A Professional
Episode
By DONALD CHAMBERLlN

While the Spanish-American war
was being fought a very pretty girl
came into my consulting room-I am
an oculist-with a very sad face and
surprised me by asking me to take
out n of her eyes. My first suppose
ton was that it had been injured and
she dreaded that it would affect the
sight of the other one. but upon study
ing her face for a time l saw indica-
lions of an unbalanced mind. So J
simply asked her for her reasons.
II am engaged to a soldier boy now
in Cuba" she said, land he has writ
ten me that a Spanish bullet took out
one of his eyes. He says that he will
never permit me to sacrifice myself
for him. If 1 have the same disig-
urement he can't talk So"
It seemed likely that the girl had
brooded over her lovers misfortune
and the danger of losing him till her
mind had become affected. But 1 did
not believe that her trouble was per-
manent. l tried to persuade her to do
something to divert her mind from her
trouble, but finally, realizing the fulfil
ity Of reasoning with II suffering
from mental depression and fearing
that she might do herself bodily in
jury. l said to her:
Every we'll. If by this day week
you still feel as you do come here at
3 o'clock in the afternoon and ] will
perform the operation"
I was so busy during the next week
that I never once thought of the girl
till on the afternoon I had appointed
she came in promptly at the hour
named. 1t seemed to me that the
shortest. the easiest and the safest
way to get rid of her would be to pre-
tend to do what she asked. So l told
her that if l took out her eye she
would have to wear a bandage over it
till the wound healed. otherwise she
would lose the sight Of her other eye
and become totally blind. I would not
operate without her promise not to re-
move the bandage herself or permit
any one else except me to do so. She
gave the required promise.
i maze Cne same preparations us IL
l were about to perform a real opera
ton, putting on my rubber apron
making myself look like q butcher
then called In an assistant, to whom I
had explained what l proposed to do,
and, placing the girl In an operating
chair, directed my assistant to apply
an anaesthetic. AS o 0 as the pa
tent had lost consciousness ] placed a
pad over the eye In question and held
It In position by means OF bandages.

Cairo and other cities where the condi-
tons are suitable.
From Egypt the tourists will cross
the Mediterranean to southern Italy.
Games will be played at Naples,
Florence and Rome, and the players
will also visit Nice. There is some
doubt, however, just what route will be
taken from there.
Two ways are being considered, one
Of which is to tour the cities of France
and then go to England, Scotland and
Ireland and sail for home from Queens
town. There is some question. how
ever. as to whether or not the weather
conditions will be suitable for baseball
in these countries early in the year. If
the conditions warrant it these Dun
tries will be visited. The other plan is
to sail to Panama, where the Ameri-
can population is large enough to in

Chicago, Feb. S.-Gold n white

delegation of ~suffragettes in the ma
tional parade in Washington on
March 8. The first one was brought
to headquarters here from the GUS
toners. White b~roadcloth is the
foundation, with trimmings of gold
braid and nine blue stars (for the

note of color. An especially beau
tiful costume is being designed by
Mrs. George w. Trout, president of
the Illinois society, who will carry
the banner.
The costume consists of a white
stole trimmed with gold braid. On
the front of the stole is the word
illinois, On the end, which is to
be tossed over the shoulder, are en-
broidered the blue stars. A jaunty
little cap of white and gold is made to
sit Well-doWn on the head. Each
marcher will carry a white pennant
with illinois, embroidered on it in
gold.

thusiasm at headquarters and caused
