Nors—This story is based on fact; it is true so faras the two letters are concerned, which actually passed between a little girl and a gov- ernor. The day before Thanksgiving, and Mary Tolliver wassick. Poor Mary! How sbe had looked forward to annual festival! For weeks she had counted the days. Grandpa and all the rest had been invited tor that day. And now she was sick. She had tried to think she was well when her head ached the night before. But inthe morning the little face was flushed with fever, and there wasa family consultation. Then the doc tor was called in. “Just @ little ague,” the doctor said. Mary knew what ague was; she had had it before, but never at Thanks- giving time, “Can you get me well for to-mor- row?” she asked “I'm afraid not,” the doctor an- awered, witha kindly «mile. “You must be quiet for a few deys, and maybe youcan have your Thanke- giving next week.” So word was sent to the relatives not to come next day, as there would be no Thanksgiving at the Tolliver house. Two days after Thanksgiving the fever was all gone,and Mary was very quiet, “What is my little girl thinking of?” Mother Tolliver asked. “I was wondering it we could have a Thanksgiving day next week, as Dr. Brown said,” Mary answered, J “Ob, no! Mary, not till next year. You know the governor makes what he calls a ‘proclamation’ and tells us when to have Thanksgiving,” But Mary wae not satisfied. She thought all day, and made her plans, Monday morning she asked if she might write a letver. “Just my very own,” she said. Mother Tolliver gave leave very willingly. ‘‘But it must be short,’ she added. It was a short letter which Mary handed to her mother two hours later. This is what she said: “Dear Governor: Please can we have another Thanksgiving Day, and have it next Thursday? I was sick and so graudpa and the others didn’t come, and | could not eat any Turkey. Lain’t very big, but I like Turkey. Please let us have it. Your friend, Mary TOLLIVER ” “Won't you send it, mamma?” she pleaded. Mother Tolliver thought it would not hurt to send it, so the letter was sent that night “At the capitol the governor was very busy. It was near the end of his term, and he had a great deal to do, But he read Nary’s letter twice, and then called a messenger. “Billie,” he suid, “go down town and get the biggest turkey you can get, and express it, with alot ofcran- berries and celery, and all sorts of Thankegiving goodies, to this ad- dress.”” Then he called his clerk, and sent Mary a letter. Wednesday morning Mother Tolli- ver handed her the big envelope. This is what she spelled out: “Having been informed that Mary Tolliver was ill on the 28th of No vember, and was thus prevented from joining in the festivities incident to Chankegiving Day, I therefore re commend that at & convenient hour on Thursday, December 5, Mr. and Mra. Tolliver, together with their family and such young friends as Mary may choose to invite, assemble in the dinirg-room, and there with hearte full of thankfulness for coun- try, for home, and for the blessed influence of children, partake of such bounties as are usually served in Christian America on the day ap- pointed for National Thankegiving and that especial attention be given that Mary shall be bountifully sup- plied with such portions of the na- tional bird, and with such other —— are most congenial to “Just eee his name at the bottom, mamma—the governor’s name!” shouted Mary. “And the letter is all ot ribbons and red wax on the back. Just to think he did that for me!” “Yes, he did it for you, Mary, and you shall have your own Thanks- giving Day. But what will you be thankful for, a week after the time?” Oh! I'll be thankful I’m so well again. Willthat do? And can’t I just ae well be thankful this week as Inet?” And Mother Tolliver thought she could,—S: 8. Times, oA .

Nov. 21—Doctor Andrew L. Welden, of New York, per- formed the operation of grafting an ear upon the bead of a Western mill- ionaire, whose uame thesurgeonsays he is under bond not to reveal. The operation was to have been performed in New York, but District Attorney Jerome, it is said, inter- fered. Doctor Welden advertised for a man willing to sell an ear for $5,000, and of 300 applicants he selected a young German who conducts 4 res- taurant in New York. Doctor Wel den said t -day: “The operation has been perform- ed and promises to be successful | am un er b-gal contract and heavy bond not to reveal the name of my patient “Generally apeaking, he isa wealthy man from the West. How he lost oneear I do not know. It appears to have been cut off with a sharp in- strument. I believe he says it was accidental, but I never asked him to explain. “The operativn took place at a private hospital here, where I was assisted by a Philadelphia physician, aod one from New York. I think they will be willing to have their names known later. “The two men were placed in op- posite directions upon an elongated bed. One-half of the ‘volun. teer’s’ ear—the upper half—was cut off, together with about four inches of the skin behind the ear. This wap twisted around and fitted to a fresh ly prepared wound upon my patient's head. The half ear ia held in place by bandages, and the two men bound so they cannot move their heads. They must retain this position forat least twelve days to allow thecircula- tion to come through the flap ofskin that still remains part of the volun- teer’s scalp. “It this half-ear starts to unite properly, the lower half of the ear will be grafted in the same manner.” Kansas Grain “Tied up.” Great Bend, Kan., Nov. 20.—The failure of the railroad companies to furnish more cars and the power to move them is a serious matter here The tracks in the yards here are so filled with loaded cars that it is al most impossible for the grain men to have cars .when they want them. here are three grain firms here that handle sixty cars of wheateach aday from their buying stations west of here, unloaded and cleaned, with the exception of that used for’ milling purposes, is reloaded and shipped East Haruly a passenger train has been able to pass through the yards here in less than fifteen minutes for more than a week.
