Hot Water for Typhoid.

At the London Hospital there is a
little girl with typhoid fever who is
undergoing treatment which, it is said,
has only once before been employed
in the history Of that institution. For
Eve days past the patient, who is only
5 years old, has been kept in bath
of hot water. She lies on water pill
lows and her body is entirely under
water, which is kept at constant
temperature of l0l0 by an arrange
ment of hot and cold water entering
the mixing cistern, from which it flows
into the bath and thence out by a
pipe. In five days the girls tempera-
ture has fallen from 1862 to 1902
but the crisis has yet to come. AT
least three weeks must be spent IN
the bath before the disease can be
shaken of. 1t is said to be most un-
usual to find typhoid case necessi-
tating this treatment. Some years
ago, at the London Hospital, man
was kept immersed for Elk weeks and
recovered. In the present case the
girl has moments of consciousness, dur
ing which she asks for her mother.

An Army Kitten.

One evening toward the close OF the
war while Union soldiers lay in camp
on a hillside near the Stsunton River
the cry of Halt who goes there ?"
from a sentry started every lounger
to his feet, and several of the more
curious ran to the suard-line to find
out what the trouble was. A minute
later all knew that the night visitor
who had been challenged was no enc
nv. A little girl, about ten years Of
age, holding a little white kitten,
came forward into the light of the
fires, conducted by two soldiers who
looked as proud as if they were es-
cortlng queen.
The whole regiment gathered, In
GLIDING the colonel himself, to look at
the child and hear her tell her story.
A very short story it was-scarcely a
paragraph; but there was matter
enough in it for full chapter. She
lived nearby with her father, who was
sick and poor; and they were North
erner., she said, and Union folks.
Her mother was dead, and her brother
had been killed while fighting in the
Federal army. She WANTED to give
something" and when Union soldiers
came she thought she would bring her
pet kitten and present it to the colon
ell.
The colonel took the little girl in
his arms and kissed her, and her kit
ten, too, and he was not bit ashamed
of his weakness. He accepted the
kitten with thanks, and his innocent
donor was CALAMITY waited Oh to her
humble home, loaded with generous
contributions.
The white kitten was adopted by
the regiment, but was considered the
property and special pet of the colonel;
and when the war WAS over he took 1t
home with him. Like the white lamb
that stayed and fed with the victor'
after the battle Of Antietam, the little
creature was a daily inspiration to
better feelings and thoughts in the
presence of all that is worst-a living
flag of truce cleaning among the
thunder clouds of human passion and
strife.

Where Old Hats Go.

Needn't send that old hat home,
said the customer as he placed the new
ly purchased derby on his head. "It's
too shiny around the edges, and it
would just take up room in the closet.
The customer walked ont Of the
store and the clerk turned to friend.
That means cigar money for me,
he said, "and I smoke good cigars at
that. In most stores 1t wouldn't do
me very much good, as all the discard
ed hats are given to the drivers Of the
delivery wagons. But here the house
allows the clerks to have the hats,
and as a result we make little extra
money. About once a week the
bushelman comes around TO the store
looking for old hats, and when l give
him all l have collected he pays on
an everage of Is cents apiece for
them.
after the bushelmsn has made his
rounds be takes the hats to shop on
South street, and there they are taken
apart. The silk ribbons and bands
and sweatbands are removed and the
hat given a thorough cleaning and
new material and trimmings put on.
When it is all fixed up it is extremely
difficult to tell it from a new hat, and
in many cases it will sell for as high
as 81. When you can buy hat for
Is cents, clean it for about 8 cents,
put 25 cents worth of leather and rib
bon on it and sell it for dollar or
mole, you see where the profit comes
in, don't you" Philadelphia Press.

the Third ward he beat his opponent
by two votes. In the Second ward, the

died at his home here last night of
hemorrhage of the brain. He was
born May 8, 1916, at South Berwick,
Me-, was graduated from Harvard col

Taunton and other New England
Cities.
In 1883 the Burlington railroad de-

Bartlett to plan the work and draw up
the necessary rules for its operation.
The Bartlett system of employees in

Defeated
Reelected by Majority

In the most exciting election In the
history of South ST. Paul, George
l.. Lyle was yesterday reelected may
or over James Forsythe by the mar

1t was by far the most hotly con-

could the result be told. Business cares
We're practically forgotten for the day,
the citizens devoting their entire time
to the election. Thirty hacks and car

early morning until the polls closed at
night hauling voters to the polls, and
no one entitled to a vote was over

While an entire city ticket and school
board were to be elected, interest CEN

by the two candidates was a pretty
