UNITE TO GIVE HUMAN SKIN
Remarkable Society la Organized in
Canadian Capital to Asaiat Sur
geons in Th#ir Work.
Ottawa. Ont.—Sixty-three persons
have enrolled In the Epidermis Supply
company, organized to provide human
skin for grafting operations. The
names of the members are kept secret
by Henry Latter, the organizer, but
the practical quality of the movement
will be tested by calls for strips of
skin to be grafted upon the extensive
bum* sustained by William Thomas,
a royal navy veteran, cow lying at the
general hospital.
It Is believed that only about 35 or
the volunteers will be required.
These men will be honorary members
and will not be expected to give any
more of their skin for at least a year.
Men and youths are still coming for
ward and expressing their willingness
to Join this unique club, and with the
care that Is being taken In the choice
of members an established supply of
healthy epidermis will be at the com
mand of the hospitals of the city. Mr.
lustier was Inspired to form the so
ciety through his own experience of a
skin grafting operation and his realiza
tion of the difficulty of obtaining the
tight kind of human skin at short no

CAR SIDETRACKED FOR BIRDS
Robins Stick to Their Nest on Moving
Train and Win Out From Ad
miring Railroad Men.
Buffalo, N. Y.—Admiration for the
gameness of a pair of robins in stick
ing to their nest on a flying trip be
tween Hamilton, Ont., and Buffalo has
resulted in a car being taken out of
the train and being sidetracked for
their benefit until their young are
ready to shift for themselves.
Patrolman Mooney the other day
noticed the nest behind the top rung
of a brake ladder on an empty car
that came over the international
bridge. When the train came to a
standstill he clambered up to investi
gate. Before he reached the top of
the ladder a pair of robins were flut
tering around and making a great
ado. There were four eggs in the
nest.
Railroad men, who became as inter
ested as the policeman, managed to
find something wrong with the brakes
and the car was placed on a dead sid
ing. where it will be allowed to re
main until the birds get through with
It.
Harvard Uproots Elms.
Cambridge, Mass.—Five of the his

were being uprooted by workmen the
other day. Other trees will have to
come down In the course of the sum

the elm leaf beetle and the leopard
moth, the trees have at last suc
cumbed to an Insect known as the
bark borer. It is doubtful if any of
the elms in the yard, many of which
are nearly a century old, can be saved.
The college has ordered 150 red oak
saplings, which will be planied to re
place the elms.
John C. Xj&e. a former newspaper
man. now a poultry rancher at Hil
yard, Wash., who originated the con
gress ideas, has submitted tentative
plans to A. C. Ware, chairman of the
poultry and game committee of the
Spokane chamber of commerce, for
formal discussion and action at the
next monthly meeting of that body.
“This is not to be a competitive ex
position for fancy breeds or feathers
nor a money making scheme," Mr. L<ee
said, “but an educational affair in the
best sense of the term. There will
be no medals or cash prizes, though
diplomas and ribbons may be award
ed for the best producers. X^imarily,
we are seeking accurate Information,
which Is not now available through
the regular channels.
“Present plans are to set aside a
tract of land near Spokane and erect
the necessary buildings for the care
of the fowls. Experts will be placed
in charge and a record kept of every
pen, the money returns going to the
owners. We believe we can accom
plish good results here, as we have
an even climate and none of the dis
eases common to the chicken family."
POKER NOT AMERICAN GAME
California Supreme Court Judge
Makes Quite Violent Attack on
Alleged National Pastime.
Ix>s Angeles. Cal.—“Don’t you call
poker the great American game in
this court,” said Judge McCormick, of
the superior court, ydsterday. “Amer
ica has too high Ideals to have the
paternity of a gambling game placed
against Its name. I will not allow
this country to be maligned.”
These remarks were called out by
the reference of an attorney for a
j young man accused of giving a worth
less check In payment for poker
losses. The lawyer urged that the
young man should not be convicted
because he had been engaged in a
national pastime.
Judge McCormick placed the youth
on probation for three years, making
him promise to eschew poker and all
i other forms of gambling.

He Can Exchange Mem
ories of the Overland Stage
—How He Blazed the Mail
Coach Trail Into the Then
Unconquered West
AKLAND. CAL.—•‘Billy”
Hodges, the last of a
band of a hundred men
who undertook to blaze
the trail for the mail and
express coach from the
western terminus of the
railways at Fort Smith
into the unconquered
west, is now running an
elevator, writes R. Ellis
Wales in the New York
\\ orld. In the records of the express
company will be found the report of
: this trip of the ‘‘100.’’ It was their
duty to cover so much ground daily, to
record the distance traveled and to es
tablish stations, stocking them and
thus paving the way for the civiliza
; tion which followed at their heels.
The route laid out led them in al
most a direct line for El Paso, through
the rough Osage country, and crossed
the Arkansas river where it divides
the old Pawnee nation from the land
of the Osage. Skirting the territory
of the Comanches they were forced to
throw up fortifications hastily to with
stand the fierce attacks of the barbar
ous hordes. They pulled out of that
country safely to encounter worse—
the land of little water and alkali and
dusty sagebrush. Yet with the cry
of the coyote ringing in their ears they
sang as they went, ending with the ac
complishment of their purpose.
In 1857 the completed route, well
stationed and equipped, stood a monu
ment to the work of that band. For
two years they had struggled and,
while their achievement was of won
derful value to east and west, few
came out of the scathing well and
sound. However, Billy Hodges was
young and fortunate. He had made a
record as a driver; he had the oppor
tunity thrust upon him and he grasped
it. He undertook to drive the mail
and express route from Tucson to
Pima village.
Run One of Wild Excitement.
The run was about 100 miles, but ex
tremely hazardous. Bandits were born
of the rapid development of civiliza
tion and hostile Indians were every
where. Danger was plentifully distrib
uted and six-shooters barked at silent
arrows.
On a day early in 185S Billy arrived
at Pima village to discover that the
relay driver was long overdue. Fear
ing trouble, he followed the custom of
driving into the other man's territory
until the shadows of Apache pass
loomed before him. With him on the
box was a gun messenger, and in the
coach, sitting with the other passen
gers, were other guards. From the
pass there came the yell of the Apa
ches and in an instant a horde of them
were riding circles around the coach.
It was the duty of gun messengers
to shoot, and they shot. It was the
duty of Hodges to drive and he drove.
Lashing out with his whip he sent his
leaders down an incline and success
fully brought them to a stand close
under the shelter of a government fort.
Even there it was precarious. The
handful of soldiers were unable to
cope with the swarms of redskins hov
ering round. The relay coach had tak
en shelter there, not daring to move
through so hostile a country. The In
dians surrounded the pass, blocking
all outlets, and for eight days the
small band held out and fought.
On the eighth day Hodges, realizing
that if no help came soon it would
mean their death, said. “IU go on to
Tucson.”
There was a protest from his asso
ciates, but before his insistence the
others gave way. To go to Tucson for
aid meant his passing through the
zone of Are. There was scarcely any
hope of getting away without being
seen and the moon was bright and
clear. The only chance lay in a dash.
Then there came one to him in the
dead of night and the young driver
heard a soft voice murmur, "Will you
take me along?”
With One Passenger.
"Why, Mary," exclaimed Billy, "it is
impossible. I might take the responsi
bility of the mails and treasure, but
you—no.” y
I must go,” said the girl, her voice
vibrating, "I cannot stand this any
longer. Let me go, I beg of you.”
Time was running short, and young
Hodges was not proof against the girl’s
insistence. The result was that Mary
Androes. setting west to Join her fu
ture husband at Los Angeles, was tak
en on that memorable ride. That she
is living today is due to the skilled
driving and nerve of Billy Hodges.
"I got through," said Hodges, with a
gleam In his eye as he told the story,
“but—"
"The girl?”
Memory Not Cherished.
"Oh, she was landed in Los An
geles all right and married—unfortu
nately!” said the old man, to whom
this was the first romance of his life.
This thing of helping girls to marry
other fellows seemed to give him a bad
taste in his mouth.
Hodges came to California in 185S.
continuing his profession as a stage
driver, and in time was given the fa
mous Placerville road, running from
Sacramento through Placerville to Vir
ginia City. Xev. On this road he
drove the mail and express coaches,
and on many of the trips carried treas
ure amounting to $100,000. As a re
sult he was made the victim of half a
dozen of the greatest holdups in the
history of the Pacific coast.
Many Times Held Up.
On the famous Geiger grade, abput
four miles from Virginia City, Billy
faced the rifles of six bandits, and
the treasure box was dynamited, the
robbers carrying away more than
$S,000. Again he was stopped near
Virginia City. This was in 1865, and
in Six-Mile canyon below the Gould
and Curry mill. The team was forced
to stop, owing to a barricade of old
sluice boxes which the bandits had
placed across the road. The five des
peradoes robbed all the passengers
save one, a pretty scboolma’am.
By the beginning of 1884 he had
saved up considerable money and de
cided to quit the highway. He had
made money on the side by taking or
ders from ranchers, as did his associ
ate drivers. Frequently, he said, his
hat was filled with memoranda, em
bracing orders from a case of rum to
a piece of blue ribbon.
Simultaneously with his quitting the
road he bought the Mount Hamilton
stage line, running from San Jose
to the mountain. Not long after this
he was commissioned to haul the great
36-lnch lens to the observatory. The
wagon was especially built for the trip
and the delicate glass was placed in an
oaken casket, the whole thing weigh
ing 800 pounds. Later, upon the re
moval of the body of James Lick from
the vault in San Francisco, he hauled
the coffin up to Mount Hamilton, and
was present when the body was sealed
in the sarcophagus beneath the im
mense telescope.
He tells many anecdotes of the
men he has known and asoctated with,
both famous and notorious drivers and
robbers. He tells of the time when
Horace Greeley was making a tour
of the Pacific coast and was scheduled
to make a speech at Placerville. He
went aboard the stage driven by quaint
Hank Monk, and as he stepped in he
shouted:
Got Greeley There on Time.
"Mr. Monk, I must deliver a lecture
in Placerville tomorrow night Can
you get me there on time?"
Monk assured him that he could,
and started off the team along the old
"corduroy" road, paved with small sap
lings, half buried in clay. Miles and
|
] miles they went, with Monk whistling
merrily, and Horace Greeley, the only
passenger, being plumped about within
the rolling coach without being able
to help himself In the least. At last
the dignified passenger could stand it
no longer. When he had been thrown
for the fortieth time against the wood
en frame of the coach door he cried
; out: "Mr. Monk, don’t you think you
are going pretty fast?” Monk let go
a mouthful of tobacco juice, and, giv
ing a sharp crack with the whip to
the leader, replied musically: "Keep
! your seat, Mr. Greeley, I’ll get you
! there on time!" Greeley got there on
j time, as he had demanded, and the
| lecture was jolted clean out of him.
He arrived in Placerville seasick and
| brain-fagged.
Hodges was associated with the fa
mous twin stage drivers. Curly Dan
and Curly Jerry, fearless and careful;
men, whose innocent deception, owing
to their extreme likeness, of passen
gers was the cause of great hilarity.,
It happened that Dan would start out
with the stage in the early morning '
from Placerville, and at midnight j
would arrive at the changing station,
where he would give his seat on the
box to his brother, likewise curly-hair
ed and featured. The passengers be
ing asleep they were not aware of the
exchange, and next morning, when
they spied whom they thought was
' Curly Dan upon the seat, they sup
j posed he had been driving withoul
sleep since the morning of the day be
fore. Jerry used to have a great
time convincing the curious passen-1
gers that he was not his brother, but
his brother’s brother.
Drove President Grant.
When President Grant did a little
staging in the west In 1879, there was
great rivalry among the stage drivers
as to who should handle the reins on
the coach that took him from Placer
ville to Virginia City. Billy Hodges
got the honor, which was also a
“plum" because of the additional
money in the job, and when they start
ed outsGrant looked at the frisky six
horse team and then at the driver,
who at the time was looking as sporty
and frisky as his animals. "That’s a
frisky team and a frisky driver, but
he's got a good eve and a white
nose!" exclaimed the president.
Grant marveled at the speed with
which they traveled, and the way they
dashed into Virginia City on that mem
orable day just suited the old war
rior. He complimented Hodges on his
work with the reins.
During the years from 1870 to 1884
Wells-Fargo lost, incidental to robber
ies. $927,726.55. There were during this
time 313 stage holdups, 34 attempted
robberies and four train robberies.
More than 15 guards were killed or
wounded, while more than two dozen
bandits were killed, besides those sent
to state prison.
Some of these facts are here publish
ed for the first time, for Billy is not
much of a talker until he is poked up
a bit and quizzed. He manipulates
that lever and calls out the “floor,"
not understanding or caring little for
the power that lifts and lowers this
strange modern coach.
SURELY MAN OF GREAT FAITH
Never la the Potential Possibilities of
the Growth of Hair Allowed to
Be Forgotten.
Some time ago the editor of a pop
ular department in this newspaper
printed a modest recipe for making
hair grow. The writer did not guar
antee that the recipe would do it. The
writer did not even express an ed
itorial opinion on the merits of the
recipe.
But in spite of this natural and dip
i lomatic reserve on the part of the
writer that hair-growing rqgipe has
made its way from sea to sea with re
markable speed. No editorial utter
ance of this newspaper has been so
widely quoted by other newspapers In
months. This hair growing recipe
seems to have struck a popular chord.
It Is strange the readiness with
which people will seise on anything
that promises hair. Hope springs eter
1 nal ,*n the bald head's breast; also in
the breast of everybody with thin
hair. There are no exceptions. LJttle
hair, much faith!
We are an optimistic nation. But
where growing hair is in question our
optimism scales its keenest heights.
Personal hair is the one subject about
which men cannot remain despondent.
In spite of everything they feel that
polished heads were not meant to be
eternally thus; that somewhere be
neath the surface the hair is lying,
only waiting for the proper call to
rise.
A man may be a confirmed hypo
chondriac. Everything may go wrong
with him and the world. He may
have rheumatism, lumbago, and a half
doxen other diseases. He may be ex
pecting each or all of them to carry
him off any minute. He may walk en
veloped in gloom.
But do not be deceived. That man
believes in the utmost possibilities of
hair. The night is never so dark that
he cannot foresee the dawn of hair.
His unconscious creed is, "Hair can
be grown." Rheumatism, liver trou
ble, heart disease may be ready to
take him away. But no power exists
to take away the possibility of hair
from his living, breathing pate.
Take a cynical, skeptical sort of
man. He may deny everything. He
may take a particular pleasure in
shocking other people's faith. He may
deny the existence of public honor or
private virtue. He may be tho very
incarnation of negation, the fruit and
flower of skepticism, a paladin of
doubt, a questioner of all things high
and low.
But when it comes to hair—how
great the change! He believes that
if only the proper combination can
be found his intellect will once more
be crowned with tufted beauty. No
certainty, of course. But still a pos
sibility— even a strong probability.
Wonderful things have been done in
the pay of restoring absent hair. A
man is foolish to doubt the evidence.
It is too strong to be lightly put aside.
He will not—cannot do it
Great, great and mysterious is hair!
Present it is a protection and a joy.
Absent the very nurse of hope and
faith and patience. We may not fathom
the secret of its power and influence.
We can only see and note and wonder.

a stranger to my pillow till nearly

“I had to be very careful as to what
I ate. and even with all my care I ex

“Since I began the use of Grape

“I find that by eating a dish of this
food after my Sabbath work Is done,
(and I always do so now) my nerves
are quieted and rest and refreshing
sleep are ensured me.
“I feel that I could not possibly do
without Grape-Nuts food, now that 1
know Its value. It Is Invariably on out
