The amateur humorist had sent 10 a
lot of Jokes and as the editor hadn't the
least use for them he put them where
all the bad jokes go that are not accom-
panied by return postage. After some
weeks the humorist wrote asking that
q check be sent him for his jokes, and
the editor sent MIN this:
Dear Sir-Yours received. Here
with find enclosed check as requested. ="
The humorist was tickled half to
death and impetuously unfolded the
slip of paper TO see the amount OF the
check. 1t bore this forceful legend:
Don't send any more or Jour jokes.
We don't want them"
1t was really just the sort OF check
he needed, but he hasn't thought so yet.

Pneumonia has so largely increased
the death rate Of New York that the
press there has undertaken TO instruct
in the matter OF preventing colds, and
directions as TO how TO proceed when
colds have not been prevented are also
printed. So dangerous has the city be-

writing Of Gotham as Pneu York. The

THERE U4S A CLASH OF INSTRUCTIONS.
ORDERS TO THE 18TH REGIMENT CHANGED BY
GENERAL FITZGERALD.


The question Of the time and place OF holding the
clec,D In the 10th Regiment for the additional
osccr, provided for by the formation OF regiments
occoriing 10 the new code and drill regulations re

reimbursement Louis Fitzgerald Of the First
rrcadc and Colonel IIcman Dowd. OF The 18th Tcgl-
mon, n doy or two ago. These elections are always
ordered from Brigade Headquarters. The request
,r Inc election comes naturally from the rcgimcntal
commander.
Colonel Dowd wanted TO have the election held on
saturday afternoon at the Bank OF North America Of
which he Is the assistant cashier, In the Equitable
Building. Thinking that MS request TO nave II at
chat time and place would be granted he notices
10 the officers Of the regiment OF the meeting at that
MACE Al the same time he sent request TO Gen
cr,l fitzgerald have the election ordered to take
Mace there The brigade commander thought that
the armory the proper place To hold the election
and he sent word to Colonel Dowd to that effect
Colonel Dowd replied that ne had already sent notices
a. the officers tina, the election would BE- held in the
p,ace mentioned. General Fitzgerald sent back word
that the notices must be recalled. and he ordered
night.
Colonel Dowd lives in Orange, y. j.. and he could
not be seen last night. An officer OF the regiment
s,id that he certain that Colonel Dowd did not
intend TO do anything which he thought would not
meet the entire approval OF his superior officer. Colo
mel Dowd graduate Of West Point and too good
soldier to do ANYTHING like that This officer thought
that Colonel Dowds object was to save time. No
doubt he was embarrassed upon receiving word from
General Fitzgerald that the election could not he held
downtown and thought that by presenting the fact
Of the notices the brigade commander might consent
