pound of the mixture sustains a sol-

New York, Dec. 24.—Smallpox is
epidemic throughout the eastern
half of the Coiled States to ao extent
that is alarming, to say the least.
There lias been an effort to suppress
the facts, and newspapers and physi-
cians in many cities, from a false
sense of duty, have deceived tlie pub-
lie. In Greater New York to-day there
are, according to a reputable physician,
no less than 4,000 eases. The same au-
thority advanced the opinion that be-
tween the Atlantic ocean and the
Mississippi river, in a territory cm-
bracing the eastern half of the na-
tion, probably 25,000 persons are suf-
fering from the disease. It is no
secret that many cases have been
concealed, and to this fact is attrib-
uted the spread of smallpox wherever
it has appeared.

House In Which Young Cudahy Was Held
by Kidnapers for Ransom Pound
by the Officers.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 22.—Tlie result
of 24 hours' work on the part of the
police of the city and half a hundred
detectives lias brought to light the
location of the house in which Edward
Cudahy, dr., was held a prisoner for
nearly two days, and from which lie
was returned to his home in the city
at a late hour Wednesday night.
The house is located four miles
from the city and in a place of easy
access, but so situated as to allow the
desperadoes ample opportunity to lay
and carry out their plans without
molestation from inquiring neigh-
bors. Within easy communication
with rail and wagon roads leading in
and out of Omaha and South Omaha
and on a high knoll where sentries
could give immediate alarm in case of
necessity, the one and a half story
shack had been admirably chosen by
the bandits.

The Story About Frcnch Canadlann.
Augusta, Me., Dec. 24.—The story
to the efTect that large numbers of
French Canadians will leave New F.n-
gland for Quebec in the spring obtains
not the. slightest credence here. Itcne
Dupont, colonization ngent for the
Quebec and Lake St. John region, is
alleged to have said that "of 200,000
French Canadians in the state of
Maine, I believe 150,000 of them will
come back in the spring." The ec-
clesiastic records show that there are
but 65,000 French Canadians in the
state.

The trials of librarians in city libraries
have often been cited; those of the guardi-
ans of small country libraries are of a dif-
ferent character, but require perhaps the
exercise of even greater patience, says
Youth's Companion. .
"Ma want* you should pick her out a
book," said a freckle-faced «irl to the bright
young woman in charge of the free library of
a New England village; "and sliedon t want
i serious one, the says^ nor she don t want
a love story, without it's founded on fact.
Nor of course, she don't want anything she s
ever read before."
The librarian tapped her pencil thought-
fully on the desk, without a trace of de-
spair which a chance listener to this dialogue
expected to see on her face. ,
^Nor she don't want anything that s
chopped up into short stories, sne says^
continued the girl, bent on the librarian
further enlightenment, "and she wants con-
sider'ble going on, ana a lot of picture*, ma
does. And she told me particular to pay
she didn't want no di'lec' 6tories: she sava
she knows well enough how folks in tho
country talk."
Still the librarian thoughfu.ly tapped her
pencil, apparently waiting for further in-
"She wants a real sensible book, the kind
grandma likes and I like, too, volunteered
"ma's" emissary; then suddenly she leaned
over the librarian. "Say," she whispered,
hoarsely, "if there's one of the Robinson
Cruzo books in, ma said you'd better gimme
"Certainly," said the librarian, pleasant-
ly, and a moment later the well-thumbed
copy of the famous auveiitures had changed
hands, and the happy possessor of it de-
parted wreathed in smiles.
WEAKNESS OF HUMAN NATURE

"Talk about the frailties of human na-

other day, relates tlie Kansas City Journal,
"no one 'e.se has so good an opportunity to
discover tliem as an insurance man. An in-
cident occurred a few days ago that showed
me a side of a neighbors character which

out in his. home, and, do yon know, that
man went three blocks to a tc.ephone to re-
