WOULD GET WEALTH QUICKLY
Farmer Had Nothing But Contempt
for the Moderation Of the Street
Magician.

A patent medicine salesman upon
the streets Of a small Maine village
was giving a free sieight-of-hand per-
Torrance in order to collect a crowd.
Presently he took a handkerchief from
his pocket, held it by n extreme cor
ner, shook it, tossed it into the air,
caught it in his hand and took from
it a 25-cent piece.
There" he remarked, you e I
take this quarter from the handker-
chief, although you saw for yourself
that the handkerchief was empty. I
can get another this way" he added.

TUBERCULOSIS INCREASING.
Nathan straus Tells international
Medical Congress the Plague Is
Rapidly Gaining.

Budapest, Hun.-Nathan Straus, the
New York philanthropist, who or
Tuesday appealed to the International
Medical congress to stop the spread
ing of diseases that result from the
use of infected milk, has submitted
detailed figures to that body to prove
that tuberculosis, instead OF being
conquered, is on the increase.
He cited the official vital statistics
of New York City, which was credited
by DR.. Robert Koch with leading the
whole world in the fight against tuber-
culosis. He showed that the increas.
ing skill Of the physicians in treating
tuberculosis had reduced the death
rate from this disease in proportion to
the population from 2.42 per 1000 in
1902 to 2.39 per 1000 in 1907, and 2.29
in 1908, but he showed that the mum
Der of deaths from tuberculosis in
proportion to the total number of
deaths from all causes had increased
from 1904 per cent, in 1902 to 1890,
in 1908.
Mr.. Straus said:
"The population of New York has
increased 26 per cent since 1902,
while the number of new cases of tu'
berculosis reported in a year has in
creased 100 per cent. Growth of the
city his added e32,291 to the popula'
ton, while the spread of tuberculosis
has added 144,172 to the army of con
sumptives, until the vast resources Of
the great metropolis are taxed to the
utmost to care for these victims OF
the great white plague.

Wealth Awaits Cook.

Minneapolis, MINI. - Besides the
fame that will endure for centuries,
which come to Dr.. Cook for his
achievement, he is destined also to
cap q fortune. His friends believe
that wealth awaits him through writ
ings which he is most likely to publish
and through lectures. A wellknown
vaudeville manager in this city has al
ready cabled to Copenhagen offering
DR.. Cook $4,000 q week for ten weeks
to appear in his various vaudeville
houses and lecture on his Arctic ex-
~periences. The European agents OF
three other vaudeville managers have
been cabled instructions to meet DR..
Cook and to offer him princely sal
aries for his lecture services.

ANNUAL ADDRESS.
Delivered Sy Pres. N. p. Moss Of the
louisiana School Board Associa-
ton at the Alexandria Meeting.

Below we print in full the annual
address of DR.. n. P. Moss, President
Of the Louisiana School Board Asso-
citation at the Alexandria meeting
April 2.
DR.. Moss was honored by reelection
as president for the fourth time, hav-
ing been the first and only president
Of the association.
The address contains number OF
good suggestions and we are sure will
prove OF interest to our readers. The
address follows:
Members of the Louisiana School
Board Association and guests:
1t gives me pleasure to greet you
once more, assembled in annual con-
vention.
| recall with deep feelings Of salts
dance, splendid work and enjoyable
sociabilities Of the Third annual meet
ing Of this association held in New
Orleans a year ago. That we would
not have so large an attendance
on this occasion was to be ex-
pected a natural result of the
sweeping change in membership
of the parish boards of education
brought about by the election of last
November.
But, my friends, whilst numbers
are always to be desired that the in
terest may be larger, and whilst num-
berS may also add to the enthusiasm
of the occasion, nevertheless we
should know that it is not the ele-
ment Of numbers so much as the quail
ity of earnestness which contributes
to the success of meeting or con-
vention. The quality of earnestness
must be strongly present with us to-
day, otherwise you who have come to
this meeting would not be here; and as
for numbers we shall possess them just
as soon as We can properly present
the claims of this association before
the newly organized school boards of
our state
1t was thought advisable to give
time to the new order of things in
school affairs to settle down, before
beginning the campaign for member
ship in this association in order that
the best results might be obtained.
After familiarizing themselves with
their official duties by actual exper-
ience the newly constituted School
