Not Contrary to Fact,

George AIDE attended recently a
dinner Of theatrical people in Boston
The stage folks sang songs and told
stories, but Mr.. AIDE, who is very
quiet and retiring, would neither
sing nor speak. He was, he said, no
good at anything of that kind.
! Finally, though, the calls for Mr..
AIDE became too vehement The young
man had to yield. He rose and said ::

The Ohedient Boy,


James B. was out sailing a boat the

had sailed good way out in the pond,
and the big boy said:

over your ankles, and I've been in
after her every time"

Tragical muses. have wrung

TUBERCULOSIS FROM COW.

At a meeting of the Berlin Medical
society the question was again dis
cussed as to whether bovine tubercu-
losis could be transferred to human be-
ings. Professor Won HaEsemann
showed the strength OF Professor
Koch's theory from prolonged observa-
lions, and declared that tuberculosis
certainly could be transferred through
food, which caused tuberculosis tumor
of the intestines. This frequently heals
itself. but sometimes spreads to other
parts of the body. He added:
I'm no case, however, does the infec-
ton cause ordinary tuberculosis of the
lungs, which results in phthisis, and
since the fact that this bovine tuber-
culosis of the human intestines is
never by itself fatal. Professor Koch's
assertion, to all practical intents and
purposes, has turned out quite right.
1t would, therefore, be harmless to feed
children with uncooked milk, but the
milk which is commonly sold contains
a number of other dangerous ingred-
tents, which frequently lead to catarrh
of the intestines."

have prepared their measure for the

state and Arizona and New Mexico the
other. They will bring it before the

because of the opposition of the demo-

the fact that some of the republican
supporters OF statehood are not entire
