A Farmers Adventure.


A Michigan farmer, named Harris, has
had 80 many adventures with burglars that
he never dared to go market, in Detroit,
without having gun behind him in the
wagon. Soon after daylight last Tuesday
he saw something on the highway that
looked like horse blanket, and while he
was getting out of the wagon to pick it up
q man confronted him and cried out:
81 was waiting for you to come along"
Without delay the cautious farmer seized
his guR and fired a charge of bird-shet al
most in the face of the enemy, who retreat
ed in great disorder, screaming and yelling.
The farmer drove ON very csmplaeently,
thinkin he would have q good story for the
boys al the tavern, but discovered a few
yards down the road a broken wagon load
ed with poultry. The man whom he bad
stuffed with bird-sho was not a robber. but
a small farmer who bad lost his horse blan-
ket and gone back To look for it. The re-
pc infant marksman went back and tried TO
comfort his subordinate fellow-traveler, and
found him sitting on log counting the
wounds--soTne 80 or more.

Scarlet Fever.

At the meeting Of the Board Of Health
yesterday Assistant Sanitary Inspector
Dwyer called the attention of the Board to
the case of young lady teacher in public
school in the Seventh Ward, who had been
stricken down with scarlet fever, the con-
tagion having been communicated to her in
her class room through some of her pupils
coming from infected families. On exam
ination DR.. Dwyer found in the school in
which the unfortunate young lady referred
to was employed pupils Coming from three
different premises where the disease exist
ed, and there were in her own class chill
dren from family one member of which
was suffering from scarlet fever. On in
qniry Of the principal Of the schtr,l E,r.
Dwyer learned that the Board of Education
had failed to forward him copies of the
daily list of families in which contag ious
diseases had beea developed, furnished by
the Health Department with the view of
preventing this condition of affairs, and the
Doctor suggested that, if the children of
iabflleS III WutCu uL pHtAcllts duu ScaI ldtIuh
existed were excluded from the overcrowd-,
ed and poorly ventilated class-rooms until
the danger of contagion had disappeared,
considerable number of cases might be pre-
vented. The report was placed on file,aud
it was resolved to call the attention of the
Board of Education to the matter. Presi-
dent Chandler said that list of the fami-
lies was sent to the Board of Education
daily. and the children of these families
ought not to be permitted to attend school
until all danger Of eon,agion had disappear
esl. for by allowing children from houses in
which the disease existed to mingle with
the other pupils, the contagion was carried
into many families who migh5 not other
wise be exposed to it, and in this way con.
tagious diseases were communicated and
caused to be spread. A rigid enforcement
of the rule preventing children from infect
ed houses attending school would tend in
great measure to stop the spread of scarlet
fever and diphtheria. During last week 25
cases of the former and 40 cases of the lat
ter disease were reported.-Nep York
Times.

Josh Billings Proverbs.


This life is like game of cards. We
must play the hands dealt to us, and the
credit is not so much in winning as in play
ing poor hand well.
When hear man Dragging about what
he did last year and what he's going TO do
next year, can tell pretty near what he's
doing now.
Don't despise your poor relations. they
might get rich some time, and then it would
be so hard to explain things.
The reputation a man gets from his ahces-
tors wants about as much altering to fit him
as their clothes would.
There is no woman stationed I'D the face
of the earth who tiles so hard to do right
and fails oftensr than the average mother
An enthusiast is man who believes four
times as much as he ebn prove, and sill
prove four times as much as anybody els
will believe. # @ s# 3t
Falling in love Is like falling down stairs;
it's hard work to lind out just how the
thing was done.
A man who has been waiting for the last
fifteen years for something to turn up is
still in the same business.
A poodle is woman's pet, and | have
seen some would like to swap livings

Mice can live anywhere comfortably but
IN chuch; they fat very slowly in church.
This proves that they can't live gu religion
any more than minister can.
The worst tyrant in this world is wo
man who is superior to her husband and
lets everybody know it.
Love is like neasels, You can't have it but
once, and the later in life we have it the
tougher it goes with US.
Great thinkers are not apt to be great
whistlers. When man can't think of any
thing he begins to whistle.
Tho man you can have to work on farm
for nothing and board himself, just about

Neatness, in my opinion, is o,ie of the
virtues. Inave always considered it twin
sister to chastity, but none work SO hard as
the victim to estate neatness. | saw q
neat person who would not let {. weary fly
rest long enough on the wall paper to take
breath, and who would chase single cock
roach up and down stairs until his legs were
worn off.
