Neither turbulent tempest, harsh chilling

spot with the charms of my dear Florida
home"

Nothing: is as

distributor. All the work-Or most all of the house fell upon her. Dittie found an excuse for avoiding everything that was troublesome or inconvenient and, on this occasion, she wanted to baste some lace on the blue dress?
 We'll, they had splendid walk. l won't pretend to tell you all they talked about; but they came home very rosy and good humored and hungry for sup per.
 Neither will venture to describe the Thanksgiving dinner, or the good minis ter's sermon in the morning. There were not so many people to eat the dinner, and the sermon had r heads to it; other wise, both of them were very much like those we have enjoyed to-day. Dittie wore the blue silk and looked beautiful in it-as was only fair, when it had cost her so much trouble. But, to Toms mind, little Nelly, iu her gray gown and scarlet ribbon, looked, when compared to her sister. like some gentle home bird, by the side of gay tropic songster, thing to love and cherish, and woo to live in your heart forever. So he felt that day-God bless her .-and so he feels now-and always will feel as long as he feels anything"
 There was little tremble in grandpa's voice as he concluded and he blew his nose rather loudly.
 'And did they get married?'' asked little Nelly on his knee.
 ''To be sure, my pet. What would be the use of love story that ended any other way? They were married after awhile and lived in New York a good many years and then the old house in Westfield being left vacant and sister Dittie gone to a home of her own, they added to it, added to it, that their boys and girls have room to be comforta- ble. And they are old people now, and live there still; and, every year, the sons and daughters, with their boys and girls come back and keep Thanksgiving in the old home with the old folks. And that's the end of my story.''
 The aunts and uncles all smiled at one another and, in an excited chorus, called out, Grandpa, grandpa,t tell us ain't you Cousin Tom?''
 Grandpa only laughed. ''I'm afraid Nelly will scold if I tell,'' he said.
 Little Nelly, grandma's namesake, looked up with wonder in her blue eyes; but the older ones, with the savory re- membrance of grandma's tarts fresh in their minds, raised an enthusiastic cheer and precipitated themselves as a body, kissing the soft old hands and the dear, withered face wherever an opening could be found.
 'sHow pretty grandma must have been when she was young" whispered Edith to Hal.
 'H-u-m, answered Harry, diplomatic ally. "Yes; grandpa was lucky man to secure good looks and good pie crust all at once-wasn't he, Dittie?''
 And Edith. grandma g pupil, ,whose gen. jus for domestic affairs had made her fa- nous among the cousinhood, blushed her prettiest.
 ''And, now,'' said grandpa. ''come away, children. My old wife has been smothered as long as is proper, l think. It is time for Blindman's Buff.''

How They May Be Induced to Lie Gle

How They May BE Induced to Lie Close
to the Head.
William Thomas of Birmingham,
describes in the British Medical Jour-
nal the following operation, hy which
he has succeeded in making flaring
ears lie close to the head. The oper-
alton consists in the removal from the
inner surface of the pima of an clip
tical piece of skin. dividing the carti-
lage down the center OF the exposed
cartilaginous surface and uniting the
margins of skin by sutures. The
widest part of skin removed should be
from one-half to three-quarters of an
inch. but of course this depends upon
the degree of deformIty. IL is neces-
sary to divide and turn back the carti-
lage. not only TO remedy the deform-
ity. but also to allow an easy approxi-
nation OF the skinImargins. and care
must be taken to avoid division of the
outer skin with the cartilage.
The later treatment consists in the
application of a small cottonwood pad
between the head and the pima the
latter being fixed by u bantlage until
healing is complete. Immediately
union takes place. and there is hardly
any perceptible scar. the skin of the
ear having great vitality. A simple
method of keeping the outstanding
ears back without any operation is to
fix them by piece of lint soaked in
collodioD and placed between the
pima and the head, the ears being
bandaged close to the head until the
collodion is firmly set. The adhereni
splint thus formed will hold the ear in
position for two or three weeks. when
it may be renewed. 1t is. however
only temporary measure. The prin-
ciples of the operation are applicable
to various malformations OF the pima

during the war. and also of some
miraculous escapes from death that he
had witnessed. Il saw fellow shot
clean through the body by a grapnell
said. THE shell came out behind
and killed mule, but the poor fellow
that was struck only gasped little
Tor air. and then he'kept on fighting
just as fresh as ever" The room be-
came very quiet and several looked
toward Tangle who was present
Tangle arose and looked meditatively
around. Il saw something of the
same kind as that " he began. 1T
was at one of the first engagements
we had when we went to the front:
There was soldier who stood right
beside me struck square in the head
with 3 twelve pound cannon ball. and,
gentlemen. he never knew it." The
old soldier who had told the first
story looked a little sheepish. and
several laughed little.
But" someone thought to inquire.
didn't it kill himp; Tangle looked
up a little bit surprised ''Oh. yes
certainly it killed him." he replied.
But then maybe it was all for the
best He might have lived TO tell tn,
story. It's probably just as WELL" h,
