first stages of the operation were suc
cessful.
A tubercular condition of both bone
and fiesh of the heel developed follow
ing the accident, and doctors who had
examined Ila mil too told him lie would
be crippled permaueatJy.
Ur. Reinhoff, however, suggested re
storing the heels by plastic adhcGion.
The operation provides first for the
removal of the tubercular part of the
heel. Then the calf of Hamilton’s
other leg is bisected to the bone its en
tire length uue the turo-shorteoed heel
inserted in this wound.
Hamilton will be compelled to re
| main in one position from three weeks
to a month, during which, it the opera
tion continues successful, the fiesh of
the heel and the fiesh of the other leg
will grow togethei, giving Hamilton a
new heel from the flesh of his leg.
When the adhesion process is com
plete, another operation, separating
the heel from the leg, will be per
formed, and Hamilton will have only
the scar in the back of his leg to show
for his injury, Dr. -Reinhoff declares.

“You’re out!’’ the umpire curtly said;
Up rose an angry throng
To throw pop bottles at his head
And prove that he was wrong.
They booed, they hissed and called
him names,
They jeered in rage aud hate
The way they do at baseball games,
For that’s an umpire’s fate.
But when the cries had died away
And silenced was the shou.t
And when the teams resumed their
play
The man called out was “out.”
