The draft Was given, duly returned, and not a 'word leaked out. "Three of the men to whom I shOWed the draft were news- paper men," said.

Sir James Simpson, who was con- nected with the medical department of Edinburgh university, if not actu- ally the discoverer of chloroform, was at any rate the first to introduce its employment as an sumesthetie into surgical practice. This was in 1848. Previously all operations were per- formed without anaesthetic, the pa- tient being drugged with whisky and held down by strong men while the operation was performed. No medical discovery ever did more to alleviate human suffering. Sir James is generally given credit for the actual discovery of chloroform but it is stated in some years pre- vious to his first experiments byeot American doctor named•Guthrie and by a French physician named Soub- erten. In any case, it was Dr. Simp- son who proved its great value as an anaesthetic, and the room in which he made his first experiments still exists in Edinburgh. The story goes that he tried the chloroform on himself and two med- ical friends. They proved its efficacy by simultaneously falling beneath the table. Sir James had considerable pre- judice to overcome before chloroform was adopted generally by the medical profession, it being deuounced at one time as dangerous to health, me •als and religion.-Pearson's Weekly. 4e* ANARCHY IN THE' SCHOOLS. (NeW York Sun.) There is no place so unfit for an an- arcblat, bolshevist, communist or other revelutionary radical as the desk of a public school teacher. The man or wo- man who holds red opinions and still draws pay from the State to educate the State's children must of necessity be of IoW moral character. If he -or 73he-teach the red doctrines, he is guilty of treason with the added dishonor of taking the State's money while undermining the State. If. he -or she -keeps silent and suppresses opinions really held, it is plain that the individual Is willing to sell out his -or her -con'' victions for cash. There is no third pos- sibility. As a matter of fact, what gen- erally happens is that direct teaching of subversive doctrines is cunningly avoided for the purpose of keeping within the letter of tho law and regularly drawing the salary that the State so liberally pays; but, at the same time, by insinua- tion, by the coloring of instruction, the minds of the pupils are led astray and their loyalty is undermined.

How Cannon Roared During Of. f ensive of Argonne: It was , night in France and the great Argonne offensive was on. The secion chiefs grew hoarie shouting their 'Commands, the gunner corporals manipulated their sights with speed and accuracy and the gun crews eagerly pelt fortk super/lateen efforts in serving their pieces Which, were being loaded and fired as nuisk- ly as possible. The terrifth detonations shook the forest which actually seem- ed like a live, throbbing, burning monster, who vomited fire and flaini and roared inhumanly with its ter- rible voice. Every man in the four gun crews was soon rendered temper- arily deaf. Lit up by the ghtsetly flashes from the fire of their oWn guns, they looked like veritable'devils, their faces gleaming with fiendish -joy as they leaped tato the pit to efhit the gun trail or sprang to the Wheels. at which they tugged and pulled with 'might and main. It was exceedingly tiresome work for the earnest lads.. The rate of fire was so rapid that it was necessary for them to pause oc- casionally in order to permit the in- tensely heated pieces to cool. It presented a thrilling scene to see, in the dim light a the early dawn, t1 stalwart lad, bareheaded, eyes heav'y and red from the burning powder gas, his square jaws grimly pet and shirt open at the throat, his arnis bare to the elbows and black with -grease, standing out there, swabbing out the steaming gun with the Slender ram - mer. A lanyard broke from too con - dant use on one of the guns. Not hesitating a Moment to repair it, the "No. 1" man simply used his fingera to draai back the "striker."
