He drew a small bone from the ankle
about the size Of q match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size Of an apple. and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc

ankle. The whole foot ran water all

Insane for Hiring Him.

This one was told OF the late Sen.
ator Dolliver. 1t is of the trial OF a
man for murder. who was undoubted-
ly guilty. but was acquitted, greatly to
the surprise Of the presiding Judge.
The Jury had been out two days con.
sidering the case. without reaching a
conclusion. Then the Judge called the
Jury into court and asked what the
difficulty was. The foreman said:
Judge. there is only one thing that
is troubling us. Was the prisoner
counsel appointed by the court. or re-
tanned by the prisoner himself?"
The prisoner is a man Of means
said the Judge. "and he retained his
own counsel"

tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, in which
it is shown that the percentage OF
deaths caused by tuberculosis In dusty
trades is more than double that for
all employed men in the registration
area of the United States. While
among males generally in the regis
tration area of the United States 14.5
per cent. of all deaths are from con-
sumption the mortality among grind
ers from this disease is 49.2 per cent.
and in hardly any of the dusty trades
is it below rs per cent. The percent
age of deaths from tuberculosis
among all those exposed to metallic
dust is 36.9 per cent; to mineral dust,
2S.6 per cent: to vegetable fibre dust,
2S.S per cent; to mixed animal and
