Conquest of Disease.
Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
The community blames a railroad
and rightly-when it fails to take the
proper precautionary measures to pre-
vent accidents. Yet the community IL
self permits hundreds of thousands of
persons to die every year from prevent
able diseases. Experts have computed
that the expenditure of a few dollars
for each person would enable an Ameri-
can city to get rid of most of the NOR
tally from infections.
Now one reason why this waste of
life continues, for it is a waste of life
is because people don't know the possi.
bilities of prevention. The crank finds
1t easier to get a hearing than the
scientific medical man. The average
person is apt to pay more attention to
what neighbor says than to the advice
of competent physician.
That is why America still suffers
from smallpox, while Germany has
eliminated the disease. In America
public sentiment has not yet reached n
stage where vaccination is compulsorv-
In Germany every baby must be vacci-
mated.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. Macy.
THE GREAT CAT HOAX.

Every generation has Its
practical jokers. In the year
1915, shortly before the depart
ure Of Napoleon for ST. Helena,
some person In the city Of Chez
ter, England, caused hundreds
OF handbIlls to be scattered
throughout the city, announ-
cling that the Island of ST. He
lena was oVerrun with rats, and
that an Immense number Of cats
were wanted to extermlnate
them. Those having cats for
sale were advised to be on hand
with them at certain place on
a certain day. Sixteen shlIIlncs
would be paid for each full
grown tomcat, ten shIIlines for
each fulI-srown tabby, and two
shlllinss slxpence for each kit
ten that could feed Itself. The
result was astonishing. On the
appointed day the city was lit
orally crowded with people car
rylng cats; men, women and
children from the surrounding
country. A riot ensued, and
about 1000 cats were killed.
The rest got away, and for a
long time afterNard the city
and surrounding country were
Infested with cats of all kinds,
breeds and descriptions. The
perpetrator of the hoax wisely
kept In the background.

THE ASSES AND THE OK.

by the Democratic aspirants for
the presidential nomination and
their respective champions the les
son conveyed in an ancient fable
might be wisely taken to heart.
They are fighting each other 80 Bit
terly that whoever runs is likely to
draw a blank in the election lot
terry. There were three donkevs
once upon a time within whose
reach bundle of fodder was hung.
Each of them might have nibbled
quietly at the leaves of the provend-
er nearest his nose and so all have
gotten the chance for a satisfactory
feed. But they must needs snarl
and bite for exclusive possession.
and so finally, while they were alb
sorbed in their selfish struggle, a
Republican OK came up on the other
side of the fence and marched off
with the prize. The harmony din
ner came off just three weeks ago
and the prospects of Democratic
success have already been lowered
by 80 per cent through chickering's

The LapfuI Of Nuts.
Whene'er / see soft hazel eyes
And nut-brown curls,

Among the Limerick girls;
When up through Cratla woods I went
Nutting with thee;
And we plucked the glossy ciustsrina
fruit
From many bending tree.
Beneath the hazel bouRhs we sat
Thou, love, and I;
And the gathered nuts lay in thy Ian.
Beneath thy downcast eye;
But little we thought Of the stora va

For our hearts were full and We dare
not own
The love that's spoken now.
On there's wars for willing hearts in

And high Germanisl
And I'll come back, ere long aRain
With knightly fame and fee;
And I'll come back, II ever come back.
Faithful to thee,
That sat with thy white lap full OF nuts.
