disaster that befcll 1t.
AS boy of 3 with a dying soldier
father, he went to work feeding cane
al a molasses mill. One day the whir-
ring knives took one arm off at the
shoulder and the other at the elbow.
The first thing my boy said when
he came TO. said Mrs. Mary Eller, his
mother, was. Who will chop wood

But when Charley got well he learn
ed to chop wood with that stump. He
learned to do other things and when
he was 20 people came miles 10 see
him do the work Of q ;wo-handed man.
He can load sand as quickly as we
can, and he can beat us all driving,
teamster exclaimed when wandered
down 10 the Mississippi river to watch
Sunderland load his sand wagon.
When he grew up. Sunderland saved
enough money hauling wood to buy

does the biggest teaming business In
Alton. II is wonderful, the way he
drives, with the lines over his shoul-
der. wrapped around his half arm. He
can navigate all the turns and twists,
up hill and down as well as any team

arms and hands.
