Ignatius Timothy Trebich Lincoln
was once a member of the British
house of cimmons. Later he became
spy for Germany, and fed to the
United States. When he told his

writing a book. The other day he in
vited his keeper to dinner in a public
restaurant. He went into the wash

 Dr. Chipnan made the following statement in connection with the sit uation in New London:
 "We have hesitated to take radical position in reference to the infantile paralysis, but the time has come when the diagnostician says it is necessary and to have the recovery short and complete a most thorough position must be taken. Hence the order to exclude children under 16 years of age without permission of the health officer from entering the city. In and

stay and be shipped back to New York Friday night.
 Inspector Mckinley met many kinds of opposition, verbal and otherwise, in his task Parents of children resort ed to various ruses to evade the ViSi- lance of the health inspector but none "got away with it, as the expression goes.
 Two men were seen in earnest con- Versation soon after the arrival of the midnight express from New York and their attitude and actions were CX- tremeIy suspicious, but as they were talking in foreign tongue, Inspector Mckinley was unable to understand their conversation. A man OverheaT- ing the conversation immediately re- ported to the inspector that the men were matching up rUse. to admit a boy into the city.
 Ruse That Didn't Work Inspector AIcGinley was informed that one of the men had son on board the train who had been ordered to stay on until 1t started and then jump off and make Q dash for the street. The plan might have worked had not the inspector been fOrewarn- ed. So when the train started up, sure enough a boy about 13 or 14 years of age leaped from the last car and started up the street.
 Inspector Mckinley bounced upon him Immediately the irate parent was demonstrating with the inspector that the boy was going out of town and was not to remain in New Lon don. The man was informed that it made no difference the order was that all children under 16 years were to be excluded regardless of where they were going and with the parent gesticulating wildly in the rear, the boy was marched over to the steamer
 This is only one sample of the va riOus subterfuges that were attempt ed. In some cases the parents flashed physicians certificates from the New York health department but these were likewise disregarded. They were one and all told that they would not be permitted to land if they had cer- tff1cates from the federal government.
 Health Departments Stand.
 The health department takes this stand on the ground that a child might be well when it was examined but it might be carrying the germ which does not incubate for several days afterward. A case of this sort was found in New London only the other day when little William Brod of New York was stricken by the .naaIady and died. He had been apparently in perfect health when he came to New London.

DEPART

A good story is told this week at
the expense of couple of local young
men who set out to have a midnight
beer party on a local working
temperance man. An empty beer
case had been used. in Grating a
quantity of books and was left where
the young men found it when they
came home. Believing somebody
had received a case of beer the young
fellows logged it into vacant lot
where the case was opened in ex-
pectations of merry time. Then
they removed the books and brought
the case down town where it was
placed on the pickets of fence. The
man who did the packing claims it
was a joke on the would-be beer
thieves while they claim it was a joke
on the man who spent so much valu-
able time assisting the book owners in
getting moved.
Quite a number from here went
over to Morris Sunday to see the ball
game between Chokio and Morris.
The game was a good one till the
eighth inning and it looked like vic
tory for Chokio who had the only
score on the board. Then came the
blow-up. Chokio was at bat with a
man on second and third. with one
man out. A wild heave from the
Morris pitcher was ducked by the bat
ter and the umpire declared the man
was entitled to base. This decision
was disputed by the Morris contin-
gent who held that the man struck
at the offering and was hit on the
shoulder, and was therefore out.
Attorney Spooner was the umpire and
those from here who saw the play
declare the umpire was right in his
decision. After considerable discus
sion the game was postponed and
those who had enjoyed the game up
till that point left with feeling Of
disgust.
