,ooo.

Mr.. Evans was one of the principal
speakers on the program of the
Woman's Press Club at the Waldorf
the other afternoon-that organiza-
tion being named in recognition of
the fact that no one of its members
ever had a professional connection
with the press. He told about the
growing appreciation of art in as
complete and detailed a manner as
the limits of the English language
will permit. He ricocheted from
England to Holland to France to
Spain, and played off Italy for the
corner pocket. He was anecdotal,
humorous, pathetic and statistical by
turn. One of the other gentlemen

Mr.. Chase, will support me in this.
Is not that SO, Mr.. Chaser"
Mr.. Evans turned, to gaze benign
antly upon Mr.. Chase. The feminine
audience rustled expectantly, and
craned its several rounded necks to
behold Mr.. Chase. Mr.. Chase, head
slightly upon one side, and eyes
closed, slept sweetly on. "Ah-pooo. -

warm winter morning on the
terrace at Monte Carlo. From

steal his sovereign purse. But the
nobleman seized in his strong brown
hand the pickpocket's grimy paw and,

MINOR CASES
FIND WAY TO
HIGH COURT
Use of Automatic Gun, Bread
Loaves Too Small to Suit Lo-
cal Authorities Carried to the
Highest Tribunal.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-From
small beginnings have arisen some of
the most perplexing questions to be
passed upon by the Supreme Court
this fall and winter.
Thomas w. McComb had splendid
luck duck hunting in Tjnicun town
ship, Delaware county, Pa, year
or so ago. Probably to his surprise
that days outing will bring him to
the Supreme Court. He was prose-
cuted for using an automatic gun in
the hunt. In defense he attacked the
constitutionality OF the Pennsylvania
law against the use of that type of
weapon.
Matthias Schmidinger, a Chicago
baker, is said to have made his loaves
of bread a frifie too small one day
and was fined $500 for violating q
city ordinance regulating the size of
loaves. He will ask the Supreme
Court to declare the ordinance a vio-
lation of the fourteenth amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States.
Mary T. Butts, negro woman of
Everett, Mass, thought she did not
receive the treatment to which her
ticket entitled her on vacation trip
by water from Boston to Baltimore
and return in 1907. AS an outcome
she will ask the Supreme Court to de-
eide that the old civil rights act" of
1875, which was held unconstitutional
in bitterly-fought cases many years
ago, is constitutional
Three quarts of whiskey will bring
Addison Ship-y-Tuck to court on a
charge of introducing liquor onto al
lotted lands of members of the Pot
tawatomie Indians, of Kansas.
A burn on the back of Anne
Sweeney, of the District of Columbia,
forms the basis of another suit. Onl
its outcome will depend whether
physicians are liable for burns byl
X-rays in photographing patients.
Over the meaning of the word 'auc-
tion" comes case from the Hawaiian
islands. Arrests were made there for
an alleged violation of a law requir-
ing a license for sales at auction.
Whether the government must pay
for the forage for two horses for the
late Major Nathaniel H. Mclean, of
Cincinnati, and for two servants is
involved in another case.
The shipment of wedding ring by
Edward H. Croninger, jeweler of
Cincinnati, to Atlanta, Ca, by Adams
express precipitated a case which will
determine whether express COM |
panies, since the passage of the Hep |
burn rate law, may limit their liabii-
ity for loss of articles.
Whether the back ofsa bay window
may form a party WALL Is the basis
of dispute between Lewis F. Smoot
and Thomas Heyl, of the District of
Columbia to come before the court for
decision.
