A YELLOU FEVER PAR0IYSM.


nr. Carter came to town
To make An investigation,
1t seems, he dropped u bag OF germs.
Then sent his resignation.
Then others came from New Orleans
To keep the thing agoing.
Now they're running in full blast
And making Il big showing.
CHORUS,
Yellow fever (f) lla. ha, ha!
Itsurely says big money,
Those who run the quarantine
Are drawing all the honey.
The Franklin Board Of Health comes in,
But-they are not a starter,
Compared to that official roll
OF Marine Doctor Carter.
They built big Detention Camp
Across our muddy streamlet,
Now what's the use OF all that fuss
Others towns have quarantined it.
They'd keep you there ten days, in tents
For germs TO make showing,
And after that pass you'd get
To wherever you were going.
CHORUS.
Yellow fever (N lla! ha! ha.
Itsurcly says big money
And all on that official roll
Are getting all the honey,
II we could bottle up some germs
To send to other places,
They'd infect thenl.and they would thcl
Unfasten all the laces.
Now Morgan CITY says. "Iou can't
Come in upon such passes'
And Jeanerette says. No. no. not much.
We're not such lot of asses"
That camp must be five miles from town.
Away from all infection
Or else we'll keep it quarantincd
And hold to our rejection.
CHORUS.
Yellow fever (?) Ia, ha. ha.
Well-certainly mild cases,
The patients never die OF it,
So why not loose the laces.
Why keep us all so ''bottled up
When the sick get well so quickly?
Let's ALL become "IMMUNEs'' at once
So, SPREAD THE GERMS MORE THIcKLY.

1t is said that the body Of Kilgorc
who died at Jackson recently with the
so-called yellow fever, was cremated
In unslacked lime. The house in which
he died was burned with its contents.
His wife and family, the nurse and
ten people who had been exposed were
put on a special train and shipped TO
Ohio And the $4,000 State board Of
health will foot the bill-perhaDs
amounting to $1,000. That's the way
to spend the money.

CRAWFISH ASGAME AND FOOD.

St. Louis Globe Democrat.
"Crawfeesh!' is the cry most fire.
quently heard on St. Louis streets
these sultry July nights. At a mod
crate computation it is repeated TO-
600 times from S p. m. to Il. m. be-
tween Nandeycntcr and the leyce. 1t
has superseded the "Red hot" slogan
OF the wienerwnrSt man. 1t is symp-
tomato of IA new industry. an indus
try by which hundreds Of men, women
and boys are making living. 1t
means that man or boy is trnversing
the streets carrying Il basket laden
with fresh water Holsters boiled to a
beautiful carmine and ready TO be
eaten.
"Crawfccsl" is the vendors pronun-
citation Of what modern dictionaries
spell "crawdsh," P!iny designated
''crevice," our English cousirs know Il
'crevis," and Southern folk. educated
before the word was corrupted, write
''crayfsh," although they pronounce
it 'craw"-which is proper unless you
have the knack of saying "kra" after
the French fashion. The dictinction
in the sound is the same as in Jaw
and "ah."
If you have never eaten crawiish
you have pleasure in store. But
don't make your first venture when
you are serious in your desire for food.
TO hungry man eating crawflsh is
like taking soup with fork; it is an
agvravatiun rather than sOlace.
Wait till you merely wish to eat tn

to get them properly prepared, and
your time is only good To pass, and
you have proper appreciation of st.
Louis beer. the odds are 100 to that
you will become a slave to the craw
fish habit.
1t is given to few persons to know
the crawfsh alive as well as dead
There Is a dim but widely dissim
mated theory that the crawtish never
moves forward. Even the Rev. San
Jones fosters this belief by telling
, story OF the old crawilsh saying to tht

or patrol until June %. when a detail
of civilians undertook the work.

thus far elected lis, 900 sheep from this

A RUBBER BAND TO CURE A
HEADACHE.
Washington Star,

Washington Star.
Departmental headaches are dis
tinct malady," remarked we'll known
physician to a Star reporter, land it
is somewhat Of surprise how many
sufferers there are among department.
clerks from this trouble. The thing
seems to grow among them, and
they have their headaches as
regularly as they have their work.
All kinds of remedies are used, and
while the various proprietary medi.
cnes and ten-minute cures, so-called,
cure for a while, they seem to lose
their power to relieve after frequent
use. Lack Of ventilation in Il majori-
ty of cases is probably the cause, but
this does not explain ali the cases, for
the reason that in many of the rooms
in the department ventilation is as
perfect as it can be provided by hui
man ingenity, and every advantage
of the science Of ventilation is taken.
OF course, the arrangement for light
! ing the rooms has considerable to do
with it. The light should never be
admitted to Il desk directly. 1t should
come from the side Of the clerk, if it
is possible to have it so. This pre-
vents strain on the eyes, which in
many casesc results in headaches.
"a simple remedy which is worth
trying is to put rubber band around
the head just above the ears. The
baud should not be tight enough to
stop the circulation OF the blood. The
band known as the string band Is
generally heavy enough for the pur-
pose. 1t should be applied just as
soon as it is noticed that the head
ache is setting in, and taken off the
moment the pain ceases. In many
cases the rubber band works nicely,
though it affords no relief when the
; headache is the result of stomach
troubles or billiousncss. | find, also,
that rubber band twisted about a
toe between the corn and the foot is
handy remedy to stop the pain from a
jumping corn. Corns are very liable
, to be troublesome when there is much
humidity in the atmosphere. The
rubber band seems TO temp0rarll!
quiet the nerves in the the, land in this
way stop the pain. AS in the case OF
"a band around the head, the pressure
should not be tight enough to stoT
the circulation OF the blood"

proposes that each county shall decide
by vote on jan 1st Of each year VINO
the worst man in the county is, and
that the man receiving the highest
number of votes shall on the ensuing

the plan that it would induce bad men
to emlgrate, and that the "compli-

had just begun to be bad, but were not
generally recognized as such, would

PHILIPPINE CATECHISM.

@. Why keep the Philippines?
A. For their value to US in trade.
@. At what is the Philippine trade
now valued?
A. Exports to the United States
s94, ,597; imports into the UnitedStates
81, ,3s3,74O
Q. What is the profit on that
amount of trade?
A. Ten per cent would be liberal
allowance. Probably si50,000.
G. What will be the cost Ct keeping
the Philippines?

ministratiOn and OF communications;
Cost of the army, S5,00O.0OO; cost Of
navy, Sl0,000.000; of administration,
81. 600. 900; of communication, $1,000
600.
@. How much trade would we have
to get to meet the expense out of the

ENGLAND IS PREPARED.
She Fully Realizes the Menace of the
Future, hut Was Never More Ready
TO Meet Her Foes.

Kingston, Jamaica, Nov 4-The
British naval authorities at Port Royal,
the naval headquarters here, express
the opinion that the order for the
mobilization of the British North
American and West Indian squadron
forms part of grand, comprehensive
scheme for n naval demonstration on
the Pacific and Atlantic intended to
indicate Great Britain's readiness
to face any and all possible
hostile developments. Great Britain,
it is added, fully realizes the menaces
of the future and would as soon accept
war now with France or Russia, or
both, and the present determined dem.
onstration indicates that neither of
them will accept this challenge. But
should they do so, Great Britain can
never be more prepared than now.

CLUMsYBY's LACK OF TACT.
He Had PhIIOsOphic Me thOd of Turn
Ing This Lnck to His own
Account.

Zone of the things that have been most
helpful to me in the course of my life, y said
Mr.. Clumsyby, "has been my lack Of tact.
This may seem like a contradiction, but it is
really very simple.
81 have always fanced that could attend
to business for other people all right, but
never had any tact about my own; that is,
about my personal relations with people; ]
always bungle them whenever attempt to
do anything. Thus, if | have a misunder-
standing or difference with anybody about
anything and | set about Strengthening it
out, | can't possibly do it except in one way;
/ have to go at it flat-footed; haven't any
more diplomacy than stone image. And,
moreover, besides being clumsy about it,
am pretty sure to say too much; to say
things that it isn't necessary to say, In
other words, haven't any tact at all,
And at first this was great drawback to
me- But after awhile / made discovery;
make any mistakes by it, and, following that
course for time, came to a realization OF
the fact that there's n great lot of things
that we run up against in life which may
be irritating ut the time, that are, however
not worth squabbling over at all, whether a
mans got tact or not, and | was sure tc
make mess of these things If tried to dc
anything about them, why, l don't try; ]
simply let 'em go
"And that's what I've been doing now fol
years. not bothering about every little trihe
but letting the little things go, and not both
ering about 'em at all; paying no attention
to them whatsoever. And so have been
enabled to preserve my equanimity and
avoid all useless wear and tear; and thus my
lack of tact has finally proved most helpful
to me.

Peter Allen, of Cowley county, was
arrested on charge of numbering
John Mann. When everything was
ready for his trial to begin the judge
discharged the jury and sent it home,
releasing Allen ON bond and setting
his trial for the next term of court.
When the time for trial came Allen
objected that he had once been put in

and to try him again would be a VIOLA
ton of the constitution. The supreme
court recently decided that Allen was
right, condemning the carelessness of
the judge of the lower court.
