 Wants Artificial Leg
 ''l am man just past middle age. of an industrious nature, with good phvsioue and splendid health. On account of an accident my right leg was amputated and my right hand so crippled that 1t is diff cult for me to use crutches at all. My progress is slow. On this account I have had to become an inmate of the county aimshouse and my whole nature revolts asaiis. tue place peg sible that some cripple may have nassed away and left an artificial leg to some per son who would be willing to give it to me so that l may earn my living. My leg is orr between the knee and the hip. I will indeed be grateful for anything that will help me to regain the use of my limbs and help be to become self supporting.
 JOHN J'' At the first glance your request appears so extraordinary that l should not admit 1t to the Corner were it not for the pleas- ant memory of similar petition made to us two years ago. which was answered promptly by member who had discarded one style of artificial leg for another. The one passed over to was a perfect fit and gratefully accepted. Emboldened by the recollection, and mindful of the truth that what we have done we can do again l refer the brave fellows story to com mittee or the whole. The phrase means much in this connection
