Couldn't Sleep Until She Had Read
The News Through.

KENNARD, NEB Aug, %, 1894.-DEAR
EDiToR.-l received sample copy of the
BRECKENRIDGE News at s o'clock last
night, could | sleep2 no not until every
word was read and it seemed Just like a
good long letter from some dear old
friend from home, as | lived eighteen
years OF my life in old Breckenridge
county and as consider childhood the
happiest part OF my life was spent among
the hills OF old Breckenridge, near old
Freedom church. How ! did want to
spend week with old friends there this
summer. could hardly bare to see my
friend Miss Norton go without going too,
but when ! would think OF those hills
and rocky roads, then would stop and
wonder how would look on horseback
and just think how cruel 1t would be
TO put 245 pounds on horse to climb
those miserable hills. expect a great
many OF my friends would be surprised
to see me now and few would know me.
When left old Breckenridge county l
only weighed 1888, now weigh 245. So
you can readily see l have had few
square meals before the one l set in
honor OF Miss Norton. I would like 10
say great deal more but as this may
be too lengthy already will close by cor
recting one mistake. IL was l.. 4. Vor-

Yours with respect.

Col. Bennett II. Young paid glowing
tribute to the women of the south in his
admirable address on that subject before
the meeting of the Orphans Brigade at
Russelville last week. In the course OF
his remarks he said "The most eloq-
uent tribute to the iaithfulness and the
devotion of the women OF the south and
the grandest OF all the monuments TO
their heroism, will be found in the GEN.
etries of the Confederacy, and in the in
scriptions on the stones which mark the
resting places OF the dead. You can
read in few simple lines the most burn
ing tributes 10 the sacrifices the women
made to maintain the civil war The
sad words show the kind Of men the
south offered on the alter OF patriotism"

profitable reading shows the sweetness
OF every day life, and unconsciously
perhaps, she takes up life and make it as
fruitful as those OF the noble models
held up for her emulation. Lay aside
the highly spiced, romantic stories OF
runaway marriages, impossible heroines
and thrilling experiences, and read OF
the higher, nobler lessons OF life. We
should choose book more car fully
than companion, for written sentences
are more lasting than spoken words. We
have no aristocracy on this side of the
great expanse of water save that aristoc-
racy Of intellect, and our boys and girls
should bear 1t in mind. Money is
mighty lever, but it don't bring character
nor make happiness. General informa-
ton is so lacking with.many Of the young
people. Reading alone will bring it, and
| believe proper reading learns us more
of the right application of words than
text hooks, and that by reading we get
at the correct use Of prefixes and suf-
fixes better than out Of dictionaries and
Towns Analysis, that is, taking it for
granted, we read for instruction and not
mere pastime. Reading certainly aids
in Frightening ones conversational
powers, and not only contributes to
others pleasure, but is vast source OF
solace TO oneself. II you haven't had
the advantage OF good school, make IL
up by self improvement. The long
nights will soon be upon us-you can ac-
complish wonders this winter II you will.
An interesting subject was sprung in
Sabbath school last Sunday: "What is
water baptism2' Miss Lula Lewis
threw some original thoughts on the sub
ject. Etheiel Cheary took issue, and the
discussion was lively and instructive.
Lula has level head and has clear,
forcible reasoning powers, while Etheiel
isn't far behind her and is well posted.
We do not merely get our lessons and go
to Sunday school to recite them, we go
to exchange ideas. hear each others
views, and thus be mutually benefited.
Don't be afraid to ask questions, Daniel
Webster was proverbial for asking ques-
tons.

THEY are trying TO do up Ash Caruth
in Louisville for Congress this year, but
we think some OF his opponents will find
it an uphill business before the job is ac-
complished. Ash taught country school
down here in Breckenridge INVENTIVE
years ago, and one OF his patrons went
over one day to whip Ash for some mis-
treatment 10 his child. Meeting Caruth
on the road, the old man said "hold on
there Caruth, I've got settlement to
make with you. Why did you strike my
boy yesterday ?" Because your boy hit
me, said Caruth. Well said the old man
~ don't allow any one gallused country
school teacher to strike my boy, and sir,
I'm going TO threash you" Ash didn't
scare worth cent, so he and his antag-
onist went at ID right in the big road.
The old man got a little the better Of
Ash, but he didn't find him a coward by
any means.

sKIN-GRAFTING OPERATION.
Volunteer Responses OF Subjects
in Behalf Of Little Sufferers.

..
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 25.-Fully
800 young men and women assembled at
the home of Fred Mahl, willing TO
take part in the heroic skin grating op-
Grafton to save the life of the siX-year-
old girl. For six weeks the child has
endured untold agony on account of
burns received while playing about
fire. Her body was mass Of raw burns
from above the waist to the knees, and
her life was despaired of by the city
hospital doctors, who gave her Up. a
month ago DrS. Feree and LukenbilI
took the case out of charity, and finally
decided that the little sufferers life
might be saved by grating abO ut $50
inches OF cuticle. They appealed to
the public, and this appeal resulted in
bringing the crowd TO the home or the
child, ITO johnson street, Monday. The
front room OF the cottage was packed
with volunteers, and large crowd
without awaited notification. The case
has excited general interest and sympa-
thy, and representatives of the Flower
mission and German Ladies' Aid soci-
etieS were present to see that the child
had every attention in the way of nurs-
ing.
Eight young men were selected to
start with. The doctors barred an arm
of each subject and washed the skin
thoroughly before beginning to cut.
One doctor drew the skin tight on the
arm and the other handled the razor.
Not one of the subjects complained of
pain. By a rapid movement of the
keen-edged instrument strip of skin
was removed from each about four
inches long and one inch wide. In each
case the volunteers donated three strips.
One young man. a member of the high
school football team, said the operation
was less painful than the Injuries re-
ceived in an ordinary practice game.
The doctors had asked for volunteers
between the ages of sixteen and twenty
five years. Those who stripped were
all men about twenty years old and as
healthy looking as could be desired.
After removing the skin it was placed
in an autiseptic solution and
washed before being applied to
the body Of the child. AS these strips
were laid gently on the raw surface the
sufferer would cry out with pain. 1t
was pathetic sight as, with tears In
her eyes, she hugged to her breast a
little doll. one of the many presents
brought by the numerous ladies taking
an interest IN the case. She has been
patient sufferer since she received her
injuries, and brave at all times. Last
week several inches were grated. and
only one-tenth failed to take root. To-
day ninety-six additional inches were
grated, and if they do as we'll the child
will soon be fast nearing recovery.
Enough skin was offered yesterday 20
cover the child's entire body, but as tie
operation is so painful TO the sufferer
the doctors think il best to make prog
ress slowly. The operation will be con
tinued from time to time until all the

death would have soon resulted in all
probability. and Drs. Kerr, Magruder
and Kleinschmidt held consultations
about the patient. Finally it was de-
clded that the operation could ITO longer
be postponed, and the lad was wheeled
into the operating theater Of the hos
pltal and rendered unconscious by all
aesthetics. Then DIR. Kerr used the
knife i'll the effort 10 remove the pres
sure of the bone upon the cord. The
operation was done privately, and as
soon as 1t was over the patient was re-
moved TO his room. The result will not
be known for some time, but it is hoped
that the young man Will survive.

Sherman Martin was only twenty five
years old. When he was IN his teens
his parents took him to London. They
plunged at once into the swift stream Of
London society and took the lad with
them. His parents went away from Lon
don for time, leaving Sherman in
charge Of tutor. The next thing they
heard was that he had married a we'll
known woman, and was living with her
at the Savoy hotel. Some Americans
who were stopping there at the time in
formed Mr.. and Mrs. Martin, and they
went at once to London. The name of
the young woman he married was Annie
Num-. 1t was reported in the newspa-
pers at the time that she was a ballet
girl at the Empire music hall, but she
came out in an Interview denying that
she had ever been on the stage. For a
time young Martin refused to leave his
bride, but he was ultimately induced to
take tour around the world in charge
of tutor. This was in the autumn of
1883. He has not seen his wife since.
though he has been unable to procure a
divorce from her, and she has persist
emily refused 10 sue for a divorce from
him. The Bradley Martins offered to
provide literally for her if she would do
so. She constantly advertised for him
in the newspapers, either as "diSap-
peared" or "abducted," and offered a
reward for information about him.
Young Martin had repeatedly told his
friends that he had only vague recol-
lection of the circumstances connected
with his marriage. lie asserts that his
friends managed it for him.
