handed in the receipt all right, and
went to his desk. The boss looked
at him curiously several times during
the day, but said nothing further to
him until closing up time. Then he
asked John:
"What did Mr. Blank say when
you took him that money this morn :

New Charge Against the South.

Albar~ n. Y, October 16.-That
summer cations and winter trips to
the South are fruitful sources Of ty.
phoid epidemics is the belief express
ed today by Secretary Stuart, of the
State Health board, in connection
with an outbreak of typhoid ia the
town of Athens, Gree nc County. The
local health board reported two cases
in the family of farmer whose name
the board withholds. While but two
cases have occurred there, fourteen
cases in other parts Of the State arc
reported to be those who were this
farmers summer boarders. It's the
belief of the board experts that the
periodical recurrence of typhoid cpl
demics.twice in each year is traccable
to chat of spring or winter vacation in
the South; that Of the fall to summer
vacations to farms having contami-
mated water supply.

Woe betide the luclless individ-

their weary way through session aft
er session and congress after con-
gress, sometimes getting favora-
bic report from the house in one ses-
sion and the senate in the next, but
somehow failing to receive final
sanction.
Pathetic sights are witnessed ev-

.gress is in session in connection with
these old claims. The old timers
around the building come to know
the claimants, and it is easy to fol-
low their fading fortune in the mute
evidence of their despair. They
grow older and grayer and thinner

Fejuvenated for the moment with
the hope that they have another
