Leprosy in This Country

One hundred and forty-six lepers live in this country. There may be more than that number. The number known, located and to degree iso- lated in 146. California, Louisiana, Massachusetts have leper segregation institutions, and the public health service calls for action by the United States in order to keep the number of cases reduced to small figures.
 Let no one think that all of the 146 cases came from other lands. Not a few of them were born in this coun- try and acquired the disease here. This is particularly the case in Louisiana. There are cases in IT states, and if the disease is to be minimized here and finally driven out, the federal authorities will have to find way to act. The power of the federal govern ment over citizen of a state may be weak, but public sentiment would aiI ,he fedora. gov ernmeat and little trouble would be experienced in hand ling the problem.
 Unless the subject is acted on soon this country will soon have ccnters of infection, and ieprosy would vnCn be- come an established disease of the country.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 No girl ever had enough beaux to be willing to spare one to girl with none.
 A woman is simply wild for closet room so to have to get lot of things to put there.
 A man will keep on whistling around you just as if you didn't hate him enough already.
 Nowadays there's nothing that makes A woman so suspicious of a stranger as for him to be polite.
 A rich relative dead can make enemies by not leaving 1t to them just the way he did alive by not lending 1t to them.

 "HE drain of many investments and
 the establishment of publishing
 ! house had told heavily on Clemens finances. It became desirable 10 earn Il large sum of money with as much ex- petition as possible. Authors readings had become popular, and Clemens had read in Philadelphia and Boston with satisfactory results.
 He now conceived the idea of grand tour of authors as a commercial enter prise. He proposed to Aldrich, Howells and Cable that he would charter private car for the purpose. and that with theif own housekeeping arrangements, cooking, etc. they would go swimming around the circuit, reaping a golden harvest. He of- ferred to be general manager of the expe- dtion-the impresario, as 1t were-and agreed to guarantee the others not less than s75 day apiece as their net return from the circus" as he called it.
 Howells and Aldrich liked we'll enough to consider it, as an amusing prospect, but only Cable was willing to realize 1t. He had been securing the country on hls own account, and he was willing enough to join forces with Mark Twain
 Clemens saw little pleasure in the pros pect of the regulation tour. He detested platforming, but the idea of reading from his books or manuscript for some reason seemed less objectionable and. as already stated, the need of much money had be- come important.
 He arranged with J. B. Pond Tor the business side of the expedition, though fin reality he was It's proprietor. The pri- vate car idea was given up, but he em- ployed Cable at salary of s45o week

 The man with the white tie hesitated. For moment he seemed pained. Then he flushed a little and reaching down into his pocket drew out the article they wanted
