a small boy from amputation and the
subsequent grating of the cuticle of the
patients father upon the injured extremi-
ties. will be brought to "a successful
termination within the next few days at

Henry grabbed the front end OF the
trailer car. and as 1t swung around a
curve he was thrown 10 the ground. His
feet fell across the rail directly in front
OF the forward wheels Of the car and
were badly crushed.
Taken to Hospital.
Tire car was instantly stopped and the
unfortunate child was picked I'd IN
conscious and hurried 10 Georgetown Uni
versity Hospital. The preliminary exami-
nation Of the boys injuries resulted IN
tho opinion that amputaton of both feet
was inevitable
Later. DIR. W. c. Gwynn, a member OF
the surgical staff Of the hospital, took
charge OF the case. and determined TO re-
sort 20 heroic methods and attempt 10
save the feet Of the injured child. That
he has succeeded i'm his daring undertake
ing. Is evidenced by the announcement
made yesterday by the father Of the little
patient that his boy Will be brought
home this week and will be able TO use
his feet
After DR. Gwynn had restored the two
badly crushed feet. another difficult prob
lem confronted him IL was to graft new
skin over the raw surface Of the feet.
There was not place on the two in
jured members but which was bare OF

Guilty and he promptly volunteered 10
supply the needed skin.
Fathers Skin Used.
A long strip OF cuticle. several inches
wide, was taken from the thighs OF the
father and promptly transferred to the
feet OF the little sufferer. After nearly
two months since the skin grating was
made, the surgeons pronounce the opera
ton a success.

never complained. except when his moth

comotion Of tbs colonial period, is
still used, 1 wonder and wonder /;
for surely there lacks something un-
defnable when khis condition exists.
With sou there is no obstacle to
railroad construction whatsoever.
Your land is level your forests are
immense your waterways the best
Ia the world; your supplies for ev-
cry purpose useful to man are al
most limitless; and yet. the great
necessary implements for convent
ence and development exist not.
When one sees in great country
like Colorado, with upheaval of gran
ite and solid rock for thousands Of
feet. and great locomotive and rail-
way passes eliminating at the very
top--and beyond-with scarcely no
farming lands no waterways. and
no shipping points. sometimes for
for hundreds Of miles, and contrast
this with she conditions In st. Mary's
I've ask the cause.
And yet, have 70 ask Is man any
happier here than there? Do these
implements add more 10 bis bodily
comfort than the pure satisfaction
enjoyed by your people7 ! doubt
lit.
Now, my friend, as before stated,
l have given this much considera-
ton, and at this moment | am not in
q position TO do you great deal OF
good, and consequently do not offer
my aid.
! recollect also. that few Of our
citizens few years ago, invested
heavily In an enterprise known as
the Washington q Chesapeake Beach
Railway. and they were forced TO
take the enterprise into their own
hands TO their sorroy-not because
Itwould not pay-but becauseof I'm.
fortunate management
! hope at sometime or other TO visit
your nelghborhood: and that It may
not be inopportune to do something
for the community, and even for
your town. in which my fathers
father and theirs were born and
raised and which is very dear to me,
you may rest assured.
