BOY GIVES SKIN TO SAVE SISTER.
MESSENGER LAD SUBMITS TO AN OPERA
TIoN-BoTH WILL RECOVER.

couple Of weeks ago Alice Kessler. ten years
old, who lives with her parents at No. II Ell
dridge-st. was taken to the Gouverneur Hos
pital with her right leg and side severely
burned, the result OF an accidental scalding.
The injuries quickly healed. all except a spot on
the little girls right thigh. Last Saturday the
physicians at the hospital had decided that
grating operation would be necessary in order
fully to restore the child. They went 10 the
home of the parents to inform them of what
was to be done, and next went to seek some
body willing to undergo the painful and often
dangerous operation of having pieces of his own
flesh and skin removed, enough to cover the
spot the little girls thigh that would not
heal
The girls brother. Joseph, messenger boy,
returned home after having finished his days
work. He was jubilant. He brought with him his
weeks wages. Not only was a weeks drudgery
at an end, but he to get a two weeks vaca-
ton. AS he heard the serious matter under dis
cussion he suddenly became grave. All of
sudden he went up to the physician and said:
We'll, doctor, / guess it is up to me to help
Alice out of this trouble. You can take me il
you think IL will be any use"
The boy gladly went to the operating table
From flesh and skin taken from his cheek and
other feshy parts of his body healing is coming
to his little sister and he is content. They are
lying side by side in the hospital ward. Both
making rapid strides toward recovery.

TO a strong promise OF a thunderstorm the

Justice when occasion requires. The
developments of the Havana postal
scandal not long ago revealed TO some
who had known him this other phase
OF the man. When the full story of
the scandal first became known In
Washington, there was a gathering in
the cabinet room at the White House
which will not soon be forgotten by
those present. The look on the presi-
dents set face and the short, sharp
sentences which came from his lips
will live In memory. Before the tenn
per OF that council all questions OF rel
alive responsibility, all inclination to
express incredulity, all feeling OF per-
sonal friendship for the suspected, any
thing which might tend TO minimize
the Importance of the discovery was
dissipated. The heads OF departments

the knowledge that the full power Of

None of these SMILES fits the case

Roosevelt has written his own descrip-

he has said. You have but to reflect
on his record to believe that he has told

Energy, fearlcssncss and honesty are
