THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, MAY I, 1«91.
Tli«* Only Caw on Record.
A curious surgical case is thzt pre
sented by Henry Breen, of Fort Wayne.
He suffers from aneurism of the orbit
and his is the only case of the kind re
ported by physicians. He has received
many letters inviting him to appear be
fore medical colleges, so they can exain-
ime and study aneurism of the orbit, but
as ho fears that the blood vessel back of
the orbit may burst at any momeut and
thus end his life he lias preferred to re
main under the care of surgeons at home.
Breen was a brakeman on the Wabash
railroad, and while engaged in coupling
cars at Cecil, O., he was caught between
the steps of the caboose and the end of a
saw log which extended over a flat car,
and his skull was fractured. After a long
and painful illness he rallied sufficiently
to walk about, but it was found that
the cords of the left eye were paralyzed
and refused to perform their natural
functions. The affliction grew worse
and Mr. Breen went to Springfield, Ills.,
where the Illinois surgeons were holding
their annoal convention. He was ex
amined by 173 surgeons, who pronounced
his case “aneurism of the eye,
only one on record.
He was put under the influence of
opiates and an iron collar was placed
about bis neck, to which was attached h
thumb screw which was pressed over
the orbit to stop the rush of blood. He
was thus kept for forty-eight hours, but
his case was pronounced incurable. He
is now at his home in Fort Wayne.
Breen is a man of strong muscular de
velopment. and would appear to have
more than the average man’s chances for
longevity. He is not disposed to be
melancholy over his condition, and says
that he may ontlive the entire Spring-
field convention. At any rate, he has the
strange distinction of being the only man
alive who wears a collar innde at a black
smith shop.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat
Boys Worry m Chestnut Vender.
The life of the chestnut and peanut
vender is a hard one, especially when
the street arabs of tough bat tender
years band together and swoop npon
him in serried array and compact sally.
A specimen of the “lately landed” order
stood before his caldron wanning his
five digits and nursing the glowing
chestnut when a band of young urchins
sallied by. One gave a quick kick at the
stand as they passed, which made it tot
ter. The Italian in charge mado an ef
fort to save it, bat it went sprawling,
tossing ont the lascioas nuts upon the
street This was the grand strategic
effect songht for by the urchins, as it
put the vender in a hesitating position.
If he chased the boys he left the
stand, and if he went to the Rtand he
left the nuts. The vender hesitated a
moment, and the little band of young
arabs waited to see what ho would do,
prepared to scatter into complete indefi
niteness. The vender chose to look
to his stand, and his doing so was
a signal to the youngsters. Like crows
to the prey they swooped down upon the
nuts in triumph, and with bowls and
hoots filled their pockets to the full, pay
ing little heed to the forceful ejacula
tions of the vender.—New York Times.
ft I* Hard in Want** It.
Some advertisers nave an idea that
only copies going-to paid np subscriber;
are useful to them. This is not quite so.
For example, suppose a journal has 25,-
000 actual subscribers to whom tho
paper goes regularly. Sujqmse it prints
5,000 extra copies a week, which are sent
as specimens to good parties, whose ad
dresses are supplied by its agents and
readers, and mails 5,000 one week to one
set of persons, the next week to anothei
set of 5.000 and so on. In this way *?60.-
000 extra persons are reached .during the
year, while If the extra 5.000 were sent
every week to 5.000 paying subscribers
only that number could Ik* reached. In
the former case 285.000 [tenons are
reached. In the latter case only 30,000
all told. A person receiving a copy of a
journal which he has not teen liefore,
with a request to examine it. will tisoally
look all through it, advertisements and
all. Such a coarse is as useful to the
yearly advertiser os if his card yrere sent
to the whole 285,000 persons, or even
more so. for his single loose card receives
far less attention than would be found
and the j„ the columns of a reputable journal

A Common Sense View.
Nearly every business has its “dull
season." during which a good advertise
ment will do faithful work day and
night, rain or shine, in familiarizing
consumers with the name, location anf
specialties or advantages of the adver
tiser, so that when the time to bay comes
he reaps the benefit of his seed sowing.
—Azro Goff's Circular.
A Deer on the Track.
While extra train No. 071 was coming
east Sunday afternoon a few miles east
of Mast Hope. on the Delaware division,
Engineer Edward Taylor espied a largo
deer descending the almost perpendicu
lar bluff on the north side of the track.
The deer reached the track a few yards
in advance of the engine, and thoee on
the engine expected to see it ran down,
but instead it started down the track in
advance of the train for a distance of a
quarter ot a mile, and then bounded
down the bank toward the river. The
mta oa the engine nv the deer until
the train went ont of sight It was a
back with five prongs, and must have
weighed in the neighborhood of C00
pounds. It seemed to be greatly fa
tigued, and was probably started np by
a party of h on ten in the heavy woods
back of Hast Hope. Taylor and his
firemanconfidently expected to haves
saddle of venison for their Thanksgiving
dinner.—Port Jervis (N. Y.) Gazette.
The Farm Tools,
It would seem as If, after years of good
counsel on the subject some farmer!
would at least take the hint and look af.
ter the farm tools—particularly after the
season's work is done; bnt it will require
a good deal of preaching from the text
before “conversion" is accomplished. So
one would think who rides far in almost
any direction this time of tho year.
Mowers and horse rakes still pnt in the
fields, plows astride a rail fence, barrows
leaning np against trees—these are some
of the not uncommon objects which one
may see on some forms. Get them in,
give a coat of paint where needed, and
save dollars.—Independent.
II All Take. Time.
Don't be prejudiced. Because at one
time yon put a short local in your town
newspaper for one week, and "car
tooned" all the fence boards in the vicin
ity, don't give up, get discouraged nnc'
say that you have tried advertising, re
solved that it didn't pay and decided not
to do any more of it.—Warren (Ills.)
Sentinel.
Iv.poct Good I let urns.
Give your "ads” n sangnine, optimistic
hue. Convey, in a subtle but unmistak
able way. the impression that yon ex-
peel success, and the results will tnneb
more surely come. Never advertise your
donbts or fears.
Nothing except the mint can make
money without advertising.—Gladstone.
