SAVED WIFE PAIN ■ ■ I — 1.1 SOLDIER'S TENDER CONSIDERATION OF LIFE PARTNER. Facing Death* Every Hour, He Had Sufficient Forethought to Make t Preparations That Would Spare Her Shock. The surgeon of the battalion, n bruiul-shouldered, gruy-hnlrcd num stood ut the operultiiK table, apparently tir-d and reiidy to drop, waiting sot the next puth-iit. His aeelstwnt noj ’tlced th<- ehiet’s condition mid called to n hospital attendant to bring n coin--1 sortable tfnncholr, Into which the weary surgeon sunk. 1 “How niatiy have we operated on this inorniiig?" the ehief asked of hie assistant. “Forty-two, and I am :;.":-tid at least u dozen of them will die, and unothet dozen will rt-iuuin cripples," replied i tlie assistant. “I have lost confidence in God mid 1 myself,” muttcreil the chief. “1 cannot understand why these stupid fools 1 try to kill each other. You ask me to rest; tire yon mad? Rest, indeed, to 'i see these poor men bleed to death,’* mid he Jumped from his chair, ready to operate on another of tlie war’s vic- • lints. i A soldier entered and addressed the ‘ chief surgeon, tears streaming down Ids face: “Pardon, doctor, I have brought* tlie captain, my master; save him if you 1 can.” J The captain was placed on the operating table. Little to be done here; i part of a grenade had cut open th€ abdomen. “Little to be done here,” repeated the surgeon aloud. The wouuded captain heard the ver- ; diet. “You can’t save me?” asked the wounded officer. "VV'hy not?” replied the surgeon. “1 will do niy best.” “Will yon do me a favor, doctor, if the operation should not be successful? I have written some letters beforehand. they are in my servant's possession. I want you to mail one every four days. In the event that I should tlie. continue to send the letters; say nothing to Indicate that I am dead. My wifie expects to become a mother within three weeks’ time. Yon will understand.” The doctor nodded his hend. Tlie operation was performed, the captain removed and put into a hospital bed. Two more hours at the operating table and the surgeon's strength was exhausted. He was relieved mid went to sleep for a few hours. Awakening lie thought of the captain and the letters and went to sec how the patient was doing. He found him still alive. The ietters were handed to the surgeon by tiie captain’s servant and lie mailed them at intervals as he had promised, and received the replies from the captain's wife, for many days after the wounded capt.-dn* had sunk into the )>eaceful slumbers of death. In the last letter tlie countess wrote that the little hoy was now ten days old. Tlie surgeon resealed and returned tlie letter with tile superscription: “Pied on tlie field of honor.” —Fr. W. von Oesteren in Uelier Land and Meer. Helping the Midget. Mickey O’Hoolan was a noble-minded ,lad. full of sympathy for tlie poor, always ready to succor the oppressed, keen to right the wrongs of the world, tine day, passing a stonemason’s yard lie saw two men sawing through a huge liliji-k of stone with line of those large, double-handled saws. One of them was six-foot-two, tlie other a little chap of four-foot-one. Leaning against tlie wall. Mickey watched them swaying back and forth for a few minutes: then he rushed forward mid dealt tlie tall man a blow on tlie side of the head, knocking him senseless. "Now.” he exclaimed, as he stood over tin- prostrate form, “now will yez let the little chap have it, yez dirty, hulking bully?”—Pittsburgh ChronicleTelegraph. Photographs Eruption on Sun. Astronomer Evershed, at Svinagnr. Kashmir, has photographed an eruptive prominence of exceptional altitude on the disk of the sun. The photographs were obtained nt intervals from near the beginning of the outburst until the final fragments had risen to a height of a little more than a senifdlHioeter from the sun's, limb. Tlie velocity away from tin- sun was 190 kilometers per second and faint extensions could be traced at IS minutes from the limb, representing a height of close upon a half million miles. Astronomers say this would appear to be the highest prominence which has yet been recorded as appearing on the surface of the sun. A Man of Letters. “Nearly everybody has some distinguishing designation fliat permits him to attach a series of letters to his name.” “Yes,” replied Farmer Corntossel. “I must say I approve of it. I never got any regular degree, but it's a heap of satisfaction to ine tn see r R. F.
