So That When Hobson sneezed His
.S Good Wife Was Right There
~ ~, with the Remedy. I. k::s: ! >tt=s

5Ss Mr.. HObsOn sneeZed and Mrs. Hobson
remarked that he must have caught
cold. Mr.. Hobson is one of those men
who hate to have fuss made over them.
He has been trying to impress that fact
on his wife's> mind for 20 years, relates
the Chicago Daily News.
What makes you think I've taken
cold ?" he demanded, irritably,
=; "You sneezed," replied Mrs. Hob
son. h:,-,>: It.
THAT doesn't signify" He paused.
"But it does signify 1t is one of the
first signs of cold. You went out with
the ashes this morning without thing
round your neck" ...... -. .... /
II always do" =! :,
"And now you've caught cold."..:,
Mr.. Hobson returned to the reading of
his newspaper without replying. In a
few moments Mrs. Hobson said:
''Henry."
."Well?"
you've got to do something for that
cold"
Cant sneeze without being accused
of cold? Is there any law against
sneezing, or do I have to get a. permit
from the health Department."
Il don't see anything foolish in taking
cold in time,'' Mrs. Hobson said, calm
ly. If you would let me put your feet
in hot water and mustard, and get you to
bed
Mr.. 'Hobson resumed his paper, and as
he did so he felt an annoying tickling in
his nose. He struggled heroically for
nearly half minute. Then he sneezed
again.
'There-" said Mrs. Hobson, in melan-
choly Triumph. "You'ye sneezed again"
1--WE sneezed twice, and I'm not
ashamed of it, Hobson replied coldly.
IF feel like it, I'm going to sneeze
again. I'm"
Three successive and violent sternu-
tations interrupted him
"Now will you let me heat that water.

of sensitive membrane The irritation
may be caused by the introduction of any
small particle of foreign matter, such as
grain of dust Snuff has been known
to produce sneeze; so has pepper. You
can get up fairly good imitation by
tickling the nostrils with straw. 1t is
not, as you imagine, an infallible indi-
cation of a cold"
Il suppose" said Mrs. Hobson, reflect
lively, that you would object to an onion
poultice. too?''
Hobson rose from his chair and started
for the door. With his hand on the
knob he paused to say, with dignity:
I'm going up to my room now. I've got
some work to do, so guess had better
be alone for the rest of the evening""
Hobson sneezed twice on the way up
stairs. Then the door of his den closed
explosively. Fifteen minutes later the
door opened and Hobson's voice called
down the stairs: "Maria!"
What is it. dear?"
Say. IF you think really ought to
take hot foot bath suppose it won't
do any particular harm; whether I've
got cold or not Would it be troubling
you too much to heat the water?'
Mrs. Hobson's voice replied cheer
fully:
Its all ready now. dear. I've heated
it and got some blankets nice and hot.
When you're ready I'll bring them up."

city and to carry out the plans for a
new and simple Fourth of July.
This received the hearty approval o.
Mayor Harrison, was endorsed by the
city council, the board of education
and the fire underwriters, was incor-
porated by the secretary of state OF
May 3, with capital stock OF
81 900, 900, par value of shares five dol
lars, each share non-protit bearing and
each bearing the following motto:
For the Children and Their Fourth
of July. Nothing for Profit, bu:
Everything for Healthy SPORT"
The incorporation, now known as
the Chicago Amusement association,
and already actively engaged in prep
arations for the celebration of the
Fourth, faced the problem that Chi
cago children and adults use approxi-
mately each year about 10000, 900 sep
arate pieces of fireworks for the
Fourth alone.
During the "a hours between the
evening of the third and the night of
the Fourth it is estimated that IL ,000,-
900 hrecrackers are discharged, $780,
900 torpedoes, over 100000 Roman can
dies, and over 100000 explosives of
other character A large percentage
of these are fireworks prohibited by
the law, explosives that the city ordi-
ances do not permit to be sold by
dealers, or, if illegally sold by them, to
be discharged by the purchasers in the
public streets
AS it is the purpose of the Amuse-
ment association to have the ordinan-
ces of the city observed during the
Fourth, it has also been and is it's in
tention to provide for the small boy
and his sister substitute equally en-
tertaining and much less dangerous tc
life and limb. The association for the
municipality of Chicago is to act the
kind parent and to see that every
small boy within it's borders has the
very best kind of Fourth of July.
The. Amusement association, SUP
ported by 255 prominent citizens who
are acting as trustees. offers the
following program:
On the close of the public schools
the distribution of 100000 framed
copies of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, one to every school child.
To provide for INDECENT children free
f1recrackers and torpedoes on the
Fourth.
To have every public school play
ground in the city, various convenient
lots and the public parks entirely
thrown open the day and night of the
Fourth to the children and adults ut
the city.
To have the school children educat-
ed as to the danger of suffering from
lockjaw from injuries incurred through
the use of blank cartridges and pis-
tolls.
To give at night in three or more To-
cations of the city extensive free fire.
