The Mosquitoes Had Saved the

''Talkin' about rattlesnakes,' said an Erie

Well while getting out railroad ties in a.
slashin' over back of the Summit, Abe More

A Susquehanna doctor was at once sent for
and the leg was bandaged tightly above the
wound. 1t was expected that Morehouse
would die before the doctor could come up

Just as soon as the leg was barred to nut

of mosquitoes. and when the doctor arrived

There was Sol Timson, another brakeman
Sol used to brake on the Delaware division
from Susquehanna to Port Jervis. He had
the ague awfully. Had it so bad that some
of his teeth shook out. and he shook the
buttons off his coat. A lot of his friends
had sure cures for the ague. and each gave
him the prescription. At last when he had

He took them home and put them all into
one jug. Then he shook the jug, mixed the

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Two
things, in the opinion of Secretary Long.
So creditable to the naval service have
occurred recently that they deserve to
be made public. One is the request of
Admiral Higginson. which is contained
in the following letter:
Washington, D. c., March 1O.-Sir: l re-
speetfully request to be allowed to resume
my former number on the naval list. after
Rear Admiral Kempff. While deeply grateful
to the president and yourself for my nom1-
nation for work done off Santiago. l do not
regard my own services as so conspicuous as
TO warrant my advancement while the otner
commanding officers nominated at the same
time as myself go unrewarded. They were a
gallant band Of naval officers and certainly
deserved well of their country, and II their
services are to go unrecognized desire to
share the same fate. Very respectfully,
Francis j. Higginson,
Rear Admiral U. S. Navy.
To Hon. John D. Long, Secretary OF the
Navy.
Admiral Higginson's name was one
of the long list sent in by the president
for advancement for gallant services
off Santiago. Probably by inadvertence
Admiral Higginson was confirmed
apart from the rest when the senate
adjourned without confirming.
Secretary Long has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the admiral:
VIII you let me express my appreciation
Of your very handsome and considerable con-
duct in asking to resume your former num-
Der on the navy list rather than to accept
the advancement which places you above
other officers, who, for their gallant services
in the recent war, deserved recognition but
failed to receive it, owing to the failure of
the senate to act upon the recommendations
sent in by the president. The spirit which
