WHINED LIKE A DOG,
Bitten by y Cur Mrs. Pope Dies fro
Fear of Hydrophobia.

Bitten by y Cur Mrs. Pope Dies from
Fear of Hydrophobia.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., March ga
most distressing death from hydropho-
pia occurred at nunellen. Mrs. Sarah
X. Pope, mother of Elias R. Pope, re.
GENTLY confirmed by the Senate as post
master of Plainfe1d, was the victim.
She was bitten by a pet dog in Decembe
last and the wound was cauterized at the
the time and afterward healed
Mrs. Pope, who was 70 years old, sud
denly conceived the idea that she would
die Of rabies. She was Frustrated with
nervousness and exhibited all the symp-
toms of hydrophobia, barking and
frothtpg at the mouth, DR.. Paine, of
Plainfeld, and DR.. CASTOR, of Dunellen,
were called in. Their diagnosis encour-
aged the belief that it was a case of
emotional hydrophobia brought on by
terror of the real malady.
The pet dog was killed and the old
lady grew worse. Although enfeebled
by age, she suddenly became possessed
OF almost superhuman strength, and it
required several persons to restrain
her while afflicted with spasms of fear.
Nothing could remove from her mind
the impression that hydrophobia would
result from the bite, and while in one
of her hysterical periods she gave forth
sounds similar to the whining of dog,
and shortly afterward expired. Mrs.
Pope had lived in Dunellen for 60 years,
and was widely known for her piety.

WOMEN AS FARMERS.
They Are as Sl<illful and Prudent Nam
ayers as Their HuSbands.

They Are as Skillful and Prudent Man.
ayers as Their Husbands.
Farmers who find the business profit
able owe much of their success to the
good management of their wives, says
the Indianapolis News. 1t is conceded
by all that a farmer without wife who
Is good home manager can not expect
to make money. AS a general thing
farmers wives are as skillful managers
as their husbands, and share almost
equally with them the burdens and pri-
vations of farm life. A woman who has
been reared in the country finds pleas
ure and health in overseeing the dairy,
the garden and the poultry yard, as
we'll as looking after her household
duties. When farmer has such wife
he can devote his entire time to his gen
eral farm work, and at the end Of the
year tho profits will be we'll nigh
doubled.
There are in Indiana great many
women who farm extensively and are
as skilled in the business as any of the
men. These women have made money
out of the business, and would not give
it up for any other calling. Marion
County has quite a number of women
who have been giving farming much
thought, and are equipped to make the
business a success. Many of these
ladies are members of the county agri-
cultural societies, and their views are
always given as much weight as those
expressed by the male members.
Miss Ida Richardson, who was brought
up on farm south of the city, believes
that successful and enjoyable farming
depends largely upon the home manage
ment by the wife. She would have the
wife be a helpmate to the husband in
all things; not slave to work, but
woman who takes an interest in the af-
fairs of the farm and manages the home
SO as to increase the husbands profits
She thinks the country home is, or should
be, the ideal one.

One block more and the car left the

"Can't see it," she CURLY replied.
