His mother hearing his cries, ran out to see what could be the matter with her "angel," and sreiDg his plight ran back into the house and soon appeared with a tea-kettle of boiling water, and was going to pour it on and thaw tho sticking nose and tongue out.

At this juncture a man came along who said he had been a boy oDce himself, and knew what to do. He stooped down and blew his breath on the iron where the tongue and nose were stuck, and after blowing' about a thousand cubic feet of hot air on the spots, released the boy.
