Governoc- Whitman is inclined to favor a state constabulary, because members of, it would take the place of-inspectors and other jmaplqyes^f various state departments, resulting in a decrease in the cost of conduct­ing several departments now being criticized by the governor for having too many jobs.

This practice is followed in Pennsyl-vania.

BURIED HAND ITCHED

Loser Then Dug It Up, Straightened Fingers and Had Relief.

Georgetown, Del., Jan. 6.—Suffering intense pains in a hand which had been amputated and buried, Lewis Jefferson of Blades had no relief until the hand was uncovered and the fin­gers straightened out, since when he has felt no more pain.

. The strange story is vouched for by Jefferson himself, who had his hand cut off by a circular saw at the Allen'mills several weeks ago. Dur­ing the past week he has been suffer­ing with severe pains and with an itching sensation In what would have been the palm of his hand.

Unrelieved by physicians, the young man acted on the advice of friends and dug up the amputated hand, which had been burled for..nearly six weeks. The fingers of the hand were found in a cramped position. After straight­ening out the fingers and weighting them so that they could not again double up, the hand was re-burled. All pain left Jefferson at once, and he claims that he has suffered no incon-. Venience since.
