Another Suggestion.

Another correspondent suggests that the
hospital be erected in the center of popu-
lation of the poorest classes in the District
OF Columbia. He says: The rich and fair
ly prosperous people in the community
have facilities for the proper isolation of
their cases of contagious disease at home.
and will decline accepting, except as a last
resort accommodations in the proposed
hospital As rule the poor among US
have few facilities and must hall the ad-
Vantages of such an institution with pc
cuilar gratitude" The correspondent con-
cltdes that the extreme southwestern and
southeastern sections furnish the greatest
popl iatlon among the poor and he thinks
the hospital should be in the center of this
area.

II Sarah was s'prised when he asked
her To go 10 the concert, she was good
deal more so this time. She didn't say
much, though. She just looked at jim
and she says:
''Are you in earnest, jim? ?"
"Of course, I ann" said jim; but I'm
such coward that if you don't say
yes right now I'm afraid I'll never dare
ask you again."
"But. jim" said Sarah. think Of

BY this time Jim had got over his

there with smile on his face that, as
Sarah told my wife afterward. made

"All right, JIM" she says, hitch W

1t wasn't two minutes before they
was a-sittin' together in the buggy and

the house and told them to join hands

the front door OF the parsonage. HI
stopped just long enough to cali hi'
wife and daughter as witnesses. Jin
thought that was unnecessary. but the
