collodion. Collodion is pyroxylinum
(gun cottOn) dissolved in ether and
alcohol. Collodion when painted on
the skin rapidly dries from evaporation
of the ether and covers the skin with
thin protective film. Over this dressing
may be placed layer of cotton and a
few turns of roller bandages. Your
wound is now protected from infection
from without and will heal without
any trouble.
Lacerated wounds must of necessity
require the services of surgeon. Such
wounds are the result of ENHANCEMENT
in machinery and the mutilation of
limbs by car wheels. The extent of
this mutilation is sometimes so great
that the shock to the nervous system
is so overwhelming as to cause death,
either Immediately or within a few
hours. The first thing to attend to is
the shock. If there is marked derange-
ment of the nervous system, evidenced
by partial unconsciousness or an ex-
hilarated state of IL am all right"
clammy skin and pale or ashen face,
restorative measures are necessary
before anything else is done, with one
exception, that is to check the hemor-
rhage if there is any present.
The best and surest method is to
apply what is called tourniquet.
Take piece of strong cloth about four
inches wide and two feet long, pass it
around the limb and tie so as to leave
loop of two or three inches; pass a
stick through this and twist until the
bleeding vessels are controlled. A
leather strap may be used if nothing
| better is available. The shorter the
distance person suffering from severe
shock is moved from the place OF
accident to where he can receive the
surgeons care, the better. In some
cases it is far better to bring the
surgeon, than TO move the patient
Alcohol may be used, but with caution
for if given in large quantities it may
seriously handicap the action of rem
edies administered by the physician
Absolute rest of the injured parts, ano
the application of hot water is all thai
should be done. If the person must bt
moved some distance, or should some
time elapse before the physician arrives
the tourniquet should be loosened from
time to time, to prevent gangrene.

distrustful of one another to give any

The Hopeless Hobo.

TIME conventional tramp is
person of ofunquenchable thirst,
no residence, ragged apparel
and undaunted philosophy.
He moves through the world with
sardonic smile at the folly of an
industrious life and an exalted con-
tempt for diligence, thrift, cleanliness,
law, decency, regular habits and per-
manent habitations. He is the human
waif, the f1otsam from sea of misery,
the jetsam of misfortune, the legitimate
son of sorrow, and he likes to be all
these things.
In his absolute passivity, the tramp,
with his paradoxical relations to
society, is forcing himself to be
living factor of the age, and who counts
him out misses something worth con-
sidering. His future and his genesis
are alike clouded in mystery, and the
controlling spirit of his life is masked
in the careless scorn we cast over him.
Has he joys, as obviously, from our
viewpoint, he has SORROWS? Do
angels minister to him sweet dreams
as he shivers in sleep beneath the cold
stars? In his journeys to somewhere,
does he not have goal where the
reward of his efforts await him with
welcome as sweet as the kisses of
children on our own threshold? These
are questions that sentiment may ask
in vain.
The only happiness his life affords
are the gypsy joys of vagabondage.
For these he tramps until judgment
day, scoffing at and derisive alike of
our sympathy and his own sorrows and
sins. A. RS.

MIZPAH.

Mizpah! God be the watcher
Whene'er our ways divide,
And thine go to the one hand,
Mine to the other side.
And yet, though far asunder
Thy way and mine may be,
God, in His sleepless mercy,
Keep watch 'twixt thee and me.
Whatever may befall thee,
In sunshine or in rain,
In gladness or in sadness:
In pleasure or In pain,
BY day Gods hand defend thee,
By night His angels make
Their camp around thy dwelling,
Until the morning break.
When thou art faint and weary,
When thou hast gone astray!~
The hand of the Good Shepherd
Restore thee to the way.
Whatever cross thou Dearest,
God make 1t to bear thee.
The Lord, with thee forever,
Thy cheer and comfort be.
If He shall be thy watcher,
And in his hand keep thine,
No evil can befall thee.
The care of love divine.
And when the journeys over,
Tnen, safe at home, We'll say,
Twas good watchword, MiZpah,
For pilgrims in the way.

JOSIAH FLYNT'S
BOSTON"

"LYNT'S article on Boston in the
X June McClure's is cleverly
constructed fairy tale He
says the "Under World calls
Boston "a plain-clothes mans town."
This is pure moonshine. He naively
informs us that "plain-clothes man"
is "fy cop" or detective. He is wise.
"Fly cop" is wrong; an "elbow" is what
thieves call detective.
Flynt gets whole lot of information
from a hack driver. No cabby would
be loquacious with chance fare, and
certainly would not criticise the police.
He would be jeopardizing his means of
livelihood, and that for the price of a
days cab-fare. Who regulates cabmen? :?
The police. Who issues their license !?
The police commissioners. Cabby's
nformation-pure fake.
Flynt says "the principle hobo with
whom I talked is known today as
Boston Shiny" those notion of style is a
sumptuous "set down" and pipe of
|s'snipe." Another creature Of Josiah's
elastic imagination. A "hobo" is not
tramp, but working man tempo
rarily on the tramp in search of work.
Josiah calls "Slimy" tramp and
makes him the mouthpiece of the
tramp in Boston. "Slimy" is fake.
Why? "Yeg," corruption of the
word beg, is the proper slang for tramp.
"Slimy" is "yeg," that is he is tramp.
Josiah's star tramp smokes snipe.
Tramps chew snipe, but as rule smoke
cigarettes. By the way, Mr. Flynt very
conveniently meets this tramp of his.
That interview with the other in
formant on the outskirts of Boston is
all rot. Why? Josiah says he promised
the "Gun" Crook he would not divulge
his "monaker" if he ("the Gun'') would
give some information. "Monaker'

word monogram-and means nick.

T EAVING home is to many a
young man his making or his
ruin. AS to which it proves to
be, depends largely on the kind
of training he received while at home
and the kind of stuff he is made of.
To the young man of good parts,
moral stamina, grit and common sense,
nothing is greater developer in the
right direction than getting away from
home. Once out among strangers, the
thoughtful care of loving parents is
all gone, and he must rely upon him
self. OF the comforts thrust upon him
hitherto by the loved ones at home, he
is now deprived. Circumstances now
compel him to think and provide for
himself; brought into competition with
others, he must now struggle to keep
his place in the race of life, unassisted
by friends. This, to the young man of
good parts, is the school of experience
which develops energy, tact, self-re-
lance; and in word makes of him
manly man. But if he is morally weak,
vacillating, reckless, Indifferent, ven
turesome, with little or no conscience,
or has in him that peculiar selfshness
which turns good talents and ingenuity
into powers for evil, leaving home soon
works his destruction.
The selfish, reckless young man soon
finds himself in partnership with the
prince of darkness, and on the highway
| to ruin.
How important then, that our boys
all receive the proper training in the
home, so essential to qualifying them to
safely take care of themselves after
they have passed the home-leaving
time for evermore. 1t is the man who
gets to be a man who does, and to
whom the chance for doing comes.

~ sentence upon bank ca shier
~ who was recently convicted of
embezzlement, made some very
interesting and opportune remarks.
The trial developed the fact that the
bank directors had paid the cashier but
$500 year. The judge said that were
it in his power, he would send the
directors to prison also for expecting
their cashier to support a large family
and maintain his position in society on
such a miserly salary. The directors
were criminally guilty of compelling
the cashier to live life OF penury,
while daily handling thousands of
dollars of other peoples money. He
must have resisted the temptation to
steal thousand times before he finally
fell.
Every man wishes his children to
dress we'll and to present as good an
appearance as his neighbor's. When
he occupies a position of trust and
esteem, society expects him to provide
for his family according to his
position. No doubt this unfortunate
cashier had more than once asked the
bank directors to raise his salary. They
refused, poverty began to pinch and he
stole that he might keep up appear
ances. The judge is right, the bank
directors are more to blame for the
violation of the law in this case than
the convicted thief. PENDENNIs.

A Review of "TOnlmy
and Grizel."

THE story of Tommy and
Grizel" by Mr.. J. M. Barrie is
we'll told. Tommy Sandys,
Grizel's hero, is Sentimental
Tommy grown up, but Mr.. Barrie
insists on keeping him an eternal boy.
Tommy is an idealist and a sentimen-
talist; bearded and squire of DANES.
He had fierce desire to tell Grizel the
truth about himself, but did not know
what it was. Grizel Is as true and
lovable a character as novelist ever
created. Her story is simple, but at
times sad. 1t is hardly to be read
without tears.
The boy Tommy returns to Thrums,
from London, where he had been
"devilling" for o. P. Pym, famous
author, to find his old playmate Grizel
grown a woman. He has written q
book, and was courted by great danes;
but now he quails before the clear eyes
of Grizel. She knows him to be a
sentimentalist, but she loves him. And
without meaning it Tommy is drawn
into the game himself. With surprise
he finds and says. the words of the
situation, which he should never have
said. He is filed with remorse, but
the imaginative sentimentalist takes
no denial. Through Carp, Tommy's
henchman, Grizel learns how Tommy
stole her glove and jumped into the
water to rescue child. She is filled
with Joy and believes she is truly loved
at last. Tommy had not the courage
to undeceive her. He played the part
of the perfect lover we'll, and the pair
had some happy moments together
But when the inevitable discovery
came Grizel's heart was broken, and
Tommy fed to the arms of London
charmer. Wooing this woman, who
was an iceberg" Tommy was over
heard by Grizel, who straightway-in

went mad. Tommy then married her
and nursed her back to sanity. But
meanwhile the London dame burned
Tommy's best manuscript and this
goaded him on to pursuing her again.
And in so doing he came to an un-
timely end. One need not be sorry for
Tommy but we pity GriZel for she
loved snd sacrificed all, and was then
forgotten by her hero. r.

Leon Czolgosz. the accused and self

is unmarried. He claims TO be a member
of the Golden Eagles. CZolgosz has not

for his action and shows no sign of in

The mans name is Leon Czoigosz. He
is of Polish-German extraction His
home IS in Cleveland. where he has seven
brothers and sisters. He is an avowed
anarchist and an ardent disciple of Em-

the President He denies steadfastly
that he is the instrument of any body
of anarchists or the tool of any coferie of
plotters. He declares that he did not
have confederate. His only reason for
the deed. he declares, is that he believed
the present form of government in the
United States is unjust. and he con-

remedy it was TO kill the President.
