He stood before the mantel-piece,

'"They all don't. My mother has

could taste the brandy and it tasted
good. Mother said then it was wrong,

And if mother says a thing is wrong,
you may be sure it is wrong; for what

knows how to make pies good?" and
a laugh went up from a group OF girls

An interesting case of skin-grafting, by
which Wallace PEBBLES, q I4-year-old boy,
regained the use of his left arm instead of
having 1t amDutated, has attracted some
attention among the medical fraternity and
has been the occasion of no little amount
Of discussion by the residents of tue Mission
and those cognizant of the case.
Several months ago the boy was feeding q
carding machine in the Tubbs Cordage
Company,s factory, at the Pntreto, when
his left sleeve was caught Ia the cogwheels.
Before he could tear it away the cruel
wheels dragged in : his arm also. and
from the wrist to the elbow tore the
flesh and crushed one of the arm bones
in horrible manner. Luckily the machiu-
cry was stouped in TIME to save the boys
life. but not before nearly half Of the fore
arm had been mangled and torn away. as
we'll as the nerves and cords Of three
fingers,
S AS quickly as possible the boy was taken
to DIR. L. L. Wemple, at the Potrero phar-
macy, and the wound attended to. 1t was
found the lower part Of the ulna had been
SO badly crushed and splintered as to ne

as blood poisoning might set in at any time
and cause death, but the judgment Of the
latter physician prevailed and skin-grafting
was decided upon. Now, Wallace is some
what OF diplomat himself, so he sent out
invitations TO his yonng boy and girl friends
to have party at his home. The invita-
tons were responded to with alacrity, and
such WAS the sympathy for their bed
