RHODE ISLAND HANDICAPS
Many Limitations Suffered by the
People of the Little State
In Rhode Island when one begins to
tell a story if one is on a train the
story is likely to be finished in another
State When a woman puts out a
clothesline she has to be careful lest
one end of it is tied In another county
When a man says he lives In Rhode
Island he Is often asked where There
are only a few towns wjbere he cpuld
live and If he doesnt live In town he
must live close to one
Sonie of the railroad towns are so
close together that sometimes the loco
motive will be at one station while the
rear car of the train will be at the othe
If the atmosphere is clear and one
can get up a few hundred feet one can
see most of the State In whatever direc
tion one looks
If a baby runs away he Is apt to get
Into another county before he stops if
he is a good runner
If one goes from Providence for in
stance to Boston one gets to Boston
almost before one gets out of Provi
dence
You can stand in your own yard In
any town in the State and throw rocks
at your neighbor in another county and
if you are a good thrower you can hit
a man in Massachusetts or Connecticut
This Is the way It seems to a man
when he makes his first trip into Rhode
Island New York Sun
The Death Rate
While it is quite true that the proportion
of deaths from malaria as an immediate
cause is proportionally small yet physi

begets dangerous nervous prostration
This malady is eradicated and prevented
by Hostetters Stomach Bitters
