the disease began to affect my limbs in

my body and were sharp and shooting.
They would suddenly shift from one

dynamite is not good to shine shoes
with, to eat or to feed to a cat. The
young experimenters with stolen dy-

Kelly, SO Sherman street, and Johnny
Martin, 81 Sherman street.
Sixteen sticks Of dynamite were
stolen from a case In an open box car.
When they found 1t was not good for
boys to eat they tried to force some
into the mouth Of the Zullo family cat,
much to the outraging Of that crea-
ture. Then they attempted to shine
their shoes with the greasy sticks.
The boys experiments were dlscov-
cred in time to stop their disillusion-
ment and dismemberment.
