CHICAGO AGAIN CLAIMS LEAD
This Time It Is for the Meanest Man,
and He Surely Has "Some"
Qualifications

Another "meanest man" mas been
found. He was discovered in a north
bound elevated express. He had re-
manned seated although a woman stood
swaying on a strap in front of him.
The train was standing at the Fuller
ton avenue station when he jumped
to his feet, apparently realizing sud
denly that his destination had been
reached. He started for the door.
When the man quit his seat ii was,
logically, taken by the woman. Not
for long. however, did she hold it. A
second later he was back-obviously
having spotted the station name
through the open door.
Pardon me-" he said, "that wasn't
my station"
And he allowed the woman to rise
and give him the seat.-Chicago Jour
nal.

the story of the attack on the fort,

HEALING ART OF OLD CHINESE
Abundant Proof That They Were Fa-
miliar With Anesthesia Many
Thousands of Years Ago.

The artificial induction of painless
ness by narcotic draughts was tradi-
t~ionally known in ancient times, writes
Or. Charles Balance in the London
Lancet.
The Chinese were acquainted with
general anesthesia thousands OF
years ago. 1t is related Of the Surgeon
Hoathe in the Third century A. ID. that
he performed gmputation, tr%ephining
and other major operations by its aid.
Doctor Browne relates two cases of
anesthesia taken from a Persian
manuscript. The first story concerns
Aristotle and ar Indian surgeon named
Sarnab. An earwig had entered the
patients ear and attached itself to
the brain. Aristotle gave the patient
the drug so that he became uncon-
scious while Sarnab trephined the
skull. This was excellent treatment
