Boston, Mass, Jan. /, I9o7.-It occurred
in a street in one Of the suburbs Of Boston,
The night was dark and rainy and the father
on his homeward journey was thinking of his
children, who perhaps had played outside all
day, possibly wetting their feet and taking
cold, causing Sore Throat and hoarseness in
the chest, which is liable to be followed by
those dreaded diseases, Pneumonia, Pleunsy,
Bronchitis, and Group.
One of his children met him and said that
Johnny had sprained his leg by falling into
coal hole in front Of Mr.. Rooney's which Mr..
Jones who delivered the coal did not cover up.
The father at once thought OF Anti-ltis.
