BENEFIT DANCE RECEIPTS, s1O6.55
Committee In Charge Very Successful
In Red Cross Dance

One of the most successful dances
ever held in Boomers Ferry was that
given at the X. p. hall last Wednesday
night for the benefit of the Red Cross.
The committee in charge of the dance
was Mesdames H. l. Monks, II. j. Nc
Coy, Frank Bottum and o. c. Wilson.
They were given just two days time in
which to prepare for the dance and
arrange for fitting farewell party
for the members of the Boundary
county draft, but they did their work
thoroughly and well and the large
crowd which came out was enabled to
pass very pleasant evening.
The music and practically all of the
work entailed in connection with the
dance was donated. Articles donat-
ed by the merchants were auctioned
o. G. Wilson acting as auctioneer
The ice cream stand was well patron
lied and when the committee found
time to count the receipts they found
that there was s106.55 to turn over to
the Red Cross fund
The committee in charge of the
dance desires to thank every one who
so kindly co-operated with them in
making the dance a success; all the
merchants who donated so generously,
all those who bought tickets, the mu-
sicians, auctioneers and the ice cream
committee.

WHY PEOPLE LIVE IN CITIES
Subject Discussed In a Way That May
Please or Not, According to
Ones Disposition.

In the American Magazine. Bruce
Barton says, In talking about his old
home town:
Rousseau once remarked that he
had never lived in Paris, except for
one definite reason-to get money
enough to live somewhere else. There
are times when | have had similar
feeling toward New York. Times when
the stress and strain and frettlng Of
the job grew wearisome; when my
cylinders all are full of carbon, and
my valves give forth a leaky sound (;
when the white lights are only an i'm.
pertinence, and the noise Of motormen
tramping on their bells, is madness In
my ears. ~
"When that time comes. as every
spring 1t does, | 60 home, and. speak
ing with my wife privately, | say: My
dear why llnger we longer In world
like this? We are but strangers here at
BEST Foxboro is our home And we
fill up the cold coffee bottle and place
the ham sandwich In the bag, nesting
II tenderly beside the fishing tackle,
and HE us to a land that is better and
purer and swecter; where the straight
and narrow way takes the place of the
way called Broad, and there is no
white light but the evening star"

STITCHED BY ANTS
Ingenious Operation That Is a Feature
of Surgical Work Among the
VI Arabs Today.

The mandibles Of ants and of sew

particular, have long been employed
in Asiatic surgery. THIS usage is OF
the most ancient date with the sur
geons Of India and is perpetuated in
our day in Algeria by the Arab opera.
tors and to some extent by the Turks
in Asia and the Greek BARRIERS OF
Syria.
According to an English .entomO-
logical journal, the barber presses
upon the edge of the cut with the
fingers of the left hand and applies
each ant by means of forceps held
in the right hand. The mandibles
Of the ant are widely opened, the ami
nal being in the defensive attitude,
and as the insect is gradually brought
near the wound 1t selzes the pro-
iecting surface and Immediately forces
its mandibles through the flesh, and
remains in this attitude. pressing the
one mandibe against the other with
force and consequently holds the two
edges together. Then the barber sep
arates the head from the thOrax with
snip of the scissors. and the head
with the mandibles remaining In place
continues its function while the .thorax
and abdomen fall to the ground
The same operation is repeated with
1
may be n dozen pairs of mandtbles
placed at regular intervals, so that
through its whole length tho skin is
united by this very ingenious pr0ce-
dure. The heads are allowed to re-
main few days, after which. since
the healing has been effected, they are
loosened and having performed their
office are henccforth useless.

WalkIna stIcks and Canes.

At one time the general use OF canes
or walking sticks was forbidden, in
Rome by imperial edlct, except 20 per-
sons Of patrlcian rank. thus making II
a privilege which came 10 be popular
among the nobility and eventually n
distinction. The women Of that time
carried them also, their richly and ar
tlstically decorated canes serving as a
rod for punishment Of their slaves.
The cane appeared in England as
the badge of. aristoeracy In about the
Afth century, hut after serving this
purpose for some time came into. the
hands Of the humber classes and was
dropped by those Of higher social
standing. Il was rc-estahlished In It's

Bible Saves Life.

During the progress Of most wars
stories gain currency of how some sol
dier's life was saved because the bullet
which hit him first went through the
Bible he was carrying on his breast.
There were several such instances re-
ported In the Civil war and perhaps all
of them were true. The first TO come
from France is that of william r. Will
son, nineteen years of age. from New
castle, Pa. He was carrying n Bible
and a trench mirror in his pocket. A
German bullet hit them both. pene-
trdtlng only enough to scratch his skin
and do no damage whatsoever though
II came from sharpshooter and was
we'll aimed. Books, especially Bibles,
are evidently very efficient breast

HELD HIS ART ABOVE ALL
Pension Could Not Induce Beethoven
to Play for Emperor or
Dukes.

Bettina Won Arnim visited Beethoven
In the year 1910. and wrote a letter
describing the event In August Of that
year. 1t has recently been published,
observes an exchange. Very different
from her correspondence with Goethe,
when 1t is a question whether the lady
is INDUCING in fact or fiction. this
letter about Beethoven is serious In
tone.
Beethoven had "so-called pride
that prevents him playing for the EN-
peror and the dukes. who have in vain
given him a pension; and il Is the
rarest thing in all Vienna ia hear him
play" she says. Hut he consents to
play for her when she tells him it
would be the JOY Of her life to, hear
him. He seated himself at the piano,
on the edge Of chair. playing softly
with one hand. rs though trying TO
overcome his aversion to being heard.
Suddenly he had forgotten his sur
roundlngs and his thought expanded
into an ocean of harmony"
She goes on: Il got TO like this
man tremendously. In everything that
has to do with his art he is SO com
handing and truthful that 10 artist
dares 10 approach him"

FRENCH PROUD OF DOG HERO
Brave Deeds Of Artemis Have Won

There was foggy night once when

Land, Artemis, il must be explained,
Is popular hero of France, dog OF

ton Of his regiment was cut of. Poor
Artemis He had always been so faith
full and had so often saved his friends.
But they trusted him still and to
prove 1t, they dispatched him with a
note attached TO his collar warning
their comrades of their danger. It was
q hot night on the line, and the bullets
were flying fast. Phut phut they fell
round the flying feet Of Artemls, but
he paid no heed to them. His reputa-
ton was Mt stake, and he redeemed It..
He got through with his message. Aid
was sent to his squad. 1t arrived in
time. And there followed celebra-
ton inlhonor Of Artemis, arranged by
the colonel himself. s
The hero, however, was not yet sat
isf1ed that his duty was done. At
Ypres he continued to act as courier
and patrol, and no accidents interfered
with his efficiency now. Finally came
a day when the captain commanding
him found his own life threatened by
the attack of two BOches. None Of his
men were near him. But Artems was.
The captain managed TO kill one as
sailant. AS he did so, the other cock
ed his rifle to shoot. Whereupon At
