Sunday evening while in bed he be-
came aware of the fact that his right
foot was quite sore and was swell
ing rapidly. Monday morning he
went at once to a physician and dis
covered that there was a nole in one
of his toes as big as a pea and blood
poison had already set in. How the
wound was caused has given Tom no
little query as he was not aware of
the trouble until Sunday evening. He
is now able to u around on crutches
but fC will be several days before ne
takes up his work on the wagon.

BLIND MAN Is A LOYAL
=. ROOTER FOR BROOKLYN
A. T. Pollock, siehtless Fan, Follows
Play with Accuracy Of
Good Seer.

Brooklyn has a baseball fan who
is totally blind. who is regular" at
Washington park, loyal and lusty
rooter for the home team, and none
so thoroughly enjoys the great ma.
tional sport. To sit near Arthur T..
Pollock during a game and hear his
! interesting comment on the plays and
players one could hardly believe that
he had never seen baseball diamond
Mr.. Pollock, who is clever pianist
is also a thorough sportsman He
plays golf, occasionally visits the race
tracks and has all the enthusiasm of
an amateur in athletic sports. He lost
his sight when only two years of age,
but has always enjoyed robust health
Early in life he became interested in
athletics and during his school term
at Adelphi, from which he was gradu-
ated in 1892, he was one of the strong
est supporters of ali the teams.
When business permits nothing
pleases the blind FAM" as his friends
call Pollock, so much as to get out in
the grass at Prospect or Fort Greene
park and bat out few flies" This
he does by dropping the ball from the
left hand and swatting at it as it falls
with the bat held in one or both
hands, and such is his marvellous judg-
ment that he seldom misses landing
on the horsehide. He knows the rec
ord in the batting and fielding average
of nearly every player in the big
leagues, and can remember the batting
order of each team.
A most amusing feature In recent
game was when one of the many
friends who accompany him to the
game said at one critical point: well,
there are two out and Casey is on
second. Now, If Batch can only land
on the ball"
NO." interrupted Pollock; that's
Lumley at the bat"
Pollock usually sits in the stand as
near first base as possible, as he likes
to keep the run of the play from COM
ments by the officials or those about
him. By the acute and remarkable
hearing instinct of the blind he can
generally distinguish between fouls
and bingIes, and his own running fire
of comments, such as well, did you
ever see anything like that?" or, Now,
come on, you Lumley! Swat 1t over
the fence" and wen show those
Quakers thing or two" keeps those
about him convulsed with laughter, in
which he always joins, for no fan ap.
plauds longer than Pollock

BLOOD POISON CASES.

From Trivial Wounds

Roy Hartman, painter at the ]. A.
Jones carriage shop is suffering with a
badly swollen hand which may de-
velope into a severe case of blood
poison. About ten days ago ne was
working in he shop AMI pinched one
of hts fingers, breaking a hole the
skin not much larger than the head of
a pin. Paint probably entered the
blood through the small opening and
although the wound was considered
but trifling for a number of days, il
has grown worse instead of better and
now his whole right hand is badly
swollen. Mr.. Hartman has had mis-
wound cared for by a physician for
the past week and believes that it is
somewhat improved, but the outcome
is still quite doubtful.

doubt that Doan's Kidney Pills are ex.
actly as represented. l suffered frOm
kidney com plant great many years,
more especially if caught cold when
it would settle in my back and kidneys
and cause my back to ache quite severe
ly, and this was accompanied by an all
gone weakness across my loins. StOOp-
ing, quick movements, mis-, steps, or
arising from sitting position brought
on sharp, shooting twinges. 1 passed
many sleepless and restless nights, suf-
ferlng dreadfully getting up in the
mornings sore and stiff across my loiHs,
scarcely able to go about and attend to
my business. I did everything I could
think of, was treated by doctors, but
no relief until began using Doan's
Kidney Pills. They gave me immed-
late relief and from the time I began
taking them until now, there has been
no return Of the complaint which from
all indications was thoroughly eradi-
Gated from my system. You are well
come to continue the publication Of
