aged 10, whose father owns a large

disease that in it's effects resembles by
drOphobia as result Of attending some
sick cattle.
Some half dozen of the animals on
the ranch had died of disease, and in
attending another that was sick the
young man apparently became blood
poisoned, and the effects upon him are
almost exactly like thise resulting
from hydrophObia. Mr.. NuckOls says
he is in rigors and is so violent that he
has to be constantly cared for by at
tendants and bound in bed. His recoV-
cry is said to be very doubtful.

HIS PORUS PLASTER ROOF.

House With Odd Material.
Pompey was soldier in the Confed-
crate army and was wounded at the
battle Of Gettysburg. After the war
he settled down on little farm near
Mooref1eld, W. Va, o. as lived there
ever since The fa. is small and
Pompey is not prosperous. Tie only
thing that has flourished with him Of
late years has been the pains caused
by his old wounds, and for those moth
ing afforded relief except porous plas-
tiers.
He had contract with the village
druggist to supply him with porous
plasters by the gross, and the tax on
his resources became SO great on ac-
count of being addicted to the porous
plaster habit that he became penurious
and demanded that old tin cans and
broken forks and every other odd and
end should be saved. And especially
he charged his wife to save the old por-
Gus plasters. The plasters had stuck
to him and he would stick to the plas-
tiers. He was as proud of his cabinet
Of old plasters as a man given to the
brc-a-brac and curio habit is of his
collections, and declared that some
time they would come in mighty
handy.
Now there were three buildings on
Pompey's farm-his house, his barn and
a dilapidated building, where he kept his
farming tools and his collection of old
tomato cans and his porous plasters One
night the house burned down and the
family moved into the tool house It was
good enough except that the sun and the
stars showed through the roof Then
came the triumph of the porous plasters.
Pompey got out his collection and shin

plasters. and as they were thick with bur
