For seven years | worked here in
this city on newspaper, and made
friends fast from the managing edi-
tor, who, after l had left, printed in
big type that che would get me back

accompanied by a few friends who
met me in Pittsburgh. 1t was showing
and freezing hard, but right on that
platform of the B. & o. road stood
the whole blooming force of the Daily
News, headed by w. w. Brown, man
aging editor and half owner of the
Daily News, and Charles W. DonneIly,
business manager and also half own
er of the News.
They didn't say much-nor did l at
first. One took my grip, another my
cane and, piloted at each side and in
front, too, we trudged along in the
silent, snow-capped early morn to
the Office of the Daily News, where l
had toiled for seven years.
And the mechanical force of the
paper was all there, too, waiting for
me. They had been tipped or that

Then then the telephone bell began
to ring, and they tell melt kept going
all day. People wanted to talk to

Then the door bell, began to ring,

PUT MUCH FAITH IN GARLIC
Belief Among Physicians That It Is
Highly Efficacious in Tubercu-
Iosls.

Physicians on this side of the AT
lantic are experimenting with garlic
as a possible cure for the dreaded tu-
be%rculosis.
A Dublin doctor has been working
on the theory for some years past
with considerable success and a
published a book upon it, and although
it is too soon yet to tell of results in
this country, it is being tried at the
Metropolitan hospital in New York
1t is said that there is little tuber-
culosis in Italy, where garlic chewing
is a national habit, and that in this
country it is the Italian children who
have given up chewing garlic who sue
cumb to the great white plague"
| Garlic contains a chemical substance
called allyl sulphide in the percent
age of two drops to a teaspoonful OF
juice, which is much stronger thar
the amount of the same chemical
found in onions or shallots. 1t is this
drug which, it is claimed, destroys the
tubercular bacilli.
Garlic juice is said to act very quick
ly upon tuberculosis of the throat
which heretofore has been almost i'm
possible to treat, and application O.
the Juice to lupus tuberculosis of the
skim has excellent results unless the
disease is of long standing.

BLINDNESS is BOYS FATE
Appalling Effect of Careless Action
viii Be the Permanent Loss OF
Child's Eyesight.

Dashed across the face by O. pair
Of scissors which a playmate thought
lessly welded in a reckless manner,
three-year-old Thomas Inglesbry will
lose the sight of both eyes. The In
jured boy is in a critical condition in
the Polytechnic hospital, and physicians
say that, ever though an operation to
remove the terribly lacerated optics
be necessary, he will be blinded for
life.
With several companions who were
spending last evening in his home
young ~Inglesbry was cutting strips
from a newspaper to solve a picture
puzzle. One Of his playnates, uncon-
scious of In%glesbry's presence, threw
out the hand In which he was holding
the scissors. The sharp point struck
the Iglesbry boys right eye and swept
across the bridge of his nose, penetrat'
ing the other eye. Both eyeballs were
almost gouged from their sockets
The wounded ehild's screams of agony
attracted his parents, and they hur'
ried him to the Observation-Disclosures
Inquirer.

lTCHED AND BURNED

Sherwood, Mich.-'My baby was

gan to break out with little pimples
on his head and face. Then they would
run water and keep getting worse I'M
til his head was a regular sore erup-
ton and water would run and stream
from it and his face also. His whole
body was affected. They were little
white pimples which itched and
burned something terrible. His cloth
ing seemed to irritate him and it was
almost impossible for him to sleep at
night. They also disfigured him as
they were on his face.

HAD THE CAP AND MESSAGE
Monkeys Fun With Messenger Boy
Was Altogether one-sIded, for a
Period, at Least.

A clerk on the fifth floor Of the hall
Of records at New York saw a dark OBJ
ject fit by a window and opened the
window to Investigate. AS he poked
his head out he saw a fairly large
sized monkey chattering and .scolding
from the next window sill. Down be-
low a crowd had gathered, attracted
by the unusual sight, and among the
most interested was a hatless mes
senger boy. His interest was explained
by the fact that the monkey held his
hat in its pave and seemed about to
tear 1t up, number plate, and all.
Run along, sonny, and deliver your
message" said a stout man, who was
among the watchers. '11l stay till the
monkey is caught and keep your car
for you"
Oats all right" said the messenger
"but de message is in me cap"
The monkey ran from window tt
window trying to evade the volunteer
who rapidly organized a pursuit anc
finally captured It. Its collar bore thu
name Of William H. Benjamin OF 81
Pine street. Over the telephone MI
Benjamin said he bought the ANNA
from a South American sailor recently
and it had escaped by christening it
chain in his office before he could tax,
1t to his home at Morristown, N. ]. MI
Benjamin called at the hall of record
later and got his monkey.

BUILDING Dams on the Ice.

The government engineers on the
upper Mississippi have found that by
constructing the dam on the ice in the
winter they can often build them in
shallow places and across sand bars
which are inaccessible to the barges
and steamers in the summer months,
the Scientific American states. The
work also can be done much more
cheaply. y
The willows and rock are hauled
p o the ice by teams and unloaded at
the place where the dam is to be con-
structed. The building crews follow
the same method as is used In the sum-
mer months. A mattress Of willows is
made, loaded with rock, a second will
low mat laid on top and sc on until a
dam of proper height is constructed.
When it is finished, the Ice is cut
away and the structure sinks to the
river bed Of it's own weight. The work
on the ice has been progressing for
three years all along the upper half OF
the river.

The Mammoth Mlcrobe.

THE microbe craze is a good thing"

Iantic City.
YES, the microbe craze is a good
thing. 1t has cleaned up the world.
1t has put a lot of diseases on the run.
But, at the same time, it has it's hui
morous side.
Il frequently urge my little son to
have nothing to do with dogs or cats,
because they are full of microbes.
This morning, however, l came upon
him on the beach playing with a stray
mongrel. But just as l came up he
quilted the mongrel hurriedly.
Papa he said, it's true about
dogs having microbes. A big black
microbe just jumped out of that dogs

only to win fame for herself, but to

birth. She achieved her purpose by
laying an egg the like of which never

OF that a girl is required to attend

faithfully done, help to form habits of
n~eatness, orderliness, thoroughness.

GREETING THE WRONG MAN
Cases Of Mistaken Identity That Have
Been chronIeled by
Collector.

Scrapbook keepers and chroniclers
of odd things who are on the alert to
increase the store Of interest grip
pers are able to list no end of mis-
takes made by prominent men at vari-
GUS times and places. One of these
collectors has gathered incidents that
might easily make 200 pages of an
ordinary book. He insists that all are
as true as-well, as true as anything
can be that you hear about.
According to this collector, says the
New York Sun, there's a Brooklyn
clergyman who went oyer to Newark
to fill a pulpit one Sunday and greeted
three men as the pastor Of the church
he was to preach in before he shook
hands with the right man. One or two
deacons and other members were wait
ing for him in the vestibule when he
arrived.
He thought he knew a minister
when he saw one, SO he put out his
hand with a "Glad to meet you, doc
tor" only to find it wasn't the pastor.
Then he looked from n to the other
and stretched out a hand to the sec
ond man, scoring another mistake.
Finally, inside the church on the way
to the pulpit, he was sure the minis
terial-looking man who advanced
toward him was the pastor, and SO he
greeted him that way. But 1t was a
trustee.
An insurance solicitor, top notcher,
of one of the big companies, called on
a prospective risk at his Riverside
drive residence one evening to nail
him for a policy. He talked e%loquently
and at length. When it came to sign

talking to a nephew Of the same man
The nephew was already insured, but
had listened because he was interest
ed in insurance.
