generally known as Charley aSwede,
rising fifty. we should say, employed
at the Mint from the time of the laying
OF the corner stone of it to this day
as watchman-was showing some
visitors through the institution and
had got into the room where the roll
ing machinery Is kept; and while
pointing out the manner Of the work.
ing of the ingot roller his right hand
got caught IN 1t and was instantly
drawn In and crushed-way up to the
wrist. His cries at once attracted the
attention Of the engineer, who stopped
the engine and reversed the rollers. 80
that when his hand came out 1t had
been rolled both ways, In and out OF
the apparatus, and was mashed to a
fiat pulp Of bones, and the flesh and
integuments all stripped off. There
was nothing in reason to do but cut it
off and end the chances of morti1cas
ton, lockjaw and future dissection
aud slicings, so DIR. Waters amputated
the dreadfully maRgled member ut the
wrist. Charley Is doing well enough,
but Is sadly distressed, and mourns the
loss Of his faithful right hand; but he
has excellent attendance, and need
have 10 fear for the future, for there
can never be any Mint management
here or anywhere In the country that
will fail to keep him on the pay rolls.
OF course the shock Is excruciating
and intense. Strangely enough, Char
ley boards with the widow Of Mr.. Ozro
Parker. who lost his life In 1872 by
being drawn into some helting at the
Mint.

think it's about time you treated on
this arrangement" Mac agreed. and
all three. went in and took a drink,
costing Mac 75 cents. Charley Wat
son fails to see where Macs margin
for profits comes In, and Lambert
promises to treat next time. Mac
don't know Of any blunder.
