RAFFLEs COW TO BUY LEG.
Ingenious Scheme of Man Disabled
 by Train.

If there is more than one way to skin . cat there is certainly more than one way in which to acquire a cork leg. The usual way Is to earn
 money and buy 1t, says the New York World The way adopted by Julius Thorne. who lives at Glens Falls, is to let COW raise herself and then raf!ie her of for a leg. Thorne was hit by railroad train about a year ago, and when the doc tors cut oil his left leg, disease of the bone set in. The injured man
 was taken home, where, while he lay on his back waiting for the bone to heal, he cast about for some means whereby he could procure cork leg. Being supplied with little in the way of the worlds goods, Thorn was forced to use his ingenuity. From a neighbor he bought for a couple of dollars sickly calf less than month old. This he raised on skinned milk provided by another neighbor who made his own butter, and in time the cali got strong enough to be turned out to pasture. Grazing around cost little, and while the calf was growing and fattening Thorne made baskets that he might have enough cash to winter the ainmal. By fall he had earned enough to more than do this, and recently he started raffle. All his friends took tickets, and when the drawing takes place Thorne will cele- brate by wearing his new cork leg.
