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:

While visiting his factory one day his coat
waa caught In a shafting and be was hurled

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

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.

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,

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.

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,

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."

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."

Men have always wanted pepper, so much
that long ago when they still knew so lit

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.
