HIS LEG BURNED OFF.

Remarkable Experience ofa Drunken Man
at Littleton, W. Va.-Unconsclous Through
IL all.
Special to the Register.
New Martinsville, w. Va, November
23.-Word comes from Littleton, this
county, Of a most peculiar accident that
happened to John Garrison at that
place Garrison went home drunk,
clear through, and finding the family
in bed, lay down upon the hearth,
where his drunken instinct told him it
was warm. During the night Garrison
got one of his legs into the fire, and so
completely under the influence OF liquor
was he that he felt nothing wrong till
the leg was almost burned off below the
knee. The flesh was almost entirely
.ncinerated, when Mrs. Garrison discov-
cred him after several hours, but he was
still unconscious. The limb had 70 be
amputated to save Garrison'S life.

content was he that the merely mater
ial conditions of his life had never
troubled his consciousness. Only one
thing troubled his thoughts Of late. He
was deeply stirred by the soft brown
eyes of pretty Susie Jones, a chOrister
in the church; Susie, who lived as ne
had done, witch friends for board and
keep. another Of New England's or
phans.
He never mentioned this daring spec
ulation. net even 10 the widow; but her
eyes, though growing dim, were acute
enough TO penetrate his honest soul
His whole life lay centered I'm the farm,
which had become as essential TO it al
most as the air he brea-hed. But now
there must be young life there. A pair
of brown eyes persisted in dancing be-
fore his face in woodpile, in field, in
garden.
And so it came to pass that there was
a wedding next Thanksgiving in the
| lit-le cottage, now pretty with vines
and CHEEKY within. Susie was glad of so
+ pleasant a place for the tr0th which she
was to plight with jim, while he, lucky
fellow. though he was. could not take
time TO travel TO Susie's home, far away

An imported gown after this model
was of brown cloth. The sleeves and
under waist were of green silk with
stripes of brown and dull blue, forming
a plaid. The cloth was used in the
waist only for the plastrOn portion.
A handsome crepon of blue and green
mixture had the sleeves and plastrons
of a crepon to match the skirt The
under waist was of a fancy silk in the
same blue and green shades.
One of the seasons fads is combining
two fabrics in waist and even in skirts.
Most brilliant combinations result, and
