QUEER THINGS ABOUT PAIN
Patient May Feel 1t In Limb That Has
Been Amputated, or In
Wrong Place.

Pain sometimes behaves In curl
GUS fashion. There was a soldier In
London, after the Boer war, who COM
planned of excruciating neuralgia pains
in his right foot. This very much
amused his friends, for he had lost his
right leg.
The explanation was that the pain
happened to be In the trunks Of those
nerves, which had sent branches to
the foot.
Sometimes patient comes to a
doctor complaining Of pain IN the
knee, and he is greatly surprised when
the doctor tells him that the site Of
the affection Is not the knee, but the
hip. We are all familiar with the
pain under the shoulder blade which
comes from an afflicted liver.
The stomach, too, can produce pain
In many parts of the body. A disor-
dered stomach will give us pain as
far away as the head, and, when one
gets cramp in his toe, it is often due
to acidity Of the stomach. Swallow a
pinch of soda and the cramp will dis
appear.
An aching tooth will produce neural
gic pains in the face, and very often
a violent pain at the back of the head
is due to the faraWay kidneys, which
themselves may suffer no pain at the
time.

"a Have a Good Job"

VAN buren,, ARK, July 19.-Utter
WEAKNESS of being merely a millionaire
IS the reason John O'Brien, of New
York, who has been missing for three
years, has advanced in explanation of
his long absence from the ken of his
old friends.
O'Brien is a former soccer football
star of Columbia University. He van
ished at the close of his college year,
in 1910. He was found yesterday in this
town, where he is working as an assist
ant engineer for the Missouri Pacific
Railroad.
why should l worry about being
heir TO 81, 200 OO0," said O'Brien to-day.
Il have a good job. When l convince
myself that l have made good in the
world l viii return home. l became
plumb tired of being a rich man with
nothing to do except play the society
game and study new ways to kill time.
Just now l wouldn't trade my $500 a
year position for the biggest fortune in
the world"
O'Brien added that his mother has
known of his whereabouts, though a ma
tion-wide search has been made for
him.

Pitcher AbleS Has
Tremendous Hands
Oakland Southpaw Can Easily
Palm an Ordinary
Baseball.

Los ANGELES July 19.-Harry
Ables. star southpaw OF the Oaklands
and the man whose work last year
the league and was instrumental in the
Oaks winning the championship, has a
wonderful pair OF hands.
Ables is a big man physically and
undoubtedly possesses the largest hands
Of any pitcher in the business An or
binary baseball can easily be hidden in
the hand of the big southpaw, and il is
to the size and strength of his hands
that Ables attributes much Of his pitch
ing ability.
Along with his big hands Ables wrists
are heavy and strong, so that delivery
that would ordinarily weaken the arm of
a less strong man has no ,terrors for
him, and if the condition of his hands
and wrists have anything to do with
his period of service as an active
pitcher, then he is due for many more
years in baseball.
Many clever twirlers have gone bad
and been compelled to lessen their
work because they had not the strength
to get the ball away with the neces-
sary snap of the wrist without firing,
his work is easy for him.
As the Coast League can boast a
pitcher possessing the biggest hands, at
the same time the player with the small
est hands is in the organization, Billy
KenwOrthy, of the Sacramento club, be-
ing barely able to grip a baseball. As
Ables' hands are an aid to him, Ken
worthy's short fingers are a detriment
to him Many a hard-hit drive that
would be handled with ease by an ordi-
nary fielder has to be handled with eX-
traordnary care by the Sacramento star,
as a baseball is to him as big as an in
door baseball would be in the hands of
the big Oakland southpaw.
