FIGHTIT OUT LIKE PAAND MADO.

A story is told Of a daughter of a
prominent person now in the lecture
field which is peculiarly interesting
and suggestive of unconscious wis
dom. A gentleman was invited to
the lecturers house to Yea. Immedi-
ately on being seated at the table the
little girl astonished the family circle
and the guests by tie abrupt CUES
ton:
"Where is your wife?"
Now, the gentleman having been
recently separated from the partner
OF his life, was taken so completely
by surprise that he stammered forth
the truth:
IL don't know"
Don't know, replied the infant
terrible, "why don't you know ?"
Finding that the child persisted in
her iuIerrogatorles despite the mild
reproof of her parents, he concluded
to rake clean breast of the matter
and have it over at once. So he said
With a calmness which was the result
Of inward expletives:
We'll, we don't live together; we
think, as we can't agree, we'd bet
ter not"
He stiAed groan as the child be.
gan again and darted an exasperated
look at her parents. Blu: the little
torment would not be Quoted until
she exclaimed:
Cant agree! Then why don't
you light it out as pa and ma dor
vengeance is mine" laughlngly
retorted The visitor, after spa" and
"ma" exchanged looks Of holy hor-
ror, followed by the inevitable roar.

Massachusetts, TO whom the dying statesman
said, "Take care of my Civil Rights bill" A
detailed account of his last hours will be

Brilliant success.

It is permitted to few men or cOmpa-
mics TO achieve acknowledged superiority
in any important position or business.
The present generation has witnessed stu
pendons rivalry in several branches of in
dustry, and notably the Sewing Machine
business. Amid multitude of competi-
tors, steadily and surely the Wheeler &
Wilson Company held their way from the
beginning, upon fixed and honorable prin-
oiples. Long since, their leading position
in America was established. Abroad, al
London, in 1862, they won the highest
premiums. at Paris, in 1867, they dis
tanced eighty-two competitors, and were
awarded the highest premium, the only
Gold Medal for Sewing Machines eXhi5-
tied and lastly, amid unparalleled com
petition, followed the splendid uiumphs
at Vienna noted in our advertising col
umns.

Shockoe Creek from n Physicians
Point of View. .,r..
RrcuaoSp. November &c, ]

RICHMOND, N0Vem Der 2O, 1914. r.
Editors Of the Dispatch: Permit Soon
slant reader" to remind you that in the
strong argument presented by you few
days ago in favor of walling in Shockoe
creek, and thus putting stop to the Vaga-
ries of its flow and the washing OF its banks,
you quite forgot to notice one oil the most
important aspects of the su6Ject-VIz',
that which relates to the influence
of this stream in its present con-
dition upon the public heahh. Shockoe
creek may be emphaticully called the
cloaca magma of Richmond, receiving, as
it does the drainage of all the slaughter
houses in the region Of Brook avenue, and
constituting the common outlet for more
than half (probably two-thirds) of all the
sewers, or " "culvcrts," of the city. But, un-
like the cloaca magma of Rome, it is open
instead of being closed in by solid walls OF
masonry and hidden deeply underground.
1t is therefore in point of fact great
open seuer, conveying in its narrow
and sluggish current vast amount OF
noisome and putrefying filth and refuse.
In cold weather, or after heavy rains, when
the stream is swollen and hurriedkhe evils
thence arising may not be great but during
long dry spell in summer, when the volume
of water and the rapidty of its flow are re-
duced to minimum, and the decomposition
of the foul refuse proceeds with tenfod ra-
pidity, does it require physician or phllo-
sopher to divine the effect of such conditions
upon the constitution of the atmosphere, ana
consequently upon the health of the adjacent
land even more remote) portions OF the city!
/ do not propose, however, to enter INTO
an argument on the subject, but merely suS-
gest it to you, who can do it so much more
effectively. You will doubtless agree win I,
me that in any plan for the improvement, d"
of the creek sanitary considerations should
be held prominently in view, and that if by
engineering skill and sufficient expenditure
of money this stream can be converted from
an open into covered common sewer, such
q consummation is greatly to be desired in
the interest of PUBLIC HEALTH.

Nj TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER of HUMAN LIVES.
NEw York. November 23.-A private let
ter from St, Pierre MigneIon, November
22d, says: ..asfa - n"
A terrible slaughter of human lives was
pertetrated at the settlement of Indian
Tickle, Labrador, on the night Of the 18th
instant, two whole families being the victims.
The names of the families are William j.
Morrison and his sons (rhomas and Her.
bert), and Robert Morrison and wife and
their sonsJ William, Charles, and James). 1t
seems that latterly gangs of E.quimaux In
dians have been committing rotoeries at the
huts and stores of those who held large
stocks of goods, and that after the capture of
several of the Indians they were publicly
chastised by whipping. Their revenge show
ed itself on the night of the 10Th, when Mr..
VIM. F. Morrison and bis two sons were foul
ly murdered in their rooms, their bodies being
covered with dirk wounds, though they had
been first wounded with bullets. Mrs. Ro-
bert Morrison's throat was cut deeply in
several places, and bullet pierced her
brain. William and Charles Morrison were
stabbed in the heart and also shot, but
James, the youngesr, seems TO have strug-
ged hard for his life, as his corpse Was
found on the staircase leading to the door,
near the corpse of an Esquimaux whom he
had shot. This is the first instance Of
criminal or troublesome conduct among the
EsquimauX in Labrador in the memory Of
the oldest fishermen"

have been suspended, as the murderers are
both members Of the guard. The sheriff
from the Illinois district and posse OF
mounted men are patroling the place. Over
100 warriors have come in, and others are
on the way. The excitement is intense, and
more trouble is anticipated. ...
