This is “house- cleaning” time and we .are going to do our work thoroughly at once. eee There ‘are a number of our readers ‘who, if they will, can very materially assist us in locating agents and cor- respondents. We sincerely trust that they will do so promptly without waiting Jonger. Does this mean you, in’ Rev. J. M. Townsend, pastor of Al- Yen Temple, Cincinnati, is a candidate for the bishopric of the A. M. ©. church. He is one of the best sen im the clergy of that connection and ought to have been thus elevated long ago. Rev. Townsend is a thorough race man of more than ordinary edv- cation, ability and experience. We sincerely trust that he will be suc- cessful at’ the general conference which meets in ‘May at Columbus. Let iit ihe said to the eteraal credit of Ohio Afro-American republicans that all of them, with one exception, absolutely refused to accept the “sop” tendered by those in control ef the state convention held in Co- Iumbus the past week. Our people of this state are entitled to at least one delegate-at-large to the next re- publican convention, and their disin- clination to.aceept the alternateship which only .one of their number in all this state sought, shows their good sense and judgment, as well asa growing manhood, that is pleasing in the extreme. Those in power with the administration seem to place a very ‘small value upon the assistance tendered the state and national re- publican parties by the forty or more thousand Afro-American voters in Ohio, whe. they undertake to dole out to them as sufficient recognition an alternateship to the national con- yeution, and two insignificant places, which are nothing more than clerk- ships, as a return for loyalty and good work such as the voters re- ferred to have furnished. The time is coming, however, and is not far distant whennot-only the powers that be, but our people throughout the state, will fully realize the tremend- ous mistreatment to which we call at- tention. The state convention of Tuesday and Wednesday at Columbus ‘was a tame affair, such as Ohio has not known before in all its history, and if the indications which were so numerous on Tuesday and Wednes- day in Columbus, «as a result of the talk of delegates, are to be relied upon, it will be a long time before another such will be held in the state. Only the candidacy -of the president, an Ohioan, prevented open revolt, which would have startled the entire country the past week, and we are not referring particularly to dele- gates of color in the convention, either. The fact is, that outside of their dissatisfaction as a result of the “sop” proffered, they had little to say, but hundreds and hundreds of white delegates were frank and open in their talk agaimst Washington control of state amd@ county conven- tions. THE WASHINGTON CHRONICLE ON BOSS HANNAISM. The Washington Chronicle corre- spondent has offered some very in- teresting comments on the remark- able political methods practiced by by what is termed Hamnaism. A strong arraignment is made of the present. managers of the republican party in Ohio. But these comments apply to the action of party leaders as they concern national interest and the tendencies to party success in the next campaign. The Chronicle is severe, and offers some grave imputa- tions against Senator Hanna and the president, while it is both reproach- fo) and unpardonably censurable in its thrusts against Gov. Nash and his friends. To identify Gov. Nash with the schemes and measures adopted and prosecuted by Hon. Mark Hanna and his supporters, would place him only in the light of a subordinate, a man receiving orders and acting under the authority of his superiors. For it is a recognized fact that Senator Hanna has showa himself a strong and leading factor fa: both state and national polities. Whether he deserves the censure and eriticism which ut times is so indis- eriminately administered to him, he, mevertheless, has become a central figure in public affairs. He is a man of great force of character, and has wielded an effective influence over the masses. Whether he has been actuated through selfish, patriotic or generous motives, remains yet with the public to determine, It is evi- dent that he has rendered efficient gervice to his party, and that he has shown no mean ability as a leader: ut whether he has strictly regurded ‘every personal obligation and im con- scious duty kept every sucred pledge with those to whom he stood shone remains with him to answer. If . pes deluded some, and deccived others in order to mature plans and accomplish his ends, and thus be guiled men in order to become his) henchmen, he stands responsible for; the deed. He is charged with cruel bossism, and the Chronicle viciously impeaches the senator for want of, loyalty and fidelity to his friends, thus assailing qualities of mind most essential to a pure and exalted char- acter. The Chronicle may have mis- interpreted the spirit and meaning of Mark Hanna’s conduct, and thus places him in a false light before ‘those once his most confidential friends. Be this as it may, treachery to friends or disloyalty to an honor- able obligation is as censurable as it is perfidious and deserves to be de- nounced. No one man can hope to ‘retain the unit of the party and in- duce a growing influence. without that fealty which inspires confidence. and trust. From an observation of the political situation both in Ohio, and the nation, the Chronicle has had opportunity to reach some intel- ligent conclusions; but it is possible that purtisan rivalry has prompted an overdrawn view of minor differ- ences. Gov. Asa Bushnell, Gov. Nash, Congressman Grosvenor, Messrs, Me- Kisson and MeLean are well exco- riated for specific elements of popu- larity and weakness, which even yet continue to render these notable characters quite problematical. We are uncompromisingly of the pure, radical, republican type, and only a consciousness of rectitude should drive us to relinquish our political fealty. So complex are the problems involved with the duties and obli- gations of public and individual citizens, that all that may be claim- ed, pro or con, can not be harmonized until a fair and equal distribution of the privileges of government be ac- iowledged and conferred. THE STATE CONVENTION. Only One Negro to be Found Who Would Take the “Sop”—Some “Ad~ ministration” Facts of Interest to @hio Atro-American Republicans. Columbus, 0.—The state convention of Tuesday and Wednesday was in- deed a very tame affair—everything “eut and dried” in Washington, D. C., weeks and weeks ago. For one time in his life the “eol- ored brother” of Ohio with one ex- ception (a W. M. N.), did the proper thing. All, with the exception noted, absolutely refused to accept the “sop” (an alternate-at-large to the next national convention) offered by “the powers that be.” Only one Ne- gro in all Ohio begged for it and that was the individual who was giv- en it. "Twas ever thus. If Ohio Afro- Americans are entitled to anything it is to one of the delegates-at-large, and they know it. “Sop” will not satisfy. The above reminds me that all the national administration has given the Ohio “colored brother” is a very little “sop” in the way of appoint- ments. Beside one or two clerkships, laborers and messengers in the de- partments at Washington, all we have is the chief clerkship in the stamp department at the nation’s eapital, held by John ureen, formerly of Cleveland (he of the fountain of tears), and the consulsnip at Santo Domingo, held by Cam, Maxwell, for- merly of Xenia. The former is a $2,500 a year job and the latter a $2,000. A poor white man, formerly a resident of Cleveland, was given a governmental appointment that peys him more than do all the (few) places held by Ohio Afro-American republi- cans given places by the present “powers that, be,” and they are con- trolled by Ohio white republicans, too, the president and Senator Hanna and Gen. Dick being one, two, three in that “push.” How do you like it, Mr, Ohioan of color? LAUGH. ine Menclik of Africa. The caravan was left about fifteen miles from the capital to which the party proceeded and were most cour- teously received by Capt. Harrington, the British resident, and his secre- tary, Mr. Baird. The residence of King Menelik is a two story building with extensive court yards in the cen- ter of a large plain, through which are scattered an immense number of erude huts, containing probably 20,- 000 people. The party, attired in faultless dress suits, but riding sorry mules into the court yard were re- ceived in audience the next day. The king is described as a man of about fifty-eight years of age, of dari com- plexion marked with smallpox, with a slight gray beard, and_ brillian: dark eyes. He has a keen and thoughtful face and through an in- terpreter conversed intelligently with his guests. He inquired particularly from what part of America M:. Whitehouse had come and remarkin:z on the very great distance, express- ed the hope they would have a suc- cessful trip and carry away a gov account of his dominions, promising them guides and a safe conduct. The king invited the party to dine with him on Christmas day, old style Jan. 8, when he entertained right royally with cooked meats, raw meats, how- ever, being served to the several thon- sand natives assembled at the feas*.

I think the prisoners who would swear allegiance were turned loose. Col. Bell gave all the men a good talk before he left Castra Lahos, giving them to understand that American laws must be obeyed, and if any more fighting or bush-whacking was done what would be the consequences, I think the insurrection is about broken up in this province. Hundreds of natives have been coming in town, some to stay, some with edibles to sell, and others to pass through. The gunboat fired the usual salute on Washington's birthday and made a holiday call at this port. I under- stand the government is goiaz 10 build a dock here and if they do it will be one of the main sea ports. ‘The town of Subig itself is not much, ut the country is rich, and the in- terior towns are not far apart and are towns of great importance. I notice a number of articles in the papers in regard to the education of these people, and much is said of them that is wrong. The majority of them have good educations. I have not come in contact with but one Filipino over nine years old, but what could write. It is part of their re- ligion to educate the mind as well as the heart and the child is sent to school (Catholic) to get both at the same time. The fact is the people are not fools. Their manners are just as polite as any class of people lever met. Of course a few of their costumes differ. The majority do not understand the American form of government. They believe the chureh and state is one. When this is understood they will cease fighting more readily. It is to be hoped that the end will soon come, so we can get home once again. Everything is quiet on the north line above us and on the south line. There is no ques: tion but that they are pretty well broken up on Luzon, and wha‘ re- mains are only small bands that are keeping to the mountains. , Cc. W. CORDTN, Company B. 25th Infantrv. IMPORTANT APPEAL. Onc ssuncredts Anniversary of the Birth of John Brown, May 9, 1900— ‘The Day Should be Observed by AU Afro-Americans. ; Among the illnstrious sons of America there have been none more ,courageous, resolute’ and self-sacri- ficing than John Brown, the Sage of ‘Ossawattomie, the 100th anniversary of whose birth occurs on May 9th of the present year. He was a firm be- jliever in the Fatherhood of God and jthe brotherhood of man. His love of liberty was a consuming passion iwhich caused him to abhor human slavery and to voluntarily yield up his life for the overthrow of the in- iquitous institution. He was the har- binger of a brighter day for the slaves, a herald of the deliverance which was to come. He demonstrat- ed his loyalty to the race when he stopped to kiss a Negro child, on his way to the place of execution. OBSERVANCE BY CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, ETC. Every colored church, every color- ed school, literary society, and espe- cially every Afro-American council ishould hold public exercises in honor of this grand old hero. If there jever was a time when a courageons jand self-sacrificing character should ‘be held up to our boys and girls for jemulation, now is the time, when ithere is so much being said about \self-effacement, servility, and the iNegro keeping his place; when there jis so much sycophancy being prac- 'ticed, to the injury of our race, There is no character so well cal- culated to inspire courage, self-re- {spect and love of manhood rights, ‘as the hero of “Harper's Ferry.” While we have to some extent ‘sounded the praises of John Brown, onr paeans have not been commen- surate with the sacrifices which he smade for the race. We have been accused of being un- grateful, not only by the whites, but by our own people; we now have an opportunity to prove the charge un- true. Shall we do so? I earnestly appeal to all lovers of iberty, all lovers of fair play, to use their influence to make the occasion a grand success throughout the coun- ‘try. I further urge that a collection be taken, and the amount sent to ‘Mr. John W. Thompson, treasurer of ‘the Afro-American council, box 492, Rochester, N. Y., to assist in prose- cuting the case which the council now has before the supreme court of the United States, being conduct- ed by Congressman White and ex- Senator Edmunds. The following is ‘the programme of exercises for the ‘anniversary: PROGRAMME. Organ voluntary, prayer; introduc- tory remarks; music; paper, “John Brown and His Work”; reading ex- ‘tracts from Brown's addresses to ‘court at his trial; paper, “The Ke- ligious Side of John Brown”; recita- tion, poem, “Harper’s Ferry"; music, “Battle Hymn of the Republic” (Howe); address, “Life and Character of John Brown”; solo (selected): “The Humanity of John Grown; poem, “Retribution” (Lowell); “The Tragedy of Harper's Ferry”; solo (selected); paper, “What the Negro Owes to John Brown”; collection for the Afro-American council; doxology and benediction.

Spinach is one of the vegetables that improve by be- ing warmed over. Indeed, the French housewife usually cooks it by quantity —looking forward to its reheating. It is related of Brillat-Savarin that after his cook had warmed it over for him 13 times he was so much gratified by its improvement that he devlared he would would never eat it again until it had received its 13 consecutive warmings. Like the majority of pot greens, spin- ach should be blanched, and, like the rest, first thoroughly looked over and washed. Cut off all the stalks, and after looking over the leaves put them in a large pan or tub of cold water. Plunge them up and down to remove the sand, then lift the leaves out into a second pan of water. Do not attempt to drain the water off, as that leaves the sediment which has sunk to the bottom. Rinse yet a third time and cook in a very little boiling salted wa- ter for 15 or 20 minutes. Drain it into cold water, and when cold drain again, Put the leaves in a chopping bow! and cut fine. Have ready in a spider or frying pan a tablespoonful of butter, add the spinach, season with salt and pepper and a little cream, if desired— in which case less butter will be need- ed. Heat thoroughly and serve ona hot dish, surrounded by toasted bread points. The yolk of a hard-boiled egg put through a ricer over the mounded spinach makes an effective and appe- tizing garnish. An excellent eneaustie used by the French for polishing floors is made of one pound of beeswax and one pint of turpentine. Melt the wax in a water bath of gentle heat. When quite soft remove from the fire and heat im the turpentine until it assumes the con- sisteney of a paste. This polish, it must be remembered, is extremely in- flammable, and great care must be taken in mixing it not to allow it to come in contact with the fire. When ready to use, melt over the register or in a pan of warm water until it is soft as butter. Spread a thin layer over the cloth-covered brick, begin at one cor- ner and polish in lengths, letting the new row overlap enough to avoid show- ing a streak. The corners have to be done with a flannel cloth, and on the knees. If there are black spots on the floor, put on oxalic acid first, then polish. Bad spots may be rubbed off with steel wool. Much labor may be saved in the care of polished hardwood floors by the use of the frottoir, or weighted brush. As these are a great expense to buy, an excellent substitute may be made at home by covering a brick with earpet and catching it in a clamp with a long handle used for scrubbing brushes. If there are plenty of active children or young people in the family a novel plan is to wrap pieces of ingrain carpet around their feet, strike up a lively jig on the piano and turn the children loose. In an orphans’ home in New York state the children, supplied with woolen socks over their shoes, merrily slip and slide about, hand in hand, to the accompaniment of appropriate kitchen garden songs until the floors all over the building are delightful to behold. This is similar to the French method, where polishing brushes made of Russian bristles are strapped to the Hert: like Bales: Wadhineiin Gi HOMEMADE TOILET WATERS. Formulas for Preparing Harmless and Refreshing Lotions for the Skin, | The springtime lotions that are now in demand to keep the skin in goor condition are often better when home. made, and even the toilet waters which are supopsed to be more diffi eult of preparation, are quickly and easily made when the process is once understood. For violet water, put a quarter of a pound of freshly picked violets, to. gether with their weight of pure alco. hol, into a large bottle; cork and shake the bottle every day for one week; then add a quarter of a pound ‘of water, filter and bottle for use. Lavender water is made by slowly steeping one pound of fresh lavender with one pint of water for one hour in a covered farina boiler. On its re- moval from the fire add two quarts of alcohol, filter and bottle. Keep well corked. One of the most delightful of the homemade toilet waters is cherry Ifurel water. Bruise one ounce of bay leaves and add to them a hall- pint of water. Steep slowly for an hour in a farina boiler; take it from the fire and add one quart of javender water; filter aad bottle for use.— Home Life. cae | ae x * 4 | ae IRQS Qe.

F. 48th U. S. V. infantry regiment stationed in Manila, Philippine islands. He enlisted in New York city, Oct. 3, 1899, was sent to Pt.

A grand May party will be given for the benefit of the Home for aged colored people May 3d, at Masonic hall, 354 Ontario street, under the auspices of the several Masonic institutions.

Mitchell, one of our pioneer residents, and for many years a leader in musical circles, both vocal and instrumental, died Thursday morning at 7:30 at Lakeside hospital, after many months' illness, which only became critical during the last few weeks of his life. Prof. Mitchell was one of the founders and for many years the leader of the Excelsior Reed and Brass band, and was one of the pioneer members of the local musical union. He was within a few months of 70 years of age, and leaves a wife, son and daughter to mourn his demise. The funeral will take place this (Saturday) afternoon at 2 o'clock, sun time, from the family residence, 200 Oregon street. The musical union will doubtless furnish a band, which should contain about all the members of the Excelsior Cornet band, as well as others. His family have the sympathy of the community. Prof. Mitchell was a man of superior attalnments, education, and of wide experience, especially as a musician. Misses Mary Hackley and Alberta Sweet were married Wednesday and Thursday evenings respectively, so current rumor says. Services were held in Cory Chapel, Sunday, for the first time since the recent conflagration. To-morrow Rev. Dr. Page Lewis will preach the morning service, Rev. John F. Meeks, at three o'clock, and Rev. Langford the evening service. An invitation is extended to the editor of The Gazette to be present. The Epworth league convention and Sunday school institute will convene in Oberlin the first and second of May. Misses Mary Fitzhugh, Nellie Jackson, Eliza Langford and Myrtle Henderson were elected delegates. The W. W. will present the church with a Bible for the opening at their business meeting. The following officers were elected for another year: Mrs. J. S. Thomas, pres.; Miss M. Gatewood, vice-pres.; John F. Meeks, treasurer; Mrs. G. A. Peters, secretary; Mrs. Lizzie Martin, assistant secretary; Rev. Langford, chaplain; Mr. A. Hunter, sergeant-at-arms. The next social will be held at Mrs. Lucinda Brown's, 63 Linden street. Major Felix Rosenberg, the "About Town" writer of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, was in the 8th Immunes (colored) during the Spanish-American war. The regiment was in camp in the south. In a recent contribution to the Plain Dealer, he gave the following: "An army officer who was traveling north a year ago noticed a neat-looking colored girl in the day coach who seemed to have trouble with the brakeman. In a few minutes the conductor entered the car and asked the girl what she meant by riding in the day coach instead of the "jim-crow" car set aside for black people. The girl told him she was going all the way to Racine, Wis., and that she simply could not stand the condition then prevailing in the jim-crow coach. "Where are you from?" asked the conductor. The girl produced a letter, showing that she was a graduate from Tuskegee, going out into service. "Are you from Mr. Washington's school?" asked the conductor. And when he had satisfied himself that such was the case he said to her: "Now you sit right still, little girl, and don't you move." And she did sit still, in violation of the law that divides the traveling facilities of the races in the south, while the conductor risked his employment in the exercise of his tribute to Booker T. Washington and his school." Be sure to read the Boston Chemical Co.'s ad., elsewhere in this paper. SUMMER OUTINGS. Where to Go and How to Get There.

"When he was 3 months old, first fes-ters and then large boils broke out on my baby's neck. The sores spread down his back until it became a mass of raw flesh. When I washed and powdered him ```markdown ``` I would cry, realizing what pain he was in. His pitiful wailing was heart-rending. I had about given up hope of saving him when I was urged to give him Hood's Sarsaparilla, all other treatment having failed. I washed the sores with Hood's Medicated Soap, applied Hood's Olive Ointment and gave him Hood's Sarsaparilla. The child seemed to get better every day, and very soon the change was quite noticeable. The discharge grew less, inflammation went down, the skin took on a healthy color, and the raw flesh began to scale over and a thin skin formed as the scales dropped off. Less than two bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla, aided by Hood's Medicated Soap and Hood's Olive Ointment, accomplished this wonderful cure. I cannot praise these medicines half enough." MRS.

What a Prominent Resident of Xenia Says About Acetylene Gas-Lots of Light-Little Expense. From the Xenia (O.) Daily Gazette, April 13. Mr. L. M. Garfield, well known in this city as the superintendent of the Miami Powder Works, was recently interviewed by a Gazette representative, regarding his personal experience with the new illuminant, known to the commercial world as Acetylene Gas. Mr. Garfield said: "I installed a ten light acetylene generator in the cellar of my residence, 425 North Galloway street, about two years ago, and I have used it for illuminating my home every night since. I have certainly given it a thorough test during that length of time, and know its advantages. While the machine is supposed to develop sufficient gas for but ten lights, I have often used as many as fifteen lights at once with perfect success. The light it gives is brilliant and white, and the nearest approach to sunlight of anything yet produced for artificial lighting." "What about the expense, Mr. Garfield?" "I have paid about four dollars a hundred pounds for the calcium carbide which is used in the generator to make the gas, and use something less than seven hundred pounds a year. Approximately the total cost per year has been about twenty-seven dollars, as the carbide is the only expense. It is the perfection of light at little cost and trifling labor, free from odor or anything objectionable. I have nothing but praise for the generator and the light it develops, and I am not speaking theoretically, but from my actual experience in my own residence." In this connection, the 1899 report to the Governor of the State, of Mr. A. W. Stiles, secretary of the Girls' Industrial Home, at Rathbone, O., regarding the Acetylene Gas plant in use in that institution, will be of interest to our readers. Mr. Stiles says: "Our Acetylene Gas plant has given very gratifying results during the past year, the light from it being a very steady, white light, without smoke, by far superior and more satisfactory than that furnished by the old system used here. We now have about 600 burners, which can be increased, with but a very small outlay, to five times that number. We have had no trouble in getting all the carbide we need. Including all expenses incurred in remodeling and changing the (gas) plant to the present system, our lights have not cost us nearly so much for the year as did the system abandoned in July, 1898. There is no more danger in using it than there is in the use of any gas. We think it is the best light known, and requires but little skill in its manufacture." The popularity of this new illuminant is attested by the fact that in the few years since its development into a commercial possibility, over fifty thousand buildings have been successfully lighted by it, and the annual ratio of increase is becoming greater yearly. It is the ideal light for dwellings, stores, churches and every class of building where artificial light is needed, and it is little wonder that the owners of indifferently lighted buildings are looking earnestly into the subject of lighting by Acetylene Gas. A SMART LAWYER'S MISTAKE. Mulleted His Partners in a Deal But They Afterwards Got Even. A well-known Maine attorney is especially noted for his keenness in looking out for the best end of every bargain—and for his ability in getting hold of that end. It has made him unpopular in some circles—has that trait of his! On one deal not long ago he was in with a couple of friends—men of wealth and standing, says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. Business was good the first year. There was a generous division of profits. But the lawyer wasn't satisfied with what was coming to him, share and share alike with the others. After receiving his proper whack as a partner, he exacted $500 more for "council fees." He said that as a lawyer he was worth that much more to the deal. This was a new way of looking at the matter, but the bill was resignedly allowed by the friends. They were pretty good business men, understand. In a little while they saw that the venture wasn't panning out very well. So the shrewd men of affairs quietly unloaded without saying anything to their partner. Then a little later came the crash. The lawyer hurried around to hold a consolation meeting with the other two. "Gracious, isn't this too bad," moaned he. "I lost so-and-so. How much did you fellows drop. You must have been hit pretty hard." "You're wrong, old boy," came the cheerful duet. "We never lost a dollar; no, we never lost a cent. Tra la." "What-t-t!" "Never lost a dollar! We saw it coming two months ago. Had a tip. Unloaded. All out!" "Well, then, why in the name of all that's square and above board, didn't you tell me?" "Well, we could have, had you allowed us $500 counsel fees when you took yours. See?" A Grateful Porter Senator Clark, of Wyoming; Senator Shoup, Gen. F. C. Ainsworth, Gov. N. O. Murphy, of Arizona, and representatives and railroad men went on a tour of inspection a short time ago. They had a private car which was presided over by a porter named Johnson. When the car got back to Washington the men made up a purse for Johnson, and Senator Shoup was selected to make the presentation. Johnson was called into on of the staterooms where the men had assembled. Senator Shoup scolded Johnson for his many delinquencies, but finished by saying: "Notwithstanding all this, Johnson, we have decided to make you a little present, which I now take pleasure in handing you." Johnson took the money and smiled, "Gem'men," he said, "I shore is grateful for this yere gif. You is all gem'men. Yassir. I kin shorely say you is all gem'men from Senator Shoup up."—Washington Letter. His Fatal Mistake.

"Then, count," came the cruel answer of Miss Ugleigh, "you'll have to look a little further. Your affection doesn't appeal to me." For she had a mirror that had told her a few things about her beauty. Besides, as she afterward said, "What's the use of having money if it isn't appreciated?" What, indeed?—Baltimore American.

Nobody who may be thinking of stopping in peace at the Grand hotel, in Paris, should ask the maitre d'hotel about the American woman who spoke French with the aid of a dictionary. Although there was no need for it, as they all spoke English, she persisted in firing Ollendorfian French at the waiters every moment. One sad-eyed knight of the apron came down one morning and asked for leave of absence and the maitre d'hotel himself went up to solve the mystery. After a violent tirade against the incivility of the garcon she declared that his French was so frayed out at the edges that he did not understand what "a bottle of embonpoint" was. And it took the manager 20 minutes to discover that she had intended to ask for stout. —Chicago Evening News. $100 Reward $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

When the doctor called in response to a hurry-up summons, the young man looked at him with eyes that had an unnatural luster, and his cheeks suggested fever to the man of science, says the Detroit Free Press. "Ah, heavy cold, I see," ventured the doctor. "Sure. Lungs as sore as a boil. I can't talk above a whisper, and when I cough I'd rather be on a rack. But I want to be examined, and don't you overlook a spot or place that is liable to be involved." The doctor felt, listened, thumped and questioned. "Just a heavy cold was the verdict. "Narrow escape from pneumonia, but a few days will put you all right again." "Sure." "Certainly. What am I here for? Just take your medicine and stay right in bed until I say you can move."
