All Orer a Poster.

Is it possible to be driven Insane by a poster? This is a question which is being much debated at present in Des Moines, la. Miss Bertha Atkinson of that city believes that she will go mad if a poster opposite her window is not removed. So real, so vital, so appalling has become her horror of the painted placard that her friends have come to share in the apprehension. Accordingly a protest has been made to the municipal authorities, and

the poster may be removed. Meanwhile Des Moines is agitated by intense feeling. The contagion spreads dally. No epidemic of disease, the authorities say, ever spread so rapidly. There are eight submarine cables of over 2,000 miles in length.

THE OBJECTIONABLE POSTER.
