Of this product. In Westphalia, so 1t

than 400 different kinds of sausage.
Many substances enter into their COM
position.
There was sausage exhibition in
Germany when no less than 1000 va
rieties OF sausage were shown. A
facetious American has observed that
a good many Germans would rather
invent new sausage than anything
else. In this relation there is told
the story of a young Prussian who,
though he had received an expensive
training as chemist, shut himself up
in his laboratory and, instead of de-
vising a new dye, safety match, motor

He wanted the operation right

not undertake it right away, as 1 had

made a movement of his hand toward

the hospital at II o'clock I'll see what
can be done with your crooked arm"
At this he cooled down and said he
would be there. There were two hos
pital stewards on duty there at the
time-one a somewhat timid man
(Theo. Brown, and the other pow
erful. big, jovial Irishman (Tommie
Michel. I got Smith on a hospital
bunk, directing the first steward
named to administer the anesthetic,
while the other held his feet down.
On one side, on a small table, in easy
reach of my right hand, there was an
open general operating case.
1 had unbuckled Smiths revolver
belt and put his gun out of reach.
Then, removing the shoe from my left
foot. 1 put the latter in his arm pit.
and. taking him by the wrist of the
same side. begun a powerful extern
sion in order to break up the adhe-
sions at his elbow. He had fairly
commenced to come under the anes-
thetic when, to my surprise, he reach
ed back and whipped out an elegant
bowie knife Of the largest sort, and,
reaching up, seized Steward Brown
by the throat. He placed the point of
his knife over his jugular vein, re-
marking as he did SO: You green
striped -. take that stun
away from my face or Til run this
blade through your -- neck"
Brown turned as white as snow
and instinctively lifted the cone from
Smiths nostrils, while I, reaching to
the operating case at my side, had
in flash long hip amputating knife
in my right hand. and bending for
ward, SEIZED Smith by the hair. Put

shook hirss and said: Smith, do you

known by the entire military con-
stituency of the department. I'd been
in tho field with him and was IA
miliar with his wonderful use of the
revolver. his fearlessness and his en-
tire lack of bluff. He was one of the
bravest men / ever knew, as I real
lied on several occasions through per-
sonal observation. In garrison he,
once in while, got pretty heavily
under liquor. and when in that state
became very ugly and more or less
dangerous.
About two miles or moro up the
Laramie river there was a most dis
reputable place kept by an unprinci-
pied fellow, where the men land
sometimes off1cers) went to break the
tiresome routine of post duties. There
was a bar there, with billiards. a
varied assortment Of female inhabf-
tants and the rest. Whisky was 81
a drink and cigars SO cents each, with
all else in proportion. The whisky
was a brand of firewater that would
melt diamonds in less time than 1t
takes to mention the fact.
1 was often called there, and was
present when some Of the flying lead
found its mark. Big Bat had some
very unpleasant experiences there
which I will describe some other
time.
Under peculiar circumstances 1
went there on a stormy. dark day.
and two other officers were to meet
me for a certain purpose. Capt. Col
lier of the 4th Infantry. a man of
tremendous physical strength, was
ono Of them. When I came into the
barroom. a dark and gloomy place.
there were two sets Of men playing
poker "for the drinks" The tables
were short boards on the tops of
two barrels. 1 was invited to Join
them. sort Of an invitation the
surgeon was invariably expected to
accept. and did on this occasion.
Big Bat was in the set I sat down
with, and it fell to me to pay for
''the next drinks" 1 saw Bat was a
bit hit, as he stood next to me. He
took me to task for giving orders at
the post not to have the hospital
service free until he was re-enlisted
as a guide. He claimed he was enti-
tied to the service, enlistment or no
enlistment, and for a second time 1
informed him that he was not At
this he desired to know whether I
meant he was a liar, and let him
know that he could construe it that
way if he wanted to.
Pushing himself away from the bar.
he grabbed me by tho shoulder and,
whipping out his gun in a second, he
cooked it and showed the end Of the
barrel under my chin. I glanced
down and saw that it was loaded all
around. I was unarmed. Take that
back or your brains go up to the
roof"
I repeated my statement and said
further. 'If you say you are now en-
titled to hospital service you are not
only a liar, but - liar"
The two officers had arrived and
stood close to him. behind. Capt. Col
lier, as quick as flash. reached for
ward and, seizing Bat by his shout
der, gave him a. fierce jerk to ono
side. on went his gun directly in
my face, the ball just missing me by
hair. Over he went on the floor,
and 1 kicked his pistol out of his
hand, took another with the new ar.
rivals and returned to the garrison.
"Close CALL" said Capt. Collier.
"Yes. thanking you very much" I
replied.
Next day Bat wrote me an apology
