the shock of his operation Tuesday
night, and that if no complications
developed his chances for recovery
were very favorable. Rodney was
taken to the hospital Tuesday even
ing after 1t was seen that blood
poison had made it useless to hope
to save his foot. DR.. Gibson ampu-
tated the leg above the knee, which
was necessary to save Rodney's life.
Everybody sympathlzes profoundly
with the lad and with his parents
and other members of the family.
Rodney is but 18 years old. The
loss of limb is most regretable
misfortune, but it by no means rem
ders one incapable of living a USE
full and happy life. Rodney's youth
will enable HIM to secure an educa-
tion and later take up useful and
lucrative profession, of which many
are open. The world will not OBJ
serve the handicap, and it is made
lighter to the one afflicted by the
manifold duties of a useful and busy
life.
