mis- position he cites supreme court de-
cisions from California, Connecticut and
other states. He also refers to the con-
stitution and to the laws regulating
health, and to those fixing the powers Of

health ordinance requiring vaccination.
A decision of the Illinois supreme court
lays down the law clearly and decidedly,
IN MIR. Breen's opinion, holding that
school boards have no authority to eXpel
pupils from school in case of their failure
to become vaccinated. According to the

vaccination an indispensable precedent

Carl Elvers. a South Main street hay

him story of unusual experience. He

walking leisurely along the side of a
mountain parallel with the river, four
grouse flew from the ground and landed
in a tree. Elvers fired at what he sup
posed was one of the fowls, but it hap
pened to be hornets nest. The hornets
inside of the nest resented the assault
and sailed after the men and their dog.
Elvers threw the gun on the ground in
order to avoid the oncOmers and started
with his partner a good second and the
dog not a bad third. The latter could not
keep up with the men. They all had
a down-hill pull on it, their course be-
ing towards the river, where they had
a canvas boat pulled UP on the bank
far enough to prevent the swiftly NOV
