Carbuncles on Chaplin's
 Million-Dollar Legs

After the most serious illness he has had in many years and which requir ed the undivided attention of two phy sicians, Charlie Chaplin, the million dollar fun-maker, this week returned to the Lone Star studios to again start his activities before the camera.
 Although it was not generally known Chaplin was confined to his bed for 1> days.
 Chaplin noticed the symptoms July ' when he was about to start work on a picture. A physician was summoned and after thoroughly examining Char lie he detected two carbuncles in their early stage, located directly opposite each other on the comedian's million dollar legs.
 The disturbing elements were lanced and Chaplin was ordered to bed Tor ' complete rest Not used to this sort of existence and believing himself cap able of remaining on his feet. the pa then ventured out in violation of the physician's orders and the following day found him painfully, if not danger ously, at the mercy of the malady.
 Expert attention prevented blood poison from setting in and there was much anxiety as to Chaplin's condition when he suffered relapse when ap- parently cured. However, he rallied, and two days of undisturbed rest found him discharged from the physicians care.
 Edna Purviance, his beautiful star, has also been i'll from nervous break down.

AS MAN TO MAN

1 and he chased them over a greater DOT tion of the mountains and valleys of southern Arizona, but he dwelt lightly and briefly upon these things. He did admit, under pressure, that the Chiricahua Apache was "a human tiger" but beyond this bare statement he declined to commit himself He refused absolutely to be heroic. He left out all the thrills. It was just a days work. He might have been a master carpenter building a house or a surveyor locating a grade for a rail road lire.
 He would speak of the miles GOV cred in day, the state of the horses, the condition of the men, the trouble in getting wood for the camp fire. the dimness of the trail, the cunning and tirelessness of those whom they fol- lowed, but of the danger and tense ness of the chase, not at all.
 And always he would turn the con versation, if allowed, to the philosophy of life, the wonder of the mountains, the helpfulness of the stars, the spirit and the progress of the west. This soldier had read many things besides the army regulations and the cam paigns of Caesar. And he had been a close observer of men and things during the many years he had been stationed in the west. His accurate and certain knowledge of Arizona life and landscapes and mountain passes and industries and history was mar vicious. He loves the west and its people. He has absorbed and card in dexed in the files of his mind a world of useful and valuable information on all kinds of practical subjects of to- day and yet he has found time to in dulge his fondness for the philosophies and fallacies and fancies of the long ago. He can discourse on a subject as well as. round out narrative.
 In fine, here is a soldier man who is wise and modest and soft of speech and gentle in demeanor and yet is every inch soldier. Officers of his brand and bearing are leading the English Tommies in Flanders today and being killed by the hundred, most of them winning the medal for brav- cry before they die. They make light of their battles but are serious at once on questions of food and shelter and care of their men,
 The newspaper man went to Doug las the other day on the auto-stage line. Halfway over three soldiers wig-wagged the car and climbed aboard. One was a New Englander who had wandered to the west, one was a devil-may-care Irish soldier of fortune and one was a lad from sunny Tennessee. Do you know Colonel Hornbrook?" the newspaper man asked of the trio.
 You bet we do," came back the reply spoken in chorus He is one of the best officers in the army; all the enlisted men love him. And then they went on with their song about the "Old Kentucky Home"
 To the newspaper mans notion, the praise and love of the enlisted men is about the highest tribute that can be paid to an officer in the U $. army. The private is hard. shrewd, con- petent and an unerring judge.

ARIZONA TO HAVE STATE FAIR

Arizona will have a good state fair this fall in spite of the unsettled af. fairs of the country and most of the local fairs will be held as usual. This is as it should be, for fairs stimulate better agricultural production in times of war as well as in times of peace and agricultural production needs stim- ulation by every means possible. It should be remembered that fairs are of great educational value and such educational features are always desir. able.
 This promises to be Arizona's ban. ner year of agricultural production. and consequently the exhibits are like. ly to be unusually good.
 Farmers should begin saving their good agricultural and horticultural specimens and start early to fit their livestock for the shows. The state fair secretary is MT. B. w. Zachau, Phoenix, and he has plans well under way.

THIS SHEPHERD DOG
 IS A STAR IN HIS LINE

In the town of Warren there dwells c. and A. engineer who owns a shep herd dog. He has taught this dog to catch a ball. But this dog has gone ahead and learned something that no one can teach
 The dog was an apt pupil and soon got the idea of what his master want. ed him to do. But he did not stop there. He put his whole heart into the thing and became an expert. No one can teach either a dog or a man to become an expert. They must ac- quire that most desirable art them selves, and it only comes after a lot of application and hard work.
 This dog can not only stand still and catch ball that is thrown to him but he can leap eight feet into the air and snap the ball every time with unerring certainty. He is a regular aeloplane, this dog of the old shpeherd breed. Whether the ball is thrown hard or easy, high or low, fast or slow, this dog catches it just the same. He is as quick as a cat. He can soar like a flying squirrel. He handles grounders like Honus Wagner, the famous short stop. and Tyrup Cobb himself is not more certain on long flies.
 Almost any dog can be taught to catch a ball, but not one dog in a thousand can attain the skill and cer- tainty of this dog in Warren. How does he do it? He keeps his eye on the ball. Every nerve in his body is tense, every muscle braced to the su- preme effort. Every thought and ef- fort and instinct of his being are brought directly to bear upon this one object. For the time being his one pride and ambition and glory is to catch this ball and fail not
 This is the price of success, boys and girls. You must do your very level best, and then some. You must concentrate. You must be on the alert Eyes, ears, nerves, muscles, heart end mind, all must help; all must be tuned up to concert pitch; all must be spent lavishly without thought of anything else.
 The lesson of this shepherd dog, this dog with a single purpose and only one object before his eyes, who does one thing exceedingly well, might be followed to advantage by all of us. If you do anything better than any one else people will talk about you, and in the end, the world will wear a path to your door. But you cannot excel at any one thing unless you put every ounce of energy and every force of your mind and every beat of your heart into that one thing. Very few men are born great, and still less have greatness thrust upon them. They have to work for it. They have to burn the midnight lamp and rub ach- ing muscles with liniment and band age tired eyes and work with throb- ping brain and call again upon a weary heart for one more effort
 Observe this shaggy shepherd dog. His eyes burn in his head as they fol- low every move of the hand that holds the ball. His nose quivers with eagerness. His paws are set. his body is as taut as bowstring, the very hairs on his back stand partly erect with electric, vibrant energy sup pressed, but ready to the last mille- gramme of possible action. It is only thus, boys, that the whirling. curving. baffling, speeding, tantalizing ball of success may be caught and firmly held.

SURGERY BY WIRELESS.
How a Human Life Was Saved by
 Long Distance Treatment.

A perpleAing medical problem was picked up one day by the wire less man of the steamship Paris nina while crossing the gulf of Mexico. 4 bad accident had be- fallen the patient in this case, his foot was crushed and nearly sever ed from his leg, and only a surgical operation could save his life.
 The wireless call came from the island of Suma, well out of the path of regular ships and hopelessly far from any shore station. Here lived a small colony, Crusoe fashion, en- gagged in mining phosphates. An occasional tramp steamer was their only means of travelling to and from the mainland, and there was no doc tor in less than d weeks sail. Suma, luckily, had one modern convent ence-a. powerful wireless station and this had flung the call for help far and wide across the gulf. The patient meanwhile was rapidly grow ing weaker from the loss of blood.
 The officers of the Parismina held hasty consultation. The island was just 1l0 miles away and of the course, and 1t would mean loss of time and money to turn about.
 Leave this case to the wireless operator and me-" said the ships doctor.
 4 wireless message was thereupon sent out. signed by Dr. c. s. Carter of the Parismina, asking for all de- tails of the patients condition. All this was but the work of few min utes. The doctor transferred his office to the wireless room in order to save time in communicating with his case. The reply came back di- rectly. The toes were held only by few fragments. and the patient was weaker. His pulse was given and his temperature. Then the doe tor set to work.
 4 long wireless message told the amateur surgeons just how to pre- pare a strong antiseptic and wash the wound. This was done, and the island station stood by for further orders. 4 still longer message was then clicked of. describing just how to cut away the injured part and to bind the arteries with a ligature to prevent the loss of blood. There was an anxious interval in the wire less booth awaiting the reply from Suma. The next message to the ship told that the hemorrhage had ceased and immediate danger was over.
 There remained, however, the danger of infection, and the doctor of the Parismina directed that regu- lar readings be made of, the pa tient's temperature and his condi- ton reported at frequent intervals, He was thus able to watch his pa tient closely for any symptoms of blood poisoning. The wireless treat ment went on continuously until the steamer was 420 miles away, when Dr. Carter was able 10 dismiss the case.-From "The Wireless Man

OLD TIME STAGE DRIVERS.
They Were Mighty Important Men h
 Their Home Towns.

They Were Mighty Important Men h
 Their Home Towns. In the days of the stagecoaeh the driver of the stage was the big gest man in the place where he hy- ed, barring none. He was always 6 man of great strength and bravery, aggressive, resourceful and well in- formed on all topics because of his continual contact with people and his life in the channels of communi- cation. His services commanded good pay, and the man whose daughter could lead the stage driver into matrimony considered himself lucky. When married the driver usually established his home some where conveniently on his route, so that he would have a chance to stop in and see his family on each trip, with an occasional stay for day or so at the home.
 Thomas Wilson of Washington, whose bevhood home was ip Co., lumbiana county when the stage was still common. writing for the Ohio Historical society's publica- ton. says:
 ''The wagoners ate at the table with other guests, travellers, gentle men, ladies and what not, for they were just as good as anybody else '' Mr. Wilson was referring in this more particularly to the drivers of the. freight wagons that operated over the same roads and at the same time with the passenger stages, but what was true of this class of driy- CTS was true of the stage drivers as well.
 The freight was carried in huge Conestoga wagons covered with sail cloth. Each horse carried bells at tached to an iron bow connecting the names over the withers, and each driver had his own peculiar bells, so that 1t was easily possible for the people living along the route to tell from the sound what particular drivers outfit was pass ing.
 IL was the rule of the road that no driver could pass another who was in trouble-stalled or broken down-without doing all in his pow ar fo ref him ont of the difficulty. The same rule applied to those in private conveyances except that a man who had lady with him might pass on without stopping.
 It came to be established as a rule of the road that the bells of the driver who was thus helped out of the difficulty became the prop erty of the driver that assisted him as a kind of salvage.-Columbus Dispatch.
