The Ever Ready Hnirpiu.

Not long since Long Island girl
while driving friend to the station up
set the village cart and broke one of the
traces, which she deftly mended with q
hairpin and got her guest to the station
in time for the train. But as the smoke
Of the approaching locomotive showed
its white feather in the distance it was
discovered that during the accident the
friends dress had been torn quite off the
band.
81 cannot possibly go to town like
thisI' she cried in dismay, holding mp
several breadths with the gathers COM
pletely unripped. Ever equal to the
emergency, the fair Long Islander drew
out several hairpins from her braids,
shook back her flying tresses, ran one
hairpin through half Of the loosened
folds, made hook at the end so that it
could not slip, gathered up the rest on
another, fastened it in the Same way,
secured the whole to the band with q
third, and finished just as the train came
steaming up, so that her visitor went on
her way rejoicing, none the worse for
her exciting experience.-New York
Tribune.

Good lawyers.

Some of the most pious, the most con-
secrated, the most consistent, the most
humble Christians we have known per-
sonally and intimately have been or are
now lawyers. We could name several
who have through long lives lived close
up to their Heavenly Father in sweet and
gracious communion. We say further
that many of the purest, noblest men we
have known-patriots in high sense,
with lofty ideals and morale compare
BILE to tho best-were lawyers. They
were an ornament to their country and
the human race. We know some of this
kind who still survive.-Wilmingto On.

the heroic things which the road from

Wheeling. There was no thought OF

Wheeling's Sanitary Condition.


Tho arrival Of q suspected emigrant.
laden steamer IN New York yesterday
from 0 cholera infected port in Italy
warranted the health authorities in
taking prompt measures, and 1t is
hoped that the precautions taken will
be- effective. 1t is also a reminder that
u cholera epidemic prevails in Europe,
particularly in Italy, whence hundreds
of immigrants are being landed on u
shores every week, The quarantine
regulations ut our seaports are excel
lent, but we OF the interior should not
feel too confident OF our security on
that account. The sanitary conditions
of most American cities are such that
the introduction. OF a few cases OF
cholera which, however perfect tho in.
spection may be at the seaports, are
likely to escape quarantine, would re-
suit in q fearful epidemic.
In such an event it would be q mir.
acle ii Wheeling escaped, An ounce Of
prevention is worth a pound OF cure.
There is no Disgusting the fact that we
are threatened with cholera and now is
the time to prepare to fight it The
INTELLIGENcER is not IN alarmisti in
urging the people OF Wheeling to take
prompt measures looking to the i'm.
provement Of the sanitary condition OF
the city, in view OF tho serious state Of
affairs in Europe, and the heavy travel
this way from the infected ports, it is
simply doing what it believes to be a
public duty.
We are advised by tho city health
officer, DR., Mccoy, that the health de-
partment OF Wheeling is entirely out OF
funds, and has not a dollar ut its dis
posal with which to maintain au ade-
quate system OF sanitary inspection,
OF the 5000 voted by council for health
purposes 1921 has been expended by
the health office and the balance by the
crematory. With requests from a score
Of points in the city for inspection,
there is no means at hand to employ
inspectors, lie is doing the best he
can under the circumstances, but AN
not, without funds, place the city in
such u condition as tho gravity OF the
situation requires.
While there is yet noserious fear that
cholera will gain q foothold in this
country this year, there is danger, and
nothing is to be lost by prompt action.
In view Of this fact a meeting Of the
health committee should be called and
u system o daily sanitary inspection DO
provided.
