Why Worry?
The Independent

The common soldier, whatever
his nationality, is generally {
cheerful philosopher. Especially
if he is a Frenchman. Here is The
newest statement of the philosophy
of the French poilu
OF two things one is certain,
Either you're modified or you're
not modified.
If you're not modified there's
no need to worry; if you're on the
front, Of two things one is certain:
Either you're behind the lines or
you're on the front.
If you're behind the lines there
is no need to worry; if you're on
the front, of two things one is Ger
tain; Either you're resting in a
safe place or you're exposed to
danger.
II you're resting in IA safe place
there is no need to worry: if you're
exposed to danger, Of two things
one is certain: Either YOU'RE
wounded or you're not wounded.
II you're not wounded there is
no need to worry; if you are
wounded, of two things one is GER
tain; Either you're wounded sc
rlousIy or you're wounded Slight
ly.
If you're wounded slightly there
IS no need to worry. if you're
wounded seriously, of two things
one is certain; Either you recover
or you die.
If you recover there is no need
to worry; if you die you can
worry.
Not bad philosophy, in tn,
trenches or out.

Smallpox Under Control.

Drs. Bush and Murphey have been
ousy nearly all of this week and last
vacclnatlng citizens Of all ages, and
both white and colored All the babies
that had been exposed to the disease
from their nurses were ino2ulated and
all the school children in town. SO far
there has not been even suspicious
case among the whites. A few more
cases were found among the negroes
bat as nearly all of them have been
vaccinated, it is not believed there will
be any further spread of the disease.
Marshal Maury put on a strict quaran-
tine and has ko pit all those who have
been infected or exposed confined to
thelr homes. One negro boy about IA
years old who persisted in coming out
or the street after being commanded 10
stay in, and who said he didn't care
who caught the disease from him. was
chained to post on the front gallery
of his house.
The Beacon's report Of the number
OF cases last week was exaggerated
and the doctors say that up.to-date
there has been but sixteen cases, all of
a mild type.

less than ten days. His stricken par
