Great Men Who Have Helped to Co

Great Men Who Have Helped to Con-
quer Physical Pain.
What is the most important dis
covery of the nineteenth century,"
Darwin was once asked.
Painless surgery" he replied with
out hesitation. 1t benefited the race
more, he added, than the steam en-
gine, telegraph, steamship or cotton
gin.
America, now fifty years after the
death of the discoverer Of anesthesia,
which made painless surgery possible,
is just beginning to do proper honor
to William T. G. Morton. He was a
Boston dentist, who, science now
agrees, first proved the possibilities of
applying anesthesia to capital surgi-
cal operations.
Doctor Morton, like many other
pioneers, reaped more censure than
honor during his lifetime for his dis
covery. Another man disputed the
honor with him, bringing on squab-
BILE, which, to say the least Of it, was
undignified, and his native land, the
United States, paid him only in neg
lect and humiliation.
Doctor Morton was born August 10,
1919, at Charlton, Mass. He gradual
ed from the Baltimore Dental college
in 1912. There was sown the seed
that has resulted in such incalculable
benefit to the world. The young stu
dent saw the suffering caused by tooth
extraction. An idea that in some way
it should, and could, be prevented
came to him. From that time, 1t
might be said, DR.. Morton's entire life
was spent in experimenting with and
perfecting anesthesia.
He began the practice Of dentistry
in Boston and entered the Harvard
Medical school, but never graduated
as a doctor of medicine. BY chance
he found that sulphuric ether had
anesthetic qualities. Then he practi-
cally devoted all his time to expert
menting. He began to study the i'm
portance of chemistry in the practice
Of medicine with DR.. Charles T. jack
son.
He experimental on his water span
iel and nearly killed him. All sorts
of animals were given small doses Of
sulphuric ether. He even used fishes
and insects. His collection Of bottles
and strange smelling chemicals spread
over every room in his pleasant cot
tage at Wellesley. Then Mrs. Morton

Why Walk2-Toots was tearing over

ever possessed feeling thoroughly
pleased with himself and quite content
with the world in general.
Especially was he delighted with the
latest thing in motor horns that was
attached to his car. 1t was one OF those
choking dog, dog-out- of-the- way-quick
you-fool horns, one blast Of which was
guaranteed to freeze the brain OF the
most hardened yokel.
But the man in the middle OF the
road about hundred yards ahead,
was not to be frightened even by this
abomination.

Mudford was seven miles out OF the
road Toots wished to travel, but secure
in his innocence he drove there in ST.

When they reached the police station
the stranger stepped out, and said:

A Dream Sandwieh.-The late Ed
ward Morris, the Chicago meat packer
was worth over s50.000,00O. and con-
tributed every year to charity as much
money as he spent upon his home.
Mr.. Morris, like most charitable souls
had host Of anecdotes that threw a
quantity Of pathetic light on poverty.
Thus, at Christmas dinner in Chica-
go, Mr.. Morris once said:
Every eater Of a Christmas dinner
should think of the little urchin who
stood in front Of rich mans base

rich odor Of roast turkey that gushed
forth from the open window and NUT

KISSING
Newspaper Man Talks Familiarly on
| Interesting Subject.

Newspaper Man Talks FamiIiarIy on
Interesting Subject.
There's no telling who invented the
art Of kissing, but 1t is a safe asser-
ton that no other inventor ever saw
his example so universally adopted or
so gosh awfully enjoyed.
kissing is a pleasure, a habit, an
ecstacy, a duty, a sin, a crime-de-
pending altogether on the circum-
stances.
kissing baby is about the sweetest
thing on earth, but its mighty hard
on the baby. He gets such lot Of it.
Pretty girls kiss him; married women
kiss him; old bachelors kiss him-ev-
erybody's doin' it. If he were big
enough to assert himself he wouldn't
stand for it-not all of it, anyway.
But then, If he were bigger, no one
would care to kiss him.
kissing girl whose lips are like
warm velvet and whose cheeks are as
soft as the doves breast would be
about the niftiest thing, except for the
fact that no one gets to kiss that kind
of girl except raw boys who haven't
learned how to kiss.
kissing ones wife is about as near
perfect enjoyment as a mere mortal
need hope to get. But it's custom
not universally followed. Some men
never kiss this wives. And Of course
some men kiss other mems wives. The
man who doesn't kiss his wife at least
ten times a day doesn't deserve her.
The woman who doesn't want to be
kissed at least ten times O day doesn't
deserve husband. And yet, If the old
man keeps a quid Of cut plug in his
jaw, his wife who stands for ten kisses
day deserves a halo and a cushion
ed seat alongside OF Job in the New
Jerusalem.
There are many ways to kiss. A lit
tie baby merely opens its mouth and
slobbers. A coy maiden closes her
eyes and lips tight and let's some one
else do the kissing. An old maid ties
her lips into hard knot and picks at
the victim like a woodpecker. An old
bachelor Fuckers up and smacks like
the dredge Of steam shovel. Wives
real wives-kiss like the lingering
clasp of hands between men friends
who know how to love. And moth
ers? All, mothers kiss like the soft
beating of angels wings-like the
soothing notes Of some celestial harp
heard through the twilight-like
Gods benediction whispered over
ones bowed head.-Exchange

tered the lobby wrapped in what seemed
to be a cape-Iike coat made of dotted
swiss over pink silk. Yet one knew that
this woman had not by mistake worn her
inspection the cape turned out to be made
Of beautiful thin white dotted crepe,
and 1t was made up over heavy pink silk
brocade.
On the other hand. some Of the boudoir
jackets are made Of the richest brocadee,
trimmed with fur and puffs and ruchings
Of silk and velvet that make them quite
like evening coats.
The sketch elbows a cape-like coat made
Of burnt banana velvet. The wide double
pulled rufie about the edge is made OF
lemon-colored tafteta, finished with a
ruching Of the silk edged with the velvet.
This new shade. burnt banana, by the
way, is especially effective in velvet.
Yellow is more used than It has been
before for years.
One woman famous for clothes startled
the writer SO that she was nearly run
over by a street car not long ago by her
daring use Of yellow. This woman wore
a deep brown velvet suit and with it,
low Apache muffier Of duvetyn, fringed at
the ends, which hung to the waist. One
wondered IL she had an attack Of diph-
iberia and was protecting her throat
from the snow and at the same time pro-
claiming that it was diphtheria from
which she suffered.
These new mufiiers were first worn last
summer-in Paris. where our Indian name
was borrowed and used to designate an
unspeakable band Of French criminals.
BY the way, there is an interesting IT.
tie story connected with this word
Apache. A French diplomat was once
talking about them-the Paris rufians.
not the mufiier-and he pronounced the
word in two syllables. as the French.
strangely enough, do. ut is odd" he
said. "how you Americans borrowed that
word and mispronounce it-malsing three
sy!lables." It took much persuading to
make him believe that the word original
ly belong to our Indians and had three
syllables.
The mufiers. however. must be spoken
Of in two syllables. for whatever the orr
gin Of the word. the mufaers were named
for those worn by the French ruf1ians.
