Chambers hMan

Chambers Is a disease Of horses but
one from which, unfortunately, human
being are not entirely exempt. For
merry cases Of human glanders were
thought to be exceedingly few and far
between, the statistics Of the register
general IN England, for example, show
ing a mortality of only one or two a
year. Latterly, however, WithimprOVed
means Of diagnosis st our command, It
has been proved that many persons had
glanders and died Of it with the real
nature of the disease unrecOgnized-
The ulcers have been diagnosed as
tuberculosis, as those of typhoid, or
smallpox, or of some form of blOOdpOis-
Oning, and they have been treated &C
eOrdingly, with, of course, fatal results;
for CHAMBERS is very dreadful disease,
the cure of which depends upon prompt
and radical measures.
Today there is no excuse for any fail
ure in correct diagnosis, because the
special bacillus causing glanders-calleC
the bacillus mallei-is peculiar to this
disease.

Around the table sit his wife, Mrs.
Brown; the village millner, Mrs. An

Mr.. Brown took $40 out Of his pocket

with the remark that there was $40
toward the $40 he had promised her.
Mrs. Brown handed the bin to Mrs.
Andrews, the milliner, saying, That

drews in turn gave it to Mr.. Jordan,
remarking that it would pay for the
carpenter work he had done for Der.
Mr.. Jordan handed it to Mr.. Hanley,
requesting his receipted bin for lumber.
Mr.. Hanley gave it back to Mr.. Brown,
saying, THAT pays $40 on my board. "
Mr.. Brown passed it to Mrs. Brown,
saying he had now paid her the so he
had promised her. She in turn paid
Mr.. Black to settle her pastry and
bread account. Mr.. Black handed L

Whole Sermon i'm Philosophy of
Albion B. Smith, the Man Who
Drove Great Northern Railways
First Locomotive.

SEATTLE, Sept. 6.--"Plenty
of work and regular hours"
That's what makes a long life
and a happy one, and keeps a
man or engine from the scrap
heap" says Albion B. Smith.
Don't know Albion B. Smith !?
Well, you are missing something.
Albion B. Smith is the Oldest &C
tive engineer in the United States.
Beside that, he is undoubtedly one
of the most thoroughly happy
men in the world. So you see,
Smith has a very good right to
speak when it comes to telling
the secret of long life and a
happy one.
There is at least one way to get
to the human side of Jas. J. Hill,
the railroad king. That way is to
mention to the empire builder of
the Northwest the names of Al
bion B. Smith, and the william
Crooks"
The William Crooks" is the
first locomotive that ever ran
out of st. Paul, on the st. Paul
G Pacific, the forerunner of the
Great Northern system. Albion
B. Smith was engineer of the
l"William Crooks" for many years.
Jim" Hill has a warm spot in
his heart for both of them.
Just now the veteran engineer
is in charge Of the Hill exhibit at
the Alaska-Yu fair. The chief
features of the exhibit are two
Great Northern engines. One is a
monster freight mogul that stands
for the latest thing in economical
transcontinental transportation.
The other is a tiny tin coffee
pot affair. The tiny tin coffee
pot affair is the civilian
Crooks" or mo. L." as the first
Hill locomotive is Familiarity
known.
When the big fair is over
Smith will go back to his more
modern engine cab, for though
he is past the three score and ter
mark. Smiths eyes are Just al
bright, his nerves just as true
his hand Just as steady as the,
were when he held the throttle
of the william Crooks" back IL

in good standing on the Brock
