FIXES HIS NATIONALITY
Nephew of the Late George Pullman
Who Was Denied the Right to
Vote in This Country.

White Plains, n. Y. June 80 =
Nicholas Pullman, nephew of lie
late George Pullman, has filed his first
citizenship papers here. In explana-
tion of this Pullman, who was born
in Chicago, said that on returning to
this country after a residence of many
years abroad he had been denied the
right to vote, and had been advised
that he was not a citizen of the Unit
ed States and that he must undergo
naturalization.
He therefore took out his first citi-
zenshlp papers i'll New York, and later
discovering that he was already a citi-
zen by right of birth he decided to file
the papers in this county, of which he
is a resident.

By DUNCAN N. SMITH
CALL OF THE WILD.

When the weather man is dishing
Waves Of heat at every throw,
Then If ever man goes fishing
Is the time he wants TO go.
SO he fills a trimming fagon.
Gets some tackle and a tent
And then. jumping in the wagon,
Tells the man 10 let her went.
Hear
Those wheels
Buzzing in your head?
Feel
That queer sensation
GnaWing at you
Under your new SIS
Washable vest2
That is the call Of the wild.
Nature
Who never was bashful.
Speaks right up and says:
Man.
You blooming chump,
Come away
From that hot town!
Come TO the woods,
Where there Is nothing
But solitude
And mosquitoes
And as we said
In the delightful
And immortal little verse
At the top
OF this spasm.
He goes.
Sure,
He goes.
He doesn't know any better.
Though experience
Has raped him over the knuckle
Many times,
He goes
Looking for a bite,
And the mosquitoes
And gnats,
Knowing why he is there,
Accommodate him
Good and plenty.

Excessive Water Drinking.

DIR. X. Beerwald of Berlin is opposed
to the free drinking of water so often
advised. He says Excessive water
drinking not only produces temporary
disturbance; it also creates direct Or
ganic disorders. The heart and kid
neys are particularly affected by the
eicess. and in these cases the vascular
system is overcharged and the heart
and kidneys overworked. Proof of such
q condition is frequently seen in cases
Of slight injury. A man who suffers
frequently from thirst bleedS easily,
and we may well consider that excess.
i've thirst is sign that the amount
Of fluid in the body is not kept within
bounds and that this condition must
be remedied by opposing the feeling
