UNDERG0ES 0PERAT'N

Rochester, Mimi, Dec. 27.-One OF
the strangest operations ever per
formed at st. Mary's hospital was
that which six year old boy under

of MIR. and Mrs. Lyman D. Page of
Sentinel Butte, N. D. The parents,
who are both trained nurses of the
Rochester state hospital before mar
riage, noticed "a dump growing near
the shoulder of the boy and at first
it caused them emo uneasiness. It's
size kept increasing, however, until
it was evident that the obstruction,
whatever it was, should be removed.
Upon examination here, it was
found that an extra rib had grown on
the boys right side, just below the
shoulder blade. The rib was articu-
lated on the breast bone, just as any
normal rib is attached, but it was de-
cided to be a detriment to the boys
development, because it was pressing
upon nerve '2enters and might in time
cause paralysis. The operation was
successful, and it will he but a short
time before Master Page will he able
to return to his North Dakota home.

DAN Russell GIVES
CHRISTMAS Dinner
TO MANY FRIENDS
OLD AND NEW FRIENDS HELP TO
CELEBRATE HOLIDAY.
HAS A PICTURE TAKEN
Good Piece of Evidence In Favor of
North Dakota Ranchman in Fight
for Fortune Is Secured in Boston
Photograph Gallery - Dan Sends
Greetings to Friends.

Boston, zee. 27.-There was jolly
Christmas party at the Parker house
when Daniel Blake Russell, the
North Dakota ranchman who is fight
ing a. bitter court battle for a half
share of the fortune of his father, en-
tertained at Christmas dinner, his
counsel, Senator Simpson, Mrs. Rus
sell and a dozen friends.
Around the banquet board were
schoolday friends OF the claimant and
new-found friends, who are aiding
him in the court battle. Although
they were eating their Christmas din
ner 5000 miles from nome, the ranch
man and his wife thoroughly enjoyed
the dinner. and were in happy and
hopeful mood.
A remarkable incident in the life
of the claimant in the famous hear
ing occurred yesterday at the Studio
of a Boston photographer. The
claimant had been sought by many
of his friends for a, likeness of him
self, and having two days of leisure
before resuming his testimony in
cross-examination, he decided upon
sitting.
Accompanied by one of the Melrose
friends of his boyhood, he proceed
ed to the artists rooms, and, after
divesting himself OF his overcoat, sat
down at his ease to await the pre-
parations of the man in charge,
thoughtlessly assuming one of his ia
vorite positions, with his right arm
thrown carelessly over the back OF
the chair.
Don't move Mr.. Russell; sit just
as you are a moment. l want to
take a negative Of you
A proof print was made as quickly
as possible (while Daniel Russell was
posing in other positions before the
camera), and when a photograph Of
his father taken a year or two before
his death and sitting in precisely the
same attitude that Dan had uncon-
sciously taken was produced.
Dan was overwhelmed with sur
prise and joy, for the only picture he
has of his father, taken since he left
home, was an old one presented to
him by the firemen Of Melrose, who
were friends of Daniel Russell, ST.,
for many years. Even that Is now
impounded by the court as one of the
exhibits.
The following Christmas greeting
to friends was written by the claim
ant in the Russell case last evening:
II regret that am so busy that I
have no time for shopping, much as
I would like to send Christmas
present to every one Of my loyal
friends-not only those of my boy
hood, but the new acquaintance who
have stood by me and have given me
their confidence and support.
This has been Of great comfort to
us in these trying days; and I wish
to give them my hearty thanks and
my best wishes that they all may
have a happy Christmas and New
Year, long life and all its blessings
and pleasures.
Daniel Blake Russell"
