UNCLE PETER INSPIRES HIS GRAND
SON TO WORTHY AMBITIONS.

By Harry Leon Wilson


UNCLE PETER INSPIRES HIS GRAND
SON TO WORTHY AMBITIONS.
On three successive days the old man held
lengthy Interviews with Shepler in the lat
ters private Office. At the close of the third
days interview. shepler sent for Relpin. OF
the brokerage firm Of ReIpin and Hendricks.
A few days after this Uncle Peter said to
Percival one morning:
Il want TO have a talk with you, son."
''AI right, Uncle Peter was the cheerful
answer. He suspected the old man might at
last be going to preach a bit. since for a
week past he had been rather less expan-
sive. He resolved TO listen with good grace

About two weeks ago I sawed off the
right leg of a young man who had been
injured in a railway accident" said a prom
inent surgeon yesterday. 'Of course, the
chap had to take ether, and when he came
to he seemed to recover rapidly. 1 asked
him how his severed member felt and he
replied that, while he missed ii very much,
yet he seemed to feel peculiar sensation
where his foot should have been. We kept
him in the hospital for two or three days
before he was removed to his home, and
all the time he complained OF this peculiar
sensation-said it felt as though one of his
toes were crossed. The leg was buried,
is usual. day OF SO ago, on my visit, he
became so positive about that crossed toe
that 1 really believed the young man was
suffering from a Authorization. However.
he kept complaining, and, finally, We de-
cided to dig up the leg. Now, then, the
strangest part of it was that the big toe
was crossed with the next one to it, and
carefully placed those toes as they should
be. This was all unknown to my patient,
and on my next visit L casually asked him
If he still felt as though his toes were
crossed. why, no, he replied; about 10
o'clock yesterday that Irritating pain
stopped, and l can tell you it was a big
relief And that was the hour when l UNI
crossed those toes. A most singular ex-
perience, and do not know how to account

A question of much Importance is dis

Astronomy" by w. II. s. Monck a we'll
known English writer on stellar science.
Two general theories have been advanced
10 explain the origin OF meteors One is
that they are the wrecksge OF comets
While there may be doubt as to the
completeness with which this idea covers
the matter, Ii certainly fits a great many
cases. Ii has been shown satisfactorily
that the swarm of tiny bodies which was
encountered on the occasion of the great
meteroric showers of early November In
1S3S-'34 and lS66-'67, and OF which traces
were detected in 1sOo-'0i. travelled I'm the

manner the swarm giving rise to the show

(the AndromedeZ), followed the path of
Biela's comet, which itself disappeared a
quarter of century ago, and which ex-

While the chemical composition OF these
objects may be almost identical with that
OF the other ones. Mr.. Monck inclines to
