" II 1t doesn't look that way at

"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 a 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 I ever saw in mt

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.

had become a nightmare to me. But
On that occasion I had an excuse all
ready made. I 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 a
sawed-of shotgun was guarding the
approaches to the house. Of course l

that was the meaning of my Dispatch
