The Difference paid to the summer season
is becoming more marked every year. and
whereas in olden times warm weather
meant only a little moro airiness in the
matter of costume, in these days it means
a complete change Of ones ways of iv-
ing. To besin sympathy with summer one
must not eat the same food. drink the
same drinks, or even sit upon the same
chair that enc ates drank and sat upon
during the winter season. Book sellers

and draperles especially recommended by
dealers for the warm weather are calcu-
lated to inspire a desire for a life OF per-
petual lolling.

Current of Air Takes OF u Mans Arm.
From the Kansas City Journal


From the Kansas City Journal
A brief telegram the other day recited
that one James McMullen had lost an arm
in wringing machine in a laundry at
Hutchinson. Here is the remarkable story
related about the accident by the Hutchin-
son News: ."McMullen stopped at the
wringer and held his hands over it to dry
them. He got one hand too low so that
the air suction caught it, and his arm
from the elbow down was taken off as by
a miracle. The wringer is large circular
iron affair, with a. smaller bowl inside it
smaller apartment is perforated with holes
upon the sides, and the whole thing re-
wolves at the rate of several thousand
revolutions a minute. The effect Is that
the air currents within the wringer are as
terrific in their power as the center section
Of a Kansas cyclone. When a cyclone
strikes a brick building and hurls 1t to
atoms the force seems appalling and In
comprehensive. The accident to Mr.. Nc
Mullen was equally mystifying. The in
slant his arm came into contact with the
current of air it was parted at the elbow.
One part lay on the clothes that were in
the machine and the other dangled from
his shoulder. There was nothing about the
nerve exhibited by McMullen was wonder
full. 1t never touched me-. was the first
thing he said. The girls in the room were
screaming and McMullen calmly informed
them that it was not his head that was
taken off and told them to be still He
was taken to hospital and his arm was
amputated close to the shoulder"
