They Are Ready to Attack Anything
and to Hold Out to the Last Ditch

ana TO HGld Ont to the Last Ditch.
The stickleback is the most COM
tative fish. The raison d'etre for
stickleback encounter" SAYS the writer
sis generally, l believe, that which
actuates men to fight over women
When [ have watched them myself, I
have not been able to learn whether
there has been a lady fiddler present
or not, Or, if so, which one she was.
But whatever the motive may have
been, | have seen them fight with as
much desperation as would have been
necessary if 40 females had been the
point of issue. Not only will they fight
one another, but they will even 60 out
of their way to attack anything which
may appear to them offensive; and if
walking stick be put into the water
hear fight the two comhatants will
almost surely suspend personal ami
nosities for awhile and make for the
stick, butting it with their horny noses
and trying to saw it in two by swim
ming on their sides with their stickles
rubbing against the wood. Having con-
| Quered the stick, the two turn against
| each otheT again.
The victor sticllleback assumes a
| radiant, translucent green, his sides
and gils glow with scarlet and gold
while his white under parts simmer
like silver; it is then at its finest. In
an aquarium, however, the sticklebacL,
| Losses his combativeness and becomes
faded creature, though at first it
! fights the glass case if alone, and an
other if it has companions. till the mas
| terry is obtained, when victor and con-
| quered swim to the corners and die
or pine away.
THE sticllleback shoots at it's op-
| ponent, strikes, and is away as quick
| ~ as flash. Then back it comes again.
Their spines get covered with blood
from the others body, the spines being
used like a saw whenever one fighter
gets under the other Although the
stickleback fights at all seasons, the
height of the fighting comes during
the mating season. "-American Angler.

CURED OF CHOREA.
low q Well-KnOwn Young Lady of
Du Page Was Freed from st.
Yitus' Dance.

Miss Francis Z. Barber, daughter of Mr..
Franklin c. Barber, of Du Page, Ills, who
is one of the best known citizens of Du Page,
tor the past year has been in pltltul condl-
ton from chOrea, commonly called st.
Vitus' dance. Miss Barber is music teach

permanent brought on the disease. The best
physicians were called but they could do
nothing for the young lady, and she got so
had and the spasms became so fierce at times
that it often required three or four persons
to hold her. The contortions of her face at
such times were fearful to behold and filled
those who saw her with horror. While Miss
Barber was thus suffering, with no seem
ing prospect of relief, the distracted father
and mother heard of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and as last resort they determined to
try them on the daughter.
After taking less than one box of the pills
the spasms ceased and the twitching of the
face became less and less violent. Before
Nitus' dance had gone, her health was re-
stored, and to-day she is one of the health.
lest and rosiest girls in Du Page.
In six months from the time Miss Barber
began to take the pills she was able to re.
sumo her occupation as music teacher, and
never has felt the slightest symptoms of the
old malady. The young lady is the niece
of R. E. Barber, Esquire, the wellknown
lawyer of Joliet.

COTTER NOT GUILTY.
The Jury So Decides After Being
Out Five rlinutes.

The jury in the case of Curl Cotter,
charged with assault on M. ]. Jordan,
in the municipal court yesterday
afternoon returned verdict OF not
guilty after being out five minutes.
1t transpired during the trial that
a son of Mr.. Jordan's, who has had
more or less trouble with his father
and has been estranged from him for
several years, arrived home to see his
mother a day or two before the
trouble. MIR. and Mrs. Jordan are
divorced and live in separate houses,
and the son expressed desire to call
on his father and see ii they could
not settle their old differences and
agree to live in peace hereafter.
Young Jordan asked Mr.. Cotter to
walk over to the house with MIN.
Cotter attempted to have Jordan post
pone his visit until the next day, but
the young man said ne was going
away the next day and wanted to see
his father that evening. Cotter told
him he would go with him but that
he would not 60 into the house. They
went to the house and young Jordan
raped on the door. A lady within
asked who was there and he replied
giving his name. The lady told him
that he could not come in that eve
ming, that his father had gone to bed
At this the young man turned To
leave, and when about to walk away
M. J. Jordan came up with a stick OF
cord wood in his hand and went to-
wards Cotter, who was then in front
of the house waiting for young
Jordan. When Cotter saw Mr.. Jordan
coming at him with the stick he
grasped the stick in his left hand ano
took hold of Jordan with the right
and wrenched the stick away from
him. In the scrimmage, Jordan's
coat was torn. AS soon as Cotter got
control of the stick he walked across
the street toward home and made nc
further attempt to interfere with Mr.
Jordan.
Mr.. Jordan testified that he heard
his sister call for help and thought
that the two men were burglars. He
got the stick and approached then
to ask them what they wanted, wher
Cotter jumped upon him and took
the stick away. He then fully recog
nized Cotter, not having been sure
before.
