R c 81 MON VA. Special
Offenders against the rules and
regulations of the State Health De
partment may expect to pay for their
neglect in the future if they take
warning from the outcome of q Han
over trial. in which careless parent
was fined for allowing his children to
leave the premises when they had
been quarantined on account of diph-
iberia.
The case in question arose under
the provisions of the act vesting in
the State BOARD of Health the power
TO promulgate special rules and regu-
lauons to meet emergencies. In the
absence of local health officer, the
State Health Department empowered
physician to quarantine a family in
which diphtheria had appeared.
AT the trial it developed that this
quarantine had been neglected and
that the children, before quarantine
mad been raised, attending Sunday
school. The Health Department
torney, at once brought the parent to
trial, and at the hearing secured his
conviction.
This case. following the decision
sometime ago in Norfolk county. is
regarded by lawyers and health Of
hcials as a distinct vindication of the
rules and regulations, and its outcome
Is declared to be a guarantee that

a Wonderful Teacher Of Spanish and .
Master Of Arabic.
An amazing incident happened In one
Of the higher schools in France few
years ago. A certain deputy Of great
influence went to the minister Of pub.
lie instruction and asked place as
schoolteacher for one of his constit.
uents. The minister said the only
place vacant was that Of teacher of
Spanish. The deputy told his friend
this and remarked that 1t was a pity
he did not know Spanish. To which
the postulant replied:
Spanish? Why. Spanish is my spe.
cialty:: shall be glad to take the pro-
fessorship."
So be was appointed. He bought
Spanish grammar and began teaching
it to his pupils. doing his best to keep
a lesson ahead of the class. But 1t was
pretty poor Spanish he was teaching.
and he was very we'll aware of this.
Everything went along smoothly. and
the end of the term approached when
the class was to be examined by a Sc
we're and exacting professor from the
university. The teacher trembled in
his shoes as the dread day drew near.
The day came and with it the examin-
ing professor. The scared teacher put
his class through its PAGES. painfully
conscious that Cervantes would never
have recognized as Spanish this Ian
guage the pupils We're speaking. The
grim professor listened in impressive
silence. Then he asked few ques-
lions and gave the members of the class
a few sentences to translate into Span
ish. AS his pupils answered the teach
err felt that he might as we'll hand in
his resignation. But when all was over
the professor congratulated him on
his success and the class and the rapid
progress 1t had made.
The professor did not know word
of Spanish!
Emanuel Arene used to tell the fol-
lowing story: A certain Marseillaise
boosted SO long of his knowledge of
Arabic that ut last lie came to believe
he knew it. One day an Arab was
arraigned in Marseilles police court
on charge of murder. He began to
speak i'm his own defense. but as no
one there could understand word he
said the Judge demanded an interpret.
err. The boaster was sent for and told
to interpret what the Arab said. He
listened gravely to the mans defense.
Then he turned to the court and said:
HE confesses everything"
And so the Arab was found guilty

very costly paintings. For months the
sale went on. The purchasers covered
the whole country. The hopes of the

especially the paintings.
The drawing was directed by q
board Of men representing half
dozen cities. For two days before It
took place train loads of ticket holders
rolled into Chicago. On the Sunday
preceding the Monday Of the drawing
the streets were crowded. Improvised
sleeping accommodations had to be
provided for the vast throng. Every

Four days after the drawing Mr..

sacrifices they had cost him. offered
to sell him the theater for $4,000

Crosby out Of the proceeds Of the lot

not last long. The opera house was
