Re yenge After Twcnty Years

He was asking the old man for his
daughter in marriage. He was talking
tremblingly, hesitatingly, says the
Springfield Union, as you read of in
story books, and the scene was full of
color, so far as an irate father and 4
nerveless young man could make it. IL
came the old mans turn to speak, and
as he began his face was white with
passion and his voice shook with eX-
citement. You want to marry my
daughter?" he said. ''Ah, now is the
time for my revenge. Twenty years
ago your father crippled me in stock
deal and swore to be revenged- And
now my time has come" He paused for
breath, and the aspirant for the
maiden's hand was about to beat a
hasty retreat in the face of supposed
defeat, when the father broke forth
again: ''Yes, sir, | swore to be re-
venged, and now I'll strike the father
through the son. Want my daughter,
eh? Well, take her, and may she prove
as expensive to you as she has to me.

worn out with the excitement of his plot,

Defense Against Disease Germs.
The development Of the germs so IA

We regard the creatures with abhor-

they are laboring. albeit unconscious
ly, in the interest of higher forms of
life. When discasc-gcnerating matter

considerable time will get any one of
the fatal germ diseases much more
readily than one who has brcathcd

the same Is true with animals. He

such situation that they were com

at the same time inoculating a similar
number of animals which had been

rural district. The first lot died. some
of them in thirty-siX hours. with un-

not one of the second lot was affected.

the rural animals began To breathe. the

signs of weakness and laSSitudc. They
lost their livclineSs and grew CLASSY

eat, they became poor in flesh. There
Is a grim significance in these facts
which should teach US lesson that
good sanitation is prime necessity,
not only as "A defense against direct
assaults of germ disease, but also
against the lowering of the physical
powers which opens the system not
