The Cithcn. in its last issue tells an
affecting and interesting story of the
conversion of a tramp passing through
the streets of Macon last week by the
preaching, praying and sieging of a
band of Salvationists. One old lady
playing tambourine, who reminded
him of an affectionate mother who had
died with grief over the conduct of a
wayward boy, especially touched his
heart and led him to remain until be
had received comfort in believing.
It is such incidents as this, happening
every day, the conversion of homeless
wanderers who would never hear the
glad message of salvation except for
the army that has given that oace de
spised band of Christian workers a
warm place in the great heart of hu
manity. Its special mission is in the

property of tl'e city marshal of Pilot
Grove, Mo. Thekalfo was swallo-red
one week ago today by Ifarry Whal-
len, otherwiie the "human ostrich."
while giving a street performance of
gastronomical fe:tls in that place.
Dr. E. Voa Q last, assisted by a
number of other surgeons, cut Whal
Icn's sto-.nach open at the German hos
pital this morning and took therefrom
over 120 nails, knives, screws and
tacks, among them being the mar
shal's big barlow knife.
This is an actual and complete in
ventory of the hardware, glassware and
cutlery taken from Vh alien's stomach:
WHAT HE HAD IS HIU.
i 4-bladed knife. 3 1-2 inches long
1 2-bladed barlow knife, 4 inrhes
long.
1 knife blade. 31-4 inches long.
1 knue blade, 3 inches long.
2 knife blades, 2 inches long.
1 knife blade. 1 inch long.
32 large eight and ten penny fence
nails and spikes.
34 six penny wire nails, sliarp
pointed.
26 shingle nails, 1 inch icng.
1 6 carpet tacks and small wire nails
1 horseshoe naiL
3 large screws.
1 barled wire , staple.
3 ounces fine glass.
The astonishing fact is that Whallen
carried this remarkable collection of
junk in his stomach z week and is
alive. 1 "he case is the most remarka
ble of its kind that has ever come to
the attention of doctors and surgeons
in Kansas Gty, and it has few parallels
in the history of surgery.
Whallen is a professional showman,
lie lcgan swallowing nails and glass
when he was a lad of 10 years okL lie
sooa fouad his way into a dime museum
and later into a side show. He trav
eled all over the United States with
CarnunTs and o'.hcr big circuses as a
"human ostrich" and a contortionist.
He can twist himself into almost any
shape, so suple are his joints, and un
til a week ago he could swallow with
safety any object that would pass down
his throat Kansas City Star.
Waa ted m Smart Dog.
James Glasgow, a resident of North
east Missouri, te'ls a story illustrative
of the simplicity of Indians.
Thirty years ago, when he was en
gaged in freighting goods across the
plains, this incident occurred: A mem
ber of the wagon train owned a rat
terrier. The dog had lost his tail
either by accident or design, and had
also had his ears dipped. He was a
clever dog. and was greatly admired
by the Indians, who continually loafed
about the camp.
One day an old Indian inquired if

Gltsow rep'icd in the affirmative, and
the Indian said he owned a pup, and

ait urn off tail and cut um off ears and.

gow nodded his head, and the Indian,
immediately left for his tepee.
It seems the Indian had an idea that
some sort of a curiosity was necessary
in ord to instill the degree of defied
smartness into a dog, and that cutting-
j off has tiil and ears was only a part
thereof. In the course of 4wo hours
'the Indian returned with a worthless:
specimen of a cur carefully wrapped in
an old blanket. Taking the pup rn

handed the Indian the ax and showed
him where to strike in order to reduce
the canine's taii to the desired brevity.
The Indian lifted the ax high, and as
the blade descended Glasgow pur
posely moved the pup so that his body
was severed about the middle.
The Indian carefully picked up the
two pieces of the pup and surveyed
them in silence for two or three min
utes, aad wrapped them up in his blan
ket with the remark:
"Deep hell damn? Cut um too
short!"
Wheat Orowt CbeaL
Thomas Duggins. had the finest
show for wheat a few days ago that
was to be seen in this section of the
country.
A few days ago when it begun to
head out, a discouraging scene was
presented, for scattered through all
the entire field is found a great deal
of cheat. Mr. Diggins sowed clean
wheat and it is evident that "wheat
turned to cheat,' as it often does,
although it is an oft debated question,
which receives as hearty negative
argument as does the affirmative.
SlaUr Index.
"Scientific' men, however, will still
continue to assert that wheat will nog
produce cheat. Facts never count
for anything with him wl en they con
flict with any of their preconceived
theories.

use of two bottles. For past three
years has been attending to business,
