RUBBER TUBE IN HIS LUNG
Surgeons Remove Il, and They Now
Think That Parker Will

Hot Springs, 8. D.-Gus Parker. who
was brought to . local hospital some
weeks ago from his home 1t Upton,
Wyo., and in whose right lung . rub
Der tube was found after It had re-
NAMED there unknown to physicians
for a period Of ten years, IL recovering
steadily from the operation for the
removal Of the tube. The presence of
the rubber tube was discovered by an
X-ray machine.
Ten years ago Parker had an alb
scess in his right lung and the rub
Der tube was placed in it for drain
ing purposes. The tube finally was
forgotten and remained where 1t had
been placed by the physicians. Park
er's health gradually declined. He
visited many parts of the United
States and even went to South Amer
lea in the hope that q change of
scene and climate would restore his
health. But he failed to secure re-
lief, and as a last resort decided to
come to the Hot Springs hospital and
have the surgeons carefully examine
him for the purpose of discovering
what allied him,
The finding of the rubber tube was
the result. 1t is expected that with
in q few days he will be as well as
ever. For q period of five years he
never walked a step or had on q pair
of shoes.

CHINK PAINTS FACE BLACK
Made Himself Up to Look Like Negro
and Landed From Ship at
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.-Charley Soc, q Chi
nese sailor on the steamship c. A.
Garfield, lying at Point Breeze. near
Philadelphia, painted himself black in
order that he might resemble a negro
fireman and walked ashore, making q
direct course for Chinatown in q troll
ley car.
After being in the car a short time
the conductor noticed that while
Soe's face was black, his legs. which
he had forgotten to paint were Of a
different color. The conductor charged
him with being a deserter from a ship.
Soc assured the conductor that he was
all right. He said he had been sent
out for a doctor for the captain of the
ship, who was very sick. He jumped
of at the first drug store and was not
seen afterward.
The immigration officials heard Of
the escape and sent an inspector to
the ship, who refused to permit the
Garfield to proceed until Captain Finn
paid the $500 fine due for violating the
Chinese exclusion act.

possibilities suggested by Mr.. ]. Wes-

capitalists brief visit to the Niquoia,
there was little leisure for it. Fairly
confronting his problem, Brouillard
did not find himself hampered by de-

structive attack, the equipment and

Miss Cortwrights comment on the out
lining Of the reclamation project. do
you mean to say that real farms with
green things growing on them can be
made out Of that frightful desert we
drove over yesterday afternoon"
Brouillard smiled and plunged fatu-
ously. "Oh, yes; the farms are al
ready there. Nature made them, you
know; she merely forgot to arrange
for their watering" He was going on
to tell about the exhaustive expert
ments the department of agriculture

Buckskin soils when the gentleman
whose name had once figured upon
countless thousands of lard packages
cut in.

and the tentative invitation was

very plainly evident in the dissipated
face and hangdog attitude of the mar
keter,s son.
Conversation tagged on the climb
from the Buckskin level to that of the
reservoir valley; but when they
reached the pine tree of the anchored
blueprints at the upper portal. Mr..
Cartwright recovered his breath sufi-
GENTLY to gasp his appreciation of the
prospect and its possibilities.

he wheezed, taking in the level, noun

eye-sweep. What will you do?-build
your dam right here and take out your
canal through the canyon? Is that the
plan?"
Brouillard nodded and went a little
further into details. showing how the
inward-arching barrier would be an

buttresses.
And the structure itself-how high

Then you are going to need Port

will you get 1t? And how will you get
it here?"
Brouillard smiled inwardly at the
pork packers suddenly awakened in

means. His four years in the desert
had taken him out of touch with a
