One does not see mention of so many
operations for appendicitis any more
And this suggests that like so many
other fleeting fads tho use of the
knife in this disease has passed out of
style A case in point is reported in an
eastern city A man subject to fits was
recently picked up on tho streets and
hurried to the emergency hospital When
plnced on tho operating table for exami
nation the following request tatooed on
his breast caught the gaze of the sur
geons Please dont operate for appen
dicitis I have had my appendix remov

The football season is now closed for
1002 and some enterprising journalist
has already had time to list the dead
and wounded The total number of
deaths from tho game is thirteen while
tho list of badly injured totals seventy
eight not to mention the hundreds of
minor injuries not considered worthy of
mention The seventy eight noted were
injured so badly that they wore incapaci
tated for tho game for the rest of the
season And yet this is the great na
tional game over which some men grow
frenzied and some women hysterical

The Man Who is Ahead
In every paper we pick up were sure
to iind a lot of silly gush about the man
who is behind Theres the man behind
the counter and the man behind the gun
the man behind the buzz saw and the
man behind his son the man behind the
times the man behind his rents the
man behind the plowshares the man be
hind the fence the man bohind the
whistle and the man behind the bars
the man behind the kodak and the man
behind tho cars the man behind his
whiskers and the man behind his fist
and everything behind a thing is entered
nthis list But theyve skipped an
other fellowof whom nothing has been I
said the fellow who is even or a little j
way ahead who always pays for what he
gets whose bill is always signed hes a
blamed sight more important than the
man who is behind All we editors and
merchants and the whole commercial
clan are indebted for existence to this
honest noble man He keeps us all in
business and his town is never dead and
so I take my hat o ff to tho man who is
ahead The Yellow Jacket

HER CARRIAGE LUXURY
V Doesnt Lat Look lint It Fills Her
With Exqnialte Joy
Of course said tlie New York
young woman who earns her own liv
ing though a natural horn lady I
cant afford to ride in carriages and
ordinarily I get around in the street
cars but there Is a moment or two in
my life when I rise superior it com
mon things and take to wings
I have some friends who are able
to live at the Waldorf aud I go there
to see them once or twice a month But
do 1 go in the cars Never I come
down from home in the cars but at
Thirty third street and Broadway 1 get
out and interview a cabby at the stand
there I always pick out the nicest
looking turnout and 1 offer the driver
00 cents to drive me to the Waldorf
He looks at me as if I were daffy but
1 tell him I know what I am about
and if he wants to earn 50 cents in
about two minutes he has the oppor
tunity
lie smiles and tells me to get in
and I order him to drive up to the
Thirty third street entrance with a
whirl and a dash There are always
two or three flunkies there and it does
make me feel too good for anything
just to swing into the curb and have
the crowd of them simply fall over
themselves to wait on me and bow
me in
It is all over in a very few seconds
but such exquisite pleasure as I get
out of it couldnt in the nature of
mortal things be of long continuance
The human system couldirt stand it

How Wine Jn3fcs Keep Solier
If you have ever gone into a wine
merchants office and sampled different
vintages says the Philadelphia Ledger
you will have observed that the dealer
never swallows the wine lie puts into
his mouth but holds it there for a time
while lie lightly breathes through his
nose His palate tells him whether the
wine is rough or smooth but his sense
of smell detects its aroma and is large
ly depended on to determine its quality
Of course it is the brain to which the
smell is communicated that is really
instrumental In Gxing values and as
the effect on the brain is only mo
mentary a great deal of wine may be
sampled in this way without ill ef
fects but when the wine is permitted
to pass into the stomach the fumes
which arise from it continue to assail
the brain as long as the liquor remahiB
there in its orignal state and if taken
in large quantities results in muddling
the brain
