VIII Go Without His Toes.

/ w LII OO w ItuOuU 1OGSs
Siuce the news of Commodore
Dewye's victory reached the g. cen hills
of his native State the fires of patri-
otism have burned fiercely in the beasts
OF the boys of Vermont. The etthusi-
asm of sacrifice for Uucle Sam reached
its height the other day in St. Albans.
One of the boys from that town went
before the army surgeon to.be examined,
with a view to enlisting. He was a
strong fellow, and the surgeon found
him all right till he got down to his
feet. There he discovered a defect
which made him hesitate. The little
toes were crooked under so that in
walking the boys weight fell directly
on them.
"I'm afraid L can't pass you with
those toes," said the surgeon. "You
will find them very troublesome on a
long march. Don't they hurt you in
walking?"
The fellow admitted that they were
somewhat painful when he walked
many miles. The surgeon shook his
| head.
"Very sorry," he said, shut Pm
afraid you can't CO."
The boy from Dewey's State threw
back his head and his upper lip stiffened.
"Doctor," he said, "supposing I didn't
have the toes. Would you pass me
then?"
The doctor said he thought he would.
Therenpon the boy walked over to
the hospital and told the house surgeon
that he wanted his little toes cut off so
that he could go to war. This opera
tion was performed, and the brave vol
unteer now lies up at the hospital with
bandages around his feet, minus two
toes, but full of valor and determined
to wear tt uniform of Uncle Sam, toes
or DO toes. New York Herald.
