pronounced success. The supper,

YOUNG HICHWAYMEN
HOLD UP OLD MAN
NEAR PALISADE SCHOOL

Another early evening holdup in Pal
isade occurred last Monday evening
near the Public School in Anderson
avenue. An old Italian living in Pali-
sades Park was going home about Z
o'clock when two youthful highway
men called to him to hold up his hands
and, placing a revolver at his breast,
went through his clothing pockets in
regulation style and relieved him OF
some $50 in cash forthwith. He went
his way rather with the speed of
youth-in-old-age and raised an alarm
as soon as he could. But it was all
useless, as the birds had flown, and
the police We're not in sight-as they
seldom are in like occasions. How
ever, nobody blames the police them
selves. 1t isn't their fault.

A Physicians Wife.

The wife of a doctor who does

ing upon the trials and tribula-
tons of a Doctors wife:
Il have read your several comments On
telephone courtesy, and l wish you could
know the troubles of the wife of physi-
clan over the telephone are the wolds
of friend who happens to occupy the
position of which she speaks. Continuing
she told of some of the things she has to
contend with.
"For instance" she said, "just after
daylight the telephone rings. My 'hus-
band has been out nearly all night. has
just been able to get to sleep, and l get
out of bed and into the hall to answer
the telephone.
as this DR.. Blanks residence!"
"Yes"'
rs he in?"
Eyes, but he has just arrived and is
asleep. Will you leave your number? l
will ask him to call you as soon as he is
awake"
mo, I'll call again"
Then go back to bed and hardly
get covered up when the telephone rings
Eagain.
rs this DR.. Blanks residence"
Eyes"
81 called a moment ago to ask to speak
to him. You told me he was asleep. Just
say to him please that it does not matter
particular, I'll call later in the day"
And get back to bed again.
Then there is the caller who asks a
half dozen times day to speak to DR..
Blank. "He is not here but as soon as
he comes in l will have him call YOU" l
tell them.
"Oh no, I'll call again." they tell me
and again and again they will call, max
! ing the same request over and over again.
"There are some people who seem to
have holy horror of giving any one
their telephone number. They never
hseem to consider the immense amount
f6f useless trouble they are putting on the
physicians wife. They never seem to
think that the only way in which they
can get in touch with the physician is to
leave their number and that he will call
as soon as he arrives.
Il could 60 Oh indefinitely and tell you
of instances even more exasperating tn; n
those already recounted, but it seems to
do no good to urge them to cooperate
with the doctor and his wife; the yare
intent upon getting him when they call
and. will absolutely refuse to give Their
| number, even to the point Of discourtesy
sometimes"

STRUBLE, SOULE AND THE
THE INFLUENZA

This city has had a sample of what
common sense and consistent effort
will do in the solving of a problem
that for while threatened to bring
upon the city very serious damage.
During the first epidemic of infiuen-
"a. which was handled in a splendid
manner. considering all of the cir
cumstances connected with 1t, there
arose a great deal of friction that
finally developed into several fac
tions, each trying to enforce its au-
thority and to claim all credit for
the good and shirk all the blame for
the bad. When Mayor Struble as
sumed his office he was confronted
with a most chaotic condition of af-
fairs and finally settled the whole
question by cleaning the slate and
wiping out all existing agencies for
the handling of the disease. lmmedi-
ately there arose cry from those
who were hurt most, that the city
was filled with influenza, and this
campaign was quite industriously
followed. resulting in the circulation
OF the most wierd tales imaginable.
The Herald was better acquainted
with the real facts than many OF
those who were accusing 1t OF silence
were aware. 1t knew that Mayor
Struble was busily engaged in map
ping out plan that would take care
of the situation. and that DR.. ,Soule
had his plans for meeting the emer-
Gency all arranged. When every
thing was In readiness the program
was nut through. when. presto! the
cabaI ceased, and 1t was learned that
instead of 500 cases OF influenza there
was less than seventy. and really less
than half that number MOST OF
