Job, and What brings him daily to the
City Hall was a promise made to him
seven Years ago by a politician that if
he would meet him at the City Hall at
twelve O'Clock he would procure him
a job. Since then he has put in an ap-
pearance regularly at the appointed
hour, and his mania seems to exhaust
itself as soon as twelve o,eleek is past.
After that he is sane enough, and
seeks odd jobs shovelihg coal. carrying

EpizoOtic.

THIS word is in common use and
applied generally to a particular dis
ease which has been occasionally prey
alent in various parts of the country,
but the Scientific Farmer truthfully
says that there seems to be amongst
the community an odd but widespread
misapprehension regarding the signifi-
canoe Of this word, epizootic," so
that it is now commonly considered to
describe and define certain disease
amongst horses, while it's real signif-
canoe is entirely lost sight of; hardly
a week passes that we are not asked,to
look at a horse which the owner
thinks must have the "epizootic"
It really denotes the prevalence
of any one disease amongst ami
mails, corresponding to an epidemic
amongst people; thus there may be an
ep1zootic of pleuro-pneumoni aamongst
COWS, of cholera amongst hogs, of
abortion amongst ewes, or Of infuen-
Ia amongst horses, just as there may
be an epidemic of smallpox, measles
or scarlet fever amongst humans.
The disease with which our horses
have so generally been affected at two
different periods within the past four
years is, then, influenza or catarrhal
fever and not "epizoot.' AS. we
are again approaching the fall of
the year at which time this dis
ease has heretofore made its general
and remarkable appearance, a little
about the histories of similar out
breaks in this and other countries and
the general causes of influenza may
not be uninteresting or inopportune.
It has a very early history. In 1899
it appeared in Seville, where sit killed
more than one thousand horses, and
seemed to be incurable." In 1913 it

Romance of a Twelve O'Clock

RESIDENTS of Brooklyn in the yicin-

interested for several years in the reg
ular appearance few minutes before
twelve o'clock every day of man
who waits for the City Hall clock to
strike twelve, and then disappears I'M
til the next day. This practice he has
steadily continued, rain or shine, for
seven years, until he is known by the
sobriquet of the ''Twelve o'clock
man." His name is Thomas Conner,
and various attempts have been made
to connect him with romantic love
stories, blighted affections, disappoint-
ment in marriage, lost property, ETC.,
but they are simply bosn. The man is a

French army in Germany. In
1858 it 8 was prevalent over the
whole Of Europe, affecting both
men and horses; in 1899 Europe and
America suffered from the disease,
and again in 1892, in 1867 it once
more appeared IN both hemispheres,
when it is recorded that both horses
and dogs suffered from it. ''In 1776.

During the present century it has
ragged with varying degrees of viru-
lence; in 1919 80 and 1861 and

In this country, when it broke
out in Toronto, Canada, on Oct. /,
1872. In" nine days it had attacked
nearly all the horses, in thereby. On
Oct. IS, it reached Montreal; on the
14th, Buffalo; 18th, Rochester; 22d,
Boston, New York, Brooklyn and
Jersey City; 9th, Philadelphia 2Sth,
Washington; and again in October,
1875, there was an outbreak which,
however, was much less intense and
widespread than the one of ,T2 just
referred to. Itis singularly prevalent
in some seasons, and although it will
exhibit general characteristics in com
mon, yet the epizootic Of one year will
be marked by some particular symp-
tom or symptoms which will be en-.
tirely wanting in the outbreak of the
following year. Horses of large cities
and crowded towns are more obnoX-
ious to it than those Of the country:
and in the country those are most liza
bic to it that are the most confined.
The attack is attended with great and
early loss of strength, and with early
inflammation of the membrane lining

organs are irritable.-RurGE Nea0

Bitten by a Taranttila.

DAN SHEPPARD, a workman on the
South Pueblo Water-W ork5 ditch, at
the st. Charles, was bitten by taran-
tula on the evening of Friday, Oct. s,
in such a manner as to result almost
fatally. On the night in question Nh.
Sheppard was sleeping in a cabin on
the g Grayback Ranch,'' near where
the Rio Grande Railway crosses the
st. Charles. He had made his bed on
the floor, and had scarcely gone to
sleep when he felt something pinch
his shoulder and then run across his
face. He tried to catch it with his
hand, but it escaped him. Severe
pains beginning to shoot from the
shoulder, MI. Sheppard became con
WINGED that he had been bitten by a
tarantula. He then ran up the rail
way track to Mr.. NJ T. Robinson's,
about three-quarters of mile distant,
in the hope of getting some whisky to
use as an antidote,. but unfortunately
Mr.. Robinson had no whisky on hand.
He then returned down the track and
went to the house of Mr.. Niece, near
where he was bitten. Sheppard is a
stout powerful man, but by this time
he was nearly exhausted The pain
had passed from his shoulder down his
left side, until his whole body was af-
fected, and he was in a state of. most
excruciating agony. Mr.. Niece hur-
ried to Mr.. Towards, half a mile up
the ST. Charles, and informed him of
the occurrence. Mr.. Howard imme-
diately mounted his horse and galloped
to Pueblo, eight miles distant, for a
supply of whisky. In the meantime
Sheppard returned to his cabin, and ia
a short time, from the action of the
poison, he became almost insensible,
and his body, head and limbs became
frightfully swollen. In just two hours
and a half from the time he was bit
ten, Mr.. Howard arrived with the
whisky. The poisoned man was now
in very critical condition, unable to
move, and evidently at the very gates
of death. The whisky was immedi-
ately administered, and he speedily
revived. About a quart was given
him, when, as Sheppard himself says.
he began to feel himself the strongest
man in Colorado, and it was with diff
ficulty that four men could hold him.
1t soon became evident that the whisky
would prove an effectual antidote to
the tarantula poison.
Mr.. Sheppard is now recovering
rapidly, and though he is still weak,
and has lost some thirty pounds in
weight, there is but little doubt that
in week or SO he will be all right
again.-PDebIo (CoZ) CA5eftai7a.

Two small Wars.

There are two small wars in the
world at this time in which Mo-
hammedans are ranged against
Christians - the Turkish war in
Herzegovina and the Egyptian war
in Abyssinia. The insurgent sub
iects of the Grand Turk are par
ticularly anxious that the people of
Europe shall believe them to be en-
gaged in a Christian war and In
all their documents and appeals to
the great pewers they have put their
Christianity in the foreground, and
recited the wrongs which, as adher-
ents OF the Christian faith, they
suffer at the bands of their Moham-
medan masters, It Is this feature
of their insurrection which has
brought them such o powerful cur
rent of sympathy from Russia, and
which gives them hope Of assistance
from other quarters. In the pres
ent Egyptian campaign against
Abyssinia, also, the Mohammedan
troops Of Egypt have found them
selves confronted by the religious
enthusiasm of the Christian Abys-
siaiaps, The priests of the Abys-
sinian Church have during the last
half year been stirring up their
people to resist the M0hamHedan
invasion; and it is the feeling thus
engendered that has brought to-
getber the heavy force of hardy
fighters which has checked the
Egyptian advance, i it has not yet

The Mysterious smoke in FIOrida.


A Monticello correspondent of
the Savannah News says: OF the
wonderful secrets of nature that
Florida can boast of possessing
within her limits there is one in
this county upon which the eye of
mortal has not yet been permitted
to gaze. For more than thirty
years its existence has been tantal-
proclaimed by a cloud of
smoke that has increasingly ascend
ed, frequently changing from a
light to a dark shade, from an i'm
penetrable swamp some twenty-five
miles from Monticello, and in the
direction of the Gulf Coast, from
which point this "pillar of cloud +"
is also visible. Learned gentlemen,
after viewing +" the landscape Ger"
for many years and from various
points, have made frequent and per-
siStent efforts to solve this long
standing and perplexing mystery.
But up to this time nothing has
been accomplished beyond unsuc-
cessful attempts to reach the place,
all of which ended in disaster
within four or five miles of the
spot on which the supposed volcano
is thought to be located.
/ am informed that Judge Bell,
of this place, and others are now
making a fresh attempt to pene-
trate to this mysterious phenome-
non, and discover its true charac-
ter. Judge White, of Quincy, a
man Of large literary culture, has
led several expeditions to that re-
gion, but in every instance failed to
effect an entrance through the
closely interwoyep and impene-
trable underground of the center
of the swamp, where the volcano is
situated. While some of these
attempts have been feeble and in
efficient, Others have been well or
ganized and equipped, and led by
men of experience and fxedness of
purpose. Judge White had an
observatory which he could place
in the tree tops to guide him in the
right course. And yet this Gun
discovered bourne" remains I'M
trodden by the foot of q modern
traveller; at least none have ever
returnrd to report its mystery. One
thing is certain, now that the
0kefenokee swamp has been "dOne
up" for the reading public, that
another twelve months will not pass
without witnessing the successful
unfolding Of this mystery.

very sensibly declines to sign him
self 81. L. Margaret Pattens," on
the ground that his correspondents
might be in some doubt even as to
his sex. He might have added that,
if his signature were 81. L. Marga-
ret Moses" there might be doubts
as to his Christianity as we'll as to
his sex. Such common sense as
this Of, we must not say Mr.. Mar
garet Pattens, does not fall to the
lot Of all his brethren. One of
them, Mr.. Hingeston Randolph,
writes to suggest that they should
take up the ancient title Of "Sir,"
and bids defiance to the expected
wrath Of baronets and knights.
But does not Mr.. Randolph know
how lowly a title it is that the bar
onets and knights have stolen from
him? Sir Hugh Evans is famous;
but why was he "Sir Hugh ?"
Because he was not entitled to the
higher style of "Mr. Evans" "Sir"
was the description of those priests
who could be called nothing better,
those who had not taken degrees
which entitled them to be called
" Master" or doctor" To this
day in the universities "Dominus"
is the style of the Bachelor of Arts,
as distinguished from the higher
"Magister." "Sir" may be very
well for literates, Hittites, Invites
and such like; but for a man who
has right to be called "Mr." or
DR." to stoop to it is a self-deny-
ing ordinance, which could hardly
have been looked for just at the
present moment.

A TaiIOrs' Riot.
Temple Bari

Temple Dar.l
The season of 1905 lat the Hay
market Theater) was marked by the
drollest riot in theatrical annals.
Some years previously Foote had
produced a burlesque piece, the au-
thorship of which is unknown to
this day, entitled The Tailors, Or
Tragedy for Warm Weather. The
satire of the piece appears to have
given great umbrage to the craft
from which it was named. Dow
ton announced its revival for his
benefit, an announcement which
reused the furious indignation of
the knights of the kneedle; they
held a meeting and vowed to oppose
it with might and main; menacing
letters were written to the beneti-
clare informing him that seventeen
thousand tailors would attend to
hiss and hoot the play. One, who
signed himeelf "Death," wrote to
inform one of the proprietors of
the theater that ten thousand more
could be there if necessary. In de-
fance of these doughty threats,
however, the bill was unchanged.
But when the night came it was
discovered that the brotherhood
meant deeds as well as words. In
the gallery they contriyed to secure
every seat except two, and to mo-
nopolize every other part of the
house. Dowton's appearance was
the signal for the uproar to begin;
a pair of shears was thown at him;
he offered twenty pounds reward to
any person who would point out the
offender, but no person would be-
tray him. Finding the audience
would not listen to . word, DoWton
offered to change the piece to qlhs
Village Lawyer, but the riot had
assumed proportions too formida-
BILE to be appeased, and the upFoaI
within was sustained by mobs Of
tailors without. A magistrate was
sent for, special constables called
out. but they were helpless against
the numbers Of the rioters, and the
disturbance continued to increase
until the arrival of a troop of Life
Guards, who seized sixteen and put
the remainder to fight.
