Whooptng cough Is highly contag-
tous disease, Characterized by severe
Inflammation Of the breathing tubes
and accompanied by a peculiar cough,
ending In the familiar -whoop.- Al
though hundreds have used their best
skill IN eadeavortng TO determine the
tue cause OF whooptng cough. the
real cause OF the disease has never
been sscertatned.
As We are ignorant Of the exact
cause OF vhooplng cough, so are We
ignorant as to the aIact way In which
1t is spread. Observations OF many
cases BY different physicians lead TO
the belief that the disease Is spread
almost entirely By immediate contact
between the patient and a well child.
This contact has to be fairly close anu
intimate.
One OF the most striking facts about
whooping cough Is that children IN.
der about 1--WE years OF age are far
more liable TO contract It than are
those Of older years. For example,
OF the 1856 children who died in the
United States last year from whoop-
ing cough 4sis were unde. I've.
While whooping cough Is generally
considered q trivial disease, IL causes

Every case OF xhoopirg cough
should be attended by physician. It
is unfortunately al present the Gus

for whooping cough without the aid

cations which the mother cannoI zee

be much reduced. the course OF the
disease can be somewhat shortened.
and dangers from complications caa
be very much lessened br the watch

The spread OF whooptng cough can
easily be controlled BY the parents OF
any community II all will unite IN the
work. Il parents whose children lave
the disease will warn their neighhors
and friends against visiting them; Il
they will see that children when on
the street do not ntngle at close range
with other children. and II they will
not let other peoples children visit
their homes when whooping cough Is
prevailing there. the greater para OF
the disease will quickly disappear.
Parents should never voluntarily eI.

War and the Samoan IsIands.

A special link exists between Scot
land and the German Samoan islands,
which have just been occupied by a
British expeditionary force from New
Zealand Most people know that Vail
ina, on the island of Upolu, was the
home of Robert Louis Stevenson in the
closing years of his life. 1t is not so
generally known that since his death
the house and estate (sorne 800 acres)
have been acquired by the German
government, and adapted for use as a
residence for the governor of German
Samoa Though the British govern
ment renounced all rights over Sa-
moa in 1899, the group has remained
an important center for the activities
OF the London Missionary society,
which has large training college a
few miles from Apia. From this col
Iege, which is on a self-supporting
basis, native missionaries are sent to
all parts of the South seas. Until
couple of years ago the English Ian
guage was oficfally recognized in the
local courts, and although, as the re-
suit OF an agitation in Germany, only
the German language is now recog-
nized, English is still widely spoken.
so that the translation of the islands
from a German to a British colony
should be an easy process.

eoston,s Franklin SQUARE House.

The home has been success from
the start. 1t provides not only good
rooms and good board ranging as low
as $425 a week, but also the young
women are furnished parlors, where
they can receive their friends. and
halls where they can have their own
entertainments, all the time with a
feeling that it is their own. A col
lege cormitory could not be more
charming. There is nothing of an in
stitutional character about the under
taking, and there is no religious or
sectarian purpose-the idea is simply
to make every guest feel perfectly at
home-the walls are not covered with
rules and restrictions, and everywhere
there is spirit of womanliness and
nominees. Young women coming to
the city for short time find it the
popular stopping place without suf-
fering the strange loneliness of a ho-

her own way, once had for valet a
man who seemed to find it quite i'm

had their distinctly humorous side.
On one occasion King Peter sent the
man with a message to his wife. Alas!
He forgot it on the way
King Peter was furious when the
man returned.
'sWhy, you noodle!" he exclaimed, 'T
don't believe you know what woman

Trouble, as rule, SIR was the
mans quiet retort; and his majesty

Animal Ran Away and Thereby Gave
Away Beautiful Bit of
Strategy.

No better example of ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain has
come to light recently than is afforded
in a dispatch from Bowling Green,
which tells of the arrest of one Robert
Fftes, colored, charged with the theft
OF hog.
The details that are given show the
resourcefu1ness of a man when he is
"out Of meat Robert Fites, colored,
was in that condition last winter, and,
as the story goes. he knew OF farm
owned by a white man several miles
away which was well stocked with
hogs. After sizing up the situation,
he decided it would be an easy matter
to get fine young shoat If he had
any way of carrying it home after
killing It. This difficulty was solved
by borrowing a buggy and a mule
from a neighbor-without the neigh
boris knowledge or consent.
Setting out in the middle of the
night, he drove to the place where
hogs were abundant, and succeeded
in catching and killing hog. To con-
ceal his prize he had carried along
a dress and bonnet belonging to his
wife He dressed the stolen hog in
the apparel, set it upright in his bug
gy, and started home 1t was day
light before he began the return trip,
and it happened that he met a few
early travellers along the road At
such meetings he would address the
hog with admonition: "Sit up, old
lady; folks will think you're drunk"
But the best laid plans go wrong.
The subterfuge might have been sue
cessful if the mule had not become
frightened The animal ran away,
and threw out both the driver and the
"old lady" A master stroke of hog
stealing strategy had gone amiss, and,
mindful of the fact that he who steals
and runs away may live to steal an
other day, Robert Fites took to the
woods. He stayed there for several
months, but when he came out the
grand jury had indicted him, and an
officer found him and, took him to JAIL
There is no doubt that Robert Fites
is a genius in his way He had a
great scheme. The only weak thing
about it was that it failed to work.
