The Things That Other Boys Had and He Wanted and Couldn't Get—A Fat Man's Memory Deeply Stirred by a Pair of Sleeve Protectors. “The other day at a poultry market 1 saw a chicken butcher wearing a pair of those basket sleeve protectors, and | stood and laughed like a fool,” said the fat man, “First time I'd seen a pair of basket sleeve protectors for years, and so | just had to laugh. Tell you why. When 1 was a tike | used to look with wonder and awe upon a fellow who wore a pair of basket sleeve protectors. 1 cousidered that fellow with a pair of those things was all right, all right, plus some more. “They had a kind of jaunty air about ‘em that I couldn't and can’t de- fine, but it was there, and | revered and reverenced ‘em. [| made up my mind that if I ever grew up and got the price, me, too, for a pair of those basket sleeve protectors, no matter what sort of work I'd happen to tackle, “Queer dickenses, boys. eh? ’Mem- ber those patent pencil attachments ghat marketmen used to have—may have 'em yet—hitched to their aprons? Well, I thought those were pretty nifty things, too, and 1 used to secretly hanker to own one of ‘em. Made up my mind that I would own one of "em, too, when 1 got to be a man, but some- how 1 never seemed to want one when 1 reached the shaving age. “Guess some of my ambitions as a boy were pretty crazy anyhow. 1 was so jenious of the first boy | ever met that could spit through his teeth at a mark and hit it that I hated him. That same boy pretty early in life got a job driving a delivery wagon for a grocery. Well, pretty soon after he got that job he was wearing a pair of those patent elastic sleeve supporters, or holders, or whatever you'd call 'em—things with a clutch at either end that pulled the cnff back from the wrist. This boy's pair of those things were pink elastic, and how he used to flaunt ‘em before my eyes! “He knew blamed weil that those pink elastic sleeve supporters looked finer to me than any Star of India or Victoria Cross could possibly look. and he knew besides that because 1 bad to go to school and wasn't earning any- thing there wasn't a possible chance on earth for me to get a pair like 'em— and so he just held ‘em over me and made my life miserable,” Yet when | got to the wage earning age 1 never seemed to care at all for a pair of pink elastic sleeve supporters. “Another boy that I hated bad a maroon colored cardigan jacket. That was before the day of sweaters. This hated boy wore the cardigan jacket beneath his regular outer coat and so he didn’t have to wear any overcoat. That, 1 considered, was a gorgeous blessing—not to have to wear an over- coat to school. 1 despised this boy for having it on me that way. Anyhow, his maroon colored cardigan jacket had a couple of pockets in front that he kept fuil of all kinds of junk—some- times he even carried mice to school in ‘em. And that made my indignation all the greater—the fact that he bad those two fine covered up pockets to his cardigan jacket, “One great triumph did come to my tike life, though, and that was the fact that 1 was the first boy of my school to own a pair of copper toed boots. Well, 1 sprang the first pair, as I say, at my school, and 1 guess I didn’t break the hearts of all the other boys or nothin’! Besides the copper toes, these boots had red tops, with a silver star and crescent stamped on the red tops, and that made the blow all the more fright. fui to the other lads that had to see me stalking around in those boots. After awhile, though, nearly all of the other youngsters showed up with cop- per toed boots and thus took the wind out of my sails. “We never see boys wearing peaked caps any more—notice? 1 don't mean these dinky little cloth caps with peaks to 'em, but regular soldiers’ caps with glazed peaks. First boy that turned up in our neighborhood with one of those things on made a sensation, all right. This same boy had got hold of a carpenter's pencil somewhere, and he'd stick that carpenter's pencil un- derneath his forage cap, with the sharpened end projecting in a mighty ¥ YOU WISH TO BECOME. regard him as some pumpkins. I was always crazy for a carpenter's pencil when 1 was a boy. but | never got hold of one—never did have much luck when | was a boy anyhow. My folks were too blamed respectable. “As a matter of fact—you can believe it or not. but I'm telling you the truth —they wouldn't let me at the age of ten apply for the job of brakeman on a passenger train. That. | thought. was the finest job in the world—brake- man on a passenger train—just swing- ing a red lantern all the time, and wearing a peaked cap mostly on the left ear. and the peak pushed back so as to show an oiled hang plastered down. and sitting on a wood hox in the smoker talking to fellers. and car- ryine a pair of red fags aronnd every- whee, amd atl that. But the main ap peal of the brakeman's job was the pair of red lanterns. “Oh. well, that pair of basket sleeve protectors that | saw at the poultry market the other day certainly car ried me back a long way, and 1 was still laughing like a fool when 1 stroll ed away.”—Charleston News and Con- rier. OLD TIME SURGERY. The Barbarous Methods of the Six- teenth Century. Ambroise Pare, a barber surgeon of the sixteenth century, tells in his notes how in 1337 he went to the long wars to get practice in surgery. He invent- ed fome new processes, particularly in the treatment of amputated limbs. Up to Pare’s time the most barba- rous means had been used to stop the bleeding. In his own words: “So soon as the limb was removed the surgeons would use many cauteries to stop the flow of blood, a thing very horrible and cruel in the mere telling. And truly of six thus cruelly treated scarce two ever escaped, and even these were long ill, and the wounds thus burned were slow to heal, because the burning caused such vehement pains that they fell into fever, convulsions and other mortal acecldents. In most of them, moreover, when the scar fell off there came fresh bleeding. which must again be stanched with the cauteries. So that for many healing was impossible, and they had an ulcer to the end of their lives, which prevented them from having an artificial limb.” The idea of abolishing such cruelty by using the ligature occurred to Pare fn ong of his war journeys, and his success went beyond his own expecta- tious. [lis other discovery was wade within a few hours of his joining the army. It was believed by the surgeons of the day that there was poison in a gunshot wound, and one of the accepi- ed authorities insisted that they must Colleges & Schools. be cauterized “with oil of elders seald- i ing hot, mixed with a little treacle.” The pain was intolerable. It happened that at his first treatinent of gunshot wounds Pare's oil ran short, and he used instead “a digestive made of the | yolks of eggs, oll of roses and turpen- ! tine.” ‘To his surprise he found next { morning that the patients he bad tbus | treated were in better condition than | the others. “Then 1 resolved never more to burn thus cruelly poor men with gunshot wounds.” Newton's Fearful Crime. At the end of a meal at Haydon's house Keats proposed a toast in these terms: “Dishonor to the memory of Newton.” The guests stared at him in question- Ing surprise, and Wordsworth asked for an explanation. “It 1s.” answered Keats, “because he destroyed the poetry of the rainbow by reducing it to a prism.” And the art- {sts all drank, with one consent, ron- *n the savant.

My father was twenty-four at the dne of enlisting and as handsome a young fellow as could be found any- where. His free colonial @ife had developed his strength and prowess to an ex- peaordinary degree. lle was a verita- tle American horse lad, a cowboy. His ekill with gun and pistol was the envy of St. Georges and Junot, and his muscular strength became a proverb in the army. More than once he amused himself in the riding school by passing under a beam, grasping it with his arins and lifting his horse between his legs. I have seen him do it, and I recollect my childish amusement when 1 saw him carry two men standing room with these two men on bim. I saw him once in a rage take a branch of considerable toughness in both his hands and break it between them by turning one hand to the right and the other to the left. A few years later the gallant hussar was a brigadier general and perform- ing feats of valor which earned him | the title of “the Horatius Cocles of | the Tyrol” Best of all we like the ! son's description of Horatius' storm- | ing of Mont Cenis: “The climbers reached the plateau. Although it was a dark night, the long line of soldiers, clothed in blue uniforms, could have been perceived outlined against the snow from the fort. But my father had foreseen this contingency; each man had a cotton cap aud a shirt rolled up in his knap- sack. This was the ordinary dress my father adopted at night when he hunted chamois. They reached the foot of the palisades without having roused a single chal lenge. ‘The men began climbing the palisades as soon as they reached them: but, thanks to my father’s her- culean strength, he thought of a better and quieter way—namely, to take each over the palisades, The snow would break the fall and also deaden the noise. Surprised out of their sleep and seeing (he French soldiers in their midst without knowing how they had come there, the Pledmontese hardly offered any resistance. — From “My { Memoirs,” by Alexandre Dumas, Trans- lated by E.
