Affairs.

Mayor Bookwalter and City Saniterian
BuehIer were in Chicago yesterday investi-
eating the smallpox detention hospital Of
that city. Before leaving Indianapolis the
mayor said new site had been accepted
ard would be announced as soon as deeds
passed for IT.
When the interurban franchises were up
for discussion the mayor proposed to Mr..
MCGOWAN that the line on which the pest
house would be located should permit the
city to run over its lines a contagious
disease car TO be owned and equipped by
the city. This car would run between the
pesthouse and such parts OF the city as
had smallpox cases. The mayor thought
1t inhuman to bounce" smallpox patients
over the rough country roads. The mayor
also suggested that the line permitting this
service would feel entitled to call itself the
Official Resthouse" route.
The suggestion until this last sentence
was not well received. After the mayor
final joke the interurban men looked on the
whole proposal as a joke. The mayor did
not so intend IL, however, and IL is likely
he Will try 10 establish this service. The
car would be used only for smallpox cases.

UP.TO.DATE FABLES.

Tom McNeal in Topeka Mail and Breeze.
It was noticed that a certain
man who was fond of limburger
cheese was never sick. At one
time there was a family Of mi.
crobes in his system, but they
moved out and located in a tall,
pale college professor who lee
tured on the subject of hygiene
and the proper care of the health.
"Why do you come over here3"
asked the head of another micrObe
family already located in the per-
son Of the professor. cit seems
to me that the man over there is
a mighty good subject to work
on"
cit may seem that way to yOu,''
said the micrObe who had moved,
''but the fact is that that mans
system is saturated with limbur,
ger. don't want to seem inical
about my diet, but even a micrObe
has to draw the line somewhere"
A lean hog that had been near

interest in the corn and the fourth
day he was seen standing at one
edge of the field with a disgusted
look on his face, not offering to
touch the corn that was within
reach. Just then a hungry woods
hog came by and seeing the hog in
the field said: "Well, I wish I
