THE GOOD TIME

We pass |||i‘ poorhouse as we
race, and wearily my frau re

It’s where we’re heading now.” 1
go in debt for gasoline, for Ibis
and that repair; but, oh, the
country’s bright aiyl green, and I
am happy there. We pass the
poorhouse as we scoot, and wife,
she says to me: “oh, mark it
well, my dear galoot, that’s
where we’ll shortly he.” 1 used,

chugging motor ears are all of
which 1 thiiijk. jjl’he clerks eon

am away, they take their coats
and lock the door, and fishing, go,
folks say. But merrily my good
ear spins, and on the poorhouse
grass the paupers sit and stroke
their chiles, and hail me as I
pass. WALT MASON.

• A. H. PINKUS, Mgr.
m it •wnurwirfWT.
*fpt a Maaaawt Imartltit, of Cauro%
Vat Nat V«*y painful.
«i wm iM.to jto mtt «m
i well faows amy omoer, "and I
lidnot'kirow it for awhile. It was
not, of course, a pleasant sensation.
It was just like the sting of a pin
jjr a knife when the skin is broken.
It was nothing to knock a man
iown. I knew of many eases dur
ing the war with Spain where a man
iid not know he was shot until
somebody showed him the blood
running down his shirt or trousers."
Similar testimony is afforded by
m army surgeon who has served
for many years. He treated many
gunshot wounds during his time
and was himself shot, a‘ circum
stance that qualifies him to give a
loubly expert opinion.
“A ininie ball passed through my
left leg at Shiloh,” says this sur
geon, “and I did not experience
sny particular sensation except,
perhaps, one similar to being jab
bed with a sharply pointed knife. I
felt the ball go through the skin,
but it gave no sensation in passing
through the muscles. That, of
course, is on account of the greater
number of nerves in the skin as
compared with the muscles. The
ball passed almif t entirely through
my leg and was removed a consider
able time later, but I suffered al
roost no inconvenience.
“The wound, of course, swelled,
as any wound of the kind will, but I
should imagine that the bullet now
in use would cause much less trou
ble and pain than the old round
bullet, as the sharp point of the
coniea] bullet enters the flesh very
readily.”
There is a great deal of misap
prehension as to the intensity of
the pain caused by the entrance
into the human body of various ob
jects. Many persons fancy that if a
man is shot at all he must there
fore suffer intensely. The reverse
is true. A slight wound, a mere
abrasion of the skin, is sometimes
far more painful than a wound
caused by the entrance of a bullet
directly into the muscles or even
into a bone. The skin is filled with
nerves, and when any of them are
torn by the ball the pain is extreme.
If the bullet plunges directly
through the skin into the body the
only nerves disturbed are those in
the comparatively small space the
bullet strikes. Since there are few
nerves in the muscles, the nerves of
the skin convey the sensation of
pain to the brain.
In the same way the greater por- .
tion of the pain experienced in the I
amputation of an arm or a leg is ,
occasioned when the skin is cut, and
the subsequent cutting of the mus
cles and the sawing of the bone, in |
which all the pain is popularly sup
posed to bo centered, amount to
little in comparison. — Harper's
Weekly. j
Why He Enjoyed It.
A noted comedian was walking
down Broadway, New York, when a
huge crowd attracted his attention. |
He joined the crowd to find that it j
was watching a handful of laborers •
who were digging a hole in the j
street.
“Odd, ain’t it,” said a manager,
“how little it takes to gather a New
York crowd ? Here we arc, a couplo
of hundred of us, breathlessly
watching a few men shovel dirt- By
the way,” the manager added, “that
chesty chap in the pink shirt seems
to enjoy his job. Look at the showy
way he flourishes his shovel.”
“Why,” said the comedian, “that’s
Phatt, an ex-actor. You see, he
never played to such a large and ap
preciative audience before.” — Ex
change.
Unconcerned.
Recalling the horrors of war Gen
eral Sickles once said in a Memorial
day address:
“Those horrors were so ghastly
and so numerous that we became in
a certain sense hardened to them.
Not really hardened, but so it seem
ed. Our mood seemed almost like
the Chinaman’s.
“A Chinaman was employed as a
pook in Los Angeles at the time
when the Yellow river flood carried
off its thousands. Tho man’s mas
ter hurried to tell him of the ca
lamity, thinking it would- over
whelm him, but the cook’s only
comment was the calm and practi
cal one:*
“ ‘Plenty Chinamen left.’ ”—New
York Tribune.
Naming the Baby.
They were choosing a name for
tho new baby.
“1 think Esmeralda is too sweet,’
*:d one of the infant’s aunts.
•‘Alfreds is better and more un
common,” said another.
“How would Alvina do?” asked n
third.
“Hardly,” said the fond father. \
“You sccin to be getting away from j
the idea that this is a baby and not ■
la new kind of cigar.” — London
Graphic.
