I CRUCIAL TESTS OF SERVE But Not the Kind Exhibited by tba Han Who Aiks You for Ten Dollars. ATUNDINGTO BUSINESS WHILE LIFE EBBED Fortitude and Grit of Men tnder the Snrsteon'a KnKf, on the llnnt Ins Field and la Crit ical sltaatlons. A patient of a prominent New York phy sician walked Into tba latter'a omce the other day, and as he placed a band over the amall of bla tack, announced: "Doctor. I'va a severe pain here; what'e the trouble?" "Strip to the waist and I'll tell you In ahort order." replied the practitioner, who la also well known as a surgeon. After a brief examination he added: "You've an ugly tumor on your liver. The man thought a moment, then, "I want It removed at once," he Bald, quietly. "Tut, tut, man. don't be so hasty." cau tloned the physician. Dut the patient, more doggedly than before, answered: "I mean It, Doc. I want that tumor re tnored before I leave thla office." The physician looked the man In the eyea and saw that they wavered not. He felt bla pulse and examined his heart and found them normal. "All right." he aald, ahortly. Within fifteen minutes a man was lying fen a couch and the physician waa making fe ten-Inch Incision In hla back. Half an tiour later the tumor waa removed and an hour after he had submitted to the opera' tlon, during which he had refused ether, the patient, with his liver cleansed, rode to his home In a cab, calmly undressed, went to bed and then told his wife what had happened. "He never whimpered, never quivered an yelld," declared the doctor, as he related the Incident; "and he would have gone home alone had I not forced myself Into the cab. He showed absolutely no fear at anything, and In appearance he looks like a man who has only an ordinary amount of grit. Yet his exhibition of nerve waa the most Inspiring that I ever have seen." "But your nerve, doctor, in performing urh an operation off-band," Interrupted one of the auditors. The reply was laconic: "Lay It to the fonducsa for handling tha knife." Calmly Farea Death. For three houra after the recital of the doctor's story the men who bad listened to It recounted remarkable and almost super human cases of nerve that they had heard or met with, and here are some of the atories that they told: A physician prominent In New York atats wns Interested in manufacturing. While visiting his factory one day his coat waa caught In a shafting and be was hurled around and around with terrific force, and very time be went 'round his legs struck an adjacent wall. When he waa finally released be was found to be still alive, and physic-lens were hurriedly sent for. A half doicn of them came, beheld their Injured brother and shook their heada. "I knew It," Bald the man. "I've already diagnosed the case. You'd just be wast' Ing you time If you tried to do anything. Dut tell me, don't you agree with me that I'll live about five houra before the shock takea effect?" The six men of medicine nodded. "Then Bend for a lawyer." The lawyer came. Rationally and calmly the cruohed man dictated his last will and testament and signed it with a band as steady as that 'of a man In full health. . "Now," he aald, wlen the last witness had affixed hla signature, "please send for my wife." A little later on he requested: "Call up air. Blank and Mr. So-and-So on the 'phone and say that I want to talk over some im portant business mattera with them." For over an hour tba three partnera ar ranged for tha conduct of the doctor'a bust neaa Interests after hla death. The con ference ended, the injured man turned to bla wife: "Now, dearest," he said, "I've still an hour to live. Give me a cigar, take hold of my hand, and we'll -wait patiently for tha end." And so he died with a smile on his llpa and the blue smoke of his cigar curling about his head. Taking? Cool ghntlle. A man in southern Illinois had com mitted a cold-blooded murder. He waa a member of a notorious secret society of criminals and had been selected to put out of tha way a traitor to the organiza tion. Ha found hla victim scouring tha country as a member of a sheriff's posse tor an eacaped criminal. The man literally rode Into the arms of the law, asked his victim It be were so-and-so, received an affirmative answer, then and there shot him dead, fought hla way through the posse and fled. . Two days later be waa discovered hiding In a house in a neighboring small town. He waa bored by a dosen bullets. but ba lived and was sentenced to be hanged.

The New White House Throughout the entire reconstruction of the new White House, or the "President's llouee. as It wss called of old. the nrevall. Ing simplicity and richness and the har mony of all the details in furniture, hang ings, carvings and marble show the domi nation of one mind In the arrangement of the whole. That unity baa been so per fectly secured with such grateful variety In the trestment of the several rooms la due to the presiding architect, Mr. McKlm. The American citizen who aeea the new White House and has the opportunity of wandering through lta rooms, relatea the Now York Times, will feel that the Dresl- dent Is fitly housed. The condition of the W'btte House was so bad as to necessitate a radical chance. Some of the woodwork waa positively rotten. The great East room Is already com- pleNd. Thla runs north and south the entire depth of the White House, making a grandiose apartment 78x38 feet. It is all In white. The walls are marked off by fluted Corinthian pilasters and panels. There la a liberal use of decorative featurea and rich gilding, so that, with a certain noble simplicity In keeping with the architectural character of the bouse Itself, there is a re fined dignity that accords with the large public functions for which thla room la used. There are wtndowa on three sides of the room, and a veranda adjoins the coat em wall. The corresponding west side la entirely taken up by the state dining room, which boa been considerably enlarged, eo that It Is now 38x49 feet, and the private dining room, on the north side, which Is 28x25 feet. A large pantry adjolna this. The Btate dining room, as beflta its pur pose, is one of the richest In its treat ment. It Is finished In Imported English oak a wood of a rich natural brown and beautifully grained. The carving and gild!- Ing In this room are magnificent, yet with Things We If you should happen to see a little book that Uncle Sam baa Just published en titled "Sources of tbe Agricultural Importa of the United States" you would hardly consider it a delightful story book. It la full of tablea of long figures in fine print and most depressing to the rlew, like a rainy Saturday. Yet that book really la aa Interesting aa a game, relates the New York Sun. You can do with It what Robert Louis Steven son's children did when they gazed out of their wlndowa and over tbe garden palinga and Imagined for fun that the land beyond waa a far, strange country and that the familiar brook waa a mighty mountain river roaring through the heart of Asia and that the neighbors were men of savage climes. Uncle Sam'a dry book of figures Is like a window that opens Into the storylanda of the world. The stories jump all around, from the Pacific Islands to London and from tbe Azores to Australia. And some most common articles suddenly get new In terest when we see from what queer places they come. For Instance, where do you suppose most of our Imported beeswax cornea from? It la aent from the Island that we made free Cuba. And tha neighbor In the Caribbean sea, Santo Domingo, furnishes the next greatest quantity. The blaqk republic, Haytl, which 1 on that aame Island, also auppllea a great deal. In Haytl and Santo Domingo the beeswax la brought to the dingy little seaport plaeea by natlvea from the interior. Most of these ports have certain days when everybody oomes into market. Then one may see, early In the morning aa aoon as the wonderful sulphur-yellow daws begins, lonr lines of small, black donkeya winding down tbe narrow paths of the beautiful mountains that rise almost from tbe sea. Each donkey has two cunning baaketa. one on a aide. They are made of plaited palm leaves and of stout grasses) and they are stuffed full of all tbe strange products of the land great yama like Immense sweet potatoes, pineapples that fill the hot morning air with delicious odors, fat Ilttlo red bananas, great plantains like yel low bananas, only much longer and not nice to eat raw; big piles of oranges and grape gallows. A man now prominent In New York City was assigned to the task of try ing to prevent the expiation of the crime. His attempts resulted In failure, and tha day.Jjefore the date aet for the execution he called on the murderer and Informed him that nothing more could be done. 'AH right," aaid the man. "but they'll hang the wrong fellow tomorrow." To the politician's query whether he could do anything for him, the prisoner an swered "no." "But what about a priest?" asked the politician. "No," said tbe condemned man, adding a moment later: "But there'a a Methodist preacher In town who's been kind to me. I'd like to tell him goodby." Half an hour before the time aet tor the hanging, the sheriff went to the murderer's cell. He had been a model prisoner and the sheriff wanted to show his appreciation In soma way, so he asked: 'Well. Jim, Is there anything I can do for you?" 'I'll thank you for a good cigar," was tha reply. When the procession to the gallows started the prisoner wss calmly smoking a cigar. Arrived under tbe noose the sheriff spoke: 'I'm sorry to Interrupt you, Jim, but It's time to quit amok log." 'I beg your pardon for delaying you. sheriff." replied the man, without a tremor In bla voice And then with the calmness of a man taking a cigar from hla mouth and placing It carefully on the edge of his desk preparatory to writing hla signature to a paper, the murderer removed his cigar from bia mouth and placed It oa the scaf fold's rail. Then he crossed his hands behind his back. The cigar and tbe man s life went out together. A Policeman la Action. Fifteen yeara ago there was a policeman In New York of the name of Sheridan. He bad a aide partner as extraordinarily big aa he was little. The big man one day Interfered with the doings of the notor ious Eaat Side gang of "Short Tails," wharf rata and looters, and hs was murdered la broad daylight on hla beat for hla palna. When the captain of the district heard of the murder he declared that now at last tbe "Short Tails" would be broken up and Imprisoned, despite the, pleadings of prom inent politicians who were swarming around tbe atation house. So he act about forming a platoon of police to take Into the baunta of tha gang. As be waa about thla duty the murdered man's chum, little Sheridan, strolled la. "They murdered him, did tbey?" be yelled. "And they've got bricks piled on the roots of the tenements to throw at us when we march into their atrset, have they? And tbsy're standing on tbe street eoraers looking for a fight? Well, THE OMAHA DAILY KEE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1902. that touch of reserve which marks the decoration of the entire bouse. The parquet floor will have a deep border of marble for the woodwork of the wall. The ceiling. In stucco, will be ornate. A large marble fireplace Is at th middle of the west wall. A great American eagle is an appropriate and graceful feature of the panel above this fireplace. One marked feature of this room will be heada of American animals, such as bison, moose, deer, and the like, splendidly mounted, which will stud the frieze at regu lar intervals. Possibly trophies of the chase which tbe rifle of the present strenu ous president has secured may add a his torical interest to some of these Impressive featurea of the room. Between the Eeast room and the state dining room there are three smaller rooms on the south side the Green room, the Red room and the Blue room. The Red room, an ovsl 39x29 feet In dimension. Is between the two others, which are each 28x22, so that this oval Is In the middle of the south ern front, its southern curve projecting somewhat beyond tbe line of the bouse and forming a bay, which Is continued on tbe floor above. These three rooms will be treated la velours of the several colore which have given them their names. Although their dimensions do not call for such elaborate treatment aa the enormous East room or the state dining room, they will have in hangings and furniture a harmonious and delightfully decorative character. The rest of the spaco on tbe ground floor Is taken up by the vestibule which the Pennsylvania avenue entrance opens Into, a spacious corridor, a fine stairway at tbo east side and an elevator and small ante room at the west side. The floor above Is given over to living Buy Abroad fruit, green coffee ben-lea Just aa they have been picked and beeswax. In looking again through this window of Uncle Sam's we ace that most familiar and commonplace thing, the onion. But where do you suppose we see It coming from? From Egypt, the land of obelisks and pyra mids and burled Pharaohs. We call on many other lands for onions,' too. England sends us the most. Tben comes beautiful Bermuda, the land of lilies. Then cornea Spain, Cuba, the British islands in the Wcat Indies, Italy, Canada, Mexico and France. A few years ago we imported many thou sands of bushels from Switzerland. Now and then a few come from China. Uncle Sam'a children really do need lots of food. Such a thing as cheese, for In stance, comes to them from twenty-one different countries and some of them are the very last ones that you would think of aa shipping cheese to America. Who would suppose that Uncle Sam got aome of bla cheese from Turkey? Almost a ton of it waa sent to us from that coun try last year. The year before wa even, got aome from Egypt. Eggs make a curious story, too. The Chinese empire ahlpped more to ua lost year than did any other foreign country. The Chinese hens had to lay faat to supply our demand, for 80,000 dozens were sent to Yankeeland. Hens In Canada, Mexico, i Japan, England and France had to help. The aheep herders of all the world had to watch flocks for us. Bough, lonely men In rude shanties in Australia and New Zealand, half-breeds In tbe wide plains of Argentine, In South America; sedato, flaxen-haired little shepherd boys In Bel glum, Germany and France; wild armed Mongolian rovers In China, mounted Tartar herdera on tbe Russian ateppes, Peruvian Indiana, blanketed Uruguayans all tended aheep whose fleece reached Uncle Sam. Men fought wolves In Russia, Jaguars in the Argentine and In Peru, flesh-eating parrots In New Zealand and robbera In China that tbe big republic, of which many of them knew almoat nothing, might have the wool at last. The clothing that you are wearing now many be made from wool that haa had adventures that would make the finest story book, and it would all be true. Then there la the pepper window in tha their aouls, they'll get all they want and I'll give it to 'em!" Without club or firearm of any kind 8herldan dashed out of the station house and ran Into the heart of tbe "Short Talis' " stamping ground. Recognizing a group of their leaders on a street corner be walked up to them, expeditiously knocked down every mother's aon of them, grabbed two of the more notorloua by their coat collars, and, turning bla back on the crowd, marched them toward the ata tion house. On the way there and a few blocks further en a "Short Tall" made a disparaging remark about the murdered po liceman. Quick as a flash, little Sheridan ordered bla two prisoners to halt. Jumped over the bystander, knocked him down, dragged him over to where tbe other bat-tered-up "Short Talis" were meekly stand ing In their tracks, atood the third victim In line, and without further ado, drove them Into the atatfon house. Sheridan reached there just as the platoon was Issuing forth. He quickly banded bis prisoners over to the turnkey. Joined the platoon, and in the general round-up that followed took a leading part and arrested a dozen "Short Tails." Battling: with n Sta. Frits Werner was a German foreater. One day a stag gored him frightfully in tha abdomen. Aa the infuriated animal pulled out hla antlers, backed away and prepared for a aecond charge, tha Injured man propped himself on an elbow and fired Just aa the stag waa closing In on him. The animal fell dead and tbo man fainted away. When he recovered consciousness be found that be could not attract attention by shout ing, for his voice had left him. He realized that he waa out of tbe beaten paths and that unleas be dragged himself to a fre quented place he would surely die. So he began dragging himself through the forest In tbe direction of his employer's house, three miles away. He started on hla journey at noon; at S o'clock the next morning the occupants of the house were arouaed by the explosion of a gun nearby. Investigating they found tbe forester. In a dead faint and nearly dead from loss of blood, lying on the lawn. By his side was a smoking gun. When the Injured man got so that be could speak and tell bis story, his master asked him: "But why did you drag that heavy gun all the way?" "I knew that I couldn't shout when I did reach aa Inhabitable place," was tbe reply, "so I brought It along to attract attention. I didn't think of It until I had crawled for half a mile, then I crawled back and got It." Or. T. H.

The oval room corresponding to the Blue room of the ground floor Is tbe library. On the side toward the east are two bedroooms and an office room, which open Into a sit ting room, whose windows look to the east. Tbe arrangement of the eouth aide west of the library Is the samo. On the north side there are alx bedrooms. A large ball with skylights takea up the central space on thla floor between these rooms. Tbe taste of Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice has been considered In the treatment of their rooms. Everything Is In keeping with the Colonial character of the White House, and hence Is marked by refined and tasteful simplicity. The ball Is In a rich green burlap, with the woodwork and celling of a creamy white. The sitting rooms have large Co lonial windows, and the draperlea of these windows are a cretonne of an old-fashioned pattern. Large crimson hollyhocks are on Mrs. Roosevelt's, while artless pink rosea and IUies of tha valley In clusters, with flowing blue ribbon, give a girlish touch to those of Miss Roosevelt's. They are draped In tbe aimpleat fashion. Mrs. Roosevelt's dressing room Is In paper of a gray tint, the pattern being of a most delicate rose. Tbe curtains are of Bilk, also rose colored, but of a richer tone. The carpet la of a solid color In peart grsy. Miss Alice' dressing room Is papered with a lattice pattern, with rich red roses, and the chlnta curtains match It perfectly, and the carpet also. The president's apartment at the south west corner of this floor consists of a bed room, private office, library and sitting room. The bed room Is papered with a green ribbon pattern, and the curtains match it. Hla private office la in rich golden browns, and the library Is a Colonial blue. Stranre Places Where We Get Articles to Eat and Wear. book. Pepper takea one iuto distant for eign climes, Indeed. In Germany when big folk want to frighten children they threaten to send them to "the land where the pepper grows." That Is most alarming to the German chil dren and often they become quite good al most at once. Men have always wanted pepper, so much that long ago when they still knew so lit tle about the world that they Imagined it was flat they made daring voyages to look for It. The old Arabian Bailors, much as they feared the djlnns and the great bird roc and other terrors of the unknown world, managed to make their way to the East Indlea and carry back great cargoes of It. The Portuguese ventured clear around the Cape of Good Hope to get It. Uncle Sam needs an Immense amount of It. He Imported more than eight tons of It last year. All of Uncle Sam'a pepper did not come from the East Indies. One-half ton came from the West Indlea. Egypt and China aent some, too. Egypt Is sending us many more products than one would gueea. We get tobacco, tea, sugar, opium, olive oil, raisins, figs, dates, cotton, hldea and skins and butter from that ancient land. . Uncle Sam buya something everywhere, even In the most unlikely places. The book shows that heeVtught horses In Sweden and Norway; bones. lWs and horna In all aorta of places from Venteela, In South Amer ica, to Japan; milk in Denmark and Mexico; feathers in Aden, on the Red Sea, and China, !Astria and Gautemala; grease as far as Au8tf.lla and cider in Cuba and Spain. He sent td"te Island of Malta, to Servla, to Spanish Africa, to the Canary Islanda and to the mouth of the Amazon river for goat skins. He bought sausages in Hong Kong. Painted FIJI Islanders sold bis traders sau sage casings. Tbe free men of Liberia, the African re public, sold him coffee, as did the yellow Samoans, negroes from the Congo and the Central Americans.

The Injured member was in a terribly decomposed state and tbe man was evidently suffering Intensely, although he gave no outward sign. When the captain asked the doctor what could be done, the latter started to tell bim In confidence. At that the sailor spoke up: "Don't be afraid to tell me, doctor," he said; "I can stand It all right." "Well, my man," responded Dr. Bean "amputation Is the only thing that will relieve you, but I have neither the neces sary instruments or anesthetics." The sailor smiled. "Don't mind about little thlnga Ilka that," he said. "But" began Dr. Bean. The sailor smiled again. "Oh, Btart In now," was all that he said. Dr. Bean had with him a case of pocket Instruments for dissecting birds. When he pulled this out the sailor seated himself on a cask, unceremoniously crossed his legs and held out tbe Injured foot. The doctor started to work. He first re moved the toes with the little bird knife, which hacked more than it cut. Then he found that up under the flesh the instep bone waa affected for nearly an Inch. So he bad to rip and turn back the flesh. Then with tweezers, for he had no saw, he snipped off the diseased part of the bone little at a time. That done he pulled the flesh down and sewed up the wound After an bour'a work he announced that the job was finished. And .the sailor's foot bad not quivered nor a muscle in his face moved in pain. Smilingly tbe aallor uncrossed his legs, slid off the cssk, reached for tbe doctor's band, shook It heartily, roared a grateful "I thank ye, sir," and then hobbled off toward tbe fo'csle, whistling a rollicking Bailor s Jig.
