TetanuS Causes
Terrible Torment

A most distressing case Of te-
tanus is reported near Jasper.
Martin Shadrick is the sufferer
and the details are narrowing.
About two weeks ago DR.. Wes-
ley Songer of Jasper. was awak-

thump on his porch. He went
out and discovered Martin Shad-
rick. who had been working for
him. Shadrick could not talk.
but pointing to his jaws mumbled,
paralysis. DR.. Songer recog-
nized at once that it was some
thing else than paralysis, and
found it to be tetanus, or lock-
jaw. Shadrick managed to ex-
plain on questioning, that he had
driven a stick into his foot some
days before, and it is supposed
tetanus germs Ind found lodge
ment there and caused his trou-
BILE.
Tetanus serum was Immediately
sent for from Chattanooga, and
injected into him as he was
past the power of opening his
mouth and Friday morning he
was still in the same condition,
and suffering fortunes. 1t is
said that even in the cold wind
of Friday the perspiration would
stand on the mans forehead he
was suffering such agony.
/ He and his wife live in ia miser-
able hut on the East Valley road,
and are in poor circumstances.
and Friday a number Of Jasper
people made up a lot Of provis-
ions and sent to their relief.
Shadrick is unable to eat and a
spoon clinched tightly between
his teeth is the nearest his mouth
can open.

THE KAISER'S DREAM.

There's a story I'm told,
Tho strange it may seem,
How the great Kaiser Bill
Had a wonderful dream.
He was dreaming of allies
As he lay in his bed.
When his dream switched about,
And he dreamed he was dead.
In a very fine coffin
He was lying in state,
And thousands were there,
Though none mourned his tate
His soul looked out
And found to his cost
That he and his soldiers
Were doomed to be lost.
He wouldn't believe it,
So to heaven went straight,
And arrived on the portals,
Knocked loud OH the gate.
"Hey, Peter, get busy,
Quick, open the door,
See who's here, it's the Kaiser,
Make everything roar;
Beat the drums, blow the horns,
Have a fine banquet made"
St. Peter looked out:
In a voice loud and clear,
Said: "Try down below, Bill,
You can't get in here"
"Tut, tut" said the Kaiser,
"You are very uncivil,
Don't probably know
I'm a friend OF the devil,
And I'm going. with pleasure
So he started to 60
A-whistling like blazes
T 0 make big, show
/ When he came to hell's door
He was filled with dismay,
For, while waiting outside,
He heard Satan say:
"Look here, boys,
I'll give you warning,
Pm expecting the Kaiser
Down here in the morning,
But, don't let him in,
He'll start mussing about,
So give him the 'ha, ha'
And kick him right out"
"Old Satan, dear friend"
The Kaiser then cried,
"Excuse me for listening
While waiting outside,
But, please let me in,
| For where else can | go?"
"Indeed," said the devil,
i '.I'm damned if | know"
Zach, please let me in,

And if you want money,
I've plenty of gold.

mix, nein," said the devil,
Most certainly not,
You can't gain admittance
BY offers OF pelf.
Here are sulphur and matches,
Make a hell for yourself.
Don't sklmp, use them freely
For, by donder and blitz!
| have plenty more left
For the Sultan and Fritz
From his troublous sleep,
Bill awoke IN sweat
And said "That's a dream
/ shall never forget.
That won't go to heaven

But | never believed
I'd be kicked out of hell.

HOW TO GOVERN
HOUSE RENTERS
Chapter Ill:

In laying out an addition to the
town, houses should be built for sale
or rent, and should be designed for
different sized families, from two
or three persons up. All the houses
work and paints, stains and varnish.
Houses should be classified in grades
one, two, three and four, and priced
according to class. When the price
of sale is fixed, it should be adjusted
so there would be cash discount for
the purchaser who could or would
pay cash, and a flexible term of credit
at fair rate of interest for those
who are willing to undertake paying
for a home on the installment plan.
Payments should be arranged so it
would not be much higher than pay
ing rent, and there should be a
pledge or understanding that so long
as the purchaser nept u Ing anu kept
more paid than rentals would
amount to, he should be eligible to
keep on paying and not be ousted
just because he was behind the
schedule of his payemnts. The policy
of the firm should be so kindly that
anybody with ghost or a chance
would undertake to become the
owner of home, and when a family
however shiftless, undertake that
task and get far enough along to
get to calling it home" the always
take courage and become more
thrifty and try harder to pay out.
They are better. citizens, better en-
ployees and more responsible in
everything. 1t should be made a
part of the contract Of sale that they
should maintain a certain amount of
lawn, flowers and garden, and it
should be stipulated in the contract
that failure or partial failure with
lawn, flowers and garden, coupled
with getting behind on the payments
would be sufficient reason for ousting
them when narrower margin of
payments made, but with good
showing Of lawn and garden would

SPEAKING OF
REWARDS

1t can not be denied that the ma
ton owes recognition to the young
men who were physically fit to
answer to the call of the colors at
the time of our entry into war. 1t
does not, however, owe them living
forever after unless they happened
to be disabled in the line of duty.
They are part of the nation and
large part. numbering four million
or SO, and what they did for the
country during the war was not as
hired agents, but as free sharehold-
ers of the nation.
Now these men do not want great
rewards in money or glory. They are
glad to have a country they can be
proud of and work for in civil life.
They are as much part of it now as
their fathers and mothers and rela-
tives, who seem in many instances to
still consider them as soldiers. The
war is over and the men demobilized.
They have as their own country to
grow up in and enjoy the very same
one that they went to the army and
navy for. That is enough for them
from their point Of view.
: The cry in connection with many
movements is edo something for the
soldiers and Sailors" Let the SOL
diers and sailors beware of foolish
fanatics who want their name con-
nected with blue-sky schemes as the
beneaciaries. The soldiers and
sailors normal point of view now is
that of voting. and tax-paying citi-
zens. What the country digs up for
they dig up for.
What do the soldiers and sailors
want at Washington? The same thing
that all good citizens want, namely,
an efficient managementssof the ma
tons affairs at home and abroad. If
they are bit sore on the Democratic
administration, so are other good
home citizens, who stayed here all
the time and watched the goings on.
II they thought some Of the swivel
chair heroes at Washington were
poor timber to lean on in war times,
they still think them poor timber,
and will want change.
Doing something for the SOL
diers' Is now a post-mortem express
sion, as concerns the able-bodied
fellows, who are in their homes to-
day, re-instated in civil life. No
bonuses Of money or land will make
them better citizens, or better party
men for whatever party gets it for |
them. The service they rendered |
made them better citizens, and its |
dutiful performance is their best and
their lasting reward.-F. G. X.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-08-29

, justify extensions of time in which
to pay. The care of the grounds
should be made a substantial consid-
Grafton affecting the contract and
terms of payment. The house should
be inspected once a month, and any
misuse or abuse of the house should
De made good by the occupant, and
failure to pay or repair within the
month should be sufficient reason to
tlfy the ousting if the payments
were delinquent. Another reason
for ousting them should be failure
to get along with the neighbors,
getting into court on complaints of
disturbing the peace or committing
misdemeanors.
Queer Rules of Renting
In fixing the price of rental of the
j, SEES, it should be set high enough
so that at the end of the month 25
per cent could be handed back to the
tenants If the property had been we'll
cared for in every way. Any abuse
of the property or failure to give it
good care would forfeit the rest of
the money and would be reason for
giving them notice to move out. If
they chose to remain and reform in
the care of the property, they could
to the damaged places and
preserving it without further abuse.
After a renter had occupied a house
three months as perfectly salts
factory renter, they would not be re-
quired to pay anything but the net
ate CT rent with the rebate deducted,
but the inspector would visit the
house every thirty days and look it
over inside and out, and in summer
inspect the grounds.
At first the housekeeper would re-
sent having the inspector come in
and look thru every room in the
mar on the floor or woodwork or dent
in the plaster, but that woman would
either become ambitious to win the
of the inspector or she
would accumulate enough marks on
the chart of her rooms to GUST her,
so it would not matter much whether
she kept up her resentment or not,
for the inspector would have the
asst word in determining whether the
housekeeper got her refund or got
ousted.
