MAJOR HANLY AUTOING
TO MORTON COUNTY

Mercedes, Tex, Sept. 7.-There is a
"last day of school, feeling in the air
On every side you hear officers say:

Oct 15) will see the state guards
home" Perhaps it was the departure
of Illinois and New York troops. Per
haps there is leakage from really
authoritative source at Washington.
Official, semi-ottcial or rumor, the de-
parture story has affected almost
everyone In the woods near Mer-
cedes Sunday were dozens of soldiers
j.. digging up, cactus plants and palms to
take home to their families, fearing it
might be the last Sunday of leisure
they would have on the border.
Perhaps, in the North Dakota regi-
ment the departure of several officers
has set the men thinking more
strongly of home. Major Hanley is
autoing toward Mandan, having re-
signed in order to give his full time
to the race for district Judge. Captain
McLachlan left earlier in the week
and COL Frame went to Des Moines
on twelve days furlough to attend an
important business meeting.
With Major Hanley went his son,
Jimmy" Hanley, pet of the First reg
iment and its mascot, who has enjoy
ed every hour of his stay on the bor-
der, and who left as brown as a berry.
Major Hanley and his son took a train
to San Antonio, Orderly Ans Gimbel
of Minot driving the car to that city.
Major Hanley started his long auto
journey home to Mandan at the his
toric Alamo.

DON'T FEAR.

Stand up like men and do not fear.
Look up to y0nder sky so clear,
So blue, so sweet, and doubt not man
Is in the love that marks its span.
Stand up and let your eyes behold
The glory that the skies unfold,
The splendid peace they seem to give,
And then toll on, and smile, and live.
Stand up and let your beating breast
Hold still heart of faith and rest,
That as the sparrow, so shall we
Be marked by Him where'er we fee.

DELICATE OPERATION MADE
Had Swallowed Half Dollar While Show
ing How Expert He Was in Handling
Money and Landed in Hospital to
Get It Out of His Esophagus.

Did you ever send good money after
bad? Did you ever play a one to five
hundred shot and be tickled that you
won. If you did, you can appreciate
to some extent the feelings today of
Anton Stella, prominent among the
italians of the city and the proprietor
of a meat market over on Strong street.
Stella is nursing badly infamed
esophagus and rejoicing with his
friends that he is still able to
nurse it. He came just about as
near dying on account of half dollar
as man could come
Stella few days ago stood in his
meat market, thoughtlessly tossing a
half dollar into the air. HECatch it
in your teeth one Of the men in the
place shouted to him, and Stella car
ried out the order. It was clever work
and he tried it several times. Finally
he tipped the coin high in the air and
as it came down he attempted to catch
it between his teeth. The coin struck
the teeth of the upper jaw and slipped
down Stella's throat just about as a
big oyster is accustomed to do the
same sort of a slipping process. The
big coin lodged in the esophagus about
an inch from the opening of the
stomach. Stella suffered intense pain
and DR.. G. R. Caughey was at once
called to attend him. DR.. Caughey
saw at once the seriousness of the mat
ter and ordered Stella to get ready to
go to hospital. He was taken to the
Presbyterian hospital in Chicago and
placed under the care of DR.. Freberg.
Stella was. placed, under the influence
of an anaesthetic and a tube carrying
a small electric light was pushed far
down into the asophagus. An X-Ray
picture was taken and this showed that
the coin had lodged edgeways in the
esophagus. Stella had not been able
to take any solid food after he swal-
lowed the coin and he had great trouble
taking even liquid food. The picture
showed that only part of the
esophagus had been closed by the half
dollar. After the coin had been locat-
ed the surgeon operated and managed
to remove it after long and tiresome
work. Stella returned to Kenosha the
following day and he was able to be
at his work today. He declares that
outside of little soreness in his throat
and the esophagus he feels no i'll effects
from his strange experience
How was it one to five hundred
shot to get the half? Easy. The sur
geons who performed the operations
charged Stella a round $3.50 and he ad-
mits that he paid it with eagerness such
as man never showed before in part
ing with money. The half dollar is
going to be handed down as an heir
loom in the Stella family.
