PHILOSOPHY AND Fun ON VARIOUS THEMES
OF HUMAN INTEREST

THE TEY-THUMBED NAN AND HIS DEpREDATToNS
A SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST PLATO
AND siIAKEsPEARE-A NAN TOO
GOOD TO LIVE.
Copyright 1893: BY Sam Walter Foss)
THE TEN-THUMBED MAN.
The world goes wrong while on Its surface fingers
The man whose fingers all are awkward thumbss
The man who has ten thumbs and has no hngerA
All heaven-born order at his touch succumbs;
Whereer he fumbles furniture quakes.
Where'er he steps the very flooring shakes,
The dishes rattle and the crockery breaks.
And glass lies strewn about I'm broken crumbs.
Ger all external nature does he stumble
And every object that obstructs his way;
Then tangled with his feet does he tumble
And falleth DER himself without delay.
His march of triumph gapes with broken walls,
From every fence tumultuouslv he falls.
Through ali the startled scenery he sprawls.
And strews a track OF ruin through the day.
The man who has ten thumbs but has no fingers
lie keeps his elbows out in every crowd.
on crazed mems corns his placid foot still nger1b
And on the slken trains of ladies proud.
The sweet girls bonnet lies shapeless mass;
The plate glass window is but broken glass.
Through crushed-out eyes does his umbrella pasA
And strong men and women weep aloud.
Aye. mighty warriors deem II safe to run;
They know his fatal. cataclysmic habits.
And all his havoc wrought beneath the sun.
Nhere'er he goes Is formless chaos brewing.
The cosmos trembles al It's undoing.
And order Yields her ancient reign to ruin
He bunders on until his work Is done.
He joins the club and straightway fatal faction
Usurps the place WHORE concord reigned BEFORE
Weaves his ten thumbs in every small transacuoas
And harmony and peace are known no more;
The milk of poetry turns to sour prose,
Through that clubs halls hot molten language flows
The roof re-echoes with resembling blows.
And manged cubmen strew the reekng floor.
Into the church where pious men are banding
To put down sin and all its deeds goes he.
And then the peace which passeth understanding
In that doomed church becomes an absentee
The pastor yields himself to slow despair,
The choir's jangling fills the mangled air.
The deacons fight and tear each others hair.
The church disbands and Satan laughs in glee.
The man who has ten thumbs but has no fngers-
Domestic pence ne'er sheds its gentle force
Within the fated home whereer he fingers
Nor true love wends it's unobstructed course.
Within that home 4 ere sounds perpetual war.
Discordant noise ami alteration raw.
And fluent frenzy fires his mother-in-law.
And daily prays his wife for divorce
ri sit beside the sneak thief and am willing
At the same board TO gather up the crumbs.
And I'll embrace with love the vagrant villain
Vh) plays on tremtones or who beats on drums
I'll love the fool and tolerate the bore,
Cherish the Grant, and bless him evermore,
I.at Fate-kind F'ate-divert him from my door,
The tactless man whose fingers all are thumbs.

iubricating cartridge, and consists of
a bullet provided with a core at its
base, about one-eighth of an inch in
diameter, into which lead plug is in
serted. This core Is filed with
lubricant and ut the base of the core
Is q stopper OF brass. From the bot
tom of the core are four very small
ducts or passages. each extending in n
different direction towards the pointof
the Bullet, but coming out at the shout
der, or rather Just above the shoulder,
and these passages are always filed
with lubricant. When the discharge
takes place, the gas of the exploded
powder drives the lead plug mp the core.

the tiny passageways. evenly distrfbut-

An innovation which appeals 10 the

bore instead OF round one as is ordi-

chamber grades gradually to IN oval.
