LIKE AN ENDLESS CHAIN.
Exchange Of Ears May Go On In
definitely.


The man who recently sold his ear
to a western millionaire for $4,000
offers $1,000 for an aural appendage
to replace the one he sold. At least,
so says DIR. C. v. Stebbins of Iron
wood, Mich. A Hungarian miner
from Hurley, Wis, called on the doc
tor and said he had received letter
from a friend in the east making the
offer named. The caller, whose name
the doctor refuses to divulge, made
many inquiries regarding the opera
ton of cutting off an ear and was adj
yised that no great danger attended
such a process. The mans manner
indicated that he might in the end
submit to the knife, but apparently he
desired further communication with
his friend in the east before doing so.
