While v\ o.i.’king for Muso, Miss Hrisher met Anna Slifka, daughter oi Vidor Slii'ka, a prosperous farm er, and sister of a tMeeker shoe merchant. After a short court ship “Jack'' Hill and Miss Stifka were married, the ceremony be ing performed by the Rev. ivlr. Nuckois, pastor of the Meeker Methodist church. Hill and iiis bride took up a ranch on Flag creek and settled down. Three months ago a man named Thompson saw “Jack" Hill on the streets of Meeker. :: e thought he recognized the face and spoke to “iiim.” “You are Helen Hiisher, of Denver, are you nor.?" asked Thompson. “lam not/’retorted “Jack,’’ who turned abruptly and walked away. Thompson met Anna Shfka’s brother, who began an investi gation. The chmax came when rumors reached Slifka and he ac cused “Jack” Hill of bemg a woman. Anotiier iiot denial v^^as quickly forthcoming, but Slifka was angry and made threats. Miss Hiisher became alarmed and oegan making preparations to go to California. Her arrest fol lowed. Anna Siifka, the “bride,” has been taken to her father’s raricii and no one outside tiie members of her famdy is allowed to see her. It is said sue knew of her “husband’s” deception and ap proved of it, so she and Miss Hiisher could get enough money to attend an eastern college for women. Miss Hiisher says she “mar ried” Miss Slifka because siie was sorry for her and because slie wanted to aid her in getting iin education. Miss Hiisher was arraigned before a justice of the peace on tne charge of impersonating a man, On the witness stand the “wi,e” ot the ‘‘girl husband” declared tiiat she was “married” to Jack Hill nearly a year ago. Tnen Miss Hiisher took the stand in her own defense and swore that Siifka knew before they v/ere married tliat she was a woman and not hand some “Jack Hill,” w'ho had been ad mired by all the girls in town. “VVe decided together that we would get married to save me from being annoyed by young w'omen, also that both of us could, later on appear as men and earji more wages than we ever could hope to earn as girls. “But now I am sure .1 have had enough of tiie man business and would give anything to undo what has been done.

A good man came from a re mote rural district to a great city. As he stood upon a corn er where several ot the great arteries pf traffic con verged, he was astonished and bewildered at the ceaseless coming and go ing of endless hnes of street cars. To him it ail looked a hopeless jumble. At last, turning to hifi city host, he asked incredulously: “Do you suppose they are all agoin’ where they say diey be”? To him it was inconceivable that there couid be system and order an>d definiteness where apparently so much was a matter of speed and switches and skill ful marjunlation. Jean Ingelow tells a beautiful ly story of a little midshipman, who, ieaving his ship with his pay jingling in his pockets, star ted joyfully_ for home. Here he narrowly missed the hand of a greedy assassin by following a fluttering little white owl through a forest path; there he m.*ssed death by drowning in a brackish pool by stumping his toe and falling heavily. Ag^ain and agfetin a tuwi to the right or lelit, a little delay or extra speed saved him from disaster, and yet fvhen he reached home and his maitmg speeches the latter of this month. Senator Borah and Mr. Stokes are oid .iriefids. .But Senator Horah’s espousal of the Repub lican car^didate’s principled in ti'ie New Jersey fight is not the result of friendship alone, but is based upon a conviction that the vote given :\lr. Stokes at the primary election indicates clear ly a desire for the union of ■ the Progressive and Repubhcan fo2.’ces under the Republican ban ner. Senator Borah will visit the centers of population. He prob ably will devote co»siderable at tention to the northern parts of the State, becaucje of ex-State' ■Senator Colby’s supposed streng th in the upper counties. While Senator Borah no doubt will spend most of his time in an automobile, he will still be the guest of his old college friend, Mr. J. E. Curry of Cranburg, Middlesex County.

Value of the Law. It is not contemiplated that there mother asked him what had be-j governor of New York, The liar, Stripes I I. The Tiger’s spring was, as ; usual, straight and true to the j mark, and Sulzer is finished. 1 .any very serious difflculty In With a dreadful irony the beast, having struck out the hfe, re fuses to mangle the body—Sulzer is not disquahfied from holding office. But Stripes,that destroyed Sul- zer, first made him, and he was broicen only because he was un- suited to the /purpose for which he was created. Sulzer is de^ stroyed to make room for a more tractable man. By Tammany’s will iViartin H, Giynn is made failen him by the way, he said: “On, nothing; that is nothing much!” In the routine of the average hfe, we do not always realize that an"overruling Power sur rounds us at ail times, and that we daily have escapes at which even the angels wonder. Some- umes we are fortunate enough to stub a toe, and we are brought to a standstill to save us from a greater danger. Then, too, the threads which often loqk so at cross purposes and in siich a hopeless tangle in our ow'n lives or the lives of those about us really do go thief and perjurer Sulzer was too good for the Tiger, therefore Mr. Glynn shali succeed him. May iie have joy in his elevation!. Yet many believe that when November comes along thous ands of presumably respectable citizens of New York w'ill turn out to elect to office still another creature of the Tiger, in spite of tbe appalling record just read. Who, tben, really wears the Stripes, the Beast of Prey, or those \fhom he has by some strange spell shackled mind and body 10 his service - worse than felons in that their imprisonment is of their own volition, and bids securing complete 'registration of all hirths and deaths when the people once appreciate the value of such a law. It will take perhaps 'five min. u'tes to fill out*a hirth Certificate and another five minutes to fill put a death certificate and that insures that full ofRciaSl record will be made, and filed in the state capitpl for .alil time, of the vital events in the lives of all our citizens. V From a public health point of view the tabulation of vital statis;^lcs shows where death rates are high an^ wheJ*© health work is needed. In a few years the effect of health work can he s'how;Q and the vailue of a health offi cer can be shown in his ability to reduce tlhe death rate. SU’Ch records also prove legitimacy, the right t^o attend school, to work In factorlw, to marry, to vote, to pay 'taxes, to as to the efficiency of anti-typhoid vaccination. Length of Immunity. Aibout tl:e only question left 3s the matter of the length of immunity con ferred. Unfortunately, our experience wi'th anti-typhoid vaccine has not "been long enough to p^pve the general length of the immunity 'Conferred. In the army, a very cbnservative practice has heeii formed of vaccinating against typhoid and smadlpox ■ every 4 years. There are no gpoundB for netting these arbitrary standards, but it is thought to be much better to be on the safe side. In all proba/biHty, immunity from typhoid is inuch like immunity from smallpox. In some cases it may last for only 4 or 5 years, and in other cases it may last a lifetime. As yet, however, it is not conceded that typhoid vacoination Is quite as effect ive or as lasting as smallpox vaccina- tion. . 0 '.. Another singular coincidence has been that to over 200,000 vaccinations against typhoid in the army, not a single death has resulted frolii the vaiccihation itself. This, of course, is due very larigely to proper care in ad ministering the vaccine. Within a short time It is to be hop ed tihat iiot oMy the other colleges and schools of tJie State w^ill follow the example of A. and M., but that anti-typhoid vaccine will become quite somewhere definitely after all, i fair never to end? hold office, to obtain life in’suranije, to ' general among the public at large Persons that travel or camp or are ex posed to typhoid infection should by all means avail themselves of this precaution. .yaout the middle of October the State JL&bdrwtory ot Hygiene will be inaMng its own anti-typhoid vaccine. Tlhis y^ccine will 'be supplied at only a fraction of the price now charged by manufacturers, aad it Is to be hoped that by this mean* our present high de^th rate ttwii trolM>W will ehofw a raduotim. enter into partners^i'iip, to fix respon sibility for «imes, etc. By meaas of sucfh records we can obtain indispu table proof of death for fixing insur ance claims, pension rights, etc. Sta tistics obtained from such records also have educational value, in fact, when a vital statistiics law has 'been in effect for some time, the uses to v/hich it is put are legion. The only ’•?a?on we don’t appreciate their value ■ •• ' is because we have never b«d t
