lust as | have been telling you. Sammy
told the doctor that if he ever saw
them dawgs who kicked him black and
blue he would make them so arrested
so quick as ever was, so sure as his
name was Sammy Toomief. But as for

For months the officials at quarantine
have known that only eternal vigilance
Oh their part would prevent the dread
Asiatic scourge, cholera, from gaming
a foothold in this country. So far they
have been successful, and 1t is be-
lieved the danger is now practically
over. II is said that cholera has ten
dency to appear in this country every
sixteen years, so this years visitation
of the Oriental pest was not uneX-
pected. The worst epidemic OF the dis
ease in this country was in 1892, when
hundreds of New Workers were al
dicted The epidemic spread east and
south as far as the Mississippi and
New Orleans before the coming WIN
ter checked its ravages. In those days
quarantine was little more than a
name. and the present elaborate sys-
tenn of examination of immigrants was
undreamed of.

by the cop. and the desk lieutenant
thought little visit to cell would De

Ker-choo! The open season for hay
fever fans has arrived and every tram
out of New York this week has been
carrying from one to dozen OF the
devotees of this noble sport, bound
for the places where they expect 10
find relief from constant sneezing. II
is strange fact that, while New York
hay fever victims have to go to YER
mont or Canada during the season
thousands of others from all over the
country come to New YORK and nnu

while. there are some wise doctors
who say that there isn't any such dis
ease as hay fever. and that IS all i'm !
agination.
New York tea importers are predict

with small quantities of Prussian blue.
