ccssful enough for further
"speculatin'."
There is a silver plate in
Kennedy's left leg which has
an incredible history. He says
he got it "mail order from
Uncle Sam."
A veteran of the Spanish
American war, 1898, Keane
dy says he was wounded in
action and wa; sent to Chi
ii o for hospitalization.
There, after year in bed, he
managed an escape from a
hospital upper floor to avoid
a leg imputation.
Unable to wall, but with
the help of a taxi driver,
friends and t "nursie" he trav
eled, at midniht down a
rope of knotted sheets. By
morning he was In Toronto,
Canada, he relates, and be
fore long, by train, had gone
to the end of the line into
Saskatchewan.
kf Staliontier
"The station master looked
at me," Kennedy recalls.
"There I sat, injured, no ex
tra clothing."
"Where are you going?" he
asked. "No place, I stay
here," Kennedy declared. And
a reluctant stationmaster fix

of the station house.

nedy relates with a smile, "he
says to me, 'You come with
me,' and he puts me In a rig
with a driver and a fou.iorse
team, and sends me down the
road."
"Those hones pulled
through mud up to their
knees until we cam to a hospital-!
a mile it cost for the
trip."
They took me to a lady, a
'natural doctor'," and tba old
veteran descrlbas the treat
ment he got from that "doctor.'.
Woodaa Barrel
She brought a -Wooden
barrel, cuUn half, full of boil
ing water.I looked In. 'Put it
in,' she ordered, and in went
my leg."
"Was it hot?" a thick-head
ed listener asks. "Hot?" he
sighs, "yes-s, it was hot and
a little girl added two hot
bricks."
The skin pled. The, cUad
flesh came off. And the lady
gave the leg careful treat
ment for many days.
One day sha said, "I've
done all I can. We must hava
a silver plate." "Silver alato?"
Kennedy says he. askwL "I
can get it." And ha declares
he ordered it from tke U.I.

Anyway, the plate is there,
in the left leg, for you can
hear it when he thumps his
shin to emphasize the truth
of the story, and he shows
the knotted veins whra fe
says the natural doctor tied
them off.
"You want to knot whara
wa got tha skin to cover it?'
He slaps his thigh. "Right
there, she cuts me with a
razor black and I didn't fal
a thing."
The, leg healed and Xannar
dy says he tried to walk. "I
couldn't," (with a shake of
his woolly heati) "not afaar
two years in bed." But tha
"little nursies" helped and
soon he walked doira the hall
and back; later "down the
path to the barn and back."
It was six months, maybe
more, maybe less, before he
was ready to leave.
"I asked, How much?,' but
she Wouldn't take my money-
I had $700 army pay. There
was a little girl peeking from
behind her skirts and I called
her." Kenned;- crooks his fin
ger and motions. "But the
little girl said, 'Mama said,
"Don't take th) money" "
