"Alfred, I do wish you and Laura could be frieniLt. You are both no dear to me !" Mis Southwell's voice was a little tremulous. She was over G3, a slim, fragile-looking woman. Her face re minded you of a w hite roue that has lout its early frevhneM, but him a delicate loveliness- lingering about it still. True, its lines indicated more sweetness than strength of character, but the expres sion was so good, so pure, you felt in stinctively she was one to be loved and trusted. In the falr-complexioned hand.-euue face of the young man beside her, there wad not one tell-tale line of weakness. The hazel eyes looked down affection ately into his aunt's, but his voice, though good humored, kept its decided ring as he replied : "But, dear Aunt Letty, what am I to do? There's no getting along with Laura unless you give up to her in everything, and I ain not disposed to make myself a slave to the little lady." "I feared we have petted and spoiled her among us " Auut Letty broke off with a sigh. "Yes, that's just the trouble Aunty. You are so sweet-tempered you can't hear to find fault with anybody, and Uncle Arthur is just like you. I let ween you both, you've made a perfect little despot of Laura. It's too bad, for the girl is naturally a frank, generous, warm hearted creature. But oome, Aunty, you ought to box my ear for an impertinent young puppy, as I am. I was always a great hand to preach, you know." "Yes ; but I'm afraid there's a great deal of truth iu what what you've said, Alfred," in an anxious tone. "You wou't let the foolish child drive you away?" Alfred gave a good-humored laugh. "Aunty, do you think I take it so much to heart as that? No, no; Laura's lit tle airs and tempers are rat he rain using than otherwise. Ouly I hate to see her growing up into an uuamiable wom an " A sharp tap at the door interrupted him. 'Without waiting for an answer liis cousin pushed it opeu and marched iu. You could scarcely fiud a more Uau tiful little face than Laura s aud per haps it looked all the prettier for the flush of nger that crimsoned it just then. She threw up her head with the air of a spoiled princess, as she said, fixing her eyes on her cousin : "As the door happened to be ajar, sin I had the pleasure of hearing your last sentence. I see you've added back biting to your other amiable qualities, but I think you might be better em ployed than in trying to set my aunt against me, for I'm the same as an only child to her, I'm sure." Alfred's cheek reddened, but he said, facing her with an unmoved front: "You were perfectly welcome to hear every word- As for your insulting re mark aliout me, I think you owe me an apology, though I've not the slight est expectation of receiving one." The young gentleman marched wrathfully out, while Laura looked af ter him with a mixture of resentment aud triumph. "I've actually made his highness an gry. Well that's something, anyway. It' so provoking, the oh1, smiling way iu which he'll sit and look at me when he's worked me into a perfect rage." "Laura !" said her aunt with un wonted sharpness, "how can you treat your cousin so?, I'm afraid what he says is true, that we've spoiled you among us. Aud he did justice to your good qualities I'm sure. He thinks you are frank, and generous and warm hearted." Something trofter than anger spark led in Laura's saucy black eyes for a moment, but forcing back the tell-tale drops, she flung her arms around Miss Southwell's neck. "You sweetest aun ty, I'm so thankful you and dear uncle brought me up instead of a tyrant like Mr. Alfred Hillier. Don't call him ray cousin ; he's three degrees removed I'm sure, aud I won't own him for a relation. But come now; cheer up aud get dressed aa quick as you can, or you won't be ready to receive the com pany." "You had better run and dress your self, little lady; it's more your com pany than mine." "Dress? Yes, I'll try and look my prettiest," thought Laura, as she skip ped away, "and I'll flirt a little with Mr. Palmer, too. That Alfred despied him so ; I'll do it just to provoke him." Laura's room was next to Alfred's, and after her toilet was completed she could not help putting her bead out to see if she could catch a glimpse of her enemy. Yea, he was gazing out, too, set ESTABLISHED 1827. and their eyes met She vanished, but soon reappeared, flourishing a stick on which she had tied a piece of black silk. "Mr. Hillier V she called out "Miss Laura !" responded the young gentleman, with a smile of provoking coolness. "Do you see this flag?"' waving It proudly. "This means 'war to the knife' from this hour between you and me." "As you please," said' Alfred serene ly. "But let us keep up at least the semblance of civilized warfare before the others." "Very good," said Laura, retiring with a final wave, while Alfred laugh ed quietly to himself. Early the next morning Laura stood in the garden waiting for her aunt. The horse was harnessed, waiting to take them to the village where Miss Southwell did all her marketing. She had been trying for some weeks to in doctrinate Laura into its' mysteries, and the young lady proved herself an apt scholar. The old-fashioned, pleasant house which Mfc Southwell and ller brother had occupied some thirty years stood ou a hill in the outskirts of the village. The grounds were tastefully laid out, the mountain air delicious and invig orating. There could not he a more glorious morning than this, yet the expression of trouble ou Laura's pretty face show ed that her mood was not in harmony with the day. "So provoking," she muttered, "that I should have lost my temper that way! But it was bad enough to have my ball croqueted 'way to the ends of the earth without his looking so pleased over it. "Sphie Higley, too, 'crowing over Mr. Palmer and me as she did ! It was real unladylike. And to think of her whispering to Mary Shaw that I was 'a little stinging cockatrice V I can never get over that." At that moment Maria, one of their servants, came running down the piaz za steps. She Jooketi so frightened that Laura's heart leaped to her mouth. "Oh, Miss Laura, your aunt's hurt her ankle bad, and I'm nior-t 'fraid it's broke. She was half-way down the stairs when she fell, and her whole weight come ou it" But Laura was in the house by this time. She found her aunt in her room, a front chamber opposite the stairs down which the had fallen. Miss Southwell lay on the lounge, looking very pale, but composed, and said in a soothing tone to Laura, "Dou't be frightened child ; my ankle's not broken, only badly sprained. Ivaty's drawing me some hot water to shower it witlu And now, dear, as your uncle is away, I leel" that you and Alfred must le my main dependence." "You and Alfred." It seemed an odd conjunction. But Laura only murmur ed as she laid her cheek against Miss Southwell's, "What can we do for you dearest aunty." Aunt Letty kissed the girl affection ately. "Our friends from New York will be here this afternoon, as you know, and I am sure they will spend at least a week with us. Judging from past experience, I fear I shall be laid up some time with this sprain. Now, Laura, you have proved yourself such a capable li'tle housekeeper on one or two occasions that I feci I can trust you even with comjiany in the house. And then our girls are so capable" with a smile at Katy, who came in just then with the hot water. "Bless you ma'am, we'll do beauti ful," said Katy, "though it's sorry I am to see you laid up." "Well, Laura, I waut you to go to market the first thing. Your cousin will drive you over, I know. Don't be afraid to call upon him for anything. I've always found him kind and oblig ing. And then he has such gtiod judg ment. Here is the list of things I want you to order." Whatever misgivings Laura felt, she did not make them known. "I'll do just w hat you tell me, aunty," she said, with unwonted docility. "Now, please attend to that poor ankle right away. Shan't we stop at the doctor's and ask him to come around?" "No, no; I'm an old hand at sprains, and can treat it oetter myself. "Well, dou't worry, precious aunty, for we'll all do our very best," said Laura. But as she descended the stairs she felt Ivtlf afraid, half rebellious. "I bate to ak him," she murmured to herself. "How did he treat me last night, and this morning, too! Why, he would scarcely look at me." Yet in her heart there was a secret longing to be friends with her cousin. She was too proud to apologize, but an idea struck her just then. Her face broke into a smile, as, taking out her handkerchief, she tied it to the handle of her parasol. "My flag of truce," she said, giving it a fltsjrish. "I shall ask for a suspen sion of hostilities till uncle gets back. Hastening her steps, she tripped off in the direction of the arbor where her cousin was wout to smoke his morning cigar. Yes, there he was, enjoying that mas culine luxury and the newspaper to gether. Laura slackened her gait now, as she approached, waving her "white flag" slowly. Alfred looked up, and his face relax ed into a smile. "Well?" he asked glancing humorously at the handker chief. "It's a flag of truce," said Laura, sol emnly. "I've come to request of my honorable enemy suspension of hostili ties for twenty-four hours. "Agreed," said Alfred, rising and speaking with such cordial good hu mor that Laura felt her heart immense ly lightened. "But may I ask the rea son for this move on my fair enemy's part?" "Oh, it's a shame to joke w hen poor auuty has hurt herself so !" said Laura, with a sudden change of tone. "She's sprained her ankle badly, just when she's expecting company, too. Uncle won't be back till to-morrow, and she feels she must depend upon you and me, aud so I thought we might" '-Clasp hands temporarily over the bloody chasm," broke in Alfred. "Well I agree to It heartily, and you may command my services at any time. I am sorry Aunt Lettie has hurt herself, and if you'll excuse me for five minutes I'll run up and see her." t "Well, you are a real good natured boy, after all," thought Laura, as he walked away. "And now I understand we are go ing to market?" said Alfred, gayly, as he returned. "Yes, I believe that's the first thing ou the program," returned his cousin. They started off together, I .aura very ltappy, though a tritle embarrasHed. It seemed strange to be on such pleas ant terms with her enemy. Itut this feeling soon wore away. The ride in the mountain air was de lightful, and ere long she found herself talking with Alfred aa she had never talked before. He was an uncommonly intelligent young fellow and a good student, but not in the least absent-minded. Noth lug seemed to escape his observation, aud with it all he was so full of fun and boyish spirits, Laura found him a most agreeable companion, aud he, on his part, saw her in a new light, and be gan to feel decidedly cousinly aud affec tionate. Always bright and artless. she was this morning really amiable. Only once did a little sarcastic remark escape her, whereapon Alfred, without a word, printed smilingly to the hand kerchief still tied to the parasol that lay across her lap. A bright color rose iu Laura's cheeks but she looked up sweetly and frankly into his face and said : "Please forgive me, I had no right to fire that shot, but I did it from force of habit." She turned away her head immedi ately, but Alfred's keen eyes noticed the slight quiver of her lip, and that she had to wink hard to keep the tears back. He changed the conversation at once, and they were soon chatting gay ly again. That evening about a dozen young people were gathered in Miss South well's pleasant parlors. Miss Higley had arrived early with her two cousins, and shortly after two or three other friends dropped in, for Miss Southwell's bouse was very popu lar w ith the young people. I .aura, sorry as she felt for her aunt, had found 1 terse if indeed "a capable little housekeeper." Then Alfred had been so kind, so good, so efllcieiiL He was always on haud to assist her, and to help entertain the company, which none could do better than he. The evening passed pleasantly away, while they played games, sang aud danced by turns. Miss Higley, who admired Alfred in tensely, and who had allowed herself, in spite o' the difference in their ages, to entertain hopes in that direction, marked with displeasure how friendly he aud his fair cousin had become. Toward the close of the evening they danced together, and her eyes followed them malignantly as, the dance over, they retreated to a corner of the room and seemed absorbed in conversation. 'They are polite to desert their com pany that way !" she said to her cousin, Ueorge Lane. "Why, they've been doing their best to entertain us all the evening, and the company seems happy enough, I'm sure," said good-natured (teorge, glanc ing around him. " 'Every Jack has his Jit, and nobody looks neglected. Why shouldn't they have a little friendly chat together?" Meantime Laura is saying with a sigh : 'We had a telegram from uncle he will be home to-night." "Are you sorry?" asked Alfred, with a kindly twinkle in his eyes. "Not sorry to see uncle, but well, on the whole, I thiuk I prefer peace to war and should be really sorry to have hos tilities commence again," replied Lau ra glaucing up with a roguish but wist ful look. "Well, is it necessary to resume the campaign T' sail Her cousin, Kiimiy. "I find the present atmosphere very re freshing, myself. Suppose we swear a perpetual peace?" Laura tries to laugh, but the bright eyes are fall or tears, ana her voice trembles as she answers : 'Cousin Alfred, you are so kind, you give me courage to do what I have long ed to do all day ap ilogiz? fir my bad ness, and promis3 to 'try and bj g.vxT. from this time." His fair enemy had surrendered at last, unconditionally; Jjut if Alfred felt any masculine triumph, he did not be tray it by word or look. "We'll both start again," he said, heartily, taking the little hand in his large grasp for a mortent. "For my self, I feel I've been a dictatorial, over bearing sort of a fellow, and I want to ak your pardon in my turn. And now may I ask as a great fav r that you'll give me that blessed little flag of truce? I want it for a memento of this auspic ious day." "I'll give you half of it with pleas ure," said Laura, with a musical little laugh. "But I'd like to have half of it myself to remind me always to 'keep the peace.' " Miss Higley, who, whib pretending to talk with her cousin, had been watch ing the couple furtively, now said in a sharp tone : "Well, they really seem almost 'spooney' ; and to thiuk how they've been sparring ever since he came George, do you think you see any signs of well, you know what I mean over there ?" "Well," said George, his shrewd face breaking into a kiudly smile, "I'm not a great judge of xich matters, aud I dou't like to jump at conclusions ; but, judging front appearances, I should say there were signs not only of solid peace but of a life-loug uuion between the two belligerents."

Five Hundred of Them Listen ta an Address in Response to the Words of Their Spokesman -Supreme Duty and Responsibity of the Republican Party. Canton, O., July Five hundred of the delegates tif workmen to the eighth National Convention of Win- dowglass Workers of America, at Pitts burg, came to Canton to-day, arriving here at 11-W o'clock this morning by special train. Their coming brought out thousands, who gathered about the McKinley home. Henry Bowtock, of Pendleton, Ind., ntged as spokesman for the delegation, saying in part: "The men who stand before you to day have come from the States rang ing from the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts to the broad praifies of Illinois; from the Great Lakes to be yond Mason aud Dixon's line. From eleven States we come, representing the overwhelming majority sentiment of our fellow-work men who toil in the groat window-glass industry, iu every factory in the United States. We are satisfied with the quality of our dol lars, and have no fear as to the volume of our money if the tariff is so regulat ed and levied as to best protect Ameri can industries, and in such volume as to insure sufficient funds to meet the ordinary expenses of the ( lovernment, thereby insuring to us the opportunity to work and receive the money that Is the just reward of an American work- ingman, and at the same time de manding of the employers in foreign countries that if they would bring the product) of their cheap lalnr to corn-p.-te in our markets with the products of our free American labor, they must meet us on even ground by bringing back w ith those products some f the gold that an administration has been forced first to borrow and then to re turn to them as interest on the public debt, which they are rendering more burdensome day by day as they pro ceed. And all, or nearly all, this through the operations of their great tariff reform, sometimes called' 'tariff for revenue only,' which name we would amend by changing the punc tuation and adding a few words, mak ing it read: 'Tariff for revenue, only it fails to produce the revenue.' 'We desired to greet you personally, Major McKinley, because we look up on you as the favorite son of the Uni ted States, not the choice of any politi cal machine or urged by the people within the confines of any one State but tbe one, which the people began to realize that the time had come when a standard-bearer must be chosen as a candidate of a great party for President of the United States, whoe name spontaneously burst from the care and sorrow burdened hearts of the Ameri can people as the one grand character, round whom from every humble home aud hearthstone in our broad land were clustering the hopes for letter aud brighter days to come. We greet you then, as our ideal or American citizenship, the unassuming soldier. patriot and statesman, the hope of our people, the next President of the Uni ted States." M.VJ. MCKINLKY'S KKSPOXSK. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed as Maj. McKinley stepped forward to re spond. W hen order had been restored he spoke as follows: Mr. Itostock and Gentlemen of the Window-glass Workers of the United States It is particularly gratifying to me to have this large body of the rep- J him he was ill, and to lie down at once, resentatives of your association, fresh j He did so. II is face was reddish I up front your Convention, and speaking i pi, his breathing heavy, and altogeth er your gnt industry, scattered over eleven States of the Union, honor me with this call of greetings and congrat ulation. I appreciate the words of confidence expressed by your spokes man, so eloquently, and agree with him that there Is something funda mentally wrong, which demands a qvedy remedy, and which can ouly lj had by the people hptaking through the constitutional forms at the next general election. (Great applause.) "You have, sir, alluded to our diffi culties with singular force and accu racy, demonstrating that you appre ciate fully the great problems which are before the American people for sol ution and settlemeuL Nothing could be better said than thut a great essen tial to the credit of the country is to provide enough revenue to run the country. The credit of any govern ment is imperilled so long as it spends more money than it collects. The credit of the Government, like that of j the individul citizen, is best subserved by living within its means and provid- j ing means with which to live. "Every citizen must know that the receipts of the United States are now insufficient for its necessary expendi tures, and that our present revenue laws have resulted in causing a defi ciency in the Treasury for almost three years. It has been demonstrated, too, that no relief can be had through the present Congress. The relief rests with the people themselves. They are charged with the election of a new Congress in November, which will give the needed relief. If they elect a Republican Congress the world knows that one of its first acts will be to put upon the statute books of the country a law under which the Government will collect enough money to meet its ex penditures, stop debts and deficiencies, and adequately protect American labor. ( ( i reat cheeri ng and applause. ) This would be one of the surest steps toward the return of confidence and a revival of business prosperity. MISTAKEN POLICY. "The Government has not been the only sufferer In the past three years, as your spokesman has so vividly shown. The people have suffered, the laboring man in his work and wages, the farm er in his prices and markets, and our citizens generally in their Income and investments. Enforced idleness among our people has brought to many Amer ican homes gloom and wretchedness WHOLE NO. 2349. where cheer and hoje once dwelled. Both Government and people have paid dearly for a mistaken policy, a policy which lias disturbed our industries and cut down our revenus, always so es sential to our credit and independence and prosperity. Having injured oor industries, a new experiment is now proposed, oue that would debase our currency and further weaken, if not wholly destroy, public confidence. Workingmen, have you not had enough of such rash and costly experi ments. (Cries or "We have, we have.") Do not all of us wish for the return of the economic policy which. for more than a third of a century, gave the Government its highest cred it, and the citizen his great prosperity (Great applause. ) "As four years ago the people were warned agaiust the industrial policy proclaimed by our politii-al adversa ries, aud which has brought such ruin upon the country, and was entreated to reject the experiment which exper ience had always shown to be fraught with disaster to our revenues, employ ments and enterprises, so now they are again warned to reject this new rem dy, no matter by what party or leaders it may be offered, as certain to entail upon the country only increased and aggravated disaster and suffering and bring no good or profit to any iublic interest whatever. "Circumstances, gentlemen, have given to tlie B -publican party at this juncture of our national affairs a place of supreme duty and responsibility. Seldom, if ever, has any political party occupied a poht of such high import ance as that intrusted to the Repub lican party this year. Indeed, it may be confidently asserted that never Is. fore ha-) any political organization been so clearly and conspicuously call ed to do battle for so much that is best in government as Is this year de manded of the Republican party. "But, happily, it will not contend alone. It will number-among its al lies, friends and supporters thousands of brave, patriotic and conscientious xlitical opponents of the past who will join our ranks and make common cause in resisting the proposed tiebjse meut of our currency, the degradation of our country's honor and in uphold ing the continued supremacy of law and order the strougest and might iest pillar of free government. (Great appluse. ) GRAVE MTV. "The determination of this contest calls for the exercise of the grave t duty of good citizenship, and partisan ship should not indeed, I am veiy sure it wli not weigh as against pa triotism in tlie calmer, proper settle ment of the questions which confront us.

All seemed fair and prt ra ising ; but oue night hey husband tame home very late and staggered into the house. His wife, greatly shocked, told er he was a pitiable looking objett. Mustard plasters were applied to his hands and feet. When the doctor came, felt hispuhe, examined him, and found that he wts drunk, be said : "He w ill be all right in the morn ing." But the wife insisted that he wts very ill, and severe remedies mut 1 e used. "You must shave his head and apply blisters," she urged, "or I shall send for some one who will." His head was accordingly shaved closely and blisters applied. All night belay iu a drunken sleep, notwith standing the blisters. About daylight he awoke to a most uncomfortable consciousness of blister ed agony. "What does this mean?" he said. putting his hand to his bandaged head, "Lie still ; you musn't stir," said the wife ; "you have lieen very ill. "I am not ill." "Oh, yes you are ; you have brain fe ver. We have worked hard with you all night." "I should think you had," groantd the victim. "What's the matter with my feet V 'They are blistered." "I am better now. Take off the blis ters ; do," he pleaded piteously. He was most uucomfortable; his head covered with sores and his bands and feet still worse. "My dear," be mid, groaning, "if I should get sick in this way again, do not l alarmed or send for a doctor. and, above all, do not blister me again.' "Oh, indeed, I will. All that saved you was the blisters ; and if you should have another spell I should be more frightened titan ever, for the tendency, I am sure, is to apoplexy ; and from the next attack you will be likely to die unless the severest measures are used." From that day be has never had an other attack of drink. "I was run over by a lumber wagon Did not expect to live. Was terribly bloated.

When I was a young fellow I wan night telegraph ojierator at a little way station on a railroad," said the individ ual who works the Washington wire, as he removed a shade from his fore- liead and joined the rest of his fellows at lunch. "I remember that oor chief ambition was to get as much sleep as we could get nights without being found out, so we emild get along with out wasting no much of the day in bed. 'Pound' we used to call sleep in thoMt day, because we stopped 'pounding brads' to 'pound our ears' on an expresM package pillow, with a waiting room beui h for a bunk. Funny thing is trade slang. In those days there were very few semaphore aiguals, and we had to get out on the track with red and white lanterns and swing trains up, and our chiefest bane was a hold ing order, for there must be no sleep with them on our hands. "For instance, if west-bound trains had the right of way, the dispatcher might send me au order to 'Hold No. 'Ji for orders,' and then run east bound trains against it all the way up the line, tjuite a responsibility to put ou a 17-year-old boy. Well, if we hap pened to be terribly sleepy it was a bard fight, I have been so sleepy that I daren't sit in my chair for fear I would fall asleep, and I have stood up and walked around many a time for an hour or so along in the small hours of the morning until the order was re voked or the train got in. One way we had was to put a high stool out in the ceutre of the floor and sit on that. If we went to sleep we would tumble off. I nearly broke my neck once that way. I have often had a call on the wire wake me up. There's something peculiar about that. I have been sound asleep in the room adjoining the telegraph office, had a train go by and an alarm clock go off without waking me up, with two or three Instruments clicking away like mad all of the time, and then start up suddenly wide awake, when some one called my of fice on the wire. It always seemed to wake me up in the same way. I would dream that my station was being called and that some one was holding me down to prevent my an swering it. I would struggle and strain to escape aud then suddenly awake to find the instruments calling, just as I dreamed they were. Once when I was very sound asleep I act ually got up in my sleep and walked across a waiting room into the office and had my hands on the key to an swer before 1 woke up." "This wasn't infallible however, un fortunately, and we used to try a!L sorts of schemes to awaken ourselves, usually beginning with an alarm clock. The trouble with an a' arm clock is that a man becomes accustomed to it and it fails to rouse. We learned that the way to use one was to give the alarm only one turn the first two or three times we tried, then two turns for a while, and so on until it was fully wound up each time, and when it be gan to lose its effect, as it would, like the continued use of opiates, we dis continued it for a while and tried something else. I have often set my clock twenty minutes ahead, lay down and slept peacefully for that brief per iod. "The greatest trouble we had was iu reporting the passing of trains. Soma of the night expresses would rush by so quick that we wouldn't get thor oughly awake, aud then, by and by, after the train had been reported from two or three stations above, would per haps wake up and fiud the dispatcher calling. Then he would ask, perhaps, for No. 41, aud we would answer "Not yet;" there would be a bad few min utes in store for us, for very severe things can be said over a wire, and they sound a thousand times worse than face-to-face abuse. For a while I had a dog who would begin to growl when a train was a mile away and would wake me up, but after a while he got afflicted in the reg ular way, and would only growl for a tramp. At last I devised a novel scheme. I ran a light string across the track about five feet from the ground, tied one end to the fence and ran the other through the keyhole. To this end I attached a coal hod filled with pokers, tin cans, etc., so that when the train passed the string would break and down would come the hod with terrible clatter, and I would be roused. Well, I had it all uicely fixed for the Chicago express the first night, when alaxit 1 o'clock a tramp trudged along up the tract and the string caught him just under the nose. Say, he was the maddest man I ever heard. If I hadn't had my dog with me I lon't lelieve he would ever have calmtd down. 'That scheme w.is pretty satisfac tory for quite a while, but I got so that I'd sleep thrnigh that, too, sometimes. It would get caught occasionally and wouldn't work, aud it was a mean rig ging to arrange, anyway, so I decided that the safest plan was to tie the end of the string to my arm. The first time I tried that I was out of cotton string, so I rummaged around in the oftice and found a I -all of this fine, bard twine which the express people use, and I ttretched that, like a big fool, tied one end of it around my wrist and laid down on a cot. In about an hour along came the New York limited, about fifty miles an hour, and, say! why, that twine would have towed a tanalboat. Before it broke it ha I tipped over the" cot. dragged me half way aenws the floor. nearly frightened me half to death and cut into the flesh of my w rist nearly to the bone. My arm was nearly dis located. You can bet that I used cot ton twine after that."
