Poor Place for White Man.

Poor Place for White Man.
This is no place for the white man
who has to earn his living by the
sweat of his brow. The climate Is
certain to sap his vitality and reduce
him to the physical plane of the ma.
tive. II he fails to go the natives
gait he is almost certain to be the
object Of interest at a funeral. AS far
as that goes, 1t is not necessary for q
white man to be a laborer to make
him likely candidate for the under.
takers attention, because there are
all sorts Of germs laying in wait for
every paleface. II he lodges them all
and gets back to Gods country he is
lucky.
But all the bugs and things are not
after the white folks. While the medi.
cal men have been finding out what a
dangerous enemy the mosquito is to
those of northern birth, they have dis.
covered that the little flea is equally
deadly to the black and yellow tribes.
The flea, like the mosquito, is merely
the distributor of disease. It carries
the bubonic plague from rats to REQ
pie. 1t Is said that a flea feels even
more at home on the short ribs Of a
fat rat than behind the ear Of a curly
dog. But In the course Of time it's
host may die Of the pest and then It
begins to hop in the search for new
quarters. II the wandering flea
