OUR WOMEN PRETTIEST.
French Artist Declares American Girls
Are Worldbeaters.

Paul Ilelleu, the famous French art
list, says American women are the most
beautiful in the world. He has lately
returned to Paris after visit to Amer.
lea, and his ideas on the subject are
decided. He is making an album of
the prettiest women I'm Paris. New
York. London and Bueuos Aires.
Among the American women" the
artist said recently, I'VE find the great
est duality of beauty. Beauty is COM
mon To them. In every class, In socie-
ty and in the factories, we find that
their good looks prevail They are as
well dressed rs Parisians and far
healthier.
"To find pretty woman in Paris one
must so in search Of her In America
she is to he seen everywhere"

SAVES BOYS LIFE
BY TUBE MIRACLE.
New York Surgeon Performs
Astounding F0at.
CASE ENTIRELY HOPELESS.
Or. Kenyon, Lecturer at Fordham Hos
pital, New York City, by Means Of
ingenious Arrangement Preserves
chiId's Punctured Lung by Sending
Air Into uninjured Member Alone.

Air Into uninjnred Member Alone.
BY device so unusual that It seem
ed to the surgeons and physicians who
witnessed 1t more like feat Of leger-
demain than one Of the most modern
operations, Dr. flames II. Kenyon Of
New York city sustained the life of n
supposedly fatally injured boy for two
weeks and brought him through to
what is now predicted will be com
plete recovery.
The child Is John Burkert, seven
years oil. Of 5D7 East One Hundred
and Seyentietii street, New York city
A fortnight ago the boy was run down
by team and was taken TO Fordham
hospital In n dying condition.
The house surgeon who examined
the small patient saw that he was In
need Of instant attention and hurried
him into an operating room for exam
nation
Only Few Minutes 10 Live.
A glance Was sufficient to tell them
that the case, from their point of view,
was hopeless. The wheels of the
heavy wagon had crushed In the little
fellows breast, breaking the collar
bone and driving fractured rib In Mt
such an angie that it had punctured
one OF the lungs. The surgeons busted
themselves doing the few things that
suggested, but agreed that within ten
minutes fhe boy would be dead.
Just then a group Of surgeons and
physicians who had been attending a
clinic mt Fordham university passed
through the hospital and DR.. Kenyon,
who had been giving the lecture, was
among them. He entered the operat-
ing ROOM looked at the boy and then
turned to the surgeons.
Hell not die" he remarked coolly.
Bring me a quart bottle and some
glass tubes"
AS attendants ran to carry out the
order and the astonished surgeons
grouped themselves around DIR. Ken
Won slipped into a surgeons apron and
gloves. As soon rs the appliances ar
rived he filed the bottle half full OF
water and inserted one Of the glass
tubes in such a fashion that its lower
endremained IN the water.
One Lung Does Work.
Or Kenyon made an incision be-
tween the fourth and fifth ribs. lifting
the broken rib out of the lung In
which it was inibedded and inserting
the tube whose other end remained in
the water. The second tube was then
connected with the uninjured lung
and the broken breast bone set BY
means of the tubes the uninjured lung
received its capacity of air, while the
other. cut off by the volume of water.
remained closed.
The boy lived throughout the night
and the day following showed symp-
toms of Improvement. The tubes were
removed and replaced regularly, and
DR. Kenyon visited the small patient
daily. The improvement continued. un.
Ill a few days ago an examination
showed that the broken ribs and collar
bone We're healing fast and that the
injured lung was almost free OF conges-
ton. Then the tube was removed. and
the child's recovery is now only a mat
ter of days.

Philathea Notes.

A large number of the Philathea
class were in attendance at the regu-
lar meeting Sunday morning. The
fact that the class was the largest in
the Sunday school On Rally Day Is
one of which to be proud. The Phila-
thea pins had arrived during the
week and were donned at this time.
At the last business meeting the
west room of the church was decid~

have it ready for occupancy by next

Little Girl Sca1ded.

John Garver's little daughter,
Verna, fell backwards into bucket
of scalding hot water, Thursday, and
was badly burned about the thighs.
She is doing nicely at the present,
and will undoubtedly fully recover.
Her mother was preparing the water
to wash some window curtains. She
stepped into the kitchen to get some
cold water and when she returned
Verna was standing with her back
to the bucket of hot water. Her
mother told her to stand aside, but
instead of doing 10 she stepped back
wards and sat down In the bucket of
hot water We think It prudent to
describe just how it happened, as so
many ridiculous stories are told, and
innocent persons blamed for ur1avoid-
able accidents of this and other
Chronicle.

Methodist Church Notes.

The weather was rather unpleas-
ant for our Rally Day last Sunday.
The Sunday school, however, made
an excellent showing with 1852 pres
ent. There was noticeable IN
crease in the adult departments. Inc.
morning preaching service, too, was
unusually we'll attended by our mem
bers and friends. In addition to the
anthem by the choir, fine duet was
sung by Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Manley.
Friday afternoon ten of the young
err girls of the Sunday school met IN
the church basement for a social time
and to organize Junior Philatheas.
There are now 16 enrolled.
The electric lights failed last Sun
day evening; but Epworth League
and evening services were held by
lantern and candle lights.
No mid-week service was held last
night, nor will there be any this
coming Wednesday evening as the
pastor will still be out of town.
Choir rehearsal was necessarily
held last evening because of the
meeting of the Decatur County Med1-
cal Association in the church today
Following the chicken pie dinner IN
the basement is a program to be CIV
en- in the auditorium of the church
by the association at 1880.
The pastor is in attendance this
week at the National Convention or
Methodist Men in Indianapolis. Five
thousand delegates are expected.
The many speakers are of national
and international reputation. 1t will
indeed be a great convention.
Bro. George P. Campbell, of Davis
City, will occupy the pulpit both
morning and evening next Sunday.
You will want to hear Brother Camp
bell.
There will be Sunday school and
Epworth League as heretofore next
Sabbath. The numbers that did not
appear on the Rally Day program In
the Sunday school will be given in
the near future.

Abba Editor Knocked Out Il Bully
Who Wanted to Whip the Editor.

Horace Barnes, the little runt who
is editor of the Abba Republican,
one of the best weekly papers in the
state of Iowa, missed great chance
for a scare head article last week
when he failed to write up in his
usual graphic style the visit Of a
bully to the Republican office who
came with the avowed intention OF
whipping the editor. Horace is small,
but not afraid of any man on earth
and Mr.. Bully got what was coming
to him. Horace was too modest to
say anything about the affair in his
own paper but the Abba Union tells
of it as follows:
About two weeks ago Harry Evans
got into an offensive mix-up at Bux-
ton that wasn't credit to any mans
reputation. Horace Barnes, editor
in-chief of the Republican, saw a
sensation in the episode and he gave
the story to his readers regardless of
what the consequences might be.
Evans brooded over the scandal and
finally got his courage screwed up to
the fighting point. He went down to
the Republican Office Tuesday after
noon and commenced to make
rough house. Don McGl11n, Guy eQl-
tor, was in the business office and
Evans struck at him, but as
Don had a clear head he had no
trouble in warding off the blows.
Evans started into the mechanical
department Horace saw him COM
ing and exclaimed, Keep out of here
or I'll knock your id block off. y
On he went regardless of warning and
Horace picked up an iron side-stick
and swiped him across the pate with
it, cutting long cash in his scalp. AT
this interesting stage, Gerald Brown,
the linotype operator. butted in and
threw Evans into the street, and
Marshal Coon and Patrolman Ted
ford placed him under arrest and
took him to Jail where he remained
over night. Wednesday he was TAX
en- before Mayor Berry and fined 800
and costs for disturbing the peace.

Halloween Time.

Tomorrow night will be "All
Saints" or "Hallowe' en-" night. There
has been a growing tendency of re-
cent years to replace the thoughtless
deviltry incident to the celebration
of the evening with amusements that
do not involve the wanton destruction
of property or mirth that does not
invoke grievious consequences. Par
ents are becoming more inclined to
direct the activities of their boys
straint. To encourage Halloween"
parties that provide mirthful recre-
alton that does not tend to stunt the
moral and spiritual growth. The old
fashioned jack-O'-lantern in it's var
ious form is as in the days of our
colonial ancestors, the prime favor
ite and many of the old traditions
that have come down from those
days of witches and COLLINS stalking
about to play strange pranks on be-
lated pedestrians can be harmlessly
perpetrated at these parties. The
decorations that are provided for this
year are very helpful for this event
and the pumpkin faces, the witch
cutouts, the black cats, the autumn
leaves and~the elegant crepe paper
tablecloths and napkins are all that
one could possibly wish for this
event. Instead of boys and girls
roaming the streets on this night
there should be provided for them a
number of parties in the various
homes where the best time could be
had. It's just as easy to have young
folks activities working in right lines
as vicious ones and it's certain if
parents do not provide harmless
home amusements many are too
liable to provide some form of amuse-
ment that will not conform to the
ideas of the ultra prudent. This is
a time that some of the elders too
could take for little old fashioned
hospitality to recall days of their
youth.
