An Explanation from Ashland. AHiir.ANU, Oro Jan, 11, 1(101, Kditoh Mhiji'oiii) Maim I foul It my duly to reply to an item In tho Kuiclo 1'olnt KiikIoIh, which appoarod in the Jan. -Hli issue nt Tiik Mail, mid therefore, I wish to present u few (iiota for the enlightenment of tho lCii((le 1'olnt corroHiionilnnt, In the II rut plucu, Prof, Vinlri(f did not tako tho Normal footbull toain to KiiKlo Point, Tho Kama was arranged between the manager and ouptaln of tho ICagle Point team nnd myself. After nil tho arrnngumonta worn made and we wero ready to jro, Prof. Vlning was invited to co along aa referee nnd ho went as tho guoat of the team. The team went undor ehnrgo of the captain, who wna rnsponslblo to the faculty for their conduct anil behavior. Second, tho faculty did not know that any of tho ball players had been exposed to tho uioasloa and they can In no wise ho censured. Thoro was at that tlmo only one cano of tho measles In Ashland nnd it was not known even by tho player who took slok at Kagln Point, that ho had boon exponeil. Had wo known that ho was exposed to tho measles wo would not liavo gone to Knglo Point, for thorn wore aovornl of our own bnya who took tbo mcasloa from tho samo oxposuro. Wo wero not so anxious to spread the measles as to knowingly take thorn to any placo. Aa for arranging for the ICnglo Point boys to come to Ashland Now Ycnrs dny haven't the Eagle Point boys boon challenging tho Ash land boys for a game all wlntor? In regard to the builncBs men alluded to, I think they nro nil too honorable to censure tbo fnculty of tills school when thoy know tho facta of tbo enso and I hope that this explanation will prove at isfnetory to them. Tho captain of the team Is responsible for the game, but no one Is responsible for tho measles going to Kaglo Point. Hoping this will prove a satisfactory explanation to ail people who nro capablo of taking nn honest view of tbo case, I am Very truly yours, ItoiiKitT H. Jonas, Capt. Normal Football Team. What' !

The amount sunk In ex ploiting two articles before returns come In may vary sioo.ooo. in my opinion, the name baa a good deal to do with getting a demand started.

I bare a house In mind that spent a good alzed fortune trying to popularize a tablet preparation witn a queer Indian title that no two people pronounced In exactly tbe same way.

Dr. Wittenberg, writing en the sub ject of leprosy In China, states that the pure nerve form Is tbe least common. In such cases, as Is well known, the pa tients may go on for years. As to tbe mixed form. It Is fairly common, but It Is a difficult matter to .estimate the number ot lepers In any given district The sufferers lead tbe common life so long as tbey remain free from destruc tive lesions. When these occur to any marked degree, tbo leper Is either seg regated In a but or ho Is allowed to wander about tbe country, sustaining life by begging. Dr. Wittenberg ro pords eases of direct contagion from mother-in-law to daughter-in-law. Klnsr Mnmbart'a Pine Trees.

The last scarlet ar of tbe gorgeous autumn snneet was fading out behind tbe tall poplars 'along Turkey creek when Barstow Brown's creaking old farrm wagon turned the comer of tbe road which led to bis lonely and 111 kept borne. There's tbe light a-burnln already In Mis'. Blvlry Rlcbards' window," he commented. "It does git dark awful early nights now. Seems like hern's the cleanest kep an the cbeerfnlest amp In tbe bnll township." And Indeed It did seem to Illuminate with Its friendly radiance the little one story house by tbe roadside. It looked tike a beacon a star. It made Farmer Brown think In admiring but unformu lated fashion of a steadfast love pure. unwavering, brilliant. It .attracted him. It drew him tbe worn and hnrassed body and soul of him. Uncon sciously he tightened the reins. But It was not until tbe plodding horses stood still In response that he won dered 'Whether he might venture In and what excuse be could give for his visit. Suddenly he lifted bis bead and sniffed once, twice. Then be hurried ly twisted tbe reins around the whip stock and clambered down from the high seat Swiftly, soundlessly, ex cuse and encouragement bad come to blm In tbe guise of an odor at that. "Chill sauce! If she ain't a-makln chill sauce!" He was hurrying up the short path to the front door, at which he knocked. "I'll tell her I wnnt the re ceipt for 8usle Rellly to make some by. That's the ticket Oh, howdy. Mis' Richards! I was gol'n home from mill an the nicest, smell come, a-doatln down the road! Seemed s If I was back In mother's again, an she was puttln tip chill sauce." He sighed and moistened his lips at the recollection. "So I thought I'd come In an find bow you make It Our ripe tomatoes ain't all gone yet Maybe Susie Rellly could make a quart or bo!" Forty placldand benignant summers had passed over the brown head of Elvira Rlobnrds, but where was tbe girl along Turkey creek who carried herself with more grace and dignity, and what mntron could boast such a fresh complexion and bright eyes as shot "To be surel" she cried heartily. "You come right In, Mr. Brown." She drew forward the best rocking chair, with tbe Battc'nbcrg tidies on the en treating red plush arms. " 'Tlsii't 'much 1 need make, llvln atone, ns I do, but a good storeroom Is a tine thlng to fall back on. You'd need a lot In your house, I'm thlnklu. I'll give you the receipt with pleasure, nn a Jnr to, take home for Susie to tnste by. now does she get on, Mr. Brown?" Barstow Brown looked around the blight little room, at the shining glass lamp witli the red flannel wick, which stood behind tbo row of freshly' petted geranium slips In tho recessed wludow, then buck nt the plump, whlto. aproned figure opposite. "Not too well, Mis' Richards She's kind ot shiftless. It comes nnturnl to sonic folks to be shiftless. Seems like tho work alius keeps a bit ahead of her. Seems like she can no more catch up with It "than than she could with a cottontail. Hut she menus well. Most shiftless folks alius means well. I got. to bo niovtn." Io rose reluctantly.

He was agbnst at his own temerity, but the appetizing smell of the chill sauce drew him to I lie kitchen as the white brilliance of the lump had drawn hint to the parlor. "My!" lie breathed nnd stopped short. "This bents" He wns looking around the gayest, coziest, most Im maculate little kitchen he had ever be held. From the hlnck mirror of a stove, with Its itolilen grin through the opened draft to the shining plntes on the dresser, tbe row of crimson filled glass Jars on the table, the dishpan tbat glittered like silver and the cat asleep on tbe braided mat, nil things bespoke Industry, energy, comfort.

Those-i and tbe weak tears that came into hlai eyes! She busied herself writing oati the recipe and talking. "It ain't any too easy, I guess, wlthl only Susie. She never was a hand to look after children, nn there's three to yonr place. I e.-:pect It ain't beeai like home since since CyriUa went away." Barstow Brown was silent "t had not been a bappy home before CyriUa died. But he eonld not tell Miss Rich ards that: No. nor any one else. Only be had meant had honorably meant to ask Elvira to marry him before the pretty, painted, flippant little dry girl bad come down to tbe country town and taken bis fickle heart captive. "Here's the receipt, an here's ths jar.
