Tt is an old and well-known maxiI

from East johnson found last Satu

store and investigating the working
of a cigar cutter, when, pushing b
finger in little too far, the kni
sprung out and clipped the tip of h
finger off. Itrather frightened the be
at first but some of the men washe
and done it up for him and he fe
quite comforted. Some other me
coming in the accident was related
them and the details not being e.
actly as the boy understood it,
stepped forward and, using anoth,
finger, undertook to illustrate tt
way it was done when-presto-tl
spring snapped and the tip of ii
other finger was off. After that VIZ
washed and bandaged the boy ste
ped in front of the machine and wit
his hands held tightly behind hi
made this statement, well, l bet
shan't monkey with that thing al
more"
