I have seen some extensive bums and scalds cured by the above simple plan. Another excellent remedy is, cottonwool of superior quality, purposely made for surgeons. The burn or the scald ought to be enveloped in it; layer after layer should be applied until it be several inches thick. The cotton-wool must not be removed for several days.
Yet strong measures were necessary. "I don't like to wallop a sick man," Shorty explained, his fist doubled menacingly. "But I'd wallop his block off if it'd make him well. And what all you lazy bums needs is a wallopin'. Come on! Out of that an' into them duds of yourn, double quick, or I'll sure muss up the front of your face."
All the low elements lurked here, the thugs, strong-arm men, the hold-ups, the heelers, the weaklings, the bums, the diseased. In ordinary times they here dwelt in a twilight existence; but at periods of excitement as when the city burned they swarmed out like rats for plunder. Krafft held his way steadily to the wharves. There he left the causeway and descended to the level of the beach.
They had been making a "Preparedness" picture, and wanted to show the agitators and trouble-makers, mobbing the palace of a banker. They got two hundred bums and hoboes, and took them in trucks to the palace of a real banker, and on the front lawn the director made a speech to the crowd, explaining his ideas.
The crowd of Mexican bums had not appreciated my kindly greeting as I rode up and it seems did not take kindly to being scattered by bullets. And not realizing that I could have killed them all, just as easy as I scattered them, and seeing there was but two of us I and my horse they had summoned sufficient courage to come back and seek revenge.
Here it is secretly owned by the capitalists and in Europe by the aristocracy. Don't tell me I know. The army is made up of bums. If I'm a bum I became one then. You will see fast enough what fellows are in the army if the country is ever caught and drawn into a great war." Becoming excited the socialist raised his voice and pounded on the bar. "Hell, we don't know ourselves at all," he cried.
Roger smiled. "And believe me, you really gave it to those two space bums!" "Yeah," agreed Astro, "but I don't think even you could do much for Loring. He's just born to smell bad!" "Never mind that," said Strong. "I suppose you heard the part about the assignments?" The three cadets assumed looks of pure innocence. "We didn't hear a thing, sir," said Tom.
And also, some little less thought of perhaps, the Phoenix, Secular Bird, that bums itself at the end of each cycle, and arises from its ashes young and dazzling again: the Phoenix but little thought of, these days; for was not the world old and outworn, and toppling down towards a final crash?
As we passed the portals of the Arts Building, a noisy, rackety crowd of boys evidently, to our eyes, schoolboys came out, jostling and shouting. They swarmed past us, accidentally, no doubt, body-checking Mr. Sims, whose straw hat was knocked off and rolled on the sidewalk. A janitor picked it up for him as the crowd of boys passed. "What pack of young bums are those?" asked Mr. Sims.
Among the other guests, consisting of craftsmen, market women, and bums, there were also several who made clandestine signs at him, as if they would have liked to tell him something, which they could not have dared to say aloud. "Sir," whispered the kind-hearted old man, "be on your guard against that fellow. You're dealing with a very bad character.
