THE PENDULUM!

Can husbands be cured of going
out nights?
This is the palpitating question
which the great o. Henry discusses
in 1.-THE PENDULUM" which The
Day Book will present to its readers
this week in its superlative series of
SATURDAY SHORT STORIES FOR
SUMMER.
This question, and an allied one
DOES absence really make the heart
grow fonder-are both answered. At
least they are answered according to
o. Henry's lights.
HUSBANDS!
Does o. Henry tell the truth as to
why YOU go out nights?
WIVES!
Does o. Henry tell the truth as to
whether absence makes the heart
grow fonder?
READ THE PENDULUM" AND
SEE!
SATURDAY!
IN THE DAY BOOK!

LIMB BROKEN
WHILE COAST|NC

Miss Ethel, seven-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Sutor, met
with an accident Monday afternoon
about five O'Clock while coasting witt
other young people OH the Drake
street hill near the J. B. Arpin resi-
dence. 1t appears that while thus
sliding on the coaster, the boy who
was steering the coaster, in some
way, misguided the sled and run into
telephone-pole and the water-tank at
the base of the hill They were UNI
der considerable speed and the oc
cupants Of the coaster We're tipped
off and some of them thrown against
the water tank and telephone pole.
In this manner Miss Ethel, had the
bones of her right limb fractured be
tween the ankle and knee. She was
taken home and the fractured member
set by the family physician and she
has been getting along nicely ever
since. The young people have been
making the most of coasting on the
Drake street hiM, morning, noon and
evening. They have been having de
ightful times and We are sorry that
this accident happened to little Miss
Ethel. The sport is so enticing that
even grown people and parents Of tn
children join in the sport. Occasion
ally accidents in this and other nature
will happen in spite of the most pru
dent care.

After making a mush of nearly 500 miles, Noah Blough, old-tmer is back u Dawson with the toes on both feet extremely sore, and thank ing his stars he got back with his life. He is Bill Cutbbert's uu- dergoing repairs. Noah left Daw- son November Is, and broke trail up the Yukon to White, S2 miles, and then hiked for Chisana. He covered all the distance with exception of little more than one days mushiug when he broke thru the shell ice on the Beaver river twice within all hour. and was wet to his waist.
 Realizing the condition was in, and that l had to hustle or lose my life", says Noah, q hiked back ten miles, u Horsfelt. When I got there my toes were frozen, and l had a painful time thawing them Then I had to give up the trip to ChiSana, and slowly made my way back to Dawson. At Snag, Dr. Ran dy McLennan, Yukon councillor, patched up my toes. Boys along the route helped me greatly with many a generous lift, and I got back here Thursday. I had started to Chisana to look after my property. 1 will have to wait here now until March before starting again.

SAYS APPENDIX Is
 MUCH ABUSED ORGAN

Paris. Dec. 31-That the appen- dix is a much abused organ and Of the utmost importance to man, was the gisC Of a paper read here to- day before the academy of Sciences. Submitted to the Academy by Ed muud Perrier. the thesis was the result of experiments conducted by Dr. R. Robinson, of the Museum of Natural History.
 Dr. Robinson maintained that the appendix cannot be removed without injury to the system because it dis charges, under normal conditions, a liquid called "hormOne" which aids the work Of the iutestines. ''Hermoue' is a name given any sub stance derived from au organ and able to stimulate a function of the body. The removal of a healthy ap- pendix, pr. Robinson concluded, is a great mistake.

 Members of the party absolutely refused to be interiewed on the re- suit of the expedition, but 1t was understood that the proposition sub mitted to the eastern and British fi- nanciers was satisfactory, with the exception of the condemnation of a certain water right on the river and that if this is co~"1"'-1 sat- isfactorily an effort will be made to raise the gigantic sum needed this winter.
 That some enormous undertaking in connection with the development Of the hydro-eneTgy at Priest Rap ids was under way first became ap- parent three weeks ago, when Per cy Rockefeller, largely interested in the Chicago Milwaukee Railroad, President A. J. Earling and H. R.
