SEEK SUBSTITUTE FOR HAND
Anonymous Donor Offers $4,000 to
Paris Society of Surgeons for
Best Apparatus.

LondOn.-The Lancet learns from
the SOciete Rationale de Chirurge de
Paris that an anonymous donor has
offered to the society prize of Sl0,-
600 to be handed over to the maker of
the mechanical apparatus which best
supplies the place Of the hand. The
conditions are laid down as follows:
"All competitors must belong to al
lied or neutral nations. They are to
present to the society mutilated men
who have been using their apparatus
for at least six months. The SOclcte
de Chirurgie will experiment with
each apparatus on mutilated men for
the length of time it thinks fit. The
apparatus rewarded Is to remain the
property of its inventor. The compe-
titiOn will be closed two years after
the end Of the war"
NM. Faure, Kirmsson, Quenu, Ref
fe and Rochard form the committee
selected by the society to deal with
the competition, and those wishing to
compete should send the apparatus and
description to the secretary general of
the SOciete Rationale de Chirurgie, y
Rue de Seine, Paris.

Pretty soon Rafferty, will have com

good soldier again until he has an
other idea. Meanwhile, the story has
drifted around to the militia camps
and there have been no further reports
of skirmishes with sniperS.

DOG WITH A WOODEN LEG
That It Cannot Be a Vicious
Animal.

San FranCisco.-When is a vicious
dog not vicious dog? When it has a
wooden leg.
This definition was handed down
from the bench by Police Judge Sui
livan in the case of S. e. Kramer, who
was accused by William Heistuman,
neighbOr, with allowing a vicious
dog to run at large in the vicinity Of
the Kramer home.
Kramer's dog Is an Airdale. Heis-
tuman owns a bulldog which because
Of its tendency to chew up Kramer's
animal, wears a muzzle. Soon after
the muzzle was applied the Airedale
took advantage of the situation-he
hoped over on his wooden leg and
chewed a little on the bulldog, just by
way Of revenge. Judge Sullivan was
touched by the tale Of the wooden leg.
He dismissed Kramer on the latter's
promise that should his Airedale show
signs at any time of becoming fero-
ciOus he would unstrap the pegleg and
render the dog helpless.

PRIVATE GETS GREAT IDEA
Sergeant Finds Him Bombarding
Juarez All Alone-story Stops Re-
ports Of Skirmishes with Snip
ers by MIitiamen.

III PaSo, Tex.-During one very
brisk week after the Guar5Smen had
become accustomed to the border
climate, there were endless reports of
SkirmiShes across the Rio Grande with
Mexican snipers.
YOlley after volley of perfectly good
ammunition was sent whistling into
Carranzista territory. 1t was some
thing to write home about, but event
ually it wore on the nerves of the regu-
lars. The regular officers complained
about their sleep being broken and
merely smiled when asked for official
reports of the skirmishing.
The regular enlisted men took It in
a different mood. The regular soldier
has peculiar views of the militia, any
way. In the end
Well Private Raferty's command
ing officer says he'll have to make an
example of Private Rafferty,.
Private Rafferty, in the guardhouse,
sheepishly pleads guilty, but points to
extenuating circumstances.
Keep Eye on Rafferty,.
Private Rafferty, is one of the best
soldiers in his regiment. Occasionally
on a pay day he will go bit wide. At
such times the sergeant he revereS and
reviles keeps sharp eye on Rafferty,.
This time the sergeants keen eye
was otherwise engaged. He had been
ordered to teach a squad of militiamen
the intricacies of the army rifle. SO
Private Rafferty, was unmatched. He
had a gloomy little time of it by him
self in an Out-of-the-way cantina. Any
one who knew Private Rafferty, would
have known that he was possessed of
despondent mood. But no one who
knew him saw him.
That evening Private Rafferty, went
back to camp with the light of an
original idea in his eye. That was
characteristic of him after a mood"
No one saw him as he left camp just
after dark. If they had, he would not
have left. There would, at least, have
been some comment on his peculiar
equipment. Private Rafferty, was ac-
coutred with seven bandoliers,
crammed with cartridges. Under each
arm was tucked a rifle.
An hour later came the brisk sound
Of rifle fire, vaguely from the direc
tiOn of bridge overlooking Juarez
quarter of mile away. An hour later,
also, excited Carranzsta officers were
telephsning General Bells headquar-
ers in El PasO and asking If war had
started. This report, incidentally, has
been quietly smothered.
The commanding officer Of the camp
near the bridge hastily summoned his
most trusted sergeant.
For heavens sake, find out what

pose it's those qualified militiamen

Wanted Some Fun, Too.
The sergeant started for the sound
of the firing. 1t was going quite brisk
ly as he reached the bridge. On the
ground lay an intent figure with seven
bandOiers at his side. One was empty.
One rifle was engaged in potting at
the lights Of Juarez, The other lay
