HeIDinu the Middet

Mickey O'Doolan was a undetermined
lad, full of sympathy for the poor,
always ready to succor the oppressed,
keen to right the wrongs of the world.
One day, passing stonemason's yard
he saw two men saving through a
huge block Of stone with one of those
large, double-handled saws. One Of
them was six-foot-two, the other a
little chap of four-foot-one.
Leaning against the wall, Mickey
watched them swaying back and forth
for a few minutes; then he rushed for
ward and dealt the tall man a blow
on the side Of the head, knocking him
senseleSs.
SNOW" he exclaimed, as he stood
over the PROSTATE form, "now will yez
let the little chap have it, yez dirty,
hulking ully?"-Pittsburgh Chronicle

the next patient. His assistant no

| to hospital attendant to bring COM

weary surgeon sunk.
SLOW many have we operated on

assistant.

the assistant.

try to kill each other. You ask me to
rest; are you mad? Rest, indeed, to
see these poor men bleed to DEATH
and he jumped from his chair, ready
to operate on another of the wars VIC
tins.
A soldier entered and addressed the
chief surgeon, tears streaming down
his face: r-~s.

captain, my master; save him If you
can"
The captain was placed on the oper-
ating table. Little to be done here;
part of a grenade had cut open the
abdomen.

the surgeon aloud.
The wounded captain heard the YER
dict
"You can't save mel" asked the
wounded officer
"Why not?" replied the surgeon. Il
will do my best"
"Will you do me a favor, doctor, If
the operation should not be success
full? / have written some letters be-
forehand, they are in my servants
possession. / want you to mail one
every four days. In the event that /
should die, continue to send the let
ters; say nothing to indicate that 1
am dead. My wife expects to become
a mother within three weeks time.
You will understand"
The doctor nodded his head.
The operation was performed, the
captain removed and put into a hos
pital bed.
Two more hours at the operating
table and the surgeons strength was
exhausted. He was relieved and went
to sleep for few hours. Awakening
he thought of the captain and the let
tiers and went to see how the patient
was doing. He found him still alive.
The letters were handed to the sur
geon by the captains servant and he
mailed them at intervals as he had
promised and received the replies
from the captains wife, for many days
after the wounded captain had sunk
into the peaceful slumbers of death.
In the last letter the countess wrote
that the little boy was now ten days
old. The surgeon resealed and return
ed the letter with the superscription:

De Baugis' eyes, and gave vent to an
irritating laugh.
"Sacre, it's quite melodramatic," he
exclaimed harshly. "But of little value

about me were blurred, but, before l
could find words in which to voice my

Photoaraphs ERUPTION on Sun.

Astronomer Evershed at Svinagar,
Kashmir, has photographed an erup-
tive prominence of exceptional alti-
tude on the disk Of the sun. The pho
tographs were obtained at intervals
from near the beginning of the out
burst until the final fragments had
risen to a height of little more than
a semidiameter from the suns limb.
The velocity away from the sun was
100 kilometers per second and faint
extensions could be traced at IS min
utes from the limb, representing a
height of close upon a half million
miles. Astronomers say this would
appear to be the highest prominence
which has yet been recorded as APP
pearing on the surface Of the sun.

FALL FROM AROROPLANE FATAL
TO LIEUTENANT MMBLMANN,
HERO OF GERMAN AVA
TON SERVICE

Berlin, June 21-Lieutenant Immel-
mann, whose daring exploits as an
aviator have made his name known
throughout the world, is reported to
have been killed when he fell with his
aeroplane.
The Lieutenant's name first was
mentioned in an official report from
the German War Office on October 2,
1915, when it was related that he had
shot down his fourth aeroplane. The
last mention of his name in an official
Communication was May II, wnen he
shot down his fifteenth aeroplane.
Immelmann's method in vanquishing
his foes had been described as simple
but effective He usually mounted to
q great height and when he observed
hostile areoplane beneath him would
swoop in one long straight dive. His
plan was to pass in a rapid diagonal
Just behind his antagonist, firing con-
tinuously as soon as he came within
range. If his machine gun failed to
bring down his adversary he would
make no effort to pursue the aeroplane,
but would continue his dive until II
brought him into the German lines.

In form the bill appropriates s45,-

the Sacramento River in California
But the most applauded arguments for
It pictured the fruitfulness Of the
lands, all in private ownership, which
would be reclaimed and converted
from improbable swamps into wealth
producing fields.
The real purpose of the bill seems
to be reclamation rather than flood
prevention. But 1t is reclamation on
basis quite different from that
adopted in the arid regions of the West
There the government merely adj
vances the capital required for irriga.
ton works. Private owners benefited
are required to repay their share OF
the cost and public lands benefited are
charged with their proportion, which
must be met by future owners.
The pending bill proposes an out.
