The Romance Of Quinine.

How many of those who fully realize
the value of qninine are familiar with
the pretty story connected with the
drug?
In the year 1893 Donna Ana. the
beautiful wife OF Don Luis Geronimo
Fernandez de Cabrera Bobadilla y
Mendoza, fourth count of Chinchona
aud governor of the Spanish province
of Peru. lay sick and. 1t was feared.
dying Of an intermittent fever 10 her
palace at Lima. Her physician, Juan
de Vega. was at his wits end. Her
husband was In despair. when the cor
regidor Of Loxa. neighboring state,
sent to the former a small packet Of
powdered quinquina bark. which he
knew the Indians priced highly as a
febrifuge.
The powder was administered to the
countess. with the happy result that
the fever left her, and complete cure
was effected.
Two years later. In 1910, the much
named Count of Chinchona and his
wife returned to Spain. and as the
Countess Ana brought with her a
quantity of the healing bark the dis
tinction Is claimed for her Of being the
first person to introduce it into Europe.
Her physician. we are told, made a
large fortune by selling 1t In Seville
at 100 reals the pound. 1t was this
famous cure of the Countess Chin
chona that induced the great Swedish
botanist Linnaeus long afterward to
rename the whole genus Of quinine
yielding tree "cinchona" In her honor.

Just A Word.

The Republican. in its issue Of las
week asserts that the Leader. in il,
report OF the proceedings Of the
county court at its adjourned session
in December last omitted to include
in thae report the following:
Ordered by the court that all
public printing b. let to the loves,
bidder. when NE same is to be paid
by the county"
And insinuatcs that it was omitted
possibly because the Leader thought
the same va not news.
In reply to the observations Of Ed
itor Kinloch. the Leader desires to
say that it. cpicayors to publish the
proceedings Of the county court and
all other courts as they appear from
records thereof. in the matter OF the
above alleged ordcrthe representative
OF the Leader noted the same upon
the clerks minutes: bat as it APP

Selling To Minor

Selling To Minor
Pashali Karapela, alleged to be io
years Of age. or less. was arrested
shortly after midnight yesterday
morning on a charge Of being drunk
and of being q minor found in sa-
loon. The youth is Of Greek birth and
has been in this country FIVE years,
and at present is employed in a
restaurant The boys brother, who
says he is two years old, being Fl,
complained to Officers Thompson
and Linville that his younger brother
was drinking in the "Greek saloon"
on Astor street and asked that he be
arrested. At the station the young
fellow said he is Fl, and he repeated
this on the stand yesterday. But the
elder brother went on the stand and
testified that the youth was 10 years.
He looks TO be from perhaps II to 20.
Owing to the fact that there was this
discrepancy in the testimony and that
the officers testified that the young
fellow was not actually drunk, though
under the influence of liquor, the court
found him not guilty. No other de.
cision seemed possible under all the
circumstances. But there is another
side to the story. One OF the two
brothers perjured himself. The young
fellow who was accused of being
drunk wears the appearance that dissi-
patton gives, while the older brother
who was trying to save him was
frank, smiling and good to look upon
and he didn't look as II lie would
come easy to him either. Had the
young fellow been found guilty j,
would have meant the forfeiture ol
the license of the saloon. The court
room was filed with Greeks. Two
Greeks who interferred with the Off
GERS after the arrest was made alsa
were arrested; one forfeited bail and
the other was fined S..
