Tom Young, not the Chinaman Tt
Young, nor our one armed friend Tt
Young, but the other Tom Young, the fun
one, had a peculiar experience a short til
ago that was not SO very funny. His W
had stepped out somewhere and left h
alone in the room, which 1t is not always s
to do, and he thought, like his prototy
Tom Sawyer, that he would try an expe
ment. There was a chair in the room one
the rounds of which had come out, and
concluded he'd mend it with sealing W
So he put the wax on the fire and heated
red hot and poured the hole full. He IL
put his face dow pretty close to his work
order to see that it was well done, and pOpI
the round into its lawful and lesitim
place. As the round went in the red b
liquid sealing wax flew out and deposi
itself In and around Toms larboard e
burning it pretty much as unequal amount
red hot iron would have done. Tom is over
feet high and broad shouldered in prOporti
but that half ounce of sealing wax got l
down, and he squealed. His loving and d.
full wife bound up his wound but he suffe
terribly. He said afterward that he wO
rather have had an arm taken off. He is
ting well now, but the boys all ask, AS he g
along the street, if he has been playing v
L4sealing wax again of late.
