Sunday morning of pneumonia super
induced by an attack of the grip. The
deceased was 30 years of age and is sur
yived by husband and two children,

Mrs. Vickrey's home was in Los
Angeles, CAL, from whence she came
east about six months ago to visit her
parents. When the Christmas holidays

N. j., and Mr.. and Mrs L. j. Rawlins
from Lewes, but when they arrived they
found Mr.. and Mrs. Cannon, Mrs. Wick
rey and both children, Marguerite and
Richard, all suffering with the grip. In
few days Mr.. Vickrey was slightly at
tackled with the same disease, and in
stead of joyous Christmas.tide the
home seemed regular hospital.
All seemed to rid themselves in a
short while of the disease except Mrs.
Cannon and Mrs. Vickrey, the grip in
each case developing into pneumonia
and both terminated fatally, Mrs. Cam
non dying early Thursday morning,
while Mrs. Vickrey followed her mother
yesterday morning. Mrs. Cannon's flu
neral was conducted with all the quiet
ness possible Friday afternoon, lest her
daughter should become aware of the
sad occurrence, and the grief in her
weak condition cause her to sink rapidly.
Mrs. Nickrey was noted vocalist,
with a beautiful soprano voice, and
always took important parts in church
singing, amateur home cantatas and in
any other way where her service was
desired.

BE Careful with 4 Colt.

It is singular fact that the more the
horse is hurt by tho pressure OF any part
of bis tackling the greater will be his
resistance to it. 4 horse with sore
mouth will pull harder on the bit. Ii a
young horse is tied with broad leather
strap around his neck, So that when he
pulls violently back it viii restrain hin
effactually without hurting him, he vii
not pull second time but if he is tied
with :. chain that cuts into his rcck he
will generally pull at it again, ard not
infrequently until he kills himself. A
horse will stand in stall and batter his
legs all to pieces with kicking ard the
more it hurts the more he will kick.
II horse takes to kicking in the
shafts and cuts his legs at each kick
with the spiinters or iron of the carria ge
he will kick on as long as there is d
splinter. He will not, however, kick
long with bundle of straw swinging
behind him. II bride is taken of a
young horse quietly, SO that the BIZ
comes ont of his mouth easily, it will
not be long before he will assist in tax
ing it off; but if he is hurt by the opera
tioa he will throw his head to one side
or jerk back every time the bride il
removed. There should not be the
slightest hitch about taking the bit fro m
the mouth of colt. By the process
many a colt has been ruined.
