FIVE CASES or SMALLPOX.
An Alarming Disclosure Made by a
Physician at Nnsiviii..

PhysiciHn at Nhsiviti".
NASHVILLE, Jan. 10.--There was con-
sidera bic excitement caused here by
the fact becoming generally known
that smallpox had broken out in north
west Nashville, five cases being discov-
cred in two adjoining houses and i'll a
house near by in the same neighbor-
hood. all of which had the same source
presumably and which are said to be
traceabe to a negro man who came
from Chicago some weeks ago and who
was visiting in all the houses affected.
The physician who called to attend
them Saturday was at first suspicious
and Monday found two well developed
cases in the family of Jordan Howell.
He pronounced it smallpox and then
learned that there were three more SINH
lar cases III the other families.
The families were reported to the
health authorities and steps taken to
quarantine and isolate them AS far az
posi- bic. 1t is known, however, that
there have been large number of VS.
itors at the affected houses and it is not
known to what extent the pest may
spread before it Is opped.

orphan did not in the least excite the
spaniels sympathy-that is, at first. A
COX was procured for the newcomer
and its quarters comfortably fixed up.
DR. Lions little boy told his father that
Beauty was disposed to be unfriendly
toward "ChicLy."
THAT is because Beauty has not
been introduced, said the child's
father.
Forthwith the doctor had the chick
brought out, and Beauty came nosing
around as if to find out how good
'chicky" might be on the half shell.
The doctor gave the dog gentle slap,
and after awhile Beauty came to re-
gard the feathered newcomer as one of
the family. BY and by the dog would
lie down at the door or the chickens
box and watch for its coming and at
tempt TO play gently with it.
The chick at first did not like these
attentions, but soon seemed to be re-
sponsive. At last it was quite evident
that Beauty had grown 10 be very fond
of the bird. She would lick II all over,
just as if it were a pup and fondle it
as if it were one of its own kind.
The chicken was missed one night. It
was found at last in the cellar with
Beauty. The dog was coiled, and there
was the chicken euddling close up to
its warm body and quite contented
The spaniel had taken it in its mouth
and carried it downstairs
IL was quite a common thing for
Beauty to catch up the chicken in her
mouth and carry it off to corner. The
chicken had great objection to this
commemorative business. 1t could
stand anything but that, even the lick
ing. It's attire and its temper used to
get very much rufiled But Beauty
would stand no nonsense. She in her
superior wisdom knew what was best
for the young and inexperienced thing
committed to her care.
Beauty was extremely Solicitous for
its welfare. She was very jealous of
any outside interference and fearful
of what strangers might do. When
! the butcher, the groceryman or other
| tradesmen came into the basement
the spaniel would bark furiously and
make a rush for the chicken. over
/ which il stood guard until the sus-
/ pected danger had passed.
( ANY one of the family might fondle
i the chicken, of course, but no stranger
dared do it or Beauty would want e
/ know the reason why. IL the chicken
were too near the door when the bell
rang Beauty would grasp the bird N
its mouth and carry it off TO place OF
safety
But, alasl Notwithstanding all the
motherly care of Beauty and the fact
that there was a doctor in the house
the chicken died the other day Beauty
was grief-stricl1en and refused to bt

She was perfectly self-possessed.

of thousands of miles, on trains, en-
gines. hand-cars; in sulkies, buck
boards, farm wagons and clumsy cur
re0s; on mules, on horses. on bnrros,

of half-known Indians with living rat
tlesnakes in their hands and mouths;
the crucifxion of fanatic, and the in
conceivable self-tortures Of his fagel-
LIANT brethren; witches and bewitched;
and a thousand other remarkable
sights.
After all this, the smallest and pref
test object on which we ever focused
our joint attention came to us only the
other day.
We had been revealing for the twelfth

Acoma, the strangest little city in the
never wearies of picture-making. Com

one of the rare Gases of New Mexico,
trying to talk QUERIES to a deep-eyed
two-year-old Laguna maiden.
In the midst of our chatter there
came curious buzzing, and my little
Indian friend began to clap her hands
at something which was whirring along
the rigas of the roof.
1t was a humming bird-the tiny chup-
crosa, which my aboriginal neighbors
declare has been nearer than any other
creature to the sun. In the mythical

race because the sly chuparosa had all

than he!
This little visitor. who had come by
the open door into the light and laugh
ter so late at night, was female of the
tiniest species of humming bird, not
nearly so large as the two first joints
of my finger. Her exquisite brown
plumage was almost as small as butter
