Shipper School Board and the Ty-
phoid Fever Patients.

Editor Prcss:-
Kindly permit me the use of little
space in your excellent paper.
AS there has been a great deal of un-
favorable comment and unjust criti-
cism in reference to the recent typhoid
fever epidemic in the neighborhood of
Truman and Beechwood, and as child
of Mr. D. G. kirkpatrick, to whom
gave certificate TO attend the public
school, was sent home by some men,
bers of the Shippen township school
board, who utterly ignored the certi-
ficate, saying "there was danger of
spreading the disease among the
school children; that my certificate did
not amount to a --; that typhus and
typhoid fever We're the same thing, etc.
| Communicated with the State Board
Of Health, asking whether | was right,
or the school board. | received a
prompt reply from the secretary Of the
State Board Of Health, which fully sus-
tains my position and is herewith ap-
pended. | trust it will quiet the fears
| Of the people and enIightGn the over
| Jealous but misinfOrmed members OF
Shippen township school board.
might add that there were two cases of
, typhoid fever in the kirkpatrick home,
both Of which have recovered MIR.
kirkpatrick, however, is now i'll with
pneumonia. Following is the letter,
which explains itself:
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH, I
Executive Office,
DhiloIalrl,io 1000
DR. a. w. BAKER,
the 10th, | have to say:
First-That there is no danger Of
| children attending school from a
family in which typhoid fever exists,
conveying the disease to others, as
long as they are not allowed to mingle
with the sick.
Second-The law does not require
children from family having typhoid
fever to remain out of school as in the
case of contagious diseases.
Third-Typhoid fever and typhus
fever are not the same diseases, either
Typhoid is common disease in this
country, brought about principally
through contamination of drinking
water, while typhus (or ship fever is
not disease generally originating in
this country.
Under the circumstances, there is no
reason why the child to which you
refer az having received your certifi-
cate, should not attend school, mas
much as there appears to be no danger
of communicating the disease to others.
Yours very truly,

An Un-to-Dnte Fable.

Once upon a time there was "a Young
Man who was unable to go upon the
Stage, so he acted as Waiter in a Hash
house, says the Chicago News. Now this
Young Man was undoubtedly poorer than
he was dishonest, but he had the nerve to
seek In marriage the hand of the only
Daughter of Bloated Aristocrat. The
fatter, however, Was Sore on the Waiter
and put up all his spare Time collecting
Insults to heap on his Head, although the
Daughter was over Shoetop deep in love
with the dashing Plate Juggler.
One bright but happy day the Youth was
standing in the doorway of the Beanery
in which he Waited, waiting for Victims
of the Eating Habit to come along, when
suddenly a large cry of Horror punctured
the surrounding Quetude and dashing to-
ward him came a maddened Steed, while,
with blanche face, the Bloated Aristocrat
whose Daughter he loved sat powerIess in
the fated Vehicle.
The Poor but Brave Waiter saw his OPP
portunity and quickly grasped it right by
the back of the Neck. Rushing to meet
the maddened Steed, he shouted Aloud, as
he was wont to do when giving orders to
the Cook, and. snatching the Apron from
about his person, he waved it F'rantically
in the air.
The maddened Animal then swerved from
its course, and, dashng the frail Vehicle
against a friendly Lamp-post, flung the
Bloated Aristocrat out from therein and
broke his proud Neck.
AT a proper distance after the Funeral
the Poor but Triumphant Waiter threw up
his job and married the only Daughter
of the dead Aristocrat and they are now
living comfortably off the Life Insurance.
Moral-Pride often gets it in the Neck
but Everything comes to Him who Waits.

sheriff for Two Daxs.

rs 1t true that you were deputy sher-
if out West in the rough days?" was ask
cd of an Old Detroiter who now has moth
ing to do in the way of making living
except to clip coupons and collect rents,
says the Detroit Free Press.
The ex-deputy looked at his questioner
Just long enough to see that there was no
attempt to make game of him, and a scowl
gave way 10 a smile as he answered:
Yes, was deputy sheriff on the from
tier for just two days. Being young, strong
and ambitious, l went right in to dstin-
guish myself. There was a bad gang at a
camp ten miles up the gorge, and / was
fool enough to go single-handed to arrest
one OF the leaders,
I'm little bit hazy as to just what
happened but from what / can recall
and what 1 was able to learn from Others
It was about this way: They gave me the
laugh for appearing there alone ON such
a mission, but IL was lucky in one respect
for had there been a posse with me, the
chances are We would ali have been shot
down. They treated me and guyed me and
ironically impressed upon me the duty of
taking back my man. / was mad enough
to risk anything, so l grabbed him by the
collar and announced that he was my pris-
oner
Then the play began. One big ruffian hit
me over the head with cellar door, split
ting the door and fattening me out on the
floor Then they damned a water cooler
over my head tied a great tag on me,
consigning me to the sheriff. strapped me
in my saddle. and turned my horse loose.
He took me through on express time, and
the sheriff fired me before l had a chance
TO resign"

A DENIAL DIDN'T SAVE HIM.

The reporter was right in the case of
Chaplain Mcintyre. The reporter is gen
orally right, Notwithstanding the efforts
of statesmen and others to make 1t ap
pear that he is wrong when they find that
they have said something in an interview
which has not proved to be as popular as
they thought it would. But Chaplain Nc
Intyre was compelled to admit that the
reporters had quoted him correctly.
They reported that in a lecture which he
delivered in Denver he had said that Capt.
Bob Evans of the battleship Iowa had
shown the white feather in the naval en-
gagement at Santiago. and that Admiral
Sampson had reported himself nearer the
battle than he actually was in order to get
the lions share of the prize money. These
and many other ISLANDERS the good Mr..
Mcintyre, chaplain of the battleship Ore
gon, scattered abroad among the people
of the West, and when asked about them
by his superior officers he denied that he
had been correctly reported. The navy
department thought it advisable to give
the chaplain a chance to deny them be-
fore a court martial
The chaplain denied them there but the
proof that the charges against him were
true was so overwhelming, that he broke
down and admitted that he had prevari-
Gated. AS an excuse he said that just be-
fore going on the platform to lecture he
had taken a big dose of quinine and
whisky, and that he had said things that
he did not mean to say. In other words,
he admitted that the reporters had re-
ported him correctly, but that whisky and
quinine were responsible for what he did
say-the whiskey and quinine made him
Islander his superior officers.
Eminent statesmen who deny that they
are reported correctly in interviews might
also have TO blame whisky for some of
their utterances in the newspapers, instead
of saying the reporters had misquoted
them, if there were a tribunal before
which they could be called to ac-
count. AS a general thing, how
ever, they are careful to have
no witnesses around when they are talk
ing to reporters. The fact chat Chaplain
Mcintyre was caught, however, is cal
culated to make the public hesitate about
accepting denials of interviews.
