THE UNCARVED PATIENT.

At Newport News, Ernest Carpen-
ter was taken to hospital to be OPP
Grated on for appendicitis. 1t was
believed that his condition was so
critical he could not survive unless
promptly investigated internally.
When he saw the instruments and the
white gowned surgeons and nurses
terror seized him and lent him
strength-also speed. He inconti-
nently fed, resisting all efforts to
hold him. He went home, slept well
and arose to eat a hearty breakfast,
and his veriform appendix behaved
itself.
Here is subject for speculative con
sideration. Was the sudden cure a
case of the superiority of mind over
matter? Was he cured by mentally
deciding that he did not have appen-
dicitis anyway? or was it that his af-
Fiction was not real but imaginary?
1t may have been the latter, for that
fear of disease may give rise to the
symptoms of the disease itself is a
fact recognized by diagnosticians. 1t
is stated that since so much has been
written about pellagra there have
been more of pseudo-pellagra than
the real thing.
But this Newport News fiasco of
fers a valuable hint to surgeons.
Opening up of the innards to remove
the appendix is a costly operation
some unkind persons say that the cost
is contingent on the worldly means of
the man opened, in other words, that
the charge is all the traffic will bear.
Anyway, it costs a pile. Hence the
wise surgeon will see that no pros
poet" takes French leave so hastily
and unceremoniously. The remedy is

fore he gets a chance to get alright

HOUSE BILLS

ENOUGH FOR ALL WEEK
GOV. ROBINSON HAS SIGNED
THE TEXARKANA FRIEDELL
WHISKEY BILL.

Little Rock, Feb. 8.-House bills
fairly rained in the senate Friday
afternoon, and enough bills were read
first and second time and made spe-
eials orders TO take up all of the time
on house days of next week-Tues-
day and Friday-with reading them
the third time and calling the roll on
their passage
Working Friday afternoon is a
rare pastime for the senate, but it
was work-day session, once the
members decided to take a chance at
the bitter dose. Twenty four meas
ures were considered, four of which
were passed.
The only thing to break the monot-
ony of the rapid fire of house bills
was the announcement from Cover
nor Robinson that he had signed S. B.
No 20, bill which has become a his
tory maker in the state, it being in
PRODUCED by Senator Friedell to pro-
hibit the sale of liquor within 10
miles of a schoolhouse in Texarkana
This bill was passed through the SEN
ate little effort, and afterwards pass
ed by the house after a spectacular
fight. Strong efforts were made to
have the bill vetoed by Governor Rob-
inson, but he declined to entertain the
arguments advanced by the people of
Texarkana who fought the bill.
Among the house bills to be read
was that by Ragon, substituting the
electric chair for hanging as a mode
for the execution of persons convicted
of murder in the first degree, or 9th
er capital crimes. The Posey 'pure
shoe" bill also was up for two read
ings and amended so that it will
not go into effect until 1915, instead
of 1914, as provided in the bill.
