A LONG freight train rumbled into the
Boxton station on Monday morning
and went on the siding to allow the seven
sixteen to pass. A train-hand ran back to
throw the switch behind the freight. A
few minutes later the passenger whistled
at the boX-factory crossing. There was
more than the usual crowd at the station.
The Misunderstanding committee, who had
come down to welcome the first returning
old resident and present him with the
freedom of the town, eagerly scanned the
faces OF the half dozen persons that
alighted from the seven-sixteen. Three
of them were track-workers in overalls;
one was well known travelling salesman
who made BoXton every Monday morn
ing; and the remaining two were a
poverty-stricken couple that lived on
the other side of the mountain and didn't
even trade in Boxton
Nothing doing!' said Henry Tread
way, as the train pulled out.
"Too early, replied Starr comfortingly.
But we've got to be here for the next
train"
The conductor of the freight waved his
arm, and the long line of box-cars creaked
and began to move backward off the
siding. Then he approached the hand
shaking committee and greeted them with
hearty railroad voice.
"Going to have big week, eh?" he said
"And say, I've got a dead-head in the
caboose--here he comes now. l told him
I'd give him lift as far as here. Picked
him up at the Falls. He says you'll vouch
for him. He didn't look exactly like a
hobo, so took him on"
1t was a seedy remnant of middle
aged man who hobbled across the tracks
and approached the Misunderstanding COM
mittee. He was short in stature but he
made up for this in width. On his head,
surmOunting massive and unshaven
countcnance, was a ridiculous golf cap; he

began at his ears and crept hesitatingly
down his neck. His trousers were SO tight
at the thighs that they seemed almost like
bathing suit Their former owner, too,
had probably not given them decent at
tention. But he wore a brand-new pair of
shoes which seemed to be several sizes too
small. The Boxton eye, reviewing the
outfit, could come to only one conclusion
that he had stolen the shoes.
The man came up, putting like small
locomotive. There was something of the
mendicant in his approach; yet some
thing confident, too. He had breath
enough, when he reached the platform,
for one short sentence:

Henry Treadway. "What dye want?'
"YOu look at me like you never saw me

of your regular readers, too! Is this

He had pulled a greasy and tattered
copy of the newspaper from his coat
pocket, and spread it lovingly before the
gaze of Mr.. Treadway.
"I've come back to the old town." he
explained. aid get here tirst?"
MIR. Treadway exclaimed suddenly,
Joe Tinker!'
"You said it, was the reply. "Glad to
see you again, MIR. Treadway. And you

MR.. TIBB looked at Mr. Treadway, and
MIR. Treadway looked at Mr.. Tibb.
"He's all right, take it., suggested the
freight conductor. "You gentlemen seem
to know him. Good luck to the celebra-
toni" He swung aboard the caboose as it
cleared the station.
The Misunderstanding committee were left
with their prize.
The crowd of station loafers gathered
around. MIR. Tibb pulled at his collar and
tried to think of something to say. He
looked up at Starr, and was further en-
barrassed to see broad smile on that
gentleman face.
"Well, Joel?" said Starr.
"Now, look here, Tinker" began Joel
Tibb, in a low voice. "You know we

TO AVOID GRIP AND PNEUMONIA.

The newspapers tell us that we are
m tine midst of an epidemic of grip and
that everybody is sick. Bad colds. pneu-
monia and grip prevail, according to
the reports. The vital statistics report
shows Il considerable increase in deaths
from all c:luse in Chicago. This is =
fairly good sign of an epidemic of grip.
When grip, pneumonia, or colds are bad
the death rates from all sorts of seem
ingly unrelated diseases go up.
Neither grip nor colds are reportablc.
Reporting pneumonia is not the GUS
tom. so the only signs by which to
judge are the reports Of general death
rate and the newspaper stories.
In lS91 there was n fearful epidemic
OF grip. At that time the grip bacillus
was found In the sputum of most of the
cases of colds. bronchitis, and pneumo-
mia. Between 1907 and 1911 the Chi
cago health department rarely found
n grip bacillus. l do not know wheth-
er the grip bacillus is now being found,
but / am willing TO venture the guess
that it is not. 1t would be just as we'll
to drop the term grip and to speak of
this epidemic as one Of colds and pneu-
monia
Assuming that the reports are cor
rect, and we are in for a nationwide
epidemic. is there anything a person
can do tn protect himself? The answer
is yes.
The most important thing is to keep
out of crowds. Whenever a man goes
into a crowd there is a reasonably good
chance that he will get close to some
body capable OF injecting him. The per-
son capable of injecting him may not
be sick. AS there is no way of know
ing an injector. the safe policy is to
avoid crowds. AS a further factor, a
crowded place is very liable to be an
lily ventilated place. The air probably
will be too hot. too dry, and too dusty.
The second and most important adj
monition is to keep away from people
known to have colds.
Next in Importance is that colds be
nursed. 1t is good Judgment to go slow
when one has a cold. During the fever
stage it is we'll to remain in bed. After
the fever stage has passed the better
n guards against fatigue and ex-
pOSure the less the danger of
mia and other complications.
Ordinarily. diseases do not run into
each other, but there is reason for be-
lieving that neglected colds do run in
to pneumonia. Psychologists have
have shown how pneumonia cocci, at
first incapable of getting into the blood,
after q few days in the throat become
charged so that they can enter the
blood stream and be carried to different
parts Of he body.
Next in Importance IL the Injunction
against drinking. Nov il the time to
get on the water Wagon and stay there.
Whisky and every form Of alcoholic
drink ia n pneumonia begetter. Alec.
hol lowers the fighting defenses of the
human body against all forms Of die.
