Kate Gilletto is a Vermont school
tcacher, andjust before Thanksgiving
ilay Kato thought over what sho had to
bo tliankful for the past year, and as her
cves resteu unon ner leweirv casKoc lts
cmptiness suggested that wlien another
jLlianKscivinir uav camo arounu suo
might as well feel tliankful that thcro
wero so many men desinng to part with
their money to a strangcr, and that the
ucpiction ot thoir tunus mcant tne repie
tion of her jewelry casket, for Katie
dearly loves jowelry, and so do tho big
uovs wno attenu ner vinairo scnooi.
Now, if Miss Gillette's fcrtilo brain isas
nrolilic m ldeas to mako her scholara
learn thcir A. B. C's, and she is as sue-
cesstul in niculcating usetul Knowlcugo
into llicir hcads as sho is in filling her
emnty jewelry casket, shemust, mdeed,
bo looked upon by tho school board as a
trcasure.
A few days beforo Thanksgiving, and
while hcr scholars wero helping their
parents preparo turkeyB for themarkets
of tho mctropolis. Sliss Kato might
liavo been scen pluckiug feathers from
tho carcasses of the birds, who a few
days previously had strutted around tho
Gilletto farm, totally oblivious of tho
approach of their fate. Now this was
not tho kind of work Kato felt sho was
cut out for, so sho dccidcd to do a littlo
plucking of a different style and vastly
more profitable, at tho samo timo being
much easier. She wroto numerotis notes
and placed them insido tho turkeys, ro
questing tho finder of tho noto to send
iomo present in tho shapo of jewelry.
Mayor O'Brien happcned to purchaso
ono of the birds, in which sho had placed
this nolo :
"I am a young: school teacher and have no
watch. I have taken a wiDter school. What
shall I do without a watch 1 I hope fiome good
Hepubllcan Hill remcmber me next Chrlstmas. I
don't like thc Dcmocrats. but if one would send
me a present I should thlnk better of them. I
don't thlnk ihcy llke to give presents, Do they ?
I am a Vermont girl, and hope to hear from those
who eat this turkey. Kate Gillett,
East Randolph, Vt.
Tho noto was written on a half sheet
of common noto paper, in a round, up
hill, school gjrl hand. His Honor con
cluded, despite the girl's political belief,
to honor her rcquest, and accordingly
on Friday purchascd her a nico gold
watch anu sent it to her by express, ac
companying it with a noto exprcssing
tho wish that his political bolief might
not debar him from liolding a placo in
hcr aiTections.
Mayor O'Brien's letter, accompanying
thc gold watch, was as follows :
ClTY OF BOSTON,
Execctive Deimrtiient,
Nov. 30. 1888. )
My Dear Miu Cillttlet On Vednesday last I
bought a Tery nice turkey, welghing 15 pounds,
in Quincy marlcct, from thc flrmofll L. Law
rence & Co., where I usually purchaso poultry,
and vhen it was being prepared for cooking,your
note, placed inside the turkey, came to llglit. I
assure you it was a great surprise that your ap
ncal to Renublicana and rour nronouneed disiike
it Democrats should fail Into the hands of the
Mayorof Doston, a lile-long Democrat. I assure
you, however. the Mayor of Bolton during his
official life has rccognized the claims of both
Democrats and Kepublicans. Wc are all citizens
of thisgood old city and have the welfare of the
city at heart. I bclleve in you. Miss (,lllelle,and
excue your disiike of emocrats, because it has
been cultured by that one-sided State in whlch
you live, always prononnced Kcpnblican. To
show you that I am sincerc I send you a watch,
which I hope you witl accept from the Demo
cratfc Mayor of Boston. Piease answer, and I
hope that my Democracy may not prevent me
froui holding a place in your aiTections. Truly
yours, IIcoii O'BniEN.
On Wcdnesday Mayor O'Brien re

Now tho question might beasked how
many notes did tho little 24-ycar-old,
licht complexioned school teacher write ?
Certalu lt is that another turkey ar
rived in Boston, bearing a missivo from
the fair Kato for a young man who
knows a irood nows item when ho sees
it, and who also knows which is the best
gaper in lioston to send tno news to, on
aturday ho mailcd a letter to tho Her

Did Master Bradford send Katio
f rcsent or his picture ? Oh, no, not ho.

Mayor O'Brien Benii Katie agold watch?

addressed to Misa Kate GillettP, East

There etill may be oihers who hold re-
ceitiu ror jewelry sent to Miss uiuette.
and, on the otlier hand, there may be
more lelters in existencc which failed to
secure for the Ditite Vermont Bchool
ma'am the coveted presents. Who
knows.
Now, having eupposed that hersupply
ol jewelry would be reulenished, Khip,
like all women, bethought hetself that,
next to jewelry, a few new dressea
would add to her personal appearance,
oiove a source of envv to her leas fnrtu-
nale village chumv, and at the same time
so dazzle the optics of eome one of the
country bumpkins attending her school
as to make him forptt lil-i bashfutniss,
and invite her to a husking bee. For Kite
evidently has a solt epnt in her heart for
one ot the villaee beaux, as tn ner var
ious notes she has not asked for a hus-
band, althouek alniost ererything else a
woman'coull desire has been written for
in a most innocent, frank and taking
manner. Another letter received at-the
llerald oflice today was brought in by a
well-known merchant, and is in the
same handwntlng as those previously
written by llia incenious Kate, while
the same monoeram of the paper manu
facturcr adorns the corner of the paper
as was on the previous epistle. Tho fol-
lowing is a copy cf the letter :
"I wish tle ladies w ho eat of ray turkey would
write me about lt, and lf they have any old clothcs
of any kind, if they will piease send me a box of
them to make over for me. 1 hone to hear from

Havinc asked for everylhing else
under the sun. now Miss Kate wants a
nice stock of winter clothlng and she
came pretty near cettinc it. "If I had

''but I had no idea of her eize until I

Mor is thls the end of Kate s fertile

oflice when tbe mail bag arrived and tho
following letter was found :

The letter inclosed by the writer was
in precieely the same chirography as
those elgned Ka e Gillette, and in the
left hand upper corner is the monogrum
of the paper manufacturer precisely the
same as in Kate's letter. Again, the
letter is written on a half sheet of pnpcr
tnd in the opinion of eevernl
parties who have seen the letters writ
ten by Kate Gillette and the one signed
G lie Durkee, there is not the Bliemest
doubt but that Kate Gillette and Edie
Durkee are one and the same: certainly
they are so far as the handwriutig goes.
