And trousers built for rainy DAYS he'll
order next-thats what.
And wear them all the summer through
if there is rain or not
The ShirtwaiSt man, hurrah for him,
Now let him set the pace
And give some cooler clothing ia one

Smallpox Scare Calls Dr.. Young to
Aroostook.
The Stale Assessors Over East-Cossjp Of the
Departments.

telegram was received by DR. A g.
Young of the State board of health. Tues
day night from the Provincial board of
health of Canada. informing him that a
woman who had been exposed to small
pox was at Grand Isle.
DIR. Young left this city. Wednesday
morning. to make an investigation Ar
irving at Van Buren, he took livery
team and drove to Grand ISLE where
with the local board of health he inter-
viewed the woman, returning to Van B,.-
rem about 9 O'Clock
The woman came from Lowell. Mass,
where it was alleged that she had been
exposed to the disease. Leaving that city
she went to ST. Rose, Canada, and from
there to Grand Isle, Me. Her husband at
Lowell has the disease but she claims
that he was not taken until after her
departure, and that she received a letter
saying that he had been taken. This let
ter she said, is at St. Rose, and she has
agreed to procure it and show ii to the
board at Grand Isle.
DIR. Young told the secretary of the To-
cal board Of health to secure the letter
and forward to him a copy of it. He will
also telegraph to the Lowell board to
substantiate or invalidate the woman's
story. DR.. Young believes that too much
care cannot be taken in cases of this ma
ture, and he attended to this one with
his usual energy and determination He
does not anticipate any evil results but
the woman has been put under slight
quarantine for the sake of precaution
DIR. Young is at work on a paper on
tuberculosis, and expects to get it into the
printers hands within two weeks. 1t IS
an extensive work, being a full treatise

panied by large illustrations taken from
