The Tragedy oil the Parishes.

Tallulah was in a panic. The two
available doctors were absolutely ex-
hausted; the nurses were leaving town;
the local officials had fed or were III;
the bank was closed; many stores had
shut up; and there were not enough
able-bodied men in the place to give
the simplest care to the i'll and dy-
ing Among the vacationers who had
returned to New Orleans was DR..
Charles Chassaignac, a leading physi-
clan, and he volunteered to go to
Ta1ulah, and take charge. With him
were sent DR.. Won Ezdorg, of the Ma
rine hospital service, and DR.. Ander-
son, representing the state board. The
three found a terrible condition of af-
fairs5 fever in almost every house; a
lack of necessaries; no hospital ac-
commodatiOns; the two local physi-
clans on the verge of breakdown; and
the houses filed with stegomyia. They
turned the two local hotels into hos
pitfalls. With the help of the priest,
the minister, and a few citizens, who
had had the good sense to protect
themselves against infection by wear
ing gloves and wells, the little medical
force undertook the formida BILE work
of mosquito eXtermina ton. Dividing
the town into sections they first oiled
every cistern, barrel, and tank. and
then fumigated the whole settlement,
house by house. In one house which
sheltered hundreds of mosquitoes they
found mother and five children all
down with the fever. and the father in
a state Of collapse. Three of these
six patients died. Probably five hun
bred people were left in town after all
those who could escape had gotten
away. OF these, three hundred and
twelve had yellow fever. Yet in six
weeks, so efficient was the work of the
sanitary forces, TalIulah was rid of the
pest. One of the three rescue work
ers forfeited his own life. DR.. An
derson believed himself to be immune,
and woul dnot wear net or gloves. He
was severely bitten by mosquitoes, and
died of swift and violent onset of the
fever

President Ripley's position is I'M

LESSON OF WEsTONs WALK.


Is there not a suggestion in the re-
cent achievement of that veteran pc
destrian, Edward Payson Weston, for
a later generation that has known him
not unless by accidental references to
the exploits of his younger days? While
he has been in comparative retirement
wonderful things have happened. The
bicycle has risen and declined. The
trolley has displaced the horse car, and
now the automobile is having it's day,
with visions of airships in the not dis
tant future. The prophet of pedestrian
ism has apparently lost the honor that
once was his in his own country. But
wouldn't it be well to encourage a re-
VivaI of WestOnism2 It would give
greater zest to the new standards Of
speed and comfort to which we have
attained, and it would be found to pos
sess a genuine zest Of its own. The
walking habit has a value that we are
in danger of losing. Not only is it nat
III al and wholesome exercise, but it re-
news our intimacy with nature as
nothing in the new dispensation can
do.-Boston Transcript.
