BRAINS NOT NEEDED

A doctor was operating on a man for some brain trouble. He had just sawed section of the skull off and had taken out the mans brains for examination when it was found that the hospital was on fire. The doctor had to leave his patient and help ex- tinguish the flames. When he return ed the patient had recovered from the effects of the anesthetic and had put the sectionally sawed bone back on his skull and had left the place; but had left his brains behind. A year or so passed when the doctor chanced to meet this patient on the street, and, recognizing him, said:
 "Mister, you left in hurry that time I was operating on you and left your brains behind. They are pre- served in a glass jar for you in my office. You had better come over now and I'll put them back where they be- long,"
 "Oh, no, don't mind about that" re- joined the man. "I've got a govern ment job now, and don't need them"

CONSUL GAVE HIS NOTE ID MEX|CANS
 ID GET FREEDOM
Official Statement by Mexico
 City Embassy Issued in the Case of Jenkins.

Washington, Nov. 1.-William c. Jenklns, American consular agent at Fuebla, Mex, gave his personal note, endorsed by five responsible citizens of Puebla and Mexico City to procure his release by bandits who kidnapped hlm October 19. The full amount of the ransom included also an agree ment that the bandits keep $25,OO0 worth of property stolen from Jen- kins' hacienda.
 The first payment of the ransom consisted of 34,00O pesos and two drafts for $5,000 each in American gold, the balance being covered by the note.
 These facts are disclosed in a statement which the American en- bassy in Mexico City has been au- thorized to make public, and which follows:
 American consular agent Jenkins, who was abducted from his house in Puebla on the evening of October 19, after his abductors had taken appro- ximately 50,000 pesos in gold from his cafe, was released on Sunday afternoon last, near Hacienda Ache vera.
 "Jenkins was abducted and held by a band of rebels under the command of Frederico Cordoba, with whom ne- gotiations for Jenkins release were opened October "A. The negotiations were terminated last Saturday night and arrangements were then made for the release of the captive the following day.
 Release was affected by agree ment of Jenkins to pay Cordoba 300,O00 pesos, in addition to the 50,- 900 stolen on the 18th. On October 28, a first payment was made, con- sitting of 34,O00 pesos and two drafts of $5,000 American currency each, a total of about 51,000 pesos.
 "The embassy is informed that subsequent payments are to be made as rapidly as Jenkins can secure the funds until the prescribed total S paid.
 When released, Jenkins was suf- fering from rheumatism, physical and nervous exhaustion and other effects of the exposures to which he was subject but he is rapidly recov- ering."
