Johnny wanted u watch for Christ
mas and wanted everybody to know
he wanted it, says the Chicago Jour
nal. At breakfast, lunch and dinner
he told his father, mother, brothers
and sisters how he yearned for the
timepiece.
His persistent harping on the
matter finally became unbcarable
to the other members of the family,
When Johnny mentioned the word
"walch" they became severely ST.
lent. But Johnny kept right on.
One evening he was sitting in the
drawing room with his father and
concluded it was good opportunity
to do little lobbying for himself.
"Say, Pa
"Pan la,d bis paper on the table
and looked sternly at the boy over
his spectacles.
"Now, johnny, | am gong to
put my foot down on any more Of
this watch talk. You are making
life a burden for the rest of us. SO
If you were intending to ask me
about the watch you had better not
say anything further. Don'tlet me
hear the word again.
Johnny was repulsed, but not de-
featod. 1t was the custom Of the
Whippen family for each member
to quote verse ofscripture atfamily
worship each morning.
The day following Mr.. Whippen's
ultimatum the family met for wor-
ship, II came Johnny's turn TO
quote u verse. He waited until no
was sure ull present were attentive
and then ho SLOWLY repeated with
great emphasis the folio wing verse

all, WATCH"

Hon. W. D. Vandiver has been TAX

Judging from the tone of the inter-

YELLOW FEVER has appeared at
the soldiers home at Hampton, Va,
near Fort Monroe. Three deaths
have occurred, and there are many
cases in the home. 1t is not clear
how the disease entered, but pre-
sumabIy it was by contact of in
mates with returned sailors. The
home is filled with old men, gener-
ally in feeble and sometimes in
bad health. Therefore some hearty
sailor might have carried the germs
home with him without harm to
himself and by accident might have
bestowed them upon the veterans
Like all germ diseases, yellow fever
requires q fertile field in which to
thrive. Debilitated systems are
what it seeks. No great danger
exists of the spread Of the disease
from the home at Hampton. Beng
in a public institution under semi
military regulations, the diseased
persons can be completely isolated
the most perfect disinfection car
be employed and the best treatment
and nursing supplied,
