twenty-five or thirty miles and at last

the schooner atloat. an old negro in a
dugout canoe came up and looked

Whether or not the colored sage's
theory would hold water, so to speak,

war record and his social relations.
His friends received him with open
arms. but did nothing for him beyond
the cordial greeting. The ex-confed-
crate waited until his means were e1-
hausted, and the situation had become
desperate. One day. with his soul
full OF bitterness. he walked into the
presence of Gen. Butler and told his
story.
Can You write good hand?" asked
the general. when he had heard it all.
Yes" said the southerner.
~Let ME see," demanded the gen.

The visitor took pen and paper and
wrote.
"That1l do" the general comment

The southerner thought he was
pretty fair. The general called of

calculation and gave the result.

One day Gen. Butler sent for him. He
had come into possession of a very
large tract of tim Der and mineral land
in a southern state. On the land SQUAT

They must be placated aud their
rights must be acquired before Gen.
Buffers title could be made clear.
Hundreds of thousands of acres were
mbraced in the tract. To remove

had the reputation of making short
work with those who disputed owner

with it," Gen. Butler asked, after he
had examined what was desired.
I'll try it," said the ex-confederate.
He went south and spent twelve
months among the mountaineers. The
job was one he would hardly have un-
dertaken for money compensation. He

That one was induced TO move and

consent. At the end of the wear he
carried back TO the general the papers

and Are Called Down.

Encourage the Spread of Typhoid Fever
and Are Called Down.
COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 16.-The benefits
of the law increasing the powers of the
local health authorities are daily be-
coming more apparent. A fresh Illus
tration was found by State Health
officer Probst at North Lewisburg, a
village in Champaign county and near
Urbana.
Within five weeks there have been
forty cases of typhoid fever there and
the disease was rapidly spreading be-
cause OF the pig -headedness of two ig-
norant old doctors who refuse to take
any stock in the modern demonstration
that typhoid fever is communicable by
germs When the local health author
tiles directed person in whose house the
fever existed to disinfect the excreta of
the afflicted members of their families,
the old doctors pooh-poohed the order
and advised that no attention be paid
to it.
They also ridicule the advice that all
water be boiled before being drank.
DR.. Probst, on being appealed to, went
to North Lewisburg and at once in
formed the local board of health that
it has full authority to have the ignor-
ant and intermeddling old fellows ar
rested and this will be done if they
continue to interfere with the efforts
being made to eradicate the disease.
