Eager Purchasers Of CASTOR
European Military Finery.

There is q clothes dealer in London
who for years has made It his special

Some amusing comments have been
made by this dealer with reference 10
the eagerness with which the native

this discarded finery. He states that
at the bazaars where his goods are
purchased he has seen blacks solemn
" walking around with waistcoats

even men wearing women's costumes.
Big fellows have been. seen in clothes

how they got into them nor how they
could get out unless the stitching gave

II Is related that the Prince de Join

Pretty Tea Cloth.

Something new in cover for the
tea table is sure to be welcome. The
pretty new cover referred to is made
of a loose .basket-weaye cloth almost
like a heavy scrim. Through this
cloth, at intervals of four inches are
drawn threads to make four-inch
squares The squares which border
the edge are filled in the corners with
design of small teapot outlined
against a background of solid cross
stitch in delft blue. Along each side
cross-stitched letters are used in
words inviting one to cup of tea.
The edge is finished with button
holing. double overcasting or. small
picoted crocheted edge in the blue.

Marvels of Modern
War Surgery Shown
in Army Hospitals

II have seen two soldiers, with
shrapnel bullets in their brains, sit
ting up in bed talking and laughing
with their friends. Is there no limit
to the marvels fof modern SURGERY
writes an orderly in one of the London
hospitals.
Quite recently a Canadian soldier,
whose lower Jaw had been partly car
ried away by fragment of shell, caus-
ing terrible Disagreement, was pro
yided With new jaw. built with a
piece of the wounded mans ribs.
In another case a lieutenant in a
Highland regiment, whose lower jaw
had been almost completely blown
away, was doctored In a marvellous
manner The surgeon put new floor
to the mans mouth, actually induced
two pieces OF bone to grow on the
lower jaw, fixed complete artificial
teeth, and healed the remains of the
lips. with the result that now the
man is as normal as ever, and the
only trace OF his mishap Is a slight
scar by the mouth.
In another case the successful re-
uniting of the spinal cord was made
for the first time in surgery. A sol

For instance?"
We'll, instead of having all the bats
practically alike why not have differ

stands to reason that a bat suitable
for hitting straight ball cannot be
equally well adapted for hitting curves
and that bat used for hunts should

POLICEMAN HILL
SUSPENDED IS DAYS
COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY
TO LAY OFF THE OFFICER
FOR SHOOTING AUToIsT.

At call meeting OF the city coun-
Gil, held Wednesday, the suspension
of Policeman Hill by Mayor Bell for
shooting Mr.. Marshall Crittenden on
the night of August 18th, was in
vestigated. Aldermen Dean, Nor
ris, McLendon, Mathis, Davidson and
Hamilton were present. = Mayor Pro
Tenn Dean presided over the meet
ing.
In behalf of Policeman Hill Chief
of Police Peddy and Sheriff Turner
made statements, saying that they
had received information that an au-
tomobile containing a lot of whiskey
was headed towards Dawson, end
that they in company with Mr. Hill
went out to intercept the car and
arrest the occupants; that ma
chine answering the description of
the whiskey car was met running at
a high rate of speed, and thew
ordered it to stop; the driver
failed to slow up, and in the excite
ment a shot was fired by M. Hill
at the tire of the car, hoping to stop
it, and that when it stopped it was
found that the occupants were Mr..
Marshall Crittenden and negro, and
that Mr.. Cittenden had small break
on the edge of his hand, which could
have been caused by striking his
hand on some part of the car. In
his statement to the council Mr.. Hill
said that he meant no bodily harm
l. 70, Of no 40
car was running at a very rapid
speed and came very near running
over him, and that he jumped aside
and shot his pistol at the tire of the
car to stop it, but did not think he
could have hit the driver.
Mayor Pro Tenn Dean, in behalf of
Mayor Bell, stated that the mayor
went over to Shellman Sunday and
personally investigated the affair,
that Mr.. Crittenden stated that he
was hit by a pistol bullet and that
powder burns were visible on the
hand, and that the friends of Mr..
Crittenden desired the council to take
some definite action about the shoot
ing, otherwise proceedings might be
instituted elsewhere. After hearing
the testimony the council decided to
go into executive session to consider
the case. After some deliberation it
was decided that the council should
sustain the mayor, and voted to sus-
pend Policeman Hill for fifteen days
from August 21st, the date of the
mayors order, after which the officer
will be reinstated to his former posi-
ton.
