LAST HOURS OF GHINA'S
EMPEROR SUPERsTITOUS

PEKING, Sept. S.-Superstitions
played an important part in the life of
Yuan Shi-kai, and even Influenced his
last hours. Like most Chinese of the
cid school Yuan Shi-kai constantly
sought fortune tellers and PSYCHOLOGISTS.
Many years ago he was told by for
tune teller that he would die when
about ifty-eight years old. This
gloomy forecast had a decided exect
upon the late president. The men of
his family had all been comparatively
short-lived. His father, his grand
father, his uncles and older brothers
did not attain the age of sixty. Con-
sequently Yuan Shi-kai believed his
span of life would be similarly limited,
and was strengthened in this belief by
the fortune teller's statement.
Men who were close to Yuan Shi-
kai when he was planning the mon
archial movement were aware that
his haste to ascend the throne was
prompted by the belief that his days
were few.
Yuan Shi-kai believed thoroughly in
charms of various sorts, and was cor
stantly calling upon Chinese doctors
who used medieval methods. He
He frequently gave ginseng to officials
and friends who were i'll. He strove
constantly to retain his youth by TAX
ing tonics of lion bone and ground
deer horns, which are believed by
superstitious Chinese to have great
medicinal value.

GEORGIA WILL Get SHARE OF
NATIONAL ROAD SLUsH FUND

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. S.-The action
of the United States department of
agriculture in officially recognizing
the Georgia state highway commission
created by the bill which passed the
Legislature at it's recent sessions
means that Georgia will get her share
of the federal appropriation for the
building of public roads.
This puts an end to the great pub
tic anxiety growing out of the ques-
tion as to whether or not the highway
commission would measure up to the
requirements of the act of congress
making the federal appropriation for
public roads.
The bill passed by the legislature
makes the prison commission the state
highway commission and makes the
state geologist and the professors OF
civil engineering at Georgia Tech and
he University of Georgia members OF
he commission.

ONE ARMED AND one
LEGGED MEN CONn0N

PARIS, Sept. S.-One-armed and
one-legged men are now so common
as to raise a question as to why they
are so numerous.
DR.. Auguste Broca, while admitting
that the changed conditions of warfare
ana the scale of the operations must
necessarily multiply the number of
amputated limbs, claims that a con-
siderable part of the increase in the
proportion of survivors who lack a
member is due to the progress of
surgery since the war of 1870; in that
conflict nearly all the amputated men
died of purulent infection; in this war,
thanks to progress in medical science,
they are nearly all saved, ne says.
In consequence, the demands upon
manufacturers of artificial limbs are
out of all proportion to anticipations.
Or. Broca considers that the construc-
tors of artificial substitutes for men,
bers or parts of members have also
made great progress. Before the war
a really efficient artificial member was
an object of luxury; under the stress
OF circumstances, manufacturers have
to a great extent obliterated the dis
pction between the rich mans and
the poor mans apparatus. Not that
there has been any modification in
prices; none of the efficient models
are cheap. American systems are
much in favor but are not universally
applicable because they do not adopt
themselves to the transitory period in
which an amputated member must
adapt itself somewhat to the apparatus.

OGDEN PERSONS HAS WORD

p. H. Bloodworth, of Forsyth, the
fulfllment of the idea which caused
the creation of the three new judge
ships on the Court of Appeals, and
has written the following letter to his
friends in the state:
The legislature in passing the re-
cent ect creating three new judge
ships on the court of appeals bench
did so for the purpose of relieving the
congested condition of the dockets OF
the supreme court and the court of ap-
peals. 1t is. therefore. of pressing inn
portance for the people to elect three
men to these positions who have the
ability, energy and disposition to per-
form great deal of judicial work in

my unqualified endorsement to Hon. 0.
H. B. Bloodworth, my fellow towns
man and long time friend. His edu-
cational advantages and many years

gether with his fourteen years as
solicitor general, added to his untir-
ing energy and even avidity for labor.
peculiarly qualities him for one of the
new jurgeships. 1 am sure that if he
is elected, the people will find in him
fulfillment of all the requirements
which go to make up the patient, intel
ligent, capable and Woodworking judge
who will do his full part towards re-
iieving the congested condition of the
two court dockets of our appellate
courts, as we'll as make ready dispo-
sition of the new cases that may be

bull butted open gate carelessly left
unlocked in the stockyards, at the
foot of Sixth street, Jersey City. He
gazed about a moment, then started
J forth upon his travels. 1t was $3.50

The brindle bull had had half an
hour of freedom, and 10000 persons
had had the scare of their lives.
Through Hamilton Park, where
hundreds of children were at play, he
charged There must have been a

rate. he appeared angry. The children
fed screaming. Several had narrow
escapes, but managed to duck behind
trees or benches. On went the bull.
He reached North avenue, the bus
lest street of the city Crowds lined
the sidewalks. wagons rumbled and
autos honked over the tnorougnrare.
CHANGING down its length the bull bel
lowed. Then down the avenue he
went. After him were several police
men and half dozen stockyards at
tendants who had almost caught uI
with the runaway. Pedestrians fec
into doorways, drivers whipped theil
horses into frantic pace, autos scur
ried up side streets. In a moment the
bull had the avenue to himself, while
thousands of affrighted eyes peered a
him charging by from cover.
Through Montgomery street, tn
banking thoroughfare, he went. Hun
