QUININE COMES BACK.
Civil War Surgeon Told Son Not to
Sell below $3.50,

Just before he died. In 1908. DR.. Cyrus
7. Kimmel veteran surgeon of the Civil
War and pioneer physician in Kansas
City. called for his son Clarence to his
bedside and gave him Instructions for
the disposal of the contents of white
pine box that had lain in the attic many
years.
Son" he said. don't sell until it gets
back to two-fifty again. 1t will be scarce
and in demand again some day. Wait till
then"
Wholesale drug markets have quoted
quinine at s2.15 an ounce. and the demand
exceeded the supply. The white pine box
in the attic Of the Kimmel home contain
ed nearly one hundred ounces OF the
precious white flakes.
TIE story OF the white pine box begins
in the closing days Of the Civil War. DR..
KImmel. who had been the village physi-
clan at Brunswick, Mo, before the war,
had served four years as assistant sur
eeon OF the End Missouri volunteers. He
knew malaria was sweeping over the
war-torn South and that sulphate of
quinine, the most effective cure for ma
larial chils and fever, was becoming
scarce.
HcltaStd Ifcm service, ne hurried To
Philadelphia. and with all his savings pur-
chased one thousand ounces of qunine
from manufacturing chemists at 50 cents
an ounce, paying an additional s. an
ounce to the government as a war tax.
The price of quinine rose from 50 cents
an ounce to $50 then to So and s. IN
swift leaps. Within two years DIR. Kim
mel sold $50 ounces for 81 to $40 an ounce
clearing nearly $500. When he me ed
to Kansas City 81 years ago the white
pine box still contained more than a
hundred bottles. DR. kimmel used 1t on
~ for his patients and family. In his
will he disposed of more than score
Of houses. But the disposition of the
contents of the white pine box he left
to his son.
Two years ago. before there was any
prospect of a war in Europe, quinne was
quoted In thousand ounce lots at Is ant
fourteen cents an ounce, and the sup
ply was more than adequate. Then the
war came, cutting off the chief sourc,

When the fourth queen came into q.

sun was just about to appear after an
all-night session, and one other man
In the party, whom he called "Pard-
ner,' showed a disposition to be e.
gressive in the betting, Mr.. Hillary
thought the time had come to break
up the game, so he bet every dollar
that he could muster for the attack.
Partner had entered this excit-
ing period of the game with three
jacks in his hand, and he drew two
cards. To him were delivered a pair
of tens.
"Heigh-ho," said "Pardner" with par
donable e~xhilaration. "Heigh-ho, the
sun is upeth, and jocund morn stand

He was feeling poetical, and what
ever Hillary bet, "Pardner' would re-
cite a bit of appropriate verse, and in
crease the sum.
Every one else in the game dropped
out for the time. The pot was piled
in the center of the ring. In paper,
silver, and gold it represented $33.

THE roses are red, the violets are
blue, here's my Eve and III see ycu"
was the refrain with which the "Pard-
ner" deposited his last '%jitney' in the
pile, and the time for a showdown
came.
"Pardner'' did it with much cere-
money. He quoted a bit, chortled a
bit, and sang a merry Tilt as he re-
vealed his hand, the hand he thought
was magic with its three jacks and
two tens.
Crisply and with ~businesslike pre-
~cision, Mr.. Hillary laid down his cards.
"Pardner'' looked. Only three
queens he saw, and then a flve-spot
and then, by the black skill of the
man who invented cards, he saw an
other queen.
Mr.. Hillary dragged in the pot.
"Pardner' dragged out his razor. Then
started proceedings that were not
marked with poetry from "Pardner'
or triumph from Hillary. Hillary RAJ
in the lead, freighted with wealth
which he was jamming into his peck
cts as he fled. "Pardner" was close
behind.
But a dollar bill spilled from the
pocket, Hillary stopped just a second
too long to recover it, and Partner
was upon him.

WHAT IS So RARE
AS 4 nay IN IIINE:9 ?
III II DiIl III UUlIu .
Surely Not One That Sees
the Temperature at
As Degrees
SIX INCHES OF
RAIN IN TWO WEEKS

What is so rare as day in Iune?"
once wrote the poet.
But Wilmingtonians, logged out in
winter overcoats and spring straw
hats, today would parody the famous
lines to read:
What is so dread as a day in June?
Then ever come rainy days"
More than half foot of rain has
fallen in Wilmington since May 21,
when the circles appeared around the
sun. OF this, more than two inches
has fallen since June 1, and the
month, now only three days old,
shows no sign of fair days for some
time to come. The heaviest rain this
spring occurred yesterday, when ia
inches fell between a. m. and D. m.
To add TO the discomfort of the driz.
zling rain that fell this morning, all
June weather records were broken by
the temperature, which dropped TO As de.
grees during the night and hovered be-
tween 80 and 60 degrees during the day
Last night was the coldest June in
forty -four years. Eight years today
snow fell here, but that's another story
The total rainfall in May, according tC
the engineers department of the Street
and Sewer Department, was ass inches
The fall for the same month last year
was 80 inches, showing an increase OF
nearly four inches in rainfall this year
which is considerably above the normal.
People who have been trying to fgur,
out what the solar halos of Tuesday ant
several days ago are "a sign of" hav,
been answered by George S. Bliss, wealth
er forecaster, in Philadelphia. They ar,
sign of rain and nothing else. Yes
terday's rain was not caused by the
solar halo seen Tuesday. but it is due tC
the atmospheric conditions which pro
duced the halo and therefore the hal,
was "sign" of the coming rain.
"a solar halo is almost invariably
sign OF rain" said Mr.. Bliss For
neighborhood weather forecasters
who have not the advantage Of wealth
er maps, halos are about the only
virtually infallible sign upon which
they can depend There is rarely a
rain that we do not see either a solar
or lunar halo some hours before
] that is, rings around the sun or the
moon. Generally they are very in
distinct. Once in a while they are as
brilliant as that OF Tuesday. but
have never before seen one so bril-.
liant as that of few days ago"
