INFLUENZA FROM OZONE.
Pure Air from Lake Michigan Gavs
an Investigator an Extreme
ly Hard Cold.

On one occasion the present writer
walked to the edge of Lake Michigan
when a strong wind was blowing right
from the lake. The bodily condition
was as near perfect as could be, says
Popular Science, and yet in less than
five minutes there was every evidence
of having caught an extremely hard
cold. The severe influenza continued
until, on walking away, in less than
500 feet, it disappeared as if by magic.
1t is very certain that the tempera-
ture had nothing to do with this nor
the wind, but the influenza was direct
ly due to the abundant ozone in the
air. BY inquiry it was learned that
hundreds of residents who had lived
upon the immediate edge of the lake
had been obliged to move back three
or four miles in order to relieve them
selves from such experiences. Physi-
clans readily admit that il is not al
ways possible to say why one
catches" cold; it certainly cannot al
ways be because of undue exposure
or change in temperature, but prob
ably also to changes in the electric
condition of the air. Facts of this
kind should lead to the EXTREMIST eau

ton between the weather and health

Which thy livelong nome has been
Walled with granite on the outside,
And with polished pearl withini
All unconscious of the beauties

Thou sojournest for a season
In the oozy depths of life.
To ope thy fortress window,
Thrust out thy smutty head,
And seek the Shiny morse
Which is thy daily bread
This alone is thy endeavor.
This is all thou hast to do:
Yet thou'rt happy. very happy.

Seeking some lost strain of music,

lutely as if to leave the neighborhood.
a block or two away he passed church
where the people were gathering. He
heard the strains of magnificent or
gan. and then a sweet voice took up the
song: Where Is My Wandering Boy
To-Night?'
The loiterer stopped and listened.
Just like the plot of "A Sunday school
story he muttered, with a cynical
smile. THAT songs bound TO follow
until il gets me-
He passed on down the street, then
returned and stood drinking in every
note of the sweet voice. IL was so diff.
ferent from the rustic rendering in tho
village church week before, and yet
1t was the same song-the simple little
hymn of his boyhood days.
"But there's nothing very strange
b
necessarily my guardian angel that's
oinging that song into my ears just for
my benefit. They're singing it in every
church in the land, i reckon. in these
days of temperance revivals."
But Lovett turned and walked down
the street. At No. 301 he rang the bell.

.Mr. Brigham does not wish to be dis
turbed," replied the servant. "He has
been very i'll"
Drawing deep breath like re-
prieyed criminal, Lovett turned and
started up the street. The echoes of his
mothers song was still ringing in his
ears, and now he heard the voice again.
How the sweet tones rose and fell, so re-
plete with tender memories, calling him
back from his pitiful hesitation.
Once more he returned to No. 301.
"You may tell Mr.. Brigham that I
must see him. My business is very inn
portant."
He followed the servant into the IL
brary. An old man, gray-hared, wan
and pale, but with an eye as keen as on
that awful night week before, looking
up as he entered.
'Mr. Brigham / have brought you the
money you lost in the wreck; here it is"
The old man looked from the extend
ed hand to Lovett's face in OPEN
mouthed astonishment.
"Well, young man." he exclaimed at
last, you are queer one. Where did
you find it?"

success, but he had lost il through his
lack of discretion and experience. He
had lived and learned since then and
knew that If he could but venture again
he would not lose. Two thousand dol
lars; perhaps il was but a trifie to the
man who owned it, but what would il
not mean to him? Then, with a bitter.
cynical smile he reused himself from
his wild fancies and turned to watch
the mad race of the fields and trees as
the train sped along through the deep
ening twilight.
1t passed little station with

the open window he heard the strains
of song which brought the tears to
his eyes. and flood of memories swept
perance song: where is my wander

sing it to him when he was boy. and
ii was his favorite. AS he heard it he
thought again of his strong-hearted
cheerful, honest mother, who had
taught him lessons in honor and moral
ity which even his hard life had never
quite effaced, and in an instant the
mind of this man. whose life had never
been shaped by priestly council and in
whose early training the element Of
Christian character had supplanted
creed and dogma, turned from it's bit
ter, criminal covetousness of the money
to memories of home and mother. Low

stable. Perhaps the possession of those
qualities rather than those of cold. cal

counted for his failures.

CHAPTER ".

We must now return to poor Gabri.
ellie. Ii was not long before crowd
had gathered around the PROSTATE
form, and every effort was made TO
bring her back TO consciousness. The
nearest doctor was sent for, and she
was carried into his house. After
awhile she recovered little. and looked
wildly at the sympathetic faces around
her
'Pierrot," she cried. 20 where is
Pierrot?" and relapsed into a dazed
condition again. The doctor pro-
nounced her TO be suffering from ex-
IRENE nervous exhaustion and feared

soon she was made as comfortable as
possible in one Of the spacious wards,

a personal friend OF the doctors, came
himself TO investigate the case. HE
told the nurse that the cure OF Bel.

Then the wagon stopped and the boy
assisted Gabrielle and her brother TO
alight.
The scene was one Of the strangest
she had ever witnessed. All around her
were piles OF vegetables and fruits.
Here a heap Of red apples that looked
like miniature mountain, there a
huge mass OF potatoes, and here again a
hillock OF green and red cabbages.
And then the chattering and noise there
vast Crowds OF men talking together
and trying TO make a good bargain.
Women with their gay colored shawls
and every conceivable kind Of head
dress. Here was a buxom Normande
with her stfly starched white cap, and
here again a peasant from sunny Brit
tany with her close fitting embroidered
hood and her baby in a shawl on her
back, and the clatter Of the wooden
shoes on the ground, which IL paved
with little round stones worn smooth
with the pressure Of millions Of feet
Gabrielle took the baby In her arms
and wandered from place to place filled
with wonder at the strange world
around her After strolling about for
nearly an hour they came 20 the meat
market This is an immense building
similar TO the fruit market and ad-
Joining IT, Here were immense num-
bers Of carcasses Of bullOoks and sheep
and pigs. At one end was the live poul-
try market. Little Pierrot laughed and
crowed at the sight Of the chickens and
turkeys. Some Of the birds were decor
ated with bright colored ribbons, and
q card 10 call attention TO the fact that
they were prize birds. One Of the
women was highly amused at the
baby's mirth and took the ribbons of
one OF the birds and tied them around
his neck and told him he was a little
prize turkey too. and then she carried
him around TO see the other women,
and they all laughed and kissed him
and tied more ribbons on his arms
Gabrielle was full Of happiness to see
him admired and did not notice that the
booths were being closed and the mar
ket becoming deserted. They hurried on
but were soon confronted by a police
man in gorgeous livery. He told her
In a rough tone to be of home. il was
high time she and the child were in
bed. When she had recovered little
from her fright, she ran quickly out
of the market Looking back she saw
the man coming again.
80 where shall | go2 What shall l
do?" she cried. Just then she came
upon a wagon like the one In which
they had made their journey and the
thought occurred to her that she would
find the boy and perhaps he would let
them sleep there again. With her
brother IN her arms. she ran quickly
on through the now deserted market.
Again she heard footsteps and orouched
down behind one OF the booths A
policeman passed quite close, but did
not see them. Another wagon was
standing near She crept softly up to
It, Finding II empty she lifted the
baby in, and quickly following pulled
the canvas round with a sigh of intense
relief. She then found that the driver
had left his warm rug and wrapping
this around them both she proceeded TO
make things as comfortable as possible
for the night.

She ran on moaning and wrlnging her
hands. Several times sympathetic
people seeing her distress tried TO de-
tain her and render her some assist
ance but she would wrench herself
away with a piteous cry and hurry on.
She passed many churches. and saw the
people going In with their floral Offer
ings. but II was not the one she was
seeking. o mother, motherl she
moaned, and then the thought of her
utter loneliness and desolation came
over her with Overwhelming force and
she sank down ON the ground and knew

Washington, Feo. PLATTER a con-
test tnat will be memorable in the
history of the Senate, the com promise
army re- organization bill was passed
this evening at 7:1O. When the Sen
ate convened at IL o'clock this morn
ing it seemed more than likely that
the bill might not be passed during
the day. MI. German of Maryland,
insisted that his amendment provid-
ing that the army should not be in
creased permanently Or beyond July
1, 1901, be incorporated in measure
For several hours it appeared prob a.
BILE that his insistance at least would
throw the bill over until tomorrow
and perhaps defeat it. An agreement
was finally reached, however, and Mr..
Germans amendment in a slightly
modified form was accepted.
The notable speech of the day
against the measure was delivered by
Mr.. Vest, of Missouri, but his brilliant
eloquence availed nothing against the
measure, aS finally agreed upon. To-
night the Senate took up the sundry
civil bill and completed it's reading.
The bill was then laid aside to be COM
pleted tomorrow.
