BLAMED THE SHIP'S COOK
Youthful Tars Desert Vessei at
San Pedro and Tell
Troubles.
Los Angeles, Cal.—Two diminutive
Belgian brothers, eighteen and fifteen
respectively, who sailed the high seas
to nearly all parts of the world, onlv
to come to grief in San Pedro, occu
pied the attention of Judge Wilbur in
the juvenile court recently, with the
result that Edward, the younger, is {0
be deported.
Their family name is Schmidt:
Charles, by repeatedly motioning his
little broiher to silence by placing his
finger to his lips, told the story of
their world-roaming and downfall.
Charles said he had always longed
to sce Ameriea and leadily yiclded to
the importunities of one of the oid
salts to desert the ship and live with
him at San Pedro. Edward joined in
the “midnight duck,” as they termed
it, because “the bloomink cook was
a bally owd swivel and abused” him.
This was seven months ago. PBEcoth
boys speak English with a cockney
accent.
Duringethe examination it was al
ways “aye” and “sir” with them.
“How old were you when you went
to sea, KKdward?” queried the court.
“Hafter fourteen, sir,” returned the
little fellow. ' |
“l got a job and did fine; got it yet,” .
said Charles, “but the kid ’ere would
do nobbut lay around.” \
“Oh, 1 say now,” expostulated the
ex-cabin midget, with a business-like
hitch at his sea-going togs, “they
wanted to send me to the country.
What's in the bloomin’ San Pedro
village, 1 ask yer? Nowt. I want’s
to ship again.”
The tiny tar took another hitch at
hig sailor trousers, and spat scorn
fully.
Judge Wilbur decided Edward shall
be shipped back home on the Di
rector, another British tramp. Charles
he declared delinquent, but promised
if he behaves and keeps his job he
may stay in America. ‘
CARVING AROUND THE BRAIN
Prominent New York Woman Under
went a Most Delicate and Unusual
Operation.
Daltimore, Md.—Mrs. Adele Coilins,
said to be a well known matron in
New York society, is at the Johns
Hopkins hospital recovering after a
delicate and unusual surgical opera
tion performed by Harvey Cushing,
the brain specialist of the Hopking'
hospital.
For someo time Mrs. Collins had suf
fered from a dull feeling in her head,
causing severe pains. At times, it 1
said, she would lapse into a semi-stu
por and would sometimes remain in
this condition for days. Several New
Yotk physiclans and surgeons exam:-
ied Hon.but were unable to accurate
1y dlagnose her disaffection. ,
She was then advised to come te
Hopkins, where Doctor Cushing made
the examination by X-ray and decided
that there was a depression at the
base of the brain. What caused this
is not known, but it igs thought that
Mrs. Collins had sustalned a slight
blow on tho head, possibly several
years ago or when she was a child,
and this caused the obstruction to
form in her later life.
To reraove the foreign matter, whick
consgigted of a soft substance, it was
necessary to gradually cut it awsay.
While this is being done, the utmost
care had to be observed. At times it
was necessary for Doctor Cushing to
cut- within a thousandth part of an
inch from the brain. At these times
the slightest slip of the knife would
have instantly killed Mrs. Collins.
After more than filve hours, Doctor
Cushing bad complotely removed the
oppression.
Mrs. Collins is now reperted on the
road to recovery.

Grass and good livestock go to

other is almost certain to be. Tte
farmer from other sections is very
likely to cowment unfavorably on
the poor stock of the South and
the bare of brush and weedgrown
fields. Probably no other one
thing has done more t discourage
immigration from other sections
than has the endless stretch of
bare fields which the winter travel

Yet the cotton-farmer has to fight

from growing. Isn’t it time for a
