The floods at Montreal are described
as the worst which ever visited that
city. The greater part of the business
district is under water, as we'll as the
whole country along the south shore.
In the lower section of the city the water
rose so rapidly that residents were
forced to the upper stories of their
fuel, and, as yet, with no immediate
prospect of relief in the shape of prov
isions. In some streets the water is six
feet deep. Merchants say the losses
will amount to millions of dollars.

Dennis O'Herron of Louisville has
had rather an eventful life. In early
days he was prosperous in Buffalo. He
became drunkard and then a tramp.
He reformed, and went to work in
Louisville. Last October, while handling
ties, big spread-head viper darted
from pile and buried its fangs is his
breast. His companions pulled the
snake off, and filled Dennis with whisk
ey. They kept him drunk for week,
and he never felt any i'll effect from
the bite A few months later a mule
kicked him twice in two seconds, break
ing some ribs and his collarbone. Short
ly after he had recovered from these in
juries, and while asleep in the shade of
a tree, man drove buggy over his
neck. He apparently wasn't hurt, but a
week ago his neck began to pain him,
and now he is in a hospital suffering
from general break up of his badly
used system.

The little village of Marlborough,
four miles from Freehold, Monmouth
county, was invaded on Friday by a
mad dog which caused great conster-
nation The animal made it's appear
ance in the morning. 1t was shot
within an hour. but in the meantime it
had bitten two boys, seven head of
cattle, twenty-seven dogs and two cats.
The dog, large, brown animal, was
first seen dashing down the main road
leading toward the village. 1t turned
into a field and charged upon a lot of
cattle, and succeeded in biting three
or four COWS and bull. Then it dashed
into the road again. Its tongue was
fiecked with foam and hung from its
mouth. Near the school house the dog
pounced upon and killed two cats, and
then dashed on in pursuit of a valuable
beagle hound, which was badly bitten.
The rabid animal endeavored to bite
every animal it saw. A setter was bit
ten badly, as we'll as several valuable
hounds and bird dogs When the mad
dog made its appearance at the rail
road station a man hurled a rock at it j,
laming it by a blow upon the leg, but
the dog ran on. People fled in all di-
rections. AS the animal rushed by the
village store several shots were fired at
it without effect. Edward Kelly, the
son of a farmer, saw the dog approach
ing and attempted to run, but the
animal jumped upon him and fastened
its teeth in the boys arm. Little Eddie
Fallen did not see his danger in time
to escape. He was knocked down by
the dog and received an ugly lacerated
wound in his leg. Finally Frank Null
doom, armed with a shot gun, fred
upon the animal and killed it. The
injured boys were taken to their
homes, where their wounds were eau
terized.

To BE Warm and Well in Winter.

III you want to keep warm said an
old physician, "yop must get lots to eat.
There wouldn't be half the sickness there
is in the winter time u the people would
eat more good substantial food"
what sort, for instance" asked q re-
porter, who was listening.
@Why, plenty Of meat, that's the ar
ticle that keeps your blood warm and
rich, and your flesh vessels fat. A man
who starts out these cold mornings with
. good big breakfast concealed about his
person is not going to suffer from the
weather. Yes, indeed, the colder 1t is,
the more you want to eat. You can't
eat enough to hurt you, in the winter
time; the more you eat the warmer. and
the happier you feel. Cincinnati Times
