health. says from his observation. and
from what is written by authorities, he
believes the jaundice is contagious,

Another good joke on one of the State
officials, has come to light through the
agency of the American Express Com
nj ha Ct,ta faiy
at Lewiston, this fall, and took from
home what he supposed was his over
coat. When once there. he found he
did not need the coat, SO he left it in the
Kennebec Journal Office. He went home
that night and forgot it. and as he re-
membered of leaving his overcoat in
some place. he did not look in it's accus-
toned place at home for it, but tried TO
remember where he had left it. At last
it occurred to him. and last week ne
called at the Journal office in this city. 10
see if anyone remembered of coat IN
the Journal building at Lewiston. One
was remembered, so the official sent the
key to the building, through the Amerl-
can Express Co., with directions for them
| to go to the place, and get the coat.
Agent Weber of Lewiston. went to the
building and found an ordinary sack coat
| was all that was in the building, so he
| sent that along, with the remark that II
it was an overcoat when left there, II
| had shrunk terribly since that time.
| The coat arrived, and 10 and behold, it
was one of the officials ordinary coats,
and not an oyercOat at all. He had alb
sent mindedly carried the coat to Lewis
ton, thinking he had his overcoat All
the while he had been puzzling his brain
to remember where he left the overcoat;
it was hanging up a home.
