The Pickles Test for Mumps.

From the Denver Republican.
There has recently been an epidemic OF
mumps among the school children Of the
city According to the rules of the health
department, a child may not return to
school until he has fully recovered. Every
afternoon has brought the health depart
ment fifteen or twenty youngsters, some
with swollen cheeks and some without. 1t
is the duty Of the physician in charge Of
the office to examine these applicants for
clean bills of health and see If any trace of
the infection remains. But the force of the
health department Is small, and sometimes
there is no doctor in the office for an hour
at q time. This works a hardship on moth
ers waithing with their children, and Dr.
Cartin yesterday bethought himself Of the
magic tombstone by which Miss Mollie
Currigan. guardian of the outer Office,
might herself test the applicants.
Pickles are the thing" said DR.. Carlin.

pain Is extreme.
So bottle Of mixed pickles was added to
the pharmacopoeia OF the office.
Now. when there Is no doctor in the Office
Miss Currigan lines up the applicants for
certificates and goes down the lines with
the bottle Of pickles. II the child takes the
pickle and smiles as healthy child should

If he were engaged in some other calling
l could almost learn to love him. You
know, he didn't make any kick at all when
laid my hands on him. and as we came
along to the station he laughed and talked
in quite a delightful fashion. He jollied
me so nicely that l bought him a drink
and In turn he told me how he had had
fun with kleptomaniac. He was in a de-
partment store, he said, looking over the
field for what might present itself to the
observant mind, and during his wander
ings he saw well-dressed, somewhat ell

seeking what he might devour and not get
caught at it. He sized the elderly
party up at once klep and got
right onto his trail for whatever might
develop The old party pinched number
of trifling things from various counters
which he slipped into his overcoat pockets
and finally he caught a nice little gold
watch. worth about $40. The professional
thought there was enough in that to be
worth looking after, SO he casually sidled
up to the old party. who had started In a
careless sort Of way for the front door
He stopped once TO buy some little thing or
other. and the professional kept close to
him. In the crowd at the door he deftly
slipped his hand into the old gents pocket
and came out with the watch. but the old
one felt him and turned on him. Don't

flesh was so badly scared by the remarks
Of the professional that he dropped all
holds as soon as he could and slipped away
In the crowd, leaving the watch with its
last pincher. The crowd didn't get on be-
cause the professional was very delicate
and refined in his handling of the old party
and nobody suspected what he was talking
about I guess he was telling me straight.
