Stories OF Boer Presidents Nerve.

Kruger was shooting one day when
his gun exploded and blew away part
of his thumb. The surgeon to whom
Kruger finally submitted the case
found that the flesh had begun to NOR
tify. and advised amputating the arm
halfway up. But Kruger said he
could not afford to lose his arm. for
then he would no longer be able to
handle his rifle. Then the doctor said
that Kruger should at least allow him
to cut off his left hand. But even this
was too much for Kruger. The sur
geon hereupon told Kruger that he
would have nothing whatever to do
with the case. and left. Kruger then
got his jack knife and sharpened it
carefully, so that it became as sharp
as a razor. He then laid his thumb
upon II stone. and himself cut off its ex-
IRENE joint. But to his great chagrin.
the flesh would not heal at that point.
as putrefaction had gone already too
far. Again he laid his hand upon the
stone, and this time carefully cut away
all the flesh about and above the second
joint of the thumb and this time the
flesh healed and his hand was spared.
He now uses his left index finger as
thumb. and seiZes small objects be-
tween the first two fingers of that
hand.-Poultney Bigelow in the Cen

Christmas, the occasion, is here
again. 1t is a way Christmas has,
whether we are here to receive it or
not. But the spirit of the occasion de-
pends upon the individual to receive 1t
and rightly interpret it. Some are not
receptive and some fail to understand
that the merriment of merry CHRIST
mas should be wholesome ana as
pleasant in memory as pleasurable IN
performance However, those so I'M
fortunate are assured, or ought to be,
that the spirit of Christmas day TENDS
TO soften criticism, encourage charity
for the failures and faults of fellow
beings and is its own most eloquent
and effective sermonizer. so they are
likely to profit from it. There are none
with intelligence to comprehend and
free from anguish, so keen as to be-
numb the faculties. but can share
little in the blessings of this anniver-
sary. 1t is indeed delightful to he re-
membered but the more lasting delight
comes from the giving. if it be no more
than a friendly word and encouraging
look to those who may seem in need of
it. and who isn't?
The gladsomeness of the event
is contagious. The eager interest
in providing something which
shall give happiness to others is as
FRIGHTENING as it sometimes is bewild
ering. Get in touch with it. for of all
times this is the moment for having
and enjoying the spirit of the common
impulse to make others happy. Now
if ever is the time to get "out Of our
selves" and into sharing the hopes and
Joys of others, at the same time bear
ing at least bit of their burdens.
Those of us who live in this country,
especially those living in this good
State, best of them all. have reasons
above all other peoples for making
ready to make merry. The brisk trade
in the towns ana cltleS tHe DAYS pre-
ceding Christmas has shown that the
possession of money is not confined to
a few and with the exception of very
few of the poorest in the larger cities
there are comparatively speaking none
in Maine who cannot rejoice in album
dance of food, shelter, warmth and
suitable clothing, and what better way
to enter into the spirit of the occasion
than to help provide good cheer for the
destitute few? In wishing you a merry
Christmas we are wishing no more
than is possible with exceedingly few
exceptions, we are happy to believe, to
all our readers.
