At the End of the Rainbow
Comparative Ills.

I'm having frightful time with rheu-
matism." complained Quackenbush. 1--WE
taken about eighteen barrels OF medicine
this spring and it doesn't seem to do any
good. There are times when / get plumb
discouraged. The pain begins regularly
about o'clock every afternoon and keeps
grinding away until midnight, and it's
just as though a buzz saw was cutting
my bones into stove lengths"
"Rheumatism is bad enough said
Clinkenbeard, but It isn't in the same
class with asthma You don't know what
trouble is until you get the asthma l
have that disease so bad that when /
breathe I sound like concertina. A
man with rheumatism can go to bed and
fbe comfortable. but when you have the
asthma as bad as have it you've got to
sit up in a chair all night and hold your
head on with both hands. 1t makes me
tired to hear a man going around COM
planning Of the rheumatism, which Is a
disease for kids and beneath the notice
of grownups."
We'll. Clinkenbeard, / think you're the
most unsatisfactory neighbor l ever saw.
I'd hate to have your small, mean spirit.
There's no pleasure whatever in coming
over in a neighborly way to tell you
about my sufferings. I have the most
celebrated case of rheumatism in this
state. The weekly paper has referred to
it editoriaHy several times and a number
Of our leading clergymen have spoken of
it from the pulpit. Wherever medical men
assemble the first thing they begin talk
ing about is my rheumatism. Just to be
friendly and accommodating, / thought
I would keep you posted on the progress
the disease is making, but every time
come over here to tell you about it you
begin harping on that dinky case of asth-
ma of yours. / consider 1t insulting, to
say nothing of the base ingratitude you
display.
for a disease that was ever copyrighted.

Thomas. who conducts a window-clean-
ing establishment at 51S 10th street north

Ihe man who invented asthma and called
it disease had no right to be at large -
Now, see here, Quackenbush." retorted
Clinkenbeard. holly. I'm patient and
good deal for the sake Of peace in the
neighborhood, but If you come over here
making fun of my asthma and trying to
clash IT with your Jim crow rheumatism
there's going to be trouble. I've had the
asthma for twenty years and I'm on to
every curve of the disease and I know
that It's in a class by itself. Sometimes
/ have it so bad that drawing my breath
is like drawing a cord, and I've known
forty or fifty people to stand in my front
yard for hours together just to hear mo
breathe. The New York Medical Journal
devoted a whole page, with colored plates
and half-tone engrayfngs, to description
of my disease. and the editor printed an
article saying that / had all OF them
skinned when it came to downright suf-
fering. Why. sir, my asthma is house.
hold word all over this country. and 1t
makes me weary to see a man standing
around boosting his picayunish rheuma-
tfsn.''
I've met some contrary, faat headed
galoots in my time. but / never saw any
body like you before. I've had the asthma
myself, and ii was such a trififng, no sc-
count disease that l didn't consider it
worth talking about. When a man has
a genuine stemwindng case OF the rheu-
matism a trife hike the asthma doesn't
worry him any more than a flea bite
worries man who is being swallowed by
a boa constructor. / have my opinion OF
a man who can't find a more interesting
topic for conversation than asthma"
well. j don't care whoop what your
opinion is. I've had the rheumatism
four kinds at once, and 1t did its worst,
but it couldn't distract my attention from
the asthma for a minute. Last summer
the London Lancet got out a special issue
devoted entirely to my brand of asthma,
and yet you come here Dragging and
boa stfng because a one-horse country
paper published a squfb about your rheu-
matism! Now, I'm going into the house,
for here comes old Doolittle to tell a long
story about his lumbago.

FATE OF THE CAT ORDER
SOON TO Be DECIDED
Enforcement of the Regulation
Depends Upon Commits !.
Si0ner Johnston.

With the return to Washington tonight
Of District Commissioner John A. john
ston, member Of the Washington Cat
Club. and others who are opposed to the
recent regulation adopted by the Com
missioners for the impounding of stray
cats. may expect to learn shortly whether
there is any likelihood of the regulation
being modified
District officials in touch with the stu
alton believe the ordnance will not be
changed. 1t was on recommendation of
Commissioner Johnston that it was
enacted. The other Commissioners have
refused to interfere in the matter, not
withstanding scores of protests have been
received, as the pound is controlled by
the health department., which is under the
special supervision of Commissioner
Johnston.
Await His Recommendation.
II that official, after reading the pro-
tests that have been piling on his desk
during his absence. should decide that
the regulation is unduly severe, it is more
than probable that any recommendation
he might make for modifying il would
meet with the approval of the other
Commissioners. But as he recommended
the law after receiving a report from the
health office to the effect that rabies
among District cats Is on the Increase it
is believed to be extremely improbable
that he will be in favor of modifying
the regulatton-for the present. at least.
Enforcement Of the regulation is caus-
ing District Health Officer William C..
Woodward no little concern. So far, 1t
may be stated, no plan for catching the
felines has been devised. The sugges-
ton that traps be used has been con-
sidered by the health Officer but, as
yet. DR.. Woodward has not been able
to figure out where the money for the
purchase of the traps would come from.
Reduction of Force Probable.
Five laborers are employed at the
pound, but the new appropriation bill
provides $1,000 less than the current law
for their salaries. and. unless they are
willing 10 accept reduced wages, the
number of assistants may have to be
diminished In the latter event. the prob
lem of catching cats woHld become that
much more difficult of solution. II is
believed that enforcement of the cat reg
ulation will result in making less thorough
tho work of impounding stray dogs.
