FREHI9TORIC PUEBLO SURGERY.
Among the interesting relics of a
lost civilization recently brought to
light at the Pueblo ruin at Aztec,
New Mexico, where the American Museum
of Natural History of New York
is making excavations, is the skeleton
of a twenty-years old girl from
^ bearing the evidences of a terrible
injury and of primitive treatment.
Earl H. Marria, in charge of the excavation,
states that the remains,
found on a floor in the ruin had been
wrapt in three layers of material;, the
4 first, an excellently woven cotton
cloth; the second, a mantle of feather
cloth; and the third, a mat of
i plaited rushes. The left hip was badi
ly fractured, a portion of it having
been broken away. In the neighbor^rncriAno

and dislocations. In addition, the left
forearm showed two breaks and extreme
displacement. Mr. Moorris is
thus quoted in a press bulletin issued
b ythe Museum (August:)
"An least six splints surrounded the
broken arms. The top two of these
were removed to give a better view
of the region beneath. Since it is
to be assumed that there are two
or three more splints hidden by the
undisturbed earth beneath the bones,
the probable total number is eight
or nine. These splints are of woods,
and average seven inches in length,
one-half inch in width, and threesixteenths
of an inch in thickness.
They are of fairly uniform size
throughout their length, being not
mere splinters, but pieces of wood
drest to the desired form. Each is
^ flat on its inner surface and curved
on the outer side. All the bindings
^ which had held them in place were
decayed beyond recognition.
"From the condition of this skeleton
the conclusion may be drawn
Sat the treatment of the fracture of
e pelvis, if it was recognized at all,
was beyond the skill of the primitive
surgeon. The treatment of the brok?
i ?uuv., ?
en arm, nowever, w?? wuum mo
province. As death resulted before
sufficient time had elapsed to permit
healing to begin, the skill of the surgeon
must remain in doubt
"Desirable as it would be to know
definitely whether or not there was
an attempt to place the ends of the
bones in apposition, in order that an
estimate might be made of the skill
of the surgeon, uncertainty in regard
to this point does not detract from
the major fact established, namely,
that the Pueblo practitioner of the
Stone Age had already learned to use
splints in the treatment of fracture."

Rev. W. B. S. Chandler returned
Friday from Rock Hill after attending
the Bell-McLaurin wedding
there.
PRIZES GIVEN AWAY WITH
WIVES IN LITHUANIA. J
Getting a wife in Lithuania is lots
of fun. It is also worth while from
a business point of view, for the
bride's father must give up a fistful
of rubbles with the apple of his eye,
and the husband may lay his hand '
on anything he sees and likes when
he takes the girl to his own home.
Yes, as a woman writing in the London
Times agrees, it's lots of fun for
everybody?except the old man. He,
it seems, has to fork up everything
in sight and smile as he does it.
When this Englishwoman in Kovno
was asked by her husband's soldierIservant,
Charles (born in America,
and proud of it,) if she woul like to
attend the wedding, she said she '
would. It was suggested that she bori
row a motor-car for the trip, and
j quite casually she was told that the
ceremony and festivities would last
five days. She gasped, but caught her
breath again. And Charles said:
"Surely. On Saturday night is the
first dance. My brother and his q1
friends dance all night at my father's tl
house. His girl and her friends dance ^
at her father's. Then after the wed- t(
ding we all go to the bride's fath- 8<
er's house and dance and sing, eat j)
and drink until Tuesday; then they c]
come to our house and dance, etc., ^
until Thursday, and then they go to q
their home." ' It
I thought it was about time. C(
We started off at the appointed
time for Ezno. With me I took a sack- t(
ful of white bread, which Charles in-<jr
formed me was the best offering Ijc
could give. During the journey Char-|Q
les instructed me on what I should >jg
do and what I should not do. Also N
he told me about the betrothal cer-!^
emony. |
I asked if the young man spoke
first to the father. Charles was hor-l^
rifled. "The man must not speak one|W
word to the father until the money i
is fLxt.'? "Money?" "Of course. The|g(
girl's father has to pay my brother;^'
money." '
"The young man who falls in l?vel0]
and wishes to be married," 'contin-j .
ued Charles, "chooses an old married
man (every man who iB mar- ^
ried is old;) to go with him to see D
the girl's father. Dame (Jonas's ^
girl) lives close to our house. Well, e;
at about ten o'clock one night Jonas | J
the towels round their necks andj^
went home. Next day, Jonas went to's.
see his girl and they arranged allijj
about the wedding. |S(
We soon arrrived at Ezno. A large w
hill stood at the back of Charle's q
father's farm. I climbed it during my o
visit and saw the Polish frontier in e'
the distance. Our car stopped in a
front of a small house, that of Eva, la
Charles's sister. Soon we had a crowd tl
round us. Many of them had never d
seen an Englishwoman in their lives, ai
and I was much amused at hearing fi
myself and clothing fully discussed, a
Soon it was time for us to go to old h
Mr. G 's (Charles's father's) a
house. I was anxious to call at the a
bride's house, but this was not allowed,
as I was a friend of the bridegroom's
family. The houses stood
near each other, and from each could
could be heard the singing, shouting, s<
and music in the other. Mr. G d
received me with great ceremony; he it
J V. ViO whito hrp?d IT

I had brought. I was led to the table u
and made to eat and drink, and then \
I hid myself in a corner by the stove, r
and watched them dancing the old e
country dances and playing country 51
games until one o'clock, when I slip- E
ped away to Eva's house and went s<
to bed. S
This was the program on Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday i'
nights, also during the days, with T
frequent intervals for refreshments. F
When any one felt tired he just sat
down by a table, leaned his head on d
it, and slept, or even lay on the floor Ii
quite unconscious of the din about I a
was bitterly disappointed next morn'^.g
to find I was not allowed to go
to church. The' bridegroom chooses
one old man (i. e., married; in Jonas' A
case an uncle aged twenty-five) and 5
6even young men. Jonas rode vith e
these to Dame''s. I was allowed to go p
with them, so I saw all the show. s,

and walked straight in. We never ..
knock at doors in Lithuania. They ?
had taken two bottles of vodka with n
them. They went to the table in the
center of the room and sat down at ^
it. Then Jonas's friend said to the _
father. 'Have you any hens to sell?" .
land the old man said, 'No.' The friend e
said, 'Soon your hen will be too old
and no one will want to buy her.'
When the father saw the vodka he
said 'Yes.' | ?
"Still Jonas must not speak, al- J5'
though he saw Dame peeping from
behind the stove; an dbe and she had m
an understanding all by themselves. ir
The friend then asked how much tc
j money the father would give, and jr
1 the father said 'None.' And so they
(talked for some time. Then Dame's (father
said, 'I will give five thousand
rubbles.' (Charles said this with (
much pride, as the sum, it appears, g.
was large.) The friend bowed, and yi
then Jonas could speak." (Whic'i he ^
did fast enough, I'm sure!)
"Dame's mother came with a sauce-|ic
pan and broke eggs into it and cook-1 ^
ed them and set them with bread up- n
on the table. To the friend she said (
(not to Jonas, who had paid for the st
vodka,) 'My eggs and bread and your gi

We found the bride seated by a.
ible looking very solemn and sad.
he was dressed in white, with a longl
eil and a wreath of myrtle, round
er were grouped seven young girls
ad one old lady (a mischevious- '
joking girl not much older than '
erself.) Her father and mother sat
ear Dame, and all their friends
looking none the worse for their
renuous nights' enjoyment) were <
athered round. Jonas and his fol- i
>wers (Charles was among them)
atered and walked up to Dame. t
"Come," he said. She flung herself
eeping at her father's feet, in such a
assion of tears that I thought her .
eart would break. "Poor girl," I
lid to myself; "they are forcing her uo
this marriage." I felt bitterly |
jrry for her and also for Jonas, but
hen I glanced at him he seemed |
uite unmoved. The weeping is part
f the ceremony. Dame, and indeed
yery Lithuanian bride, would earn
fortune on the stage. The "elderly'' ;
idy friend and the seven young ones
len led the bride to the waiting
roshkies outside, and they and Jon- i
3, his one "old" and seven young
riends, all drove off to the church, i

Electorial Votes to
mt of White House
At 11:15 o'clock, Eastern time,
with the West and Middle West still
scarcely heard from, the Harding
landslide In the EaBt was continuing
with gathering momentum.
At the rate the Harding column
was growing at that hour, the Republican
plurality in the state of New
york would be around the unprecelented
figure of more than a million.
New York city, normally Democratic,
was going for Harding by at
least half a million. The governorship
fight continued close with Republican
managers claiming the defeat
of Governor Smith.
Pennsylvania returns at that hour
3howed Harding leading Cox three to
Dne and Senator Penrose elected.
MaaaauiiuaeiLa n aa yiuuiiaiu& naiiing
the greatest plurality ever given
i presidential candidate in that state.
Boston had gone for a Republican
for the second time in its history,
ind had given Harding a greater lead
over Cox than it gave McKinley over|
Bryan in 1896. Returns from half of,
Vermont gave Harding a three to one,
lery over Cox. Hughes beat Wilson
Lw^to one there in 1916.
In the home district of Charles F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall,
Harding beat Cox 2 to 1. Maine reported
Harding leading Cox by the
largest plurality ever given to a presidential
candidate, Ohio, one-fifth
complete, showed a growing vote for
Harding.
Harding carried two wards in the
city of Atlanta, Ga., and two parishes
in the Louisiana sugar belt, both
Democratic territories.
In the New York senatorial race,
Senator Wadsworth was leading his
Democratic opponent, Lieutenant
Governor Walker. Senator Brandegee
Df Connecticut and Moses of New
Hampshire, opponents of the league J
of neations, both seemed certain of:
re-election.
The late closing of polls in the
Western Btates, the difference in time
long ballots and a greatly increased
vote, were the cause of the late returns
from the West.
