drops of weak medicine fer some ailment

Horse Had the Ra bies.

Dr. Chute, state veterinarian, wa
summoned to BrookGeld near La Crosse
by the report that horse on farm
there had the rabies. When he arrived
the animal was dead 1t had suddenly
gone mad and attacked the cattle ant
horses in the pasture with it. Seven il
eli were bit an by the maddened beas
before the farm hands could cast ropes
around it. The animal died about 81
hour after he was put under control
Rabies among horses are very rare anC
it is impossible to account for the origin
of the disease which this auimal con

Matrimony in IlIinois-Same Way Her

MatrlmOny IN lli1nO1S-Same way here
This article is especially written for
the kids of LAGRANGE who make hab-
it of chasing out after every little girl
in town or country whose petticoats
reach below her knees, with the pur-
pose of inflicting matrimony upon some
helpless victim A green boy without
dollar, present or prospective, spark
ing girl regularly and talking abont
marry ing He should be reasoned
with, ana if he vii! not quit it until he
is able to support wife, and to know
whom he loves, and the difference be-
tween love and passion, he should be
quarantined and put in a convent pur
posply for such cases. Nine tentbs of
the unhappy marriages are the result
of green human calves being allowed
to run at large in the society pasture
without yoke upon them. They
marry and have children before they
have moustaches; they are fathers of
twins b fore hey are proprietors OF
two pair of pants, and the little girls
they marry are old women before
they are twenty Occasionally one of
these gosling marriages turr 8 out al
right, but it is clear CASE at luck.
If there was a law against young ga
loots sparkling and marrying b FIRE they
cut their eye teeth, we suppose they
would evade it some way, but there
ought to be sentiment against it. 1t
is time enough for the bantams to
thick of finding pullet when they
have money by their own work o buy
bundle of lsth to build hen house.
But they see a girl that looks cunning,
and they are afraid there ere not going
to be girls enough to go sround, and
then they begin to get in tb 'ir work
real sprv, and before they are aware OF
the sanctity of the marriage relation
they are hitched for life, and before they
own a cookstove or bedstead they have
to get up in the night and go after the
doctor, so frightened that they run
themselves out OF breath and abuse the
doctor because he does not run too; and
when he gets there there is rot
linen enough in the house TO wrap up a
doll baby. From L. Grange I'll. News.
