Suspicious Of Woman's Heart

Congressman James T. Lloyd Of
Missouri smiled the other afternoon
when reference was made to smiles.
He said he was reminded of an Incl
dent along that line.
One morning Jones went to the
butcher shop at the request of mother,
and after looking over the supplies
for a minute or two he broke into con-
versation with the meat party.
Looking for something to eat" he
remarked, but don't know exactly
what l want"
Just look at this steak, sir" was
the voluble response of the butcher.

der as a woman's heart"
"Um, yes unused Jones, shifting
his glance in another direction. Guess
I'll pass on that steak. Give me some
sausage"

Soft Words RepuIse Sheriff

The recent labor union riots in
Butte had some humorous features,
according to a correspondent of the
| Muscular, who tells the story of an
| attempt by the sheriff of Silver Bow
county to prevent the looting of the
Miners Union safe by the insurgents.
| Walk up to any mar in Butte. SAYS
the correspondent, and whisper, kiss
me. Sheriff." and you have become
one of a mystic circle that unites the
| town in the common bond of mirth.
Sheriff Driscoll of Silver Bow coun.
ty, marched down the Butte hill to the
fiat near the Centennial brewery Sat.
urday night, with a goodly coterie of
fighting men-presumed-at his back,
and then marched up again. And out
of that to.be-historic march grew
kiss me, Sheriff." a saying that will
survive Marcus DAILY statue, upon the
hill.
When the sheriff arrived at the
scene of the attack on the safe, stolen
from Miners union hall, a mob of
5000 men was gathered and an /. w.
w. orator. perched or the safe, was
delivering himself of a harangue. The
spot was perhaps 500 yards from the
brewery, an open air plat where the
subsequent dynamitting did no harm.
The sheriff. who knew what was
contemplated, and had sped down
there to prevent opening the safe,
marshalled his men and managed to

1t was a critical moment. The dep
uties were all heavily armed and while
their numbers were small, they were
quite strong enough to make their ar
rest, should be the care to risk blood
shed. For a moment the orator con-
tinued: then the tense silence affected
even his nerve. The sheriff edged his
way to the safe and put up his face to
the mob leader and evidently was
about to say, "Come down off that!'
or something to that effect.
But the ready witted haranguer
knelt and thrust his own face into the
sheriff's.
kiss me, Sheriff." he yelled.
1t was too much. The rough men
gathered there threw themselves upon
the ground in ecstacies of delight.
Even the deputies had to smile. The
sheriff, disconnected and abashed,
turned upon his heel without a word
and strobe away. The dynamiting
then proceeded without further pro-
test.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
DR.. DR0U|N OF PARIS
BY n. M. EGBERT.

The head surgeon turned to his as
sistants.
1T is no use proceeding, gentlemen,
he said. THE bullet has penetrated
the pancreas. We might remove ii
and close the wound, but we could not
control the hemorrhage. The patient
has just as much chance of recover
ing without an operation as with one
that is to say, none whatever"
The wounded man, a gangster, shot
in a street brawl, lay motionless up
on the table, while, at his head, the
anaesthetist dropped ether slowly up
on the mask that covered his face.
The head surgeon began to take off
his linens, and the nurses placed the
instruments back in the sterilizing
solution. The orderly approached to
wheel out the patient.
Excuse me, gentlemen, but l can
finish that operation"
The voice came from the amphithe-
alter, which was packed with students

slight foreign accent.
Everyone turned 10 look at the
speaker, who was on his feet. He
was about thirty-fiye years OF age, of
average height, and a dignified and at
the same time professional bearing.
He moved along the aisle and stepped
down toward the table
You are a surgeon, sir?" inquired

stranger nodded
"Of what university, may | ask"
"Leipsic,' answered the other, after
a moments hesitation. 81 studied in

rang with applause.
May l ask your name, sir?" in
quired the head surgeon.

removing his rubber gloves.
You are connected with some hos.
pital here?"
Not at present." answered Klein
you have studied under a master,
sir. Would you be willing to be a
candidate for post here?"
The head surgeon suddenly per.
ceived that Doctor Klein's collar was
frayed and his suit shabby. There
was a hush Of sympathy as Klein
nodded and went out.
A week later he was installed at the
hospital. 1t was soon realized that one
OF the mOW accomplished surgeons in
America had been obtained. His fame
spread and doctors and students al
ways crowded his clinics. And by and
by whisper began to be passed
around.
DO you know who that is?" the
whisper ran. We'll, he is Jacques
Drouin. saw him in Paris
Jacques Drouin! Everybody knew It
within a month after Doctor Klein's
appointment. The story of Drouin
was one of the saddest in medical an.
halls. A brilliant surgeon, and, even
at thirty, known throughout France, he
had acquired the drug habit, and,
while irresponsible, committed a crime
which ended his career. There had
been no prosecution. The scandal was
suppressed. So, three years earlier,
Drouin had disappeared,
: He had been overwhelmed with hor-
ror and remorse. He remembered lit.
tie of the episode; he only knew that
In what he imagined to be the inter
ests Of science he had sacrificed life
that had been entrusted to him. And
the scientific experiment had been but
the phantasy of brain crazed by NOR
phia.
Soon everybody knew the story.
Everybody pitied Klein. It was well
known that he never touched alcohol
or drugs His hand was always steady,
his eve Gear. What momentum Of
energetic will be mCs: have put in
force to conquer the iaoit!
