When he arrived at the hospital he was
struggling like a madman to release
himself from the attendants, who had
placed him in the ambulance. The air
was fairly blue with profanity. 1 never
heard man use such oaths before or
since. He swore by all that was good
and bad that he could whip 10000 con-
federates in ten minutes, and insisted
that he be sent back to his regiment
that he might get satisfaction for the
loss of his arm. l saw at once that the
pain of his wound had made him crazy,
and, directing the attendant to lay him
on the operating table, 1 soon had him
under the influence of an anaesthetic.
He was very stubborn and it required
a good deal of chloroform to quiet him,
and finally he succumbed and / cut off
his arm. When he came to his senses
he scarcely seemed to realize what had
happened. He looked at me, then at
his arm, and finally it came to him that
his arm had been amputated and he
could fight no more for many day.
With sudden bound he leaped from
the table, and, seizing a carbine that
was lying on the ground near by, he
started on run in the direction of the
firing in front. He ran like deer for
short distance, when the previous
loss of blood told on him and he sud
denly collapsed and fell to the earth.
He was picked up by the attendants,
brought back, placed in an ambulance
and started on the way to the rear.
There's the difference between two
wounded men.
Another instance occurred here. In
attending to the wounded 1 found
private lying on his back with bullet
hole in his left side, a few inches be-
low the heart, from which the blood
was squirting 9s regular as the beats of
that organ L placed my finger On the
wound and knew there was no hope
for him. He caught my eye and re-
allied at once his doom. "All right,
DOCTOR" said he, "move on to the next.
Good-by." And another brave fellow
had crossed the dark river. By the side
of him lay youth of perhaps 1S-a
rugged, raw-boned boy, evidently a
farmers son. He had been struck by
missile which had cut away the heel
of his shoe and foot close to the bone,
as clean as could be done with sharp
knife. He was crying and moaning
with pain and fear that he would die.
In fact; he felt sure that he would never
see home again, and many messages
were given me to send away. One of
my assistants fixed him up in good
| shape, and six weeks after that he was
with his regiment again.
We're you ever wounded yourself, doc
| tor?

with a bit of cork at the top of these,
one has at once delightful chair to go
with the table and stool. The next
piece of manufacture might be a tee
totum, and here Bob's paints begin to
come into play.
Cut a match in half; sharpen one end
a little. Cut a thin slice crosswRys
from claret cork and stick the match
through the middle of it, pointed end
first. Cut out a circle of cardboard
four times as large as the cork, and
draw two lines al right angles across
the disk. That will leave it divided into
four quarters, and these quarters ure
to be painted blue, green, yellow and
red. Bore a hole in the center of the
disk and slip the blunt end of the
match through it until the cardboard
rests upon the cork. Next cut another,
but rather thicker, slice from the cork.
bore hole in the center and stick the
blunt end of the match through, press
ing il down till it touches the card.
This will leave about an inch of match
TO be taken between finger and thumb
for spinning this beautiful teetotum.
Cutting long slices through the mid
die of the cork leaves pieces which, with
the aid of Bob's paints, can be turned
into beautiful set of dominoes, and by
cutting out square pieces one can make
a beautiful set of noiseless dice to be
used with the backgammon board.
But perhaps the incest toy of all made
III this shop, which has for it's sign:
"Old cork taken in exchange for new
piaythings," is the set of parlor croquet.
To begin this heavy but fruitful labor
cut out IS small squares of cork. Bend
into curved hoop-a miniature of those
used in lawn croquet-nine hairpins.
and these, with each end stuck into one
o. the small squares of cork, will stand
upright and serve as table wickets for
the game. Cut slices crossways from
the vinegar-bottle cork, and into the
middle of each of these stick match
whose end has been sharpened for the
purpose. This can be painted around
with rings of contrasting colors, as is
done to the goal stakes of lawn croquet.
Next, for the mallets hunt about in
the cork box for four small ones of even
s;ze-thosc from the small medicine
walls serve nicely if they have not been
stained by drugs. These, If nice shape,
need no cutting at all. Matches will
serve as handles for these mallets, and
band of color must be painted around
each SO that players may distinguish
their own mallets. Some nice, large,
old sugar-coated pills would make beau
tiful balls for this nursery croquet, with
stripe of paint around each one.-Chi-

the old hound went clubbing around in
the shade.

So left Jim and the hound together,

the bird dog had gone nosing about,

Looping along with the bird dog at his

that the fox seemed to want to do was
to keep out of sight of the hound, which

the matter was.

Peculiar Election Custom.

There is strange custom attendant

nor the number of eggs is ever varied.

most good fellowship. Only one man
ever dared to brave popular sentiment,
and refused to pay his share of the ex-
pense. He had been elected by large
majority, but was defeated at the next
election for no other reason than his
want of respect for the custom. No one
knows how the custom originated.

GRANT WAS THERE.
Gen. Leo Knew the Union General Was
Always on Hand.

Always on Hand.
One of the difficult things to under
stand is thac to differ in opinion with
some one does not necessarily mean
that some one should be disliked. Law
yers will carry on their bitter word
fights in covrt and five minutes later
perhaps be lunching together. A gen
erous enemy will admire the courage
and ability of the man he is working
against. In recent lecture Gen. Gordon
told a story of the war of the rebellion
which illustrates just this idea. Gen.
Gordon was a confederate general on
a general on the confederate side as
Gen. Grant was on the union side. One
day Gen. Lee sent for Gen. Gordon and
said to him: "Take these regiments
mentioning some) and go to Spottsyl-
vania. BE there tomorrow morning"
"In surprise, Gen. Gordon asked why
troops were needed at that particular
spot.
Because" replied Gen. Lee, Grant
will be there"
Nothing, had been heard of GRAMS
movements for long time, but Gen.
Gordon supposed that Gen. Lee had
some dispatches which had informed
him of Grants nearness. He asked if
this was so.
No." said Lee, "but Grant ought to be
there, and he will be-" Lee was a great
general himself, and knew what a gr at
general should do. He had studied ont
Grants plans from the place where he
last heard of him, and decided where he
would next make his appearance.
Gen. Gordon went to Spottsylyania.
Grant was there, and one of the fiercest
battles of the war was fought.-N. Y.

Sort of 'shamed, you know, and small.
Something seemed to prick us queetly,

While she smiled as sweet as ever,

Roen; but as for the shooting he does in
them" Here the speakers power Of
expression collapsed and failed him
utterly. He glared around the table
hopelessly, and then clutched his glass.
AS the cool, comfortable chink of the
cracked ice proclaimed the falling of the
level of the liquid in the thin glass, his
emotion was soothed. The waiter read
the promise of tip in the glow of con-
tentment which overspread his coun-
tenance, and as rosy view of the world
replaced the bitter memories of the
shooting trip he exclaimed, with sigh
Of deep satisfaction:
ooh, but you should have seen that
goose of his!"
The waiter was sent scurrying away
Tor more supplies lest the man from up
the river should become respondent

'I can't expect you fellows to appre-
ciate the good qualities of that goose be-
cause you haven't seen his dogs" he
said. 81 didn't myself until after 1
had been out hunting with his dogs.
But from the time 1 got there he kept
Dragging about the goose. 1t didn't
seem to have any particular points su-
perior to other geese, and it had good
deal fewer feathers. That was because
On eagle tried to carry it off one day.
The eagle swooped down and sank it's
talons into the goose's back and tried
to fly away with it. But the goose
fought it so with it's wings that finally
the eagle was glad to get away by it
self, and left the goose strutting proud
ly above the lawn with half it's feathers
scattered over the grass. Jim thought
an awful. lot about it from that mo-
ment.
"'It's the finest fighting goose in the
state, he said. There isn't another that
has a record of whipping an eagle
$50 he started to give the goose an ed
ucation. He taught It to dance and shoe
the cows, and it got the bighead and
fought the servant girls and made a gen.
eral nuisance of itself. 1t seemed a
peculiar thing to make pet of; but,
then, as said, hadn't seen his dogs at
work.
"The third day was up there it was
