Woman Infects Milk.
A Boston waitress, who infected a
large can of milk hy drinkiug from
the supply which was next day given
. to the guests, was the cause of the epidemic
of typhoid at Jefferson, which
resulted in the death of several well
known Bostonians. according to an of- j
flcial statement issued by Dr. Mark
iW. Richardson, secretary of the State
Board of Health. "There was a wait

stages of typhoid on and before Labor
Day. She went to the refrigerator,
drank some of a can of milk and then
j>ut the can back. In the morning the
same milk was used by the guests at
^breakfast. The girl had infected the
can, and as a result all those who
used the milk contracted the disease."

hope of a new life in a new land.
Yes, there's lots of sad things happen
and plenty of happy ones as well, j
Weddings? Yes, we have them
most every day. There was one the
other day, perhaps you'd like to hear
about it? It was out of the common.
Not the wedding but the circumstances.
"Among the last load of immigrants
was an English girl, fairhaired
and blue-eyed, a very gentle,
modest girl who seemed too timid to
have ventured so far from home
alone. She told the officials that she
had come over from a Lancashire
mill town in order to marry her
sweetheart who had been in this country
for five years. He was expecting
her, she said, and would surely be at
the wharf to meet her, but when the
big liner was tied up at the dock
there was no sign of the young man,
and so she was given in my charge
until he came to claim her. <
"It was a very sober face that she j
turned away from the steamer, and.
all she could see of the busy life
about her seemed to Increase her evident
uneasiness. I found by questioning
her that her lover lived in an
Inland city some miles away and that
It would take some hours to get word
to him.
" 'He will come on just as soon as
he learns you are here,' I said encouragingly.
" 'Yes,' she answered eagerly, T
know that. He will remember that
I am all alone in a strange country
with no one to turn to,' and she made
a brave attempt to smile.
"In spite of her determination to
be cheerful, I was not surprised to be
awakened in the night by a sound of
sobbing from the English girl's room.
It was a long time before I could find
out the reason. 'No, she was not sitk,'
'No, she was not worried for fear
Stephen would not come* and so on,
but at last the real reason developed.
"She had sorted from home full of
hope and courage, but as the miles
that separated her from her sweetheart
diminished, a fear began to
creep into her heart in spite of all
her efforts to banish it. Stephen had
been living in the new world now for
Qve years; he was no longer the simple
English mill hand as ignorant as
herself of the world and the world's
ways. He had become an American,
accustomed to American ways; he
had been successful in his chosen
calling in the new country; had he
not sent her the money to pay for her
passage? But his thoughts and ambitions
were different from those of
the mill hand she remembered and
perhaps his ideals had changed, too.
"All during the long voyage she
had tortured herself with this
thought. Perhaps he did not love her
any more. After seeing the smart
American girls could he still have the
eame feeling for his countryfifjd 1
TTT^..1 ^ -u ~ V? S
^wcciucait: vvuum uc hul ue
ashamed of her, of her dress, her un- *
taught accents? Probably Stephen *
felt all this himself, but had been too 5
honorable to break his word and had *
sent her the money, to come over, al- 1
though he no longer felt the same to- (
ward her.
"The girl had argued the question 5
over and over in her mind until it had (
become too much for her and she im- }
plored me to tell her what she ought ;
to do. Should she go back to Eng- 1
land again or should she try to make :
her way alone in the new country if
the officials should allow her to land? "
Perhaps in a little while she could 1
grow more like the American girls,
lifcp thnsft shfi harl sppn nn thp
steamer, and so nearer his new ideals,
and then she might let him know 1
where she was and he would come to 1
her and they might be happy again s
together. 1
"She had worked herself into such 1
a state of mind that it was a long
time before I could convince her that '
she had nothing to fear from her !
sweetheart if he was still true to her. J
" 'He will not care for your clothes 1
or your accent,' I said, encouragingly.
'He will look once into your eyes and [
if he sees the same love shining there
that he saw when he looked into them 1
the last time in the little mill town in
England he will forget everything '
else in the world. Take my word for
it. And now, look! The sun is coming
up. Stephen may be here any '
minute this morning. Try to sleep
a nitie so that when he sees you he
will find the same rosy cheeks and
bright eyes that I am sure he thinks
of every day of hi3 life.'
"She obeyed me, comforted a lit- 1
tie, and I went out to begin a new 1
day's dufies, more than a little dis- (
turbed in my mind, for if the girl was '
right and Stephen was the kind of
man who was easily influenced, the !
new life in America might very well 1
have changed his ideas and feelings. 1
"I kept watch over the girl all the 1
morning, cheering her up with a word
or two whenever a shadow appeared
on her face, and it was a relief to me 1
when $ message came at last that a[(
young man was inqu'.iing for my Eng? I
lish charge. She trembled violently
when I told her that Stephen had
come and for a moment drew back an
if fearful that all her sorry vislona
had come true. Then she collected
berself and went bravely with ma
[Bto the room where a broad-shouli
dered, well-knit young man stood
back to us, talking rapidly to an inspector
in careless American fashion.
"Hearing our footsteps he turned I
and looked at the girl beside me for
a moment?so long that my heart began
to sink?and then with a glad
:ry held out his arms and kissed her
before us all and murmured endearments
over her in the rough Lanca-1
5hire dialest. No, America had not'
changed Stephen. His sweetheart's
'ace was more to him than the fashion
3f her dress, her clinging arms more
lhan American accents.
"So, explanations being over, we
had a little wedding here, and Ste- i
phen and his pretty bride, blushing
ind confident where she had been .
:imid and fearful, waved us farewells
ind left us for their own little home,
none the less cosey and full of love *

NEW HUNTING GROUNDS? \
Did Mexico Offers a Tempting Field tol ,
American Sportsmen.
*1 wish to bring to the attention of
sportsmen a large, new and practically
unvisited region where game in 1
;reat variety is still as plentiful as in i
:he old pioneer days," writes Dillon 1
Wallace, in Outing. "It is a region, i
loo, as quickly and easily reached aa i
:he overhunted districts of our own J
Rocky Mountains or the Canadian 1
wilderness. In this country, as for- 1
merly in the West, there are no game i
laws and no restrictions upon the ]
:hase save aim and conscience. i
"The region referred to is in old 1
Mexico. It may be said that every \
species of game animal found on the
tforth American continent south of
:he fiftieth parallel of north latitude
jxcept moose, caribou and elk, ia (
!ound in Western Mexico. The silver:lp
bear ranges all through the high j
Sierra Madres wherever there are
;ood feeding grounds, and wherever 5
;here are grizzlies you may expect
ilso the huge cinnamon bear, the
grizzly's close neighbor.
"The common brown bear is not so
lumerous, but the black bear is quite
plentiful. The white faced bear is
more rare, though it is sometimes
,'ound in the coast mountains. I could
lot learn that this species had ever ^
>een seen in the Sierra Madres.
"The higher mountains at all eleva;ion3
and even the lower foothills

Pacific side they are numerous almost

personal experience for the quality |

s so I cannot say. One reason possibly
1b lack of information as to exsting
conditions, and many doubtless
lesitate on the erroneous assumption
:hat all Mexico is an unhealthful
:ountry, sweltering under the trop- ,
cal sun and infested with venomous
nsects and reptiles. In the month
if November, 1907, my guide and I
tvere lost in the snow in Mexico for

Will Brides Wear Red?
i The Red Bride is the rage of Paris.
The Countess de Rezeny, one of the
, prettiest and most popular of the
young royalist set in the French capii
tal, was married in red?in a bridal
gown of red, with red veil, red gloves,
red shoes, red lingerie, red stockings.
Red, red, red, everything red, and the
daring of the Countess and her four
bridesmaids, who also wore startling
| red costumes, has started a,fashion
which may drive white satin and
' white veils forever from the altar and
substitute American Beauty roses for
, orange blossoms.,
[ Perhaps never before ha^ a revolu[
tionary movement in fashion created
such a sensation or caused such a stir,
[ says the Chicago Tribune. Red?the
color of revolution?was successful in
t this revolt against the seemingly absolute
reign of white. Society gasped

came, saw, and was converted, and
' red has already become the rage.
1 Already in England, conservative
' England, brides and bridesmaids have
1 compromised with the French fad and
1 are wearing red garlands instead of
' orange blossoms, and at the winter
1 weddings the holly berry will replace

! year the English will surrender to the
' Frencli 'fashion, and the makers of
f fashion the world over declare that
1 red has come to stay and will super1
sede white entirely as the color fdr
bridal gowns.
Already it is said preparations are
being made in Paris for almost a
i. score of red weddings during the
early winter. Some of the trousseaus
i that are being made at the great
Paris shops are being changed from
- the conventional white to the reddest
and most brilliant red that can be obtained.
Most of the brides who thus
. dare to follow the fashion set by the
t Countess are brunettes. But one
wedding which is expected to be bi

Itching Torture Was Beyond Words?*
Slept Only from Sheer Exhaustion
?Relieved in 24 Hours and.
Cured in a Month by Cuticura.
"I am seventy-seven years old, and some
years ago I was taken with eczema from
bead to foot. I was sick for six months
ami what I suffered tongue could not tell.
I could not sleep day or night because of
that dreadful itching; when I did sleep lb ?
waa from sheer exhaustion. I was one 9
mass of irritation; it was even in my scalp, fl
The doctor's medicine seemed to make me gfl
worse and I was almost out of my mind. I flj
got a set of the Cuticnra Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent. I used them persistently
for twenty-four hours. That night I slept
like an infant, the first solid night's sleep
I had had for six months. In a month I
was cured. W. Harrison Smith, Mt. Kisco,
