silly talk, but yours is the worst yet.
You can't convince me that the day
will ever come when a man with the
jumping rheumatism, such assmy hus-
band is afflicted with, can sit down
and cure himself by reading book,
even if the book is endorsed by con-
gressmen and justices of the peace
and other dignitaries without number.
eff disease ever is banished from
the world, / have no doubt that some
thing worse will come to take It's
place. believe that everything In
this world is here for a good purpose,
even If it doesn't look that way at
first glance.
early this spring there was an cpl
demic of measles In this neighbor-
hood, and of course my little grand
daughter had TO come to visit me.
She never comes when the health CON
ditions are all that could be desired,
but just as sure as there is smallpox
or seven year itch or some other con-
tagious disease rampant. that angel
child comes to spend few days with
her beloved grandmother, and she
catches everything there is going.
She hadn't been here two days be-
fore she was down sick She had
more measles than ever saw in one
collection before, and her face was a
sight to be seen. L was inclined to
murnur and repine, for / was just
done with my housekeeping and was
so tired / felt as though I'd like to lie
down and sleep for six months, and
there was with a sick child in the
house, and was to be up night and
day seeing that she didn't catch cold,
for if child catches cold when she
has that disease, some of the measles
are sure to strike in, and then she
goes blind or loses her hearing or be-
comes an idiot.
81 was complaining to Mr.. Curfew,
and saying harsh, bitter things, when
a boy came TO the door with a tele-
gram. 1t was from Cousin Susan, and
she said she was coming on the night
train with her three children to spend

dren are holy terrors, and there is no
peace where they are.

ing Cousin Susan off before, and she
had become a nightmare to me. But
on that occasion had an excuse all
ready made. / sent back a telegram
saying that my granddaughter was in
the house with an aggravated attack
of measles, and the house was quar-.
antined, and a policeman with
sawed-off shotgun was guarding the
approaches to the house. OF course
didn't use exactly those words, but
that was the meaning of my dispatch.
and Cousin Susan had TO take her off
spring and unload them on her Aunt
Maria, who had never suffered Wis
itation OF that sort before.

their use. and even few measles in

eases, and now must disperse, for
