"Maud, did | promise you that

Yes, you did, and now you are
half drunk"
"Well, if hadn't promised you, /
might have been whole drunk.
She glared at me. If you could
see yourself you never would drink
again. Sitting there blinking your

"Of course. Can't blink anything
else. Don't expect me to blink my
ears, do you?"
''Oh, shut your mouth"
'Maud, that's no way to treat a

and then tell him to shut his mouth.

A Sporadic Case.
DECLARED TO BE YELLOW FEVER

Notwithstanding the report of tn
experts that the case reported wa
sporadic" yellow fever, there ar
many persons who doubt very muc
that it is yellow fever. Iti though
quite out Of the common that
young man, born in New Orleans
who has never communicated witt
the shipping, residing in a clea,
locality, and in the midst of an un
exceptionally healthy summer
should be attacked with that dis
ease. This is ontside of the ques
ton as to whether yellow fever is
indigenous or not.
The Item sought the facts of the
case this morning, with the follow.
ing result: Charles A. Babad the
patient is 25 years Of age; was born
in New Orleans. Up to about six
months ago, he resided at No. 4o1
Bayou Road, at his fathers house,
and removed to No 300 Dumain
street, on the occasion of his mar
riage. He had been employed by
the firm Of Holloway Il Gardes,
hardware dealers, at No. % Maga-
zine street, for many years, and was
lately their book-keeper. His bro
ther, Mr.. Louis Babel is employed
in the same house. He stated that
Charles has always been of an ex-
ceedingly bilious temperament, and
in the spring or in the beginning
of summer, is in the habit of clean
sing out his system, but had neg
lected to do so this year.
On Friday, June 20 last, Charles
complained of being unwell, and
left his office at ten o'clock for
home. DR.. Wiendahl, the family
was called, and treated
the patient for fever. 1t was only
on. Friday night or Saturday morn

The medical experts sent by the
Board of Health, Drs. Holiday,
Loeber and Davidson, called at the
1ouse late Saturday night to make
heir investigation.
The house at No. 800 Dumaine
treet is between Roman and Der
