A Question Of Brains.

AZ club frequented by doctors the
discussion clme up recently whether
a person could live without a brain.
During the discourse one of the doc
tors said: when was practfcing
medicine in Indiana a remarkable case
carre under my supervision. A man
while out hunting had leaned upon his
shotgun and the weapon had gone off
accidentally, making large wound in
his head just above the ear. The brain
was laid bare and in bringing the pa
tent to the hospital a handful of the
gray matter leaked out. He-was tre-
PANIED and finally recovered. his men
tai faculties apparently as good as
ever"
"your story is interesting" inter-
rup-ed an auditor, "but it sounds to
me somewhat inconsistent.
"NVhy SOP questioned the narrator
because" answered the other doc
tor. IF he had ever had handful of
brains he wouldn't have leaned on the
National Monthly.

THE BIG BANKERS TOUR.


The big bankers excursion in upper
Wisconsin last week went through a
portion of the state that is unexcelled
anywhere in the country. no matter
what the price of land. Starting with
the margin of partially developed
country, this excursion visited Wood,
Taylor, Price, Ashland, Bayfield,, Onei-
da, Rusk, Clark and Chippewa coun-
ties. To give an idea of how the crops
Of these counties compare with those
of Illinois, which is the state with
the highest priced lands and with the
United States, the Wisconsin Adj
yancement association has prepared
the following table on the crops of
1913. The figures are official:

GEO. D HILL
Has Invented An Improved APP
plianCe For Roller Shades.

Geo. D. Hill, the well-known young
railroad man, formerly with the L..
& N. at Evansville has invented an
attachment for a window shade that
he expects to prove wonderfully prof
liable. The appliance can be attached
to any roller shade and has check
spring that keeps the roller shade
from unrolling to the end and tear
ing off where it is tackled on. 1t is
the only thing of the kind on the
market and Mr.. Hill has made his
arrangements to form a stock COM
pany to put his invention on the mar
ket. Some years ago he also invent
ed concrete railway cross-tie that
is being experimental with by sever
alrailroads to demonstrate itspractic-
ability. Mr.. Hill is at present sta
toned in Minnesota and he was in
the city the first of the week for the
first time in year. He has many
friends here who are delighted to
know of the bright prospects he has
for locating on Easy Street.
