Ilobort TIrup. of 1112 Jifiiyctle tiret, who had u part of ills nose bitten off by a horse several weeks ago, will' not surfer from any noticeable deformity, thanks to the skill of the modern physician. The young man was In the employ of Helser fc Wnrnke, and when the linn purchased a new team, he wont to the .stable to look them over, and as he was admiring them, one of the homes snapped at him and bit off a portion of his nose. When he was taken to the hospital, the physicians decided upon a skin crafting process to replace the imper fect nose. Tlgue underwent live oper ations, In which pieces of flesh were cut from his arm and grafted onto his nose. The operations have boon so successful that he expects to be dis charged from the hospital next week. At first the physicians expected to attach the flpph from th( arm on the nose and sever it afterwards, hut this was deemed impracticable and the open grafting process was resorted to, with the above-mentioned result. A peculiar coincidence in connection with the cafe was that the horse died about the time tile second operation whs performed on young Tlgue. Electric City Wheelmen.

She spread It out on the lioniiiK-bounl, put tho hot Iron on It, and It went away. There was a flash, a puff of smoke, and then no handkerchief, not even tlio ashes of one. When you consider how frightened the washerwoman must havu been at such koIhrs-oii In the broad, open daylight, how worried she must have been lest the gentleman should think she had stolen his hand kerchieffor she was an honest wo man 1 make no doubt whatover, at least as far as cheap cotton handker chiefs were concerned and, of course, she thought ho wouldn't believe her when she told him what hail become of it, you will sft nt once that this Is leally a very line joke Indeed, and ought 10 have been In Die Fllegeudc Hlulter.
