GOING THROUGH THE NOTIONS
CoIored Man Used Rod and Line to
 Escape Hard Work

I had two hours to wait at a south ern railroad junction for the other train, and the first thing I noticed was a colored man fishing in a little pond near the depot, that was only two feet deep. I thought it strange if he could catch any fish in such a place, and after a while I wandered down there and asked:
 Well Moses. had any bites yet?"
 He shook his head without looking up. and half an hour later l repeated the question. It was answered by another shake At the end of an hour and a half, having seen no signs of success yet, I went down to the place and said:
 "I don't see what you expect to catch here"

 There can't be no fish here."
 "No, sah."

JERSEY CITY BOY

Discoyared.

New York Especial One of the
most remarkable medical cases on
record, in which the limbs of baby
six weeks old have turned to stone,

Hudson County Medical Society, in
Jersey City, by DR.. Karl Fl. Cold

dren's clinic at Mount Sinai Hospital
in this city.
The child so appalingly afflicted is
Benjamin Gordon, whose parents live
at 80 East One Hundredth Street.
DR.. Goldstone reported to his col
leagues that the child's limbs had
now become almost entirely as hard
as stone after gradually solidifying
since its birth.
The disease which is bringing
about this is known to science as
sclerema neonatorum, very rare all
ment. The child has been removed
to the children's clinic at Mount ST.
mai Hospital, where it is under close
observation by physicians.
The reading of the report created
a stir among the medical men, as
there are only eight known similar
cases. according to DR.. Goldstone, on
record
According to DR.. Goldstone, four
days after the child's birth it's moth
er noticed an unnatural hardness in
its feet and hands, which gradually
spread upward in the legs and arms,
until, two weeks after its birth, the
limbs up to the knees and elbows
were amazingly hard and cold. 9th
erWise the infant has been in APP
parent good health, giving very little
trouble, feeding regularly and hav-
ing no apparent trouble in digesting
its food.
The hardness kept spreading until
a few days ago, when 1t was removed
to Mount Sinai Hospital. The arms
and legs right up to the trunk of
the body were hard as rock and
stone cold Moreover, DR.. Goldstone
reports that its little face was also
hardening, as though fiinty mask
were being drawn slowly down over
its forehead. The cheeks were al
ready beginning to stiffen up when
the treatment was commenced. The
child is the subject of constant study
by physicians at the hospital.
