They are ridden by the health rot' nla. They make themselves a nuisance. They get up at Impossible hours. They go out In silly little suits and run marathon heats before breakfast. They chase around barefoot to get the dew on their feet. They hunt for ozone. They bother about pepsin. They won't eat meat because It has too much nitrogen. They won't est fruit because It hasn't any. They pre fer albumen and starch to huckleberry pie and doughnuts. They won't drink water out of a tap. They won't oat sardines out of a tin. They won't use oysters out of a pall. They won't drink milk ont of a glass. They are afraid. Yes, sir, afraid.

While no one witnessed the accident, it is suppos ed that the mule threw the lad. The trace chains were loose ami the uufor tuuate eld 1(1 was entangled and dragged for a quarter of a mile, while the fright ened animal was running at a fast gait. The mule did not stop until it reached a rye patch near the house. It -was necessary to remove th<j chains from around the boy's legs and body, so tight ly had they become woven about him.
