"Old Gorgon" Graham in the Satur-
day Evening Post

Gay ENEIllE EOSL
Loose talking breeks up more firms
and more homes than any other one
thing I know. The father Of lies lives
in hell. but he spends a good deal Of
his time in Chicago. You'll find him on
the Board Of Trade when the markets
webbing, saying that the Russians are
just about TO eat up Turkey, ana that
it'll take 20 900 600 bushels of our wheat
to make the bread for the sandwich;
and down in the street asking if you
knew that the cashier Of the Teenth
National was leading a double life as
a single man in the suburbs and a sin
ular life for a married man in the city;
and out on Prairie avenue, whispering
that its too bad Mabel smokes Tur-
kish cigarettes. for she's got such pref
~ curly hair. and how sad il is that
Daisy and Dan are going to separate.
but they do say that he--sh! sh. hush;
here she comes. Yet when you come
10 wash you pan Of dirt. and the lies
have all been carried off into the
fumes. and you've got 10 the few par
ticles Of solid, eighteen-caret truth
left, you'll find it's the Sultan who's
smoking Turkish cigarettes; and that
Mabel is trying cubebs for her catarrh:
and that the cashier of the Teenth Ma
tional belongs to a whist club in the
suburbs and is the superintendent of a
Sunday-school in the city: and that
Dan has put Daisy up to visiting her
mother 10 ward off a threatened swoop
down from the old lady; and that the
Car hasn't done a blame thing except
TO become the father of another girl
baby. There are two ways of treating
gossip about other people. and they're
both good ways. One is not TO listen to
it. and the other is not TO repeat II.

TIE GERMS OF M ILLS
Progress in the Study of Bacteria as
the Cause of Various
Diseases.

A new conception of a disease or of
the cause of a disease in man makes slow
progress. This was s~trikingly demon
strated, says Gary N. Calkins, In
PROTOCOL and Disease" in Century,
when Pasteur first announced that many
human ills are caused by living organ
isms, and the fight which he and Lister
waged to establish the germ theory is
still fresh in the minds of scientific men.
Little by little they and their followers
made Roadway against the opposition,
and disease after disease was shown to
be caused by the minute bacteria.
To a much less extent the same ION
servatism is seen to-day in the wide
spread opposition to the p~rotozoa theory
of disease-less, because the battle for
the germ theory in general need not be
refought, With malaria the fight has
been woa; with smallpox and yellow
fever the battle is now on, and time is
needed to overcome the present opposi.
tion-an opposition based upon the same
grounds as that of 80 years ago., name
ly, that the foreign structures found in
the human body and regarded as or
sanisms are the effect of the disease and
not its cause. With bacteria such op.
position was overcome by the culture
methods introduced by Koch. In proto-
goa the difficulties of obtaining similar
cultures are far greater. and this In part
explains the failures to cultivate the
malaria organisms or the organism of
smallpox by the usual archaeological
methods. 1t is highly probable, how
ever, that when as much attention is
given to the study of dlsease-causing
protocol as is now given to that of bac-
terra, all these difficulties will be over
come, and that as our knowledge Of this
group increases we shall find and con
troll many more causes of human dis
ease.

WIEN lNDiAilS WERE THICK.
Perils Encountered by People of the
Western Frontier Some Forty
Years AGO.

Since the United States began to
be, there never was another post such
as Fort Philip Kearney, commonly
called Fort Phil Kcarney." In Pear
sons Dir. Cyrus Townsend Brady gives
a graphic description Of the Dorils en-
countered by its founders. "From its
establishment in 1866 10 its abandon
ment some two years later it was prac-
tically in Il state of siege. | do not
mean that It was beleaguercd by the
Indians in any formal. persistent in
vestment, but that it was so constantly
and so closely observed by war parties.
hidden in the adjacent woods and the
mountain passes, that outside of its
stoclkade there was little safety for any
thing less thar q company of infantry
or a troop of cavalry, and not always.
as we shall see, for them. There was
no certainty about the attacks, except
an assurance that one might be made
at any moment. AS old James Bridger,
a veteran plainsman and fur trader, a
scout whose fame is scarcely less than
that Of Kit Carson, and the confidential
companion anu duflSCt VI harrington
in 1866, was wont to say, 'Whar you
don't see no Injuns, thar they're sartin
to be thickest.'
"Not a stick of timber could be cut.
not an acre of grass moved, except I'M
der heavy guard. Herds of beef cattle,
the horses for the cavalry and mounted
infantry, the mules for the supply wag-
ons could not Craze even under the
walls of the fort without protection.
The country teemed with game, but
hunting parties were absolutely forbid
den. To take a stroll outside the stock
ado on q summer evening was TO invite
death, or worse, II the stroller happen
ed to be a woman"
