HIS MISERY AND TRIUMPHS.
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

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

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.

Marvelcus Strength of the Father of
Alexandre Dumas.
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

lated by E. M. Waller.
