Antiquity OF the Plague.

The plague is one of the oldest things
under the sun. According to Petavius it
ravaged the whole known world in 767 B.
O. In 534 B. @. it made terrible havoc in
Carthage, and the people, deploring the
anger of the gods, offered up their chill.
dren as sacrifices. Thucydides has left
graphic description of the plague
which ragged in Athens in 43O B. O.,
and which extended over Egypt and
Ethiopia. In the eighteenth year of
the Christian era Rome was depopu-
lated at the rate of 10, 900 daily. Three
centuries and a half later the plague
appeared in Britain, where the living
were not able to bury the dead. There
is little reason to doubt the statement
that 200 persons perished daily in Lon
don during an epidemic which ragged in
1348, and which prevailed throughout
Europe. In 1478 more persons perished
in England of pestilence than had died
in fifteen years of continued war. At
various periods of it's history London
has suffered terribly from plague.
More than 10000 persons perished in
1908 and more than 35, 600 in 1925.
But it was not until 1865 that the city
learned what scourge the plague might
become. A moderate estimate says
that 68, 506 persons persisted, while
other authorities state the number at
100, 600. Since that period England
has been tolerably free from the plague
but it has carried off so, persons il
Persia, 800, 900 in Egypt, and 60, 600 a
Marseilles at one visitation.

FOund at Last.

As Mississippi river steamboat came
to river landing, tall, ungainly,
gawkish looking fellow leaning against a
woodpile attracted the attention of the
passengers, one of whom, talkative
and conspicuous persen, remarked to
his friends that he WAS going to have
some fun out OF that fellow. So he
jumped ashore when the boat landed,
and with a great show of fierceness ap-
preached the fellow. Drawing savage
looking bowie knifs he said
$50, old fellow, I've found you at
last. You're the man that stole dog
of mine and I've sworn to get square
with you. I've been looking for you for
a year."
The gawky lazily opened his eyes in
wondering amazement at first as though
he didn't understand it. Then catching
sight of the laughing passengers look
ing on from the deck he took in the situ-
alton. By the time "Smarty" had
finished telling him how long he had
been looking for him, he had taken out
OF his pocket fist like a sledge ham
mer on the end of the arm of windmill.
He swung it once and knocked the man
who had been looking for him plump
into the river. Then resuming his place
against the woodpile he raised his eyel
to the deck and with a very lazy draw
inquired
"Is there anybody else on this boa
looking for mep"

The Story of a COw.Bell.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette sends the following story of
law case from Floyd county, Ind:
" "Mayfield and Featheringill were we'll
to-do farmers. One of Mayfield's COWS
dropped bell from her neck, in the
woods, that cost fifty cents, and was half
worn, and was supposed to be worth
twenty-five cents when lost. One of
Featheringills boys, in passing through
the woods one day, found a cow-bell.
Mayfield claimed that it was his bell,
and demanded it. Featheringill refused
to give it up. Mayfeld then replevined
it, and then commenced lawsuit that
absorbed the farms and personal estate
of the contestants. Not being able to
pay lawyers fees any longer, the lawyers
refused to serve in the case, and the lit.
igants Were compelled to compromise,
which they did by each agreeing to pay
his own costs. which amounted to over
81 800 side or an aggregate OF over
$3, 900.
