HELL
IL You know, they say troubles come s~ngly-which is
just another way of saying that Old Lady Adventure is
never content with giving you just one sock on the jaw. I
don't know how true that is, but it certainly worked out that
way in the case of Hattie Rohr of Chicago.
Hattie's big bout with Old Lady Adventure came in the
winter of 1917. There was trouble enough in the world then,
without having the old girl with the thrill bag on your neck.
The war was on and the influenza epidemic was sweeping
the country. Hattie, in those days, was just an eleven-year-
old girl, living with her mother and dad and three sisters
on a farm between Clare and Dodge City, Iowa. Her name
then was Hattie Mclaughlin.
The flu epidemic struck the Mclaughlin family in Janu-
airy. 1t brought down Hatie's dad and her three sisters, and
that left Hattie and her mother to do all the chores around
that big farm. 1t was one of those days when everything
seemed to 60 wrong. Mother had just come from upstairs to
call the doctor. Dad and the three sick girls were worse.
While they were waiting for the doctor the party-line phone
rang. 1t was the school teacher, down with the flu herself, who wanted
Hattie to 60 to the schoohouse and post a notice Saying there would be
no school that day.
Already tired from her mornings work, Hattie struggled
more than a mile through the snow to post that notice. She found
two small children shivering in the cold, waiting for the school
to oren. and took them to her home and phoned their father to
come and get them. And no sooner had he come and gone with
his pair of kids than Hattie heard another knock N the door.
Stranger Comes In for Tea.
A strange man was out front. He said he was a telephone lneman
from Clare, and wanted to know if he could come in and get warm.
Hattie and her mother asked him in and gave him a cup of tea to warm
him up. While he was drinking his tea and eating a piece of corn
