Biil Down in Florida Where There Is
Scare. ;
SAYS MANY ARMS WERE BARE.
Arp Then Talk* About llow Physicians
Have Become Famous for
Their Discoveries.
Jacksonville, Fla., April 12.?Jacksonville
has pot the smallpox scare.
It is not a panic, for there has been
no deaths, but there are about forty |
cases ami the board of health have
pot them out of town ami have order
eil universal vaccination. A child
can't go to school without a sore
arm and a certificate from the doctor.
My son is a clot tor here and it
interests me to note the flocks of
children who come and go and to listen
to their talk. Mothers or sisters ;
come with them to keep their courage
tip. Some are timid and some are :
brave. Young men come at night and
take their turns, and the city will
soon he immune. What a wonderful
discovery it was?only a hundred
years ago Or Jenner dared to proclaim
it to the world and It took
twenty-five years to make the world
believe it. \'ow every child that
bares its arm to receive the virus is
a living monument to the sagacity of
that great and good man. It is pathetic
to read how he was hounded
and persecuted by the envious and
malignant of the modi< al profession.
How paticntlv he wait< >l for time and |
truth to prove bis theory, and li\ 1
to see it confirmed, ar.d when he died
a beautiful monument was erected
in Trafalgar square to honor his
name ami perpetuate his fame and
memory. Our own Hr. Crawford
Long is entitled to a similar manorial,
not only bv the state, but by tlio
nation, for although he did not pro- .
tort mankind from a pestilence, he '
did give them immunity from pain
under the surgeon's knife. I remember
well when the patient had to
clinch his teeth and strong men had
to hold him while the doctor cut and
sawed his limb in two.
I remember when it was my part
to bold tin- foot and leg that was
being severed from a poor sufferer,
and when at last the saw had cut. t
through the hone and the weight ot '
the limb came down upon me I faint- !
ed aP'\ fell clown upon the lloor with ]
the breeding leg. Hut Kvans never
groaned. He lived to make me another
pair of boots. 1 remember
when at college in 1SIG, l had a jaw
tooth extracted, and took what was .
then called Morion's Lethean, and j
didn't know when it was pulled. It
took me some time to get over it J
and as I was reeling hack to college
I met Professor Mc Coy, and in a hi- t
iarious manner slapped him on the
shoulder and said: "Hello, old Mack"
and he thought 1 was drunk and had
me before the faculty. My roommate
Perrell Cody, was with me and tried
to explain, but the professor would |
not hear Dim ami we Dart fun next j
morning when the truth tame out.
Tho professor apologized to me anrt :
not long after invited me to supper. |
Poor Bill Williams was there?good,
loving Bill Williams. He was my
classmate anrt I loved him. and
mourned for him when lie died. He j
hart charge of the blind asylum, at ,
Macon lor many years. Every now
and tlion the hoys drop out. Just i
drop out and the procession moves on.
1 read of every one anrt feel sail lint
that is all I car. do. A friend in Atlanta
ashed me the other day, "why
didn't you write something about
Eugene Harris, your college mate- and
one of tin truest, kindest and best
men that ever lived." "Of course,
of cours<\" said I. "hut what could I
write." lb* was a friend in need, a j
friend indeed an aristocrat by birth, j
a gentleman in heart and manners.j
Post everything by the war except
the gentleman thai was born in hint. !
He died poor and was buried by his
friends, but lie was a big-hearted j
gentleman to the very last. How j
hind he was to my wife and little
children during the war, when they
were fleeing lrom the foul invader,
and I was far away. That's all. lie
was not a great man in any sense,
but he had a great big heart and
would have died for a friend. That's
all! If I can't find hirn in heaven, t
shall he disappointed. My wife says ;
he was the best friend she ever had I
when she was In the greatest distress.
Easter is about over and will soon
he forgotten. I brought down some
Easter eggs for a little grandson.
Ills cousin dyed them for him and he
was very curious to know tnore about
them, and said to his mother. "Mother.
who is this Easter man and where
does he live?" "He lives up in heaven,"
she said, "and his name is
Jesus." "Is ho selling eggs up there"
he-asked. How these little chaps
do perplex us with their questions.
Little Mary I^ou has the whooping
cough and didn't want to take her
medicine. "If you don't take it."
said her mother, "you may die."
"Well, mamma, if I do dio I will go
to heaven, where God is, and ho will
give me a pony." T wish the grown
up people were as trusting and innocent
ns the children. "Suffer little
children to come unto rae, for of such '
is the kingdom of heaven'' is one of
the sweetest verses in the scriptures.
The preachers may quarrel about
RT
F<
the confession of faith and infant
salvation, but the mothers don't want
any bettor faith than is in that verso,
and that one other where David said
of his child: "He cannot come to
nie but I shall go to him." There is
another remark that I will make about
mothers. Not one believes that her
dead son is lost, no matter how
wicked he was. The mother expects
to meet him in heaven and if he is
not there how can she be happy?
God knoweth. We do not. All that
a poor mortal can do is to trust Him
and do good.?Bill Arp. in Atlanta

two mile6 to the Baptist

great exertion of hopping ;n far on one
leg sad the small amount of food it
hud eaten caused the vital exhaustion.
At any rate, kindly hands buried it

contracts. This, it is stated, is to he
effective June 1 next. Secretary Flay
has cabled to Ambassador Choate an
inquiry into the reason fo the order of
the British flovernniptit. This action
is taken at the instance of th? department
of Agriculture.
The Chicago concern has asked the
Agricultural Department for any assistance
it can render. It has pointed
out that the action of the British
flovernnient is a severe blow to Amer
- lean beef and cattle exporters and
producers, and means not alone the
loss in (Jovernniont trade, hut it is
feared it xvill serve very materially ;

London.?The Telegraph says that
disaster lias overtaken the Devonport
flotilla of torpedo boat destroyed
since the inauguration of the system
of cruises of three weeks. After th<
latest of these practice voyages eight
boats returned to port, disabled.
The most serious ease was that of
the Seal, the hack of which was broken.
It is feared that she is unfit for j
further service. The seven other vessels
were variously damaged. Itesides
tiiesc there have been fifteen
disabled boats of this class recently
undergoing repairs at Portsmouth.
The trouble Is ascribed to the nil
suitability of torpedo boat destroyers,
which are necessarily of somewhat
tlimsy construction, to knock
about in such weather as causes
larger vessels to seek shelter. Their
plating is only an eighth of an it ? !?
thick.
