A Great Raliaf.

An old organ blower lay on his
deathbed. He was a good old fellow,
and everybody liked him. He had al
ways been ready to do anything and
everything connected with the church
without complaining, but had evident
ly lad his own troubles which he had
kept locked in his breast.
The curate was with the old man,
soothing and comforting him as best
he could.
would you mind, sir" said the sick
man, asking the Organist TO play the
dead march over me? just love that
dead marchw
Certainly, with pleasure, Mr..
Jones'" replied the curate.
"Thank'ee sir; none O. that there
tweededuT Beethoven, you know. but
Huuders."
81 can promise that much, my good
mnn," said the curate
The Old man lay placidly for awhile
and then exclaimed Nith feryOr "HoW
thankful / am that / sAsn't have to
blow for him when he plays the loud
part at the end"

One of Dr.. HaIe's Jokes.

When he was quite a young man the
late DR.. Edward Everett Hale played
practical joke on some girls who
were members of a party with whom
he was summering on the Massachu-
sets coast.
All these girls were reading the same
exciting novel, and one day at dinner
1t was a leading topic. Knowing that
none Of them had finished It, Hale, un-
known to them, carried II away with
han the next morning when he went
to the city. On the train he wrote an
absurd conclusion to the novel, laying
the final scene at the summer resort,
Carrying this bogus conclusion to a
publisher, q friend Of his, he had 1t
put in type, and then, carefully remoY.
ing the bona ade conclusion, he pasted
In his own. On his return he placed
the book ON the piazza and waited.
The look which spread over a girls
face as she read that last chapter was,
DR.. Hale declared, worth going far to
see.

Extent Of Influenza
Epidemic Alarms U. S.
Health Authorities

Washington.-The most serious
epidemic of Influenza ever known
to exist In this country was dis
closed in reports before Surgeon
General Blue of the public
health service today. The re-
ports, which were from public
health service officers, show that
the disease is spreading at an
alarming rate and is causing
many deaths.
OF the larger cities, influenza
is widely prevalent in New York,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston,
San Francisco, Seattle, Cleveland
and Detroit-the two latter cities
having probably 100000 cases.
The federal authorities explain
that they are practically helpless
to aid in stemming the tide of
the epidemic. 1t must be dealt
with by local authorities, who,
In turn, are relying on co-opera-
Eion from the public.
