As he swung It is chariot from Broadway into Cortlamlt street he raised his voice. Then the trouble began. When the notes of “Old Black Joe” rang out high and clear above the din of traffic, expressions of blank amaze ment overspread the faces of the hur rying pedestrians who thronged the sidewalks.

'Probably it passed under the description of "inflammation of the bowels” or “peritonitis.” ’ It is true that less than a generation ago numberless people In the course of summer travel were stricken with so called inflammation of the bowels or peritonitis and died. “Now we hear of no oue so reported, but it is sahl.
