DEFY STATE HEALTH BOARD
Teachers and Pupils in Smallpox At.
ficted District Decline to Un-
dergo Treatment.

Madison. - School teachers and
children in Mount Horeb and Port
age, where an epidemic of smallpox
has broken out, are defying the state
board of health which has issued or
ders that all of them be yaccinated
as required by law where contagious
diseases prevail. Many of the chill
dren and their instructors have re-
fused and are still attending school.
Orders have been issued by the
board of health to the school officials
of both towns to arrest any one who
attends school who can not show d
certificate of vaccination.
At Mount Horeb there are fourteen
cases reported, while at Portage there
are twelve. Local physicians at first
were inclined to report the cases as
chicken pox, but an examination made
by experts for the state left no doubt
that smallpox in a virulent form ex-
listed State officers have been dis
patched to the scene of the epidemic.

Safe.

The night IS dark and cold and wild
The wind is bowling through the street
The snow against my door is piled
The stars are hidden, and the sieet,
Like shot, against the pane is hurled;
/ hear the never-ceasing roar
OF icy waves that madly beat
Against a bleak and cherries shore,
AS if they tried to wreck the world.
But, safely sheltered from the storm,
The child that claims my love Is warm,
His prayers are said, his dreams are
sweet.
