Men Give Skin
For Boys Body
New Jersey Boy Who Is Terribly
Burned Is Helped By Fathers
Friends

The second operation of skin graft
ing was performed last Monday on
William Colwell, 10 years old, at Nut
ley, N. j.
Sixty square inches of skin was
transferred from the arms of eight
men, friends of Mr.. Colwell,f to the
body of the boy, while, the boy looked
at the movements of the surgeons
with a smile.
At the first operation, two weeks
ago, forty square inches of skin was
transferred from four men, including
the boys father, and eighty square
inches more will be necessary before
the raw flesh is entirely covered. This
will require two more operations, and
when the surgeons have finished it is
thought that more than twenty men
will have given of their skins.
Long before the eight friends of the
family were called upon the boy had
been prepared for the operation. He
had passed out of the anasthetic and
was in cheerful frame of mind.
These are the men who contributed:
Irving Mack, William S. Wallace, Will
liam Fairbrother, John Feltus, John
Mackay, Milton Ryan, J. H. Epworth
Walter Ormsby and James Miller, all
of whom live in Nutley and work in
New York, and H. C. Brown, builder
of Brooklyn, relative of the boy.
The eight took their stand upon the
porch outside the room in which were
the boy and the surgeons. Because OF
the serious suffering the boy has felt
since he was burned in a fire two
months ago, each had a grim deter.
mination to give up what he could tt
help.
One by one each was called in. DIR
Edward Whelan of Nutley, who has
been in charge of the case, and DIR. E
c. Butler of Caldwell were the sur.
geons. The man was called upon tt
bare his arm, one of the surgeons
made an incision into the skin, anc
then gripped the loose shred of Skin
with pair of pincers. The surgeon
then cut and pulled until a strip OF
skin from two to three inches long ane
about three-quarters of an inch wide
was lifted free of the arm.
This was quickly transferred to q
spot on the boys left side, under the
arm, or little further back. Anothe,
incision was made, and another piece
of skin was torn and cut loose. Thi:
was transferred, and then the thire
and last piece of skin was strippee
from the arm.
The proceeding was the same in
each case-three strips of skin from
the left arm, then out to have the arm
bandaged and to make way for anoth.

When some of the men entered the
room an ignorance of just what they
would have to endure, and then the
shock of the sight of the BOYS raw
body and pity for it, weakened them
The boy lacked up the fading nerve
of these by remarks, which could
hardly be called jocose, but still had a
cheerful effect.

HAVE ARRANGED FOR THE
CHILDREN

Gollmar Brothers Show, which is
booked to exhibit one day only in Red
wood Falls, has made unusual efforts
to entertain the little folks as we'll as
the adults with wholesome and profit
able amusement. The date of a visit
by the Gollmar Brothers becomes a
veritable "children's day."
In this country there are hundreds
of large cities and good towns where
the Gollmar Brothers Show is popu-
lar. 1t is always accorded hearty
welcome and a liberal patronage
wherever it exhibits. The Gollmars
would like to please the children. of
every community, but it is physi-
cal impossibility for their circus to
visit at all Of it's towns at just the
right time. To do such a thing would
neoesSitate the dividing tho show,
and this they would not do. No mat
ter how small a town the Gollmar
Brothers Circus may visit, it is never
divided. 1t is one of the little rules
that has made the combination what
it is.
1t is fact that the Gollmars made
greater efforts, and haye gone to more
expense to entertain the little folks
than any other managers. Older peo-
pie can always find entertainment, but
it is the little ones that are neglected
by many. Almost one-half of the
space in the animal tent is filled with
objects of special interest to the little
people. The entire center is filled with
the finest Shetland ponies ever seen in
one collection. They are of all sizes
and colors. These ponies are used in
the magnificent parade to pull the lit
tie cages of the miniature menagerie.
Almost one side of the tent is filled
with little, cute and costly cages,
made in imitation of the larger ones.
These small cages are inhabited by
small animals, such as monkeys, etc.
In the circus proper, there are many
clowns, who are employed for the sole
purpose of entertaining the children.
Buster Brown is there, too.
In addition to these attractions
must be added the several acts of
trained animals. The child who is so
fortunate as to have enjoyed such
amusement is winning much in an
educational way.

Miss Wilson Married.
800 Guests At Wedding At
The White House.

With smiles of confident happiness
turned toward each other, Francis Bowes
Sayre and Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson,
second daughter of President and Mrs.
Wilson, were joined in marriage Tuesday
afternoon, 25th inst, at the White House
before company of disting uished Off
Gals of the United States government,
members of the diplomatic corps, close
friends and relatives.
1t was scene of rare brilliancy, touch
ed through the 10 minutes of ceremony
with grave solemnity as the President
of the United States stood before his
wife, their faces a study in deep emotion
as they gave in marriage the first of
their children.
With a pretty double-ring service the
couple were united before an altar of
palm ferns, and white lilies. The as
semblage spoke the Lords prayer, the
Marine Band struck up the wedding
march of Mendelssohn, and from that
moment the whole was transferred into
scene of gayety, animation and joyful
ness.
A reception for the guests by Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson and the welded
couple followed, and soon the East Room
was cleared of it's carpets and the young
folks danced we'll into the evening.
When the guests had gone the bridal
party sat down in the breakfast room
and the bride cut the wedding cake with
the sword of DR.. Carey T. Grayson, U.
S. NJ, the President physician and COM
panion. Then there was merry dinner
and affectionate good-by, and the couple
whired away in White House automo-
bile on their honeymoon.
Their destination was kept secret, but
in few days they will sail for Europe.

Tete-a-tete At Depot.

The Western Maryland depot at this
place served as meeting place for two
persons, on matrimony bent, last Sunday
forenoon. The gentleman in the case
was Mr. Emanuel G.. Fink, who adver-
tised in the Frederick papers for a wife.
The lady arrived here on the Cos train
from New Windsor and tete-a-tete was
carried on between the pair until the ar
rival of the ll.0l train, the lady going
to Hagerstown and Mr.. Fink returning
by trolley to Frederick.
Mr.. Fink told the agent, Mr.. Harry
Ruch, that he thought the lady pretty
nice" and asked him if he did not think
the same way. Mr.. Ruch agreed with
him.
We have had no way of learning the
lady's opinion of Mr.. Fink, but it is said
she held paper in a position to obscure
her view of Mr.. Ruch. The genial agent
should arrange Il coy corner and hang a
few lunches of mistletoe about the wait
ing room for the convenience of persons
matrimonially inclined.

One Hundred Farmers Sued
Changers Insurance Go. Trying
TO Collect Assessments.

Changers insurance 20. trying
TO Collect Assessments.
Suits against more than 100 Frederick
county farmers have been filed before
Justice Fabian Posey by the Changers
Mutual Fire and Storm Insurance Co.,
of Carroll county, to recover assessments
of 10 per cent. upon the premium notes
held by the insured in the company.
The name is misnomer, as the COM
pany has been doing only a storm insur-
ance business, insuring buildings and
crops against storm, although no wind
damage to crops was collectable. The
company carried most of its insurance in
Frederick, Howard and Carroll counties,
where in the summer of 1912 there were
a number of storms in these counties,
and on many of the farms upon which
the company had it's insurance, buildings
were wrecked, crops cut by hail, which
the insurance Unidentified, and other
damage done, so that the company found
itself compelled to pay a large amount
of damages.
In order to meet the payments, the
company laid an assessment upon the
premium notes of 10 per cent. 1mmedi-
ately the insured claimed that it was
represented to them that they were not
to pay over four per cent. upon the face
of their premium notes, and many re-
fused to pay. Some few have paid.
Efforts to compromise have been made
time and time again, and quite few of
the insured have compromised with the
company. With the ones sued, it is ex-
pected that if they pay anything it will
be only when the court of last resort says
they must. E. l.. Coblentz represents
number of the insured, Stoner and Vein
berg, another large number, D. Princeton
Buckley quite few, and Arthur d. Will
ard number. The suits brought before
Justice Posey range in amounts from 81
to $50 or more each.
