Knowing Burros.

Numerous stories OF the tricks of
burr0s are related. The owner of one
burro train usually turned the animals
loose on saturday night to shift for
themselves over sunday. in the herd
were two grizzledpatriarchs, designated
as "Grandpa Burro" and Grandma Bur
re-" The former was a shrewd old fel
low and invariably turned up missing
on Monday morning, while the rest of
the herd were always on hand. Ere
quently "Grandpa" would be found hid
den a mile or more from camp behind
some big rock or a dense clump of
bushes. He was lOath to 60 to work,
and knew as well as a human being
what would be expected of him on
Monday morning.
Grandma BurrO" objected strenuous
ly to the tight buckling of straps around
her body, in fastening on the packs, and
had trick of sucking in her breath and
swelling her girth while the strap was
being drawn. As soon as this was ac-
complished she would contract her body
to its normal size, leaving the strap
comfortably loose. Grandma" how
ever, was faithful servant, and toiled
on uncomplainingly but Grandpa"
knew thing or two about the duties
belonging to him. His owner averred
that the grizzled veteran would carry
three hundred and fifty pounds, but
that if three hundred and fifty-one
pounds were imposed he would imme-
diately lie down.-From "IIow a Burro
discovered Creede," in Demorest's Mag

Red Headed.

Our contemporary, two flights of stairs
nearer the ethereal blue dome of heaven
than the INDEPENDENT, crushed us.
When vein an article last week referred
to the kick entered by the Republican,
regarding the telephone exchange, he
comes back at us by holding up to the
gaze of an intelligent but prejudiced
public, the color of our hair, which is
auburn" That surely settles it. We
have for years struggled to gain admit
tance to society that savOrs Of the 400
but owing to this fact we have been left
out in the cold, cruel world to warm our
benummed fingers by the electric sparks
that this fiery color has a tendency to
emit. But now, just as we began to be
able to see our way clearly and was en-
abled to look the fairer sex in the face
without having our face suffused with
bushes, here comes this man Brooke
and tells the people we are ''red headed" !"
OF course we could retalliate and call
the attention of our readers to his "face," :"
for instance. But there is no doubt
they have been afflicted whit that
a great deal more than we have.
This awful accusation has unnerved us,
and we will be compelled to wait until
next week before answering this sup
posed irrefutable evidence regarding
this telephone business. But we will
be there.

The Experience Social,

Last Friday evening, one of those So
cial gatherings took place at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. ID. T. Snyder, on
South Michigan street, the memory of
which, remains bright epoch in the
journey of life. The real feature of
this event, was 'an Experience Social, "
at which time those depOsiting $100,
were expected to give a written state
ment regarding the mode used in earn
ing the dollar.
BY five o'clock in the afternoon scores
of our people were seen vending their
way to the south side, where it had been
designated sumptOus feast was to be
given at the above named residence.
And as the shades of evening gathered,
the brilliantly Illuminated mansion, and
merry laughter gave evidence that the
feast still continued.
y great many experiences were read
by the secretary, Miss Maggie Steckman,
and caused not little mirth. We were
unable to learn who the fortunate per
sons were who drew the prizes. But
suffice it to say, that the Altar Guild, to
whom the participants owed the enjoy
able time had, cleared in the neighbor-
hood of 500.

Members of a Racine Family
Taken Suddenly I'll a
Second Time.
THE DEADLY COPPER KETTLE.
The Timely Arrival of a Physician
Saved Their Lives-Other
State Specials.

Racine, Wis, Dec. 2G.-The family Of
Bernard Salbreiter of this city is having
more than their share Of narrow escapes
from death by poison. Last week the en-
tire family of seven members were made
deathly sick by eating pork that contained
arsenical matter, the result of the hogs
eating potato leaves that had been sprin-
kled with paris green. After two days
of hard work the attending physician sue
ceeded in saving the lives Of the victims,
although some of them were in a precari-
Ous condition. Yesterday the members of
the family were well enough to be around,
and celebrated their recovery by partaking
of a Christmas feast in an elegant large
headcheese, which formed the piece de
resistance. The meal was thoroughly en-
joyed by all. A few hours later, how
ever, two of the children were taken sud
denly i'll. DR.. Hoy was sent for and when
he arrived at the house he found the
other members of the family writing in
terribly agony. He took in the situation
at a glance and administered antidotes
that brought them out of danger all right.
Some of them are yet in a critical condi-
ton, but the doctor expects them to recOv-
er. 1t appears that the headcheese was
boiled in a copper kettle, and in that man
ner verdgris got into the meat. Mr.. Sal
breiter has not yet decided what his New
Years dish will be, but he will probably
avoid the hogmeat and the copper kettle.

OPPOSE A REORGANIZATION.
Wisconsin Military Men Do Not Favor
Changes in the Militia.


Changes in the Militia.
Madison, Wis, Dec. 2S.-The move
for the reorganization of the state militia
into brigade and the consequent reduc
ton of the number of companies from
forty to thirty-siX is not favOrably re-
ceiyed by militiamen in this section of
the state; in fact a determined opposi-
ton is already being manifested which
promises to take definite and organized
shape by the time the proposed bill for
such reorganization comes before the
Legislature. The opposition will not or
iginate with any of the companies which
are likely to be dropped, but will come
primarily from officers and members of
the company which has for four consecu-
tive years stood at the head in inspection
and drill-Co. [ of this city.
The State Journal today prints several
interviews with officers and privates for
this opposition. Summed up, they are:
THAT there is no necessity or good rea-
son for the change; that it would be an
injustice to the companies which would
be dropped, as some of them, while their
inspection standing is low, nevertheless
take an active interest in military mat
tiers, and not only they but their towns
people would be exceedingly sore if they
were dropped; that it would be especially
hard on the First regiment, which would
probably lose two of its companies"
Another reason for the opposition
L
itate to voice, is a feeling that a dominant
purpose of the move for reorganization
is to create a place for Gen. Otto Falk
who it is generally understood is to be
brigade commander if the plan succeeds,
and for other Milwaukee men, virtually
placing control of the state militia in the
hands Of Cream city militiamen and leav-
ing outsiders a small show for promo
tons; for the plan of the reorganizers is
also said to include Col. II. NJ. Seaman
of Milwaukee as surgeon general; J. W.
Brown of Milwaukee as surgeon of the
First regiment; 81. e. Bradley Of Milwau-
kee as adjutant under Col. Seaman. and
A B. Gambler for another position. Mil
waukee already has Capt King as adju-
tant-general, Maj. o. B. Zweitusch as
quartermaster-general and Col. A E.
Caldwell at the head of the First regi-
ment, though living in the territory of
the Fourth, and the outside militiamen
feel as if her militia1nen ought to be sat
isfed. A petition will doubtless soon be
circulated among the militiamen of the
state opposing the proposed reorganiza-
ton

M ILWAUKEE FISH HATCHERY
Claim that there VIII be Big Saving

Specials.

Green Bay, Wis, Dec. 2S.-The State
Fishermen's association met here this aft
ernocn in annual session. Important mat
tiers came up for discussion, among them
the removal of the state fish hatchery
from Milwaukee to Green Bay. Concern
ing this and other matters President Fred
Hurlbut today said:
The spawn is all procured within few
miles of this city, transferred to milwaukee,
and the fry sent back here. The tranSpor
tation could be saved by having hatchery
here. Several hundred dollars rent is also
an item of Importance. MeSSrS. NevlnS ana
Peabody of the state fish commission are
here to discuss the matter.
Much Importance is also attached to the
experiment made two years ago or STOCKING

The state authorities have ascertained that
it would be great thing for Green Bay II

NOTED STALLION DEAD.
jackson I. Case of Racine Loses One
of His Most Valuable
Animals.

Racine. Wis, Dec. 2S.-Phallas, the fa,
nous Wisconsin trotting sire, is dead.
He was taken sick with collie at Hickory
Grove farm yesterday afternoon and died
about 10 O'Clock last night. 1t is pre-
sumed that he became cast in the stall and
burst blood vessel.
Phallas was owned by Mayor Jackson
/. Case of this city and was considered
one of the most valuable stations in the
Northwest He was foaled in 1877 and
was bred by Maj. III. G. Mcdowell of
Lexington, Ky. He was handsome ami
NAL, standing 1914 hands high and weigh
ing 1175 pounds. His color was seal
brown. He went through numerous hard
campaigns and next to Jay-Eye-See was
the greatest favorite in Mr.. Cases string
of trotters. Phallas won his first race
at Cleveland, o., when he was 6 years
of age, and made record at that time
of 2:1SA. In 1884 he was campaigned
along with Jay-Eye-See and at Chicago
he secured a record of 2:13A. At that
time it was considered a remarkable
mark for a stallion, and Mr.. Case re-
ceived several liberal offers from promi-
nent horsemen for the animal. He de-
clined to sell, however, and retained him
at Hickory Grove farm.
Phallas had many hard-fOught race
to his credit and he was noted for his
gameness. The sons and daughters of
the great stallion have all displayed the
same quality in races, and for that rea-
son many events have been won which
would otherwise have gone to speedier
animals. The career of Jennie Il last
season demonstrated that Phallas stock
was of the best. The little mare had a
severe test during the season, and when
called upon to respond in a race she never
once failed her driver. /. Case. Jen-
ME X is a daughter of the deceased
Phallas, and had a mark last season Of
2:15, made at Chicago during the Breed
ers meeting. She also made record of
PIT on the Milwaukee state fair track
the year previous.
Mr. Case retired Phallas to the stud
about six years ago. Phallas is the sire
of over thirty horses with records bet
ter than 2:3O. He was to have been of
fered for sale with all of Mr.. Cases blood
ed stock at Berry's horse sale in Chica go
on January IS and February 4. When in
his prime Phallas was valued at $4,000

Foremost among the best known lawyers
and farmers of North Carolina stands Col.
Isaac A. Sugg, of Greenville. Mr.. Sugg has
resided in Greenville 20 years. While
nearly everyone in Pitt Co. knows Mr.. SIS
history, perhaps all do not know of his re-
turn to business again after an illness of Is
years. No man has gone through more than
he, and lived. It was case of the entire
breaking down of the nervous system, at
tended by excruciating, agonizing, unendur-
able pain. Opiates and stimulants only
quoted temporarily, and all treatments
failed him. Only his love of family and
friends prevented suicide. He told a re-
porter the following interesting story:
81 kept at my work as long as | could,
but nature gave way at last and succumbed
TO the inevitable. My entire nervous SyS-
tenn had been shattered by the stimulants
and OpiateS had taken, my blood had actu-
ally turned to water, my weight had drop
ped from lib pounds to 1913, and it seemed to
everybody that the end was in sight. Why

made my will, settled my business and
waited for the last strand of life to snap.
sit was at this time that q somewhat SINH
lar case as my own was brought to my
notice. This man had suffered very much
as [ had, his life had been despaired of as
mine had, and yet he had been cured.
Think what that little word meant to me
CURED. The report stated that the work
had been accomplished by a medicine
known as DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. l investigated the report thorough
ly and found that it was true in detail. Then
| procured some of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and began taking them and began
to get better. l began to sleep like health
full child, sound, calm, and peaceful. My
appetite came back, and my nerves were
sOOthed and restored to their normal cOndi-
ton and | felt like new man. But the
greatest blessing was the mental improve
ment. I began to read and digest, to formu-
late new plans, to take interest in my law
practice, which began to come back to me
as soon as my clients realized that | was
again myself. After lapse of ten years
ride horseback every day without fatigue.
"That DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved my
life is beyond doubt, and l am spreading
their praise far and wide"

stantiated the above facts of Col. Sugg's case,
