THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.
Children's Horror of Physicians is
Handicap to Them.
(By Observer"

Only short time ago was Wis.
itor in a home where a little girl had
just recovered from what her par
ents and the family physician had
feared would be fatal illness.
The conversation between the
mother and the physician on his las.
visit was, think, we'll worthy of re-
cording here. The mother had told
the doctor she felt so thankful that
he had saved her child's life.
THAT may be, said the physician,
"but your own training of that child
is what has more likely saved her
life. Teaching ner how TO gargle, 10
have her temperature taken, to have
her throat examined, and to take
even bad-tasting medicine when nee
essary has made it much easier for
me and far better for the child. Many
of my little patients have fear of
a doctor and think Of him with as
much horror as though he were big
black policeman coming TO get them.
Then they resist every effort we make
to help them. Consequently, they
raise their temperature, excite their
nerves and thus get little benefit
from our treatment. wish every
mother would teach her children that

PIPE STEM IN HIS TONGUE.
Cedar Rapids Man Carried Souvenir
About For Long Time.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Nov. 30.-Af-
ter going for three years with piece
of bone pipe stem an inch and half
long in his tongue, Thos. Golfer,
aged 81, submitted to an operation
on Saturday for the removal of it.
1t was while celebrating his birth
day three years ago that Mr.. Crofter,
engaging in a friendly wrestling
match with a son-in-law, fell on his
face with pipe in his mouth. The
stem broke and a part of it could not
be found. Not until several months
later did Mr.. Crofter notice swell
ling in his tongue. Fearing it might
be cancer he finally consulted "a
physician a few days ago and discov-
cred, much to his surprise that he
had been carrying the missing pipe
stem around in his tongue for three
years. When the stem was removed
1t was noticed that it had not ever
been splintered.

TWO RABBITS WITH ONE SHOT
One-Armed Hunrer Hangs up Record
That is Seldom Equaled.

Killing two rabbits with the dis
charge of single barrel of a shot
gun is most unusual experience for
any hunter, to say nothing of the ac-
complishment providing the hunter
has but one arm. Such a feat YVES
the experience of Dewey F. LaPlant,
a Western Union Telegraph operator
of Marshalltown, who lost his left
arm twenty years ago this winter
while hunting rabbits.
The other day LaPlant went out
rabbit hunting, the mere fact that he
had lost an arm at the game never
having caused him to be "gun-shy."
A rabbit got up ahead of LaPlant
and when it was far enough away 80
that LaPlant thought he wouldn't
shoot him to pieces, pulled the trig-
ger. The rabbit fell dead in his
tracks. The very instant LaPlant
shot another rabbit turned a somer-
sault in the air and fell dead within
a few feet Of where lay the rabbit
LaPlant had shot at. The second
rabbit happened to be in direct line
also to receive The charge from the
point where he was hiding, and La
Plant bagged two at the expense of
a single shot.

Cheap Grain Bags

San Francisco, March 28.-Too
many laws have made the jute bags
manufactured at San Quentin abso-
lutely unstable, it is said.
The difficulty began when the last
session of the Legislature enacted a
statute to the effect that the state
board of prison directors should es.
tablish the price of jute bags on the
last day of January for the ensuing
year and that the price so established
should not be changed for IL months.
The avowed purpose was to protect
the farmer from sudden changes in
the price of wheat sacks during the
season.
When the Underwood tariff bill put
burlap on the free list, the resultFls
that jute bags are coming in from
Calcutta and being sold for less than
the law made price of the San Quen-
tin bags. While the quoted figure in
the markets for San Quentin bags
stands fixed at 81ac, the product OF
the cheap labor of India is finding a
ready sale in California at from. 8 to
sac.
As the California law stood before
the prison directors were permitted
to change the price of jute bags on
May 81, if any remained unsold at
that date under the figure established
in January.

sisters, no brothers, no friends, no
memory" said Villa, "when the well
fare of my country is at stake" And
that night Manuel died.
Villa doesn't drink or smoke. It's
an old story that he first began life
as q bandit when a rurale, mounted
policeman, outraged his sister and
was killed by Villa, who had to flee
for his life. A mysterious American
girl has been his consort for several
years; she is black eyed, black hair
ed and beautiful. Villa is a bad man
as far as the customs of civilization
90. There can be no doubt of it. But
he is a strong man, who controls
not only other men, but himself. When
he is bad it isn't through weakness,
and that may be point in his favor.
In the latter months he has begun
to paw more attention to the business
side of his revolution. Whenever he
goes to town he establishes an Of
flee. He receives his callers in busi-
ness like fashion, dressed in business
clothes, listens impatiently when Il
story is too long and then gives his
decision like a shot. And he mas
never been known to change, whether
he was right or wrong. Is Villa a
killer? It's easy to answer. He is.
He has taken the lives of scores of
men, many of them in cold blood.
He has pulled Pascual Orozco's nose
in the very presence of Orozco's body
guard hoping to get an excuse to
shoot him. He entered the city Of
Ell Paso with only three men and tried
to kill Guisippe Garibaldi. "Kill' is
Villas solution of most difficulties.
He has come unscathed through a
thousand close calls just because he
is always able to get his gun out first.

chihuahua. Mex, March 2S.-Noon
time of a cold ray day, in the noun
tains: a score of Mexicans sitting
around a camp fire, their guns and
cartride belts beside them; an Amer
lean miner rides up to the fire. "Wel-
come. senor," says the captain. The
Mexicans feed the newcomer. The
time comes for him to go. He start
off over the mesa on his horse, after
hearty goodbyes. "Wait, senior, one
minute" shouts the captain. The
American obeys; the captain comes
running UP to him. "When you go to
chihuahua don't tell Villa that you
saw us sitting around the campfire
at noon time. You see. he sent us out
to find the bandit Castillo. He would
not like to know that we were rest
ing at noon time. We were only talk
ing over what we had better do to
find that diablo Castillo. But don't
you tell Villa, huh -
This is only one of the hundred
incidents that shows the tremendous
power that Villa eXerts over his SOL
diers. All of Villas soldiers are vol
unteers. While Huerta, in the Mex
lean capital, is seizing farmer boys in
the market places and dragging faith
ers from their families at midnight
to get soldiers, Villa is getting them
in this fashion:
1--WE wish to join your army" say
two Mexicans, approaching the rebel
leader. "Did you ever fight before ?"
snaps Villa, half closing his dull,
gun metal colored eyes "No, Senior"
why do you wish to join?" "For
cur country" answered the poems.
"Well. I'll take you," says Villa. And
then he snaps out: "But if I ever see
you run or quit fighting I'll kill you
myself. Understand ?" "Si, senor," de-
clare the delighted poems.
Villas looting in store in Manaca
was the height of orderly pillage. He
had given orders that any man who
looted would be shot, and five men
were killed that day. But he learned
that a Spaniard, owner of the larg
est store in town, had been working
against the rebels. The next day Villa
himself went to the store and took
possession. Squads of 20 men were
permitted to enter the store at a
time "Hand. down those hats" said
Villa, pointing to a supply of broad
brimmed Stetsons. The clerks
brough down hundred or more hats.
"Come here, Jose," said Villa to a
soldier "Take off your hat" Then
