WHY
Surgeons of Today Must Be
Good Carpenters.

We have wondered at the skill OF
surgeons In grating pieces OF Skin
from a frogs leg or from human
body upon the skinless injury caused
by a burn or other accident.
But the marvels of modern surgery
do not end there. Bone" grating Is
an art that demands the skill OF
specialIst In the most remarkable kind
of carpentry"
Electrically driven circular saws In
the hands of a bone carpenter can
now be used to slot. splice, and alter
q fractured part of ones skeleton.
Sometimes n part of the broken bone
is neatly shaped and slid down INTO
n slot cut into part OF the fractured
member. Screws of steel. silver. ivory,
or screws made out of the patient ;
own skeleton, are used TO hold these
iointed pieces firmly In place.
One curious result of these ingeni-
Gus attempts Is that Of repairing an
injured jaw. A piece Of bone re-
moved from the edge of broken nip
bone was found to serve splendldiy
when properly fitted into a mans
broken jaw. This man today literally
chews his food with his hip-bone-an
anomalous situation indeed!
Never before In the worlds history
was there such an opportunity for
bone carpentry as that offered by the
war. The knowledge thus gained was
not lost with the coming Of peace

Why Chinese Cut Their .ousue..

With the fall Of the Manchu dynasty
came the wholesale barbering Of
queues. The BARRIERS of China we're
very busy people, and their art Is now
developing to that Of the normal ton
serial stage.
In the early part of the Seventeenth
century, when the Manchu Tartars In.
vaded the country. they found the men
wearing long hair tied In knot upon
their heads. But on the conquest Of
the country the inhabitants were COM
PEELED to adopt the queue, or long pig
tall. often greatly heightened arti-
ficially by employing long strands of
black silk thread.
To celebrate the fall Of this dynastic
rule the Chinese were eager to have
their queues removed, after the lapse
of three centuries.-Popular Science

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
March 81, 1850

Yesterday afternoon the exercises
In which all the scholars of Miss
Alice Edes department took part,
were gone through with in a very
creditable manner. The opening
song, a chorus entitled a Boating
Glee," by the school, was sung as
only school girls and boys can sing.
Following this the program included
recitation by Grover Hill, a piano
solo by Bertha Mayer, a vocal solo
by Carrie Palmer, a recitation by
Nellie Frye, selection on the piano
by Addie Reid, recitation by Kate
Dunn, vocal duet by Carrie Palmer
and Winnie Minor. Frank Hoy gave
a recitation and Hazel Webb a vocal
solo. followed by recitation by
Arthur Benson and song by Pearl
Brewster. Following a recitation by
Alice Hoy, the colored band brought
down the house. Abbie Duncan, Win
ME Minor, Carrie Palmer, Fred Case,
Willie Minor and Glen Trousdale
characterized the song they sang and
made up as darkies. The platform
looked a little paradise, the decora-
tors showing much taste in their
work. Miss EIDE is deserving of much
praise for her creditable work of yes
terday.

Study Of the relation between the to.
tai length of life and the time re-
quired to reach maturity has brought
out an interesting comparison between
man and horses. A horse at FIVE
years old is said to be, comparatively,
as old as man at twenty. and doubt
less may be expected to behave, ac-
cording to equine standards, after the
manner Of the average college student
Following human standards. A ten
year-old horse resembles, so far as
age and experience go, a man of forty.
while horse that has attained the
ripe age of thirty-five is comparable
with a man Of nInety.-New York

Independence.

True independence Is one of the best
assets Of character. 1t raises life TO
higher standards. 1t makes man
conscious of his mission and increases
his self-respect. There Is no need of
1t making a man overbearing or snob-
bish. In fact, the opposite is more
likely to be true. True independence
helps a fellow to recognize and respect
the worthwhile In others. Instead Of
being leaner 1t helps a man to be-
come prop for some fellow who can
be made strong by the right influence.
True independence teaches a man to
be one of the group whose greatest Joy
Is to make others better. The petty
man is afraid someone will get more
praise than he does and so he quietly
suggests something to injure the other
fellow. Big fellows are above such
smallness. They stand out In rich con-
trast because they live for what they
can put into life rather than for what
they can get out Of 1t. They are indie.
pendent of petty schemes and find
their JOY In contributing to the worlds
uplift.-Exchange.

Therefore. District Attorney Castle
Immediately moved that the cases
against CALI and Rahas be dis
missed. This was done.
However, Jackson may live to rue
the day when he chose to reverse
his former testimony. A warrant was
Immediately issued for him on the
charge Of perjury, and he is in Jail
awaiting court action.
This case serves to show what the
officers are really up against, and ii
is hoped that such action will be
taken in the case against Jackson
that none others will care to follow
in his footsteps. No effort should be
spared in giving him just what he
deserves. and in seeing that any SEN
tence that may be imposed, in case
he is found guilty, shall be carried
out to the limit. No sympathy what

His action shows that something is
radically wrong. The only inference
that can be had is that he was fixed"
by some one in league with the &C
cused. Anyhow, Jackson's act has
served to show the difficulties the
officers have in enforcing this law
and the extremes that are being prac-
ticed to evade conviction.
But stay with the boat" Messrs.
Castle and Harris. The people know
you are doing all in your power to
do your duty. and failures to convict
do not reflect upon you. You tire
keeping the cleanest county in Ne
vada and the time will come when
your roads will not be strewn with
obstacles that those engaged in the
flagitious practice of bootlegging are
now enabled to put over.

WELLS HERALD ON
ELKO BOOZE CASES

ELkO BOOZE CASES
The lives Of district attorney and
sheriff. who strive to enforce the
prohibition laws of this state and
put q stop to bootlegging, are not
by any means bed of roses.
Probably the most active officers
In the state OF Nevada In the attempt
to stamp out the bootlegging are Dis
trict Attorney Castle and Sheriff
Harris of Elko, and the result is
that the towns of this county have a
wide reputation as being freer from
this nefarious traffic than those of
any other county. OF course, there
are violations of the law, but they
are by no means so fragrant as they
are elsewhere in Nevada.
But, il these officials are to sue
cessfully continue to keep down the
traffic in life-taking moonshine, they
need the support and cooperation
of every citizen of the county who
believes in upholding our laws.
Without 1t they cannot succeed.
The average citizen does not real
ize the difficulties that beset the eff
forts of the officers who are striving
to suppress the trade In banned
liquors, says the Wells Herald.
Many people are continually decry-
ing their actions; other plot to de-
feat the will of the officials and take
great pride in warning the suspected
to be careful.
But the climax was reached in the
district court at Elko Monday when
charges of violation of the prohi-
bition law lodged against Pete CALI
and VIM. Rahas were necessarily dis
missed. Headers will remember that
the defendants were arrested short
time ago and held to appear in the
district court. The evidence against
the accused seemed conclusive and
there did not appear to be doubt OF
their conviction.
But the road to the port known as
Conviction" is devious one
strewn with many bumps for the dis
trict attorney and his assistants. The
case against CALI and Rahas was
preceding satisfactorily, when like
bolt of lightning from clear sky the
end of the trial came and the de-
PENDANTS were liberated.
Our laws relative to evidence in
cases of this character are peculiar
and difficult of enforcement. In this
case it was necessary to prove by
two witnesses the fact that defend
ant sold them liquor. Two witnesses
had testified positively to this fact at
the preliminary examination, stating
emphatically that CALI had sold
them liquor. The two men so testi-
flying were T. ]. Jackson and John
Smith. 1t was through these two
men that officers obtained the in
formation which resulted in the ar
rest of CALI and Rahas.
Jackson had been called to the
witness stand in the district court
Monday and was testifying. He was
asked to identify the Defendant CALI
as the man who had sold him the
liquor and refused to do so, although
at the preliminary he had been posi-
tive In this regard
The action of Jockson came like
flash and had the effect of stopping
all further proceedings of the prose-
cution of the two defendants With
out the Identification of CALI, under
the law, 1t was impossible to convict

Bill" Thorpe, former football coach for St. Mary's college, Oak land, and one of the well known play CTS of the Pacific coast, who is now coaching the team at St. Johns In- dian mission, 13 miles south of Phoe- nix, opened the football season yes terday by defeating the Coyote Rock ies by score of 13 to 0 on the In dian gridiron. The Indians, some of whom never saw a football until five weeks ago, won by fast fake forma- tions breaking from open play, being unable to carry the ball forward by line plunging against their heavier opponents.
 The field was slow and neither team had an opportunity to spread out. The Indians made their first touchdown in the first quarter, but | failed to kick goal. The Coyotes held I them scoreless during the second | quarter, but in the third quarter the l Indians shot the ball across the line 1 for another touchdown and managed 1 to kick goal.
 In the last quarter the Indians | played kicking game as a defense, the Coyotes keeping the ball we'll in Indian territory during the session. Morse, quarterback; Kennedy, full 1 back, and Mosley, full back, starred for the Coyotes, while forward passes from Stewart, left half, to Goodson, right end, twice netted gains of Is yards.
 For the Indians, Miguel and Do- mingo, ends played a fast and tight game, especially defensively, turning in all plays and tackling wickedly. I Chico, quarterback, made a spectacu- lar 20-yard dash in the second quar-
 ter, and Ktizso,' left half, made an- other pretty run in the first which

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-Cleveland tied up it's crucial series with the New York Americans, taking the sec ond game and the Yankee lead in the American league race again has been cut to less than two points.
 Five New York. players reached base on Uhle in the first two innings, but the Yankees could not hit in the pinches. After that Uhle pitched brilliant ball and New York was helpless. He allowed only-four hits.
 Uhle was not charged with time at bat, drawing three bases On balls and hitting a sacrifice. He scored after each of his bases on balls. Harper pitched two good innings for New York and then went to pieces, walk ing six men in the third and fourth innings.
 After a base on balls to Uhle. fore ing in run in the fourth, Evans double sent in Burns, O'Neil and Uhle. Shawkey pitched better, but Cleveland scored three more runs in the sixth after Burns, the first man up, reached first on a huff by Ruth.
