Fighting the Hookwarm

A recent report on the work
being done in the south to stamp
out the hookworm shows that in
eleven states the campaign is be-
ing conducted along aggressive
lines. For the quarter ending
September 80, 1873, 125 micro
scopic examinations were made
for hookworm. This parasite of
the human body is a bloodsucker
and does much injury to the in
testinal lining. where in adult
life he makes his abode for six
to ten years unless dislodged by
thymol treatment. During the
three months 3,671 persons
have been treated for the disease.
Of this number 4,447 persons
were reported by physicians and
-, 224 persons were treated in
free dispensaries conducted by
the health departments of the
state and county in Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Texas and Virginia. In
these eleven states there are
1,042 counties, Of which AT have
made local appropriations to aid
in defraying the expenses for
the free examination and treat
ment. The work is very pop
ular and it is usual for a fifth to
a third Of the entire population
to be examined to ascertain if
Infection exists. In Lee county
Virginia, 9.O13 persons were re-
Gently examined and in several
counties over 5000 persons have
been examined.
In every county where this
work is conducted infection and
sanitary surveys are made on a
uniform basis, so that the health
authorities may know just what
problems confront them. By
making comparisons with future
surveys the progress being made
can be ascertained. Approx
mately SIS, 1000 has been spent
during the past three months by
the local agencies for the extern
ton of this work. The Rookie
Teller Sanitary Commission with
headquarters at Washington, is
lending liberal support to the
work.

1t was recently sent out over the
State as news from Washington
source that Senator Fletcher would
return to Florida during the holi
days to take personal charge of his
campaign for e-nomination and re-
main until the June primaries. Of
course the idea was to create the i'm
preston that the senator would
thereby neglect his official duties to
promote his private interests. He
is back in Florida all right, taking
his holiday at home, as are nearly
all other members of both houses Of
Congress, but he will return to his
duties in WASHINGTON early in Jan.

worn appearance. Then I secured one
Of the common baskets carried very often
by the women who go to market to dispose
of small lots of vegetables. For several
days my pals and myself rehearsed the
work we had to do so that when the time
OF action came we were perfect in our
parts.
We had found out from our daily OBJ
servations OF the bank that the cashier,
who was a good deal of a dandy, went out
every day at half past twelve and re-
turned about one o'clock. Several of the
other clerks in the bank went out for
their lunch at the same time. At fifteen
minutes to one there we're fewer clerks in
the bank than at any other period of the
day. and if we were to do our work at all
it must be accomplished at that time
There was only one drawback to this
arrangement-the cashier occasionally
came back FIVE or ten minutes to one, and
we could not be certain that he would stay
out the full half hour on the day we
operated. If he came back before one
o'clock our scheme would be frustrated
and we would probably be arrested. So it
was decided that l should lay outside the
bank and intercept the cashier if he should
happen along before my pals made their
getaway from the bank.
On the day of the robbery we were near
the bank at half.past twelve and waited
til . quarter of one, when we saw several
other clerks go out. Then the rest of my
band FASTENED into the bank, and I kept
my eyes fixed on the direction in which the
cashier usually came. The robbers who
went into the bank had number Of little
formalities to get over before it was posi-
BILE to grab the money, aud this took time.
They had been inside nearly ten minutes
when l spied the cashier walking up the
street toward the bank. As luck would
have it, he was getting back five minutes
ahead Of his usual time. I strolleU leisurely
to meet him, dressed up. of course, as the
Quaker housewife, with my basket full
of vegetables and can of milk on my arm.
The cashier and ! came together in the
middle of the block, about hundred feet

additional statement that the robbers had
overlooked another package Of money con-
tanning $150,000. We were shocked by this
piece of information, and the poor robber
whose duty it was to collect the money in
the bank was roundly upbraided for getting
a miserable ninety thousand when he could
also have taken the $4,000 if he had not
been such a bungler He swore by every
deity that the papers were wrong, for he
had searched very carefully, and there was
no other money in sight when he left the
place. However, we could never forgive
this chap for his oversight, because we be-
lieved the papers had the thing right, and
we disputed about the matter so much that
the gang or party" as we of the GRIM
inal fraternity call it, had to be disbanded
and We went our separate ways, good
friends. of course, but no longer CO.
workers.
1t is the custom among bank robbers to
demand that each member of a party do
his work properly. If any one of them
makes a failure or does not come up to
expectations, he is discharged from the
party. The method of discharging a mem
Der is peculiar. The leader will say to him:
When are you going home, Jack?" and
he will hand him some money. When are
you going home" means we don't want
you with us any more. l might say, in
concluding this experience, that one Of the

secreted in different parts of the building
and the watchmen were told to obey what
ever orders the policemen might give.
Nothing happened until about midnight
when some of the policemen came out OF
their hiding places and suggested to one OF
the watchmen that it might be good idea
70 send out for some beer. One Of the
policemen volunteered to take off his uni
form, but changed his mind, saying that
it would perhaps be safer for one of the
watchmen to go
If the burglars see one of you fellows

watchmen, they will suspect nothing, but
if they see a strange face leaving the bank

for some fictitious address. in a broken
English kind of lingo. which he could
not at first understand. He was a very
polite young man. and, of course, stopped
to help me out of my little difficulty.
While was engaging the cashier in this
fashion, l kept my eyes rambling to the
bank to see if my pals were getting away,
for if the cashier had gone down at that
moment he would see them in the act of
robbing, and all would be lost.
After holding the cashier for a minute
or two, he became impatient at my unin-
telligible talk and said he was sorry he
could not help me and would have to be
going. Now, under no circumstances could
/ permit that cashier to leave then. If
necessary I would have grabbed him
about the neck and held him by force until
my companions escaped. But a better
scheme than this suggested itself; l de-
liberately spilled the can of milk over the
cashiers clothes, doing it, of course, in an
apparently innocent way
The nice white milk settled all over the
young mans vest and coat and he looked
a sorry sight indeed. He was exasperated
at my awkwardness, as he called it. and
took out his handkerchief to wipe off the
milk. and l, full of sympathy for his de-
plorable plight, also took out my hand
kerchief and gave my assistance. While
we were trying to get rid of the milk I
saw the robbers hurry out of the bank
and walk rapidly up the street Then I
knew they had gotten the cash, and it was
no longer necessary for me to detain the
cashier. I mumbled my apologies to the
poor milk-bespattered cashier, and then
hurried off down the street.
I went into a doorway-which I had
picked out in advance, of course-and took
off my Quaker disguise. Under the dis
guise l had on my regular clothes. I left
the Quaker outfit, milk can and all, in this
strange doorway and then hustled off to
meet my pals at the rendezvous previously
agreed upon We divided the money-we
had obtained s9O,O0O-and stayed in the
town a few days.
In the papers the next morning there
was a big account of the robbery, and the

enacted Attired in the regulation uniform
of the city police with helmets, shields
and night sticks of the official style. the
the bank safe AS their work progressed,
some Of the men removed their hats and
loosened their heavy coats but there was
nothing to indicate to anyone who might
have witnessed this remarkable piece Of
work that the men engaged in the cracking
OF the safe we're not genuine policemen.
As matter of fact. of course. they we're
six OF the cleverest bank burglars in the
business.
When the safe was blown and the banks
funds, amounting to some 100000, re-
moved, the policemen" buttoned up their
uniforms, put on their hats. and opening
the front doors OF the bank with the keys
they took from the unconscious watchmen,
they boldly marched in single file into the
public street
In planning out a bank robbery, or, in
deed. any kind Of robbery, a great deal Of
time must be given over to study Of the
situation so that when the day OF the rob-
berry comes the burglars will know just
what to do and be able to do it promptly.
Oftentimes it is necessary to wear dis
guise so as to more surely carry out the
prearranged plans.

Quaker farmers wife when we did a job in
the section of Pennsylvania where the
Quakers abound We had been over the
territory very carefully and picked out

money was on display, scattered around
