FOUND ALL THE SYMPTOMS
Clark, New York Journalist,
Know Ha Had Appendicitis,
Though Doctor* Denied It.
"Boss” Clark, who has been city
editor ef the New York gun for more
years than Ip likes to say, according
to the Popular Magazine, arrived pi
Ms offlee one afternoon, took‘off hts
-coat, sat down at U>e % desk, groaned
aloud three times, and complained of
a severe pain In His side. “I think I
have appendicitis," he remarked, “and
I am going to And out about It pretty
soon." A few mlmftes later one of
the reporters found him In the offlee
library studying a medical book. frße
boss slammed tbe book shut, lopked
op at tbe reporter, and said In a tone [
of finality: “I hup got It. I find that
I have'every'symptom set oflt in this
chapter." He went home and- called
a doctor, who examined him and told
him ‘that there was nothing the mat
ter with him. Two .flours later tbe
boss telephoned' for his brother, who
is a dergyrpan, to come over from j
Brooklyn to see him. Then he. went
to bed. When his brother arrived, j
the boss said: "I know you are a
preacher, but this is where you go to !
a rnm shop. 1 read in the medical [
book at the offlee tha champagne is I
good for appendicitis. I am suffering j
tortures with appendlcitus, and 1 want 1
a quart of champagne. Oo get It."
And. he clerical brother went- and got
it The boss drank it all, Jiu't did'
him no good. Before sunrise the inext
morning, he telephoned to a hospital
for the ambulance, and he had himself
taken to the operating room, where
he persuaded the physician that he
had appendicitis. He was right, and
the operation saved his life.
EARLY CULTURE IN MEXICO
Existence of Highly Civilized Prehis

'Antique Pleasure Garden.

Oaxtepec from 1,600 to. 2.000 years ago
Is the latest theory of Guillermo Tel
lez regarding the recently discovered
garden of Montezuma.
Mr. Tellez applied'to the department
of publrc Instruction foe a special per
mit to make explorations In the gar
den. He states that concerning twen
ty-one successive caciques on the land
with codices In possession of the Na
tional Mhseum has led him to believe
that the garden has great antiquity,*;.
He has been devoting a large part of
four years to studying the plants
found there. Through the Inscription's
he has been able' to glean historical
data concerning twenty-one successive
caciques. Tropical trees, flowers and
fruits were transplanted from the Isth
mus of Tehuantepec and Central Amer
ica to this garden, and there were
grown cocoas, vanila, parota, yolloxo
shlU, mecaxochltl and another rare
flower which gives oil Its odor In the
night.
These plants and their friends were
ingredients of the del’clous chocolates
which were the favorite beverages of
the Aztec lords when Cortes arrived.
The garden was visited by Aeamapixie
and Uhutcaralna, the second named be
ing Identical with Montezuma. It Is
claimed that Montezuma ilh-lcamlna
appropriated this" beautiful garden to
bis personal royal uses and pleasure.

Experimental physics was then

were hurrleH along by the prevailing

amours and stud, his fashions and

The Marquis d’Arlandes stole a few
hours from court to pursue a series of .

business It was to make paper, had (

TOLD OF GALLIFFET
ANECDOTES OF "ENFANT TER
RIBLE" OF FRENCH ARMY.
Once Ate a Wineglass on a Wager—
How He Attempted to'Lead a
Cavalry Charge Down a
Steep Embankment
! \ r
There Is hardly a Paris paper which
does not every tew days print a story
about the late Marquis General de
Galllffet, who crowned' an adventur
ous career hy accepting the portfolio
of war Id the "Cabinet,'of Republican
Defense” only to And himself face to
faee with M, MUlerand, the socialist
minister of commerce, whose, father
Galllffet had once ordered to be ehoL
Titet was during the Commune.
"I forgive yota” said the son cor
dially.
“I had no idea be was such a bad
father,” remarked 'the Marquie dryly,
refusing to take, ttys proffered hand.
A volume of Galllffetlana has been
compiled M. Louis Thomas. Some
of th'e irtorlea tpld of -and by the ?av
alry officer, who was ah 'enfant ter
rible" all his loa.g life, are new. Here
Is a bet of Galllffet's:'
"One evening, when I was quite a
yofing officer, I bet that 'I would eat
a wineglass, stem.and all, and’ 1. did.
I-took some time about it,. blit I jite
U. My mouth .was bleeding when 1
had done, .but I went to bed all right.
At 3 in the morning 1 woke up in
fearful pain. I tried to think what
1 had eaten, and- then I remembered.
lt„.was the wineglass, of course. I
proceeded to kick myself. 'Galllffet,’
I said, 'you're an ass. You were going
to die for'your" country, and now, you
are %olng to die In your bed, because
of a driveling- and disgusting bet.'
While 1 cursed myself . the pain
stopped. I turned around, went to
sleep and woke up fresh and fit.in
the morning, and thought no more
about the wineglass.”
Some say that the pluck which Gal
llffet certainly had can\e from a good
digestion, which he cqrtalnly seems
to have had also. Here is a military
anecdote of him:
"During some maneuvers he yraa
watching, a charge of cavalry under
his orders. Suddenly the leading
squadron stopped dead. Gjlllffet
roared, ‘Send me the colonel!' and be
galloped up.
" 'Now, colonel, what's wrong?'
" 'We came upon a road at the
bottom of an embankment too steep
to-ride'down, sir.’
" 'Nonsense, sir! You are not fit
for your fob. I will lead the charge.
You-go to the tall of the squadron.'
"Galllffet took the command, gal
loped to the road and rolled down
the embankment wi£h his horse. Ly
ing on his back with a sprained mus
cle In hts leg he shouted to his men
to stop, adding, ‘Send me the. colonel.’
¥he colonel came up from the tall of
the squadron. 'Colonel, you were
right; I am a blank fool. You may
take the command of k your regiment
again.’ ”
Toward the end of his life, when
In a bad temper, Galllffet Instated on
calling himself a -played-out old Idiot.
Joilrnallsts would try to Interview
him, and he generally sjifm'cd them
the door with a voluble speech.

“1 had a most delightful time
summer," gushed Miss Nollng, "but 1 I
was dreadfully Inconvenienced at
Iyeaflandvtlle waiting for my trunk. I
went there by the N. T. C. bo as to
take advantage of the scenery along
that, route: but 1 had to send my
trunk on the stow B. C. A E."
"But why couldn’t you have sent
your trunk on the N. T. C., too?” mur
mured Miss Sterling.
"because," explained Miss Nollng,
glad to show her superior knowledges!
■’! learned from a friend of mine that
the N. T. C. itn’t a trunk line."
