Handy One Armed Men,

H. was big man with heavy side
whirkers and military air that bctoken-
ed long service under fire; and he was
ne-armed man. The empty sleeve that
nung at his right side told of glory
sought and Of peril undergone. lie was
seated in an Eighth street restaurant,
leisurely breakfasting and going through
the motions of the meal with graceful
ease that betokeneda man OF high breed
ing.
"Neyer mind the knife and fork" he
said. as the obsequious waiter placed
those useful instruments beside the saw
DRY steak that formed the basis of the
meal: Il am already provided. " Sosay-
ing he drew from his pocket small
morocco case and removed from it an
ivory-handled instrument, highly pol
ished that looked strikingly surgical in
its spotless brilliancy Opening this by
the aid Of his mouth, and his remaining
hand he disclosed what proved TO be a
knife and fork combined. One side was
well-shsped knife, and at the ends
were three broad prongs that served
we'll the purposes Of fork. The cut
ting of the steak was done gracefully
and thoroughly, and then his breakfast
began.
By this time the writer, anxious TO
learn more of the devices Of the one
armed man, took seat al the same table
and ordered his breakfast. His remarks
on the ease and grace with which the
veteran handled his conioint knife and
fork were well received and the one
armed man willingly explained some Of
the many devices that he and others
manned in the war resort 10 for self-ser-
vice.
This knife and fork, he said, "were
among the first inventions for one-arm-
ed men and have been in use for many
years. But we have other devices not so
generally known. For instance, when

to my basin small brush, upon which
rub my soap and thus raise the neces-
sary suds. When | want to cut my
nails / stick sharp knife into the Ia

edge Of the blade To tie my shoe in a
bow-knot required long practice and the
little ingenuity, but | can do it easily

words. For long time had great
trouble in buttoning my collar, but now
no button can resist me. | don't believe

Grafton as most men who have two

"Oh, yes. There is no difficulty about

the lies they have been told are madeto
marry several women. That done, and
the church tells them they have sinned
against the laws of the United States,
and that their only safety now lies in
keeping their faith with the Mormon
clans. They are too ignorant to doubt
this; they are in the coils; in debt, and
they have to stay.
A few days since, while party of
loggers were telling trees on Salmon
Creek, Forest County, one OF them,
Swede, accidentally found himself in the
way Of falling tree, which he was UNI
able 10 avoid. His fellow workmen
rushed forward as the tree struck
the ground, and found the man quite
dead, with limb of the tree sticking
through his body, the limb having evil
IDENTIFY passed through the heart and
killed him instantly. 1t was impossible
to withdraw il without mutlating the
body, and 50 the limb was sawed off on
each side and the remains buried with
stick Of wood running through his
yitals.
A story is told Of how Barnum once
succeeded in emptying his big show at
q time when il was densely crowded and
thousands were waiting outside to OBJ
tain admission. He knew that start
was all that was needed to effect this
purpose, but how to manage that was
the rub. At length a bright idea occur
red to him. Painting up in large let
tiers on piece of calico, This way to
Egress,' he hung it up at convenient
angle Of his show. Some Of the simple
country people thinking "egress' wa:
some strange new animal just added tc
the collection, passed through the silt
in the curtain, and to their amazement
found themselves outside the show. The
thing was done. Everybody saw every
other body making for the corner where
the new animal was on exhibition, and
in few minutes the show was emptied
and the outgoing stream being so great
that it was quite impossible to turn
when once caught in its eddy.
