Lets .Othrs .Haye .1 Quarts at $30 Each?Transfusion His Business. AltnougQ nereioiore must; ?uu u?>t given their blood to save relatives friends, and in some cases, unknown sufferers, have been considered heroes in the strictest sense of the term, the % practice of transfusion has at last become commercialized, says a New York special to the Washington Post. Joseph Wiley, a healthy, 22-year-olc specimen of manhood, has seen the money 10 be made by becoming a tranfusion hero, and is considering seriously the hanging of a sign from his door which will bear besides his name the following announcement: ?> <S <s> TRANFUSION EXPERT <?> <? <s> BLOOD FURNISHED IN ANY < <?> 3 QUANTITIES. * ^ <3 <S> RATES ON APPLICATION. <s <? Has Parted With Five Quarts. According to the speculative Mr Wiley he has fully established his claim ;o the ti le, "tranfusion expert,' for within a little more than four months he has allowed his blood to be transfused to the veins of sufferers five times. Each time he gave a o.uart of life-giving fluid. It was only yesterday afternoon :hat Wiley submitted to his fifth operation. Rarlipr in the dav he had seen an ad vertisement offering "good pay" if or "healthy young man who is willing to -&ave some blood transfused." He went jo the address given, 284 Riverton s.reet, where he learned that Mrs. Bessie Tink a young mother, was in the Lying-in Hospital, seriously in need of a quart ;of blood. By 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Wiley had been relieved of the required quantify and was ofi to the thea re to spend a small - -1 - <!

Wiley had just given up his position cf porter on December 28 of last year when he saw in a newspaper an advertisemen: for a transfusion "hero." He applied for the "job," and learned mat blood was needed to save the life of the 16-year-old son of William K. Maxwell, a lawyer, residing at 515 Park avenue. Wiley submitted to the operation, and within :he next two weeks was required to give 3 more quarts of his blood to the young suiferer. For this he received $120?$30 a quart. "It's easy money," explained Wiley today at his home, where he is "resting up" from his lates. operation, "and li-tlo woal-noac flint r-mnpc: the next day, the hurt when the doctor jabs the.needle into my arm, I do:i'i mind it at all. May Sell Head, Mother Fears. "I'm glad 13 help :hese poor sick people, and might do it for nothing? but doing something for nothing isn't much o'.? a business. Then, too, I need the money to help mom out." "Mom,' who cf cours, is his mother. Mrs. Nora Wiley, listened a tentively to her son's description of his exploits with a mingling of pride and anxiety m ner eyes. "I don't like Joe to be doing this dangerous thing," sche said. "But he's that wi)d?why, The next tiding 1 know some one will be advertising for a new ;iead and Joe'll sell his." > ^ A Unique Figure Passss. Greenville News. He held no public positions: he was no platform orator, nor did he hold any other position which ordinarily makes a man well known; but despile this, "Uncle Billy Smith "was a man who was known and liked by thousands. The people who are wont to travel between Greenville and Columbia remember this unique figure. They remember how he called the stations; the never failing praise of Williamston, the unmistakable pronunciation of "Pelzer;" they remem&pcrthat "this is Piedmont and nQt Belton. or Pelzeer." Often had the .i i. :; . .. . ? traveling public been warned to leave 4 no "babies, bundles or umbrellas," I m and if it was in cold weather, the i admoni ion included overcoats. Day after day did Capt. Billy Smith j I had under his charge the trains { ! which travel from this city to the | | captial of the Sta e. Day after day ! | he made his sam^ announcements. I J /\m/.

About two years ago he was retired. High cf- j . ficials of the road wrote him let ers : i i of commendation. Of these iie was always proud. But Captain Billy will not call the stations any more. He will never j again admonish us as to the places | * 10 alight and as to our personal ef- \ - - .. 11 fects. Having reacnea tne ripe age o? 75, this man, who had done his work so well, reached the end of tl~e 5 road. He has arrived at the City of j ' Rest, and will not make the return , 1 ;rip. | We all honor him, as we honor any man who does his work well, However lowly his position ma)- be the man who does his best is the , great man. Captain Billy's position was not lowly. His position was responsible. Thousands of lives have been in his care, and always he ! cared for them. The community is | ' | saddened at his dea:h, but is proud j ' j to think of this unsophisticated man i > who did his work as it came to hanrl s and who did it so well. > ^ j > Burning Charge Against Him. > Excnange. > An Irish soldier on sen ry duty had ; > orders to allow no one to smoke near ; > j his post.

The officcr, ) with a gestture of disgust, threw away {his cigar; but no sooner was his ; back turned than Pac picked it up and quietly re.ired to the sentry box. Tne officer, happening to look round, ,' observed a beautiful cloud of smoke 11 issuing from the box. He at once chal- i lenged Pat for smoking on duty. j "Smoking is it, sur?
