The information just received from

He was somewhat restless during the
early part Of the night, owing to pain
in the glands of the neck. This pain
subsided later and afterwards the

An Old Adare Verified.

A New York mau tells in the Evenilo
Post how he was cured of interfering in
other peoples business. He lives near
police-station, and upon one occasion
saw crowd moving toward the station

Cling between two officers. He knew
nothing about the reason of the arrest.

ing that the prisoner was a middle-aged
decent-loo1ng woman, apparently not
intoxicated, entreating to be let 60 He
followed the crowd to the station-house,
succeeded in getting in, determined to
see ialr play, and took a position in front
OF the sergeants desk, before whom the
woman was placed and ut once charged
by the Office with disorderly conduct.
They found her. in the middle Of the
street, talking loudly and wildly at sew
eral men and boys and offering to fight.
AS she did not obey their directions to
so home they resolved to "take her in. +"
She struggled with them all the way to
the station-house, making night hideous
by her shrieks, etc. The woman all this
while remained calm and quiet, and the
sergeant asked her what she had to say
to the charge. She at once commenced
a TRADE against those who had caused
her arrest. She said that she was qui stly
sitting on the step when several loa fers
came along, and insllted her, one Of
them slapping her in the face that she
" went for them, and skirmish ensued;
that the police came up and instead Of
arresting them arrested her. At this
moment she turned her eyes ON the
good-natured citizen or bystander, who
was there to see that she had fair play,
and exclaimed in a voice of thunder
. There's one the - loafers now"
With that she planked her shut bony
fist with full force right in her champions
lett eye. His championship ended in an
instant. and her case was settled by the
sergeant ordering the officers to dtake
her down." and they had their hands
full. The champions" eye was badly
blacked, and when he told his wife about
the case she reminded him of the we'll.
worn story of the man in Tennessee who
was hung for not minding his own

At Pleasant Hill, KY, | conversed
with an intelligent and pious Shaker,
who held to the doctrine of final perse-
verance III his undying faith in the good
ness OF God, in not suffering total fail
IRE of crops to occur. He was young
man in 1919, the year of the "Great
Drought, when from early summer to
the middle of January there was no rain,
when the air was hot and dry, when the
clouds refused to form and be condensed
into showers, when the dew-point was
not seen, when the stagnant pools of
water in creeks and branches became so
thoroughly carbonized and nIiasmiferous
that the cattle died, and al vegetation
was utterly parched up and apparently
destroyed. During that terrible drought
the cattle became afflicted with the shot
weather itch, and thousands died, liter
ally tearing the skin from their sides and
backs in their frantic efforts to scratch
themselves to relieve the intolerable
itching. Deer and horses died with
black tongue; fowls and birds became
Gstless and stupefied, moped in despair,
lost their plumage, and died in utter
misery. Men, women and children grew
sick with disappointed hopes for the
healing showers. drinking the foul car
BOMBED water and eating dusty food, and
many died of disease not known before
or since. Msddened with the intolera-
BILE itch and frantic with eating the dry
and desiccated grass, deprived Of all nu-
tritive elements by the long drought, the
cattle, sheep and horses roamed the
fields and through the forests, moaning
and bowling, or paving the earth in i'm
potent rage. Added to these horrors,
the fields and forests took fire and
burned for weeks and months. The air
was filled with smoke and ashes, produc-
ing another horror in the shape of some
form of ophthalmia that WAS almost in.
tolerable.
Fresh vegetables were soon exhausted,
the cattle were too diseased to be used
for food, water was scarce and unfit to
drink, fires were raging, ard the whole
population afflicted with disease in some
shape. This state Of things lasted until
the middle of January, when the blessed
rain and the really beautiful snow came
and saved the country from utter ami
hilation. Cor. Louisville COurier-.IOur-
