WHEN THEY AGREED.
Two Civil War Opponents Finally
Reached an Understanding.
CKansas City Starr

1t was in the border states of this
country where brother rose up against
brother, neighbor against neighbor,
that the strangeSt incidents of the
civil war occurred. Before Sumter was
fired on, Bill Dunn and Sylvester Bar
keT were sworn comrades. They hunt
ed, fished and went sparkling togeth-
er. Then they married and lived on ad-
joining farms. AS occasion arose they
helped each other in the field, borrowed
corn and snapped sorghum. 1t was an
ideal friendship till the tocsin sounded.
Dunn went into the COnfederacy and
became a captain of the Schuyler coun-
ty guards. Barker thought the union
was right and that Dunn and his
crowd We're insurgents. One day
Dunn's men gathered Barker up and
Dunn sentenced him to be shot for
making war on the south. The union
commanders had been executing BUSH
whackers and the rebels evened up
when they got a chance.
"All right, Bill said Barker, but
what's going to become of the oats
and the hay? There amt nobody there
to harvest them
Got much of a crop, Syl?" asked
Captain Dunn.
Bout twenty acres
THE mischief! Well, you can't af-
ford to lose all that. You trot along
home, get your stuff laid by and then
come back or I'll send after you"
Barker went home and harvested his
hay and oats and gave his wife direc-
lions about running the farm. Then he
went back and surrendered himself to
Dunn's command.
Get your hay In. Syl?" asked Dunn.
you bet"
How'd it turn out?''
bout ton a half to the acre. 1t
was a bit thin"
What you got on that 40 down on
the creek?"
"Nuthin' Was goin' to sow it in
clover but for this"
Got the seed?"
mo, but the Widow Hopper was go
in to swap me some for a couple o.

at didn't come off. That horse ira
der from Iowa got cold feet after he
borrowed a hundred from her. Darn
scalawag."
"Ain't he? Wish we'd catch him.
There'd be a wedding or a funeral
sure"
The two enemies sat by the campfire,
smoked and talked of the old days till
late at night Finally Captain Dunn
knocked the ashes out of his pipe, and
told one of his lieutenants TO get Bar
ker some blankets
What time must / be ready. Bill? ?"
asked Barker, casually, as he turned to
follow the lieutenant.
Couldn't you take the oath to Jeff
Davis, Syl?" said Dunn, yawning.
Am 'fraid not, Bill; I'm union
man, you know"
Damn you'll Good night"
In the morning after breakfast Cap
tain Dunn told the condemned that he
had given his case long and serious
during the night, and
that he had decided to Danish him in
stead of shooting him.
Where are you goin' to send me,
BilI?" asked the condemned
Down in Mississip."
mo. you amt. i won't GO
You're mulish, Syl."
IF got that far from home I'd never
get back. Nights well be dead
The two men sat on a log in medita-
tive silence. Dunn's men, leaning on
their squirrel rifles and slug charged
shotguns, looked curiously on.
IN tell you what, Syl,' said Dunn,

DERMIT SPREAD OF DISEASE.

Whatever the reason, it must be
plain that the city health department
is a failure, so far as its most import
ant duty. the prevention of disease, is
concerned. For months the number of
scarlet fever cases has been abnormal,
and the rate has been maintained
steadily, which is of itself evidence of
Ineffective quarantine. Such reports as
have been had from individual cases
tend TO show that when case is re-
ported and the quarantine flag nailed
up the health departments supervision
is at an end. Instead, with knowledge
of the case at hand, it should be the
duty of the department to see that
every precautiOn is taken to prevent
further spread of the disease and II
possible trace the source of the con-
tagion so there may. be no additional
cases from that source.
Every intelligent physician knows
that scarlet fever is traceable to some
focal point of infection; effective health
departments make it their business to
locate these original sources of dis
ease and by isolating them prevent
any additional cases. In Salt Lake
however, so far as outside observation
shows, the department makes no such
effort, the houses where the disease ex-
lists are not isolated, and it is left to
the parents of patients to observe the
Jaw or not. as they please.
The injury from scarlet fever is not
limited to the deaths it inficts; in
some cases of recovery the after ef-
fects are only less serious than
death itself, resulting in disability or
impaired health for life. With the
amount of money that is spent on the
health department the people have
right to expect better service; they
have a right-though they have been
disappointed in this-to expect the head
of the department to give some little
of his time and attention to direction
of his official work: they have right
to demand protection from the criminal
careIessness or ignorance of those who
pay no attention to quarantine law, but
permit innocent neighbors and associ-
ates to become exposed TO one of the
most dangerous of diseases.
1t is time for a reform in this par
ticular branch of the municipal admin
istration and the reform might well
begin at the head of the department.

ROAST BEEF OF OLD ENGLAND
(London Expressly

A number of reasons have been sug-
gested by experts why the popularity
of the roast beef of Old England" has
waned.
A prominent diet specialist puts it
down to- the fact that this is an age of
every man his own DOCTOR" and be-
cause too much meat has been for

THE whole trouble lies in the fact
that nowadays people have gone crazy
