Grip.

1t is a good plan in these days of
sneezes, coughs, raw thoats, dripping
eyes and sore noses to keep on terms of
familiar intercourse with the family
physician. Grip. or ia grippe"
abounds. No chances should be taken
with this specious. dangerous and in
fections malady. The Evening Star in
its news columns says:
Physicians recognize the fact that
the grip is a readily communicable, and
one sneeze from a sufferer, it is conced-
ed, might base easily spread the germs
to dozens of persons in the vicinity,
either on the streets on in the stores
Consequently the medical fraternity is
anticipating marked increase in the
number of its patients with the next
week or ten days. because the busy
little germs require about that length
of time to make their presence felt.
The weekly report of the health depart
men issued today, shows that there
were seven deaths from grip i'm the dis
trict during the week ending December
q. and this is taken as indisputable
evidence of the wide prevalence of the
disease, because grip is not often a
fatal malady."
1t may be that there are physicians
who do not know much more about
the cause and cure Of this affiiction than
laymen do. but it is a good thing to
make the physician assume respon-
sibility for the correct treatment of it.
II he does not know what treatment is
best, he will. if he is a physician worthy
of the name, try to inform himself
Men should not trifie or take gamb-
ling chances on promiscuous dragging
and drinking. Grip is grip and not
picnic.

tSdNdnnaD news.
The newspapers during the past few
days have carried two stories of So
called human interest" that go toward
Illustrating how narrow and small life
may become under certain circumstan-
ces. Oddly enough, both of the stories
to which we have reference, were from
Massachusetts; one from Essex and the
other from Somerville. In the first in
stance man of the name of Critten-
den, who had lived as if he were vic
tim of extreme poverty for years, and
who had frequently received charitable
aid from his neighbors, died, and an
examination of his effects showed that
he was worth upwards of 100000, which
he had deposited in the banks. In the
second case, Benjamin Hadley. of SOM
erville, died leaving an estate of some
$l,500,000 value. He had never divulg-
ed in any diversion, had never spent
a penny in purchasing a pleasure for
any human being, had never given a
cent or thought to making brighter the
life of himself or any other person.
These two men led negative sorts of
lives. Measured by their accumula-
lions. their careers might have been
called successful. They piled up money
but their wealth never did anybody
any good Their activities were always
selfish. The only happiness they ever
knew was in piling one dollar upon AM
other. They held aloof from their kind.
for fear that one of their beloved dol
lars would be required of them They
never assisted the progress of the race.
They never lent a hand to the advance
ment of civilization. Their existence
was barren. There was nothing of the
milk of human Kindness in their hearts.
They were utterly dispicable Their
diety was the dollar

The JOY of Life.

(From the Detroit Free Press).
1 do not wish for riches vast,
Nor fame or high estate,
1 do not care when I walk past
To have men call me great.
The joy of life is all l ask.
In perfect peace to dwell;
Beneath the summer sun to bask
And live and dream a spell.
Good health is but my one desire,
With just a friend or two,
A wife to love me and inspire,
In what l have to do.
The joy of living is enough,
No greater boon can be;
Then, though my roads be e'er so rough
Content shall dwell with me.
For one need not be rich or great,
Or even known to fame;
Round humble cot or vast estate
Earth's glories are the same.
The same sun shines on us all,
The same stars CLEAN at night;
The same flowers which deck the garden
wall
The poorest man may sight.
Then grant to me the joy of life,
And I'll not ask for more:
For in the heat of bitter strife
l know when 1t is DER.
Beneath Gods sky I'll take my rest
And glory in its blue.
With peace and love within my breast
AS God meant we should do.

There is a sneezing and there is a

To be heard all over town;
There are hacking coughs not lacking
Chilly thrills that will not down.
There is a grooming, there's a moaning,
And abroad has gone the tip,
Get your whiskey quinine frisky,
For the town has got the grip.
Public dizzy, doctors busy,
Druggists working with broad smile,
More new cases in all places
Showing up each little while,
Wives despairing. men all swearing,
First tear, and then a frown,
Lots of nurses, empty purses.
For the grip has come to town.
Every meeting. ones repeating
To his neighbor good advice
How to keep well; how to sleep we'll,
And it sounds 50 very nice,
But It's needless for folks needless
Wise advice let slip.

that there is between the actress on the
stage and the actress in real life. (Par-
don the coinage!) There is too much
affectation, supposed reality, substitu-
ton, and counterfeit among many eng
fish women.
But look at your Irish woman-the

Temperance Growing in Ireland.
The growth of the temperance move
ment in Ireland is marked. A feature
of the work of the clergy which is
worthy of notice is the appeal which
was recently made throughout the
country for temperance at the Christ
mas season. 1t is well known that this
season is always the excuse for a good
deal of intemperance in Ireland, as in
other countries, and the clergy tried
to avoid this by issuing special pledges
to cover the Christmas season only.
Another feature of the temperance agi-
tation which is working successfully
is the argument that in diminishing the
consumption of spirits those who do so
are diminishing the taxes paid to Eng
land by Irishmen. 1t is a fact that can
not be too generally known that the
revenue tax on spirits and beer is one
of the greatest sources of English rev.
enue, and a blow struck at the con-
of spirits hits John Bull
where he feels it most-in his pocket.

Dr. Hawkes. Evidence Regarding
 Blood Stains.


 Your paper next reports Doctor Bartlett as taking up the considera- tion of the bloodstains on the back stairs and hallway. On this branch of the case he is reported as saying: "Blood stains were not found upon the carpet in the room where MT Edwards body was lying, but numer~ ous drops of blood were found on the stairs leading from the basement to the first floor and some were on the carpet here at the head of the stairs. These were not, as alleged, near the right side of the stairs (going up) but near the center of the treadway and in some eases nearer the left side of the treadwsy. There was a little blood on the railing at the right of the stairs.

 I notice in your report of Doctor Bartletts statement that he speaks of a wash bowl containing either tobacco or bloodstains It would be interesting to know if the authorities ever took steps to ascertain which these stains were. blood or tobacco. If tobacco. they would again negative the suicide the- ory since MT Edwards used tobacco in no form whatever.
 Your report implies that the pistol was found the first time that a search was made for 1t. We know that a search was made for pistol in the house (Mr. Ponds testimony on com- mission) the day the body was found If no search was made in the yard until January 8, 1908, when the body was found on January 3d, it would be interesting to know why it was not made. We know that some search was made in the yard before January Sth, because the bottle was found there on January 9th. (Donnelly p. 320 Record Coroner's Inquiry) two days before the pistol was found.
 There are many other interesting facts in my possession which bear di- rectly upon the probability of suicide or murder in this investigation which, for reasons which should be obvious to any one, I do not feel at liberty to give publicity to, but which, neverthe- less, so strengthen the opinion of my coif ond all other mem tere of Mr. Ed wards family, as well as his friends that he did not kill himself, as td make that opinion to our minds a cer- tainty.

 You report Doctor Bartlett as speak ing of the tangle of vines and bushes in this yard which would make the finding of a small revolver difficult This tangle did not begin immediately outside of the back door, but at dis tance of some twenty-five feet from that door in the direction of the rear of the yard.

BOer Farmer Boys Make Good Shots
On the African VeIdt.

Three lions were killed near Piet-

year-old son of Jozef Erasmus, a
Boer farmer. 1t appears that young
Erasmus was on his way to the Mes
sina mine and had outspanned his
donkey team. when his kaffir boy
came running to tell him that three
lions were tackling the donkeys.
Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard
in the direction indicated. On his
arrival at the spot he found the
lions lying around one of the dom
keys. He fred and killed big
liOness The other two jumped up
but he was ready and shot another
(yOunger) lioness. The young lion
which was left ran behind some
brushwood. Erasmus first collected
his donkeys and brought them into
safety and then once more carefully
approached the scene of the fight.
In order to find out if the two lion
esses were dead he fired another shot
at one of them. This disturbed the
surviving lion who tbereupOn came
forth roaring. Erasmus was aga n
ready and shot him dead on the spot.
Asked by the Volkesstem correspond
ent whether he was alone at the
time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no,
