In a factional fight Col. Roosevelt
would probably bo the gainer In district

thut there may bo a compromise Instead
of a lonli'st, asldu from the Colonel's

ator has n personal liking for Mr.
Iioosevelt, Representative Gardner Is tits
son-lli-law. and Senator I-odne, llko Gov.
McCall, wants to succeed himself In the
oftlce ho now holds. Accordingly, up to
the point of achieving their own desires
to be reelected, the Senator and Gov
ernor may bo ready und willing to swing
over to tho ex-President at tno con
vention. Tlm dale of the primary election of
delegates is April 25. and It would not
surprise prophets closo to the Colonel to
seo four Republican delegates chosen
on that date from Massachusetts who
havo either avowed or latent predilections
for the Colonel. Ilefore Massachusetts
decides what delegates shall go to the

Dousa riiKriT, March 17. The corre
spondent of Thij Sun disclaims being a,
wltne to the Incidents In this story,
putting tho responsibility for it on John

wrlter, a rat and what happens when a

MeKeon Is liookke-ir, typewriter and

quently quits his office to puddle tires
and stir up automobile trade. Lately ho
has found on his return that some one
had been using his tpe writer, for a

across the pacr left In the roller.
MeKeon was worried bceaueo the of
fice door was locked, and lie thought
the place might bo haunted. So he
started to keep watcli through a win
dow, und to-day so he swears ho saw
a big gray rat tapping at tlm typewriter.
MeKeon does not say whether or not
tho rat used the; touch system, or
whether hn scratched his whiskers when
at loss for a word. Hut he does stair,
that ho dashed Into the office, to capture
the prodigy, only to tlnd that tho rat
had erased himself
MeKeon, however, displays n sheet
bearing what ho calls "ratesr," and
promises to let u trap for the animal.

"It is a proof of the degradation the

Hostov, March "7. Dr. F II. Mallory.
pathologist of the lioston City Hospital,
.and his assistant. Dr. H. M. Medlar,
have dlscovored the baccllus that causes

not be very difficult to work out a toxin
or vaccine for Us prevention und cure.
This Important discovery Is lacontrul'.y
described by Dr. Mallory and Dr. Med
lar lu a thoustnd word article In tie
current Issue of the Journal a Medical'
Kejeeerch. entitled "The Utlology of
(Scarlet l'eve r."
It la largely owing to the short life,
of the actual germ that It has evaded
dltcovery so lung. They art found soon
after thn skin eruption appear and usu
ally tlnd lodgment tirrt In the torsslls or
at the root of tbo tongue. The germ is
lens virulent than tbo diphtheria b'tcll-I'i.-,
although it Infects pructlnilly the
eair.e localities, I 'r Mollory s.evu It I:
a "gram-positive bacilli,"
He tlrst discovered It in the crjVtS
of the tonsils of a child the second day
following the uppenrar.ee of tho skin
eruption. Ho found later that the germs
were fairly numerous all through the
exudation and iibuudant In the tree pux
pre-scnt In tho lumiiia of the crypts.
"A vaccine for the ellsease would be
tho more important," say Dr. Mallory.
"so as lo ret.der nurses Immune to tbo
disease. Scarlet fever Is not oonveyesl,
as many suppose, from tne scaling of
the patient When tint takes pi n-ca all
th- germs In tl.e body are dead.
"Then- ur no germs In tlie dust fr.iui
the body. Tin. elanger is when the Mr',
exudations take place tn the mouth. Then
the ch.Id is apt to get tin germs lu It
lingers wid the iiurs. If nut e-areful, may
get them from the hands or lips of otoi
patient and Inadvertcntls touch another
patient In the tame ward, and so on."
It was said by a New York plivskian
