MY VALENTINE.

A scepter in his grasp,
And in whose clinging Grasp
A ty-ant power is masked in satin
folds
Oh eager, azure, watchful, wondering
eyes
Which with a glance control,
And whose approval marks the
goal
OF yassal-hearts who deem thee over
wise
On roguish dimpled teasing lips
where Irvine
A wreath of rosy smiles,
Replete with wiIes-
Oh. baby. sweet-be thou my valen

What "Eoci" Means.

Health authorities have been ask
ed to define the meaning OF the term
new foci discovered" used in the
press dispatches from New Orleans
in connection with the yellow fever
epidemic. II means new starting
points or new localities where the
disease has broken out For instance,
in the press dispatches this morning.
il is mentioned that the total foci to
date is 90, meaning that there are
93 localities where the disease is
prevailing in New Orleans up to this
time.

men in their military education, but
they derive a great deal of pleasure
from the social features of the an
nual outings. The officers are gentle
men in every sense of the word, and
will be pleased TO show the public
every courtesy and consideration not
inconsistent with their duties. The
people of Paducah should at all times
extend to officers and men a welcome
and comradeship that will show how
glad Paducah is to have them. and
will make them regret to leave as
sincerely as We shall all regret to
lose them.

People south of Here Scared.

The yellow fever scare Is rapidly
spreading north and even the small
est towns in Tennessee on all rail
roads have quarantined against the
south and shotguns have been
brought into service to maintain the
strict quarantine.
Yesterday well known railroad
man from New Orleans arrived in
Paducah and dropped into the local
!. c. dispatching offices. He had Just
come from New Orleans and stated
with relief that Paducah was the first
town he had struck on the entire
trip at which he could get off with
out having a pistol showed into his
face and health certificate de
handed.
He conversed for about an hour
with the dispatchers and other Off
cials and stated that everybody who
could get away was coming north and
stopping off at the first place.

Residents Want a Clean Town.

Since the crusade for a cleaner
city began, the residents have begun
to take interest in the work.
o. This morning President Pendley,
of the board of health, has received
numerous complaints from private
residents of bad alleys and places in
the city. Each complaint is noted and
given the sanitary officers to lnvestl-

where stables had been cleaned of
filth and the filth dumped into the al

Another Danger.

Another danger that Paduoah Is
being subjected TO Is OF being quar-
antlned against by some OF the small
towns around here. According TO re
port the matter Is under advisem, IL
in some Of them. The health au-
thoritles there argue that IL does
them little good to quarantine wher
a refugee who desires to come there
has only to come to Paducah. where
no questions are asked. get him a
health certificate, and from Paducah
go wherever he desires. People from
Paducah are now admitted simply

quarantine, but the customers Of
merchants living in scores OF sur

that If Memphis didn't quarantine

little towns would quarantine against

A number of Paducah merchants.
it is said, are hearing the same thing
from some OF their customers IN

men in Paducah favor a quarantine.
