THERE FOR HIM.

Observe the careless green goods man
He doesn't have to worry,
Or when he goes out after coin
Undigniledly hurry.
For you a put this in your pipe
The sucker crop is always ripe.
He knows he will have time enough
To dawdle at his dinner,
That he a loaf most all the time
And still come out a winner,
That men with coin will lie in wait
To hand him money IN a plate.
He doesn't have to turn his hand
Or bend his back in labor.
He only has to exercise
His sharp and trusty Faber,
Inviting them to bring 1t in,
Then hold his sack to catch the tin.
That's why he wears a holy calm
About his placid features.
He knows full well the weakness Of
His simple fellow creatures,
And, knowing how to turn the trick,
He doesn't have to carry brick.

WOUND DISEASES.
The Effect Produced When One 10 Hit
by q Bullet.

by a Bullet.
A New York surgeon who saw serv-
ice in Cuba and the Philippines as a
volunteer in his profession was discuss
ing the subject of bullet wounds when
he was asked, What makes a man die
when he's hit by q bullet?'
There are three reasons" he replied
-"shock, hemorrhage and blood poi
soning. A bullet cuts It's way through
skin, muscle, nerve, bone and artery.
Then the wounded man falls to the
ground. That's natures little plan,
you know, for getting him on his back
and relieving the heart Of the heavy
work of forcing blood against gravity
into the brain"
what happens when he gets a bull
let through his brain?"
"Dies generally. If the bullet is a
Mauser, however, and If its velocity
be great enough, 1t is quite apt to pass
clear through the skull. piercing the
bone plate on one side, t~raversing the
intervening brain and breaking out
through the other side without killing.

ing the war in Cuba.
you see, if these bullets are travel
ing at a high rate Of speed they cut
through bone as clearly as does a ire
phine saw, leave no splinters in their
wake, destroy very little tissue and cut
their way neatly through the side. In
fact, it is an injury and a surgical op-
Grafton all in one"
"Why are lung wounds SC serious?"
the surgeon was next asked. els the
brain not as vital as the lungs?"
"Quite. But when a nan is shot
through the lungs a number Of big
blood vessels are cut, and he dies from
loss Of blood. Or the blood pours into
the fine network of the lungs and the
victim dies of pneumonia, Just as he
would do If he caught a chill. As a
matter Of fact, wound diseases, in the
majority of instances, are merely we'll
known diseases suddenly and violently
induced.
"Shoot q mar through the head, and
If he outlives the shock he dies as he
would do from apoplexy or inflamma-
ton Of the brain. Shoot him through
the heart, and he dies from the same
pathological cause as If he had rup-
tured aneurism of the heart. If it is an
abdominal wound, the man would prob
ably die of p%eritonitis, resulting from
the release of the stomach contents
into the cavity. In such q case death
would be due to the same cause as in
some cases Of ulcer in the stomach.
| Such a patient would die from blood
poisoning"
"What's the danger in flesh wounds?'
Septic poisoning mainly, and the
severing Of any important artery"
"What about flesh wounds in the
thighY
"Well, a man might bleed to death in
side Of five minutes If his femoral ar
terry were cut"
"What Of the hole where the bullet
went in and the other where it came
out?"
with the average revolver bullet
that is, the 80 caliber-they are too
small to matter much. They are only
dangerous inlets for poisoning mate
rial. AS to bone injuries, a rifle bullet
in full flight may nick a bone without
seriously damaging 1t, but in most
cases, as with the SO caliber revolver
bullet, the bone is badly %splintered,
and there's nothing for it but amputa-
ton. No milder course has yet been
