Some time ago, after diet of the mice
the rooster grew sick. He lost his appe-
ute and seemed about to give up the ghost
and the doctor was greatly worried because
OF this fact. After treating the fowl for a
couple of days he chloroformed him and
dissected his craw. To his establishment
he found three mice in this portion Of the
BIRDS anatomy, one of them still alive.
The mouse had gotten its tail into the small
entrail leading to the birds gizzard. and
consequently had put a stop to the diges-
tlon OF the rooster. The mouse must have
realized this and that 1t was his sole
chance of life. for when the doctor attempt

awful squeaking. and feebly objected to
the process. To make the matter more in

Local soap people, when asked to define
and tell about soap slush. were nonplussed.
They gave it up. Another party said that
not long ago he received curious product

plaintiff was awarded several thousand

the flooding of the cellars was due to de-
