The spleen was removed from two
dogs suffering with hillary fistulae and
the results demonstrated that the
spleen is a reservoir for the pigment
of the red corpuscles as they are nor
mally or abnormally destroyed. The
pigment is conveyed from the spleen to
the liver where it is eliminated as bile
pigment. If the spleen is removed the
pigment is distributed throughout the
entire circulation with the chief locali-
zation in the bone marrow and the bile

The armadillo is a native of Mexico
and Central America. and in his wild
state feeds principally on rats. mice,
spiders, bugs and worms. In captivity
however, he will thrive on vegetarian
diet, devouring greedily boiled rice,
mush, bread soaked in water or milk
or any odd scrap from the table. II
allowed to run about the yard, he will
destroy all the rats and mice about the
place, and thus he has been recon-
mended as a domestic pet who will
more than pay his way.
Armadillos are easily domesticated,
and make harmless pets. When they
are grown they frequently weigh as
much as thirty pounds and are fleet
runners in spite of their size and gen
orally clumsy appearance. They will
thrive in a rigorous climate if given
warm place in which to sleep, and are
happiest and healthiest when allowed
to hunt about for their own food.

WILL GIVE UP WORK
Rev. Harry Thompson to Retire
From the Passionate of st. Mat
theWS Parish in Short Time.
FAILING HEALTH THE CAUSE

After Thirteen Years of Work in This
City Mr.. Thompson, on the Advice of
His Physicians, VIII Seek Another Field
of Labor-The Resignation Will Probably
be Presented at the Meeting of the YES
try and wardens This Evening.
After thirteen years of active pro-
gressive work the Rev Harry Thomp-
son, Rector of ST. Matthews Episco-
pal parish, announced to the members
of the church Sunday that he would
retire from the work in this city in the
near future.
Sunday was the thirteenth anniver-
sary of the work OF Mr.. Thompson as
Rector of St. Matthews church, and in
course of the morning sermon he stated
that this would be the last advent ser
mon which he would preach to the con
gregation, as he had decided to take a
rest with the hope of recuperating his
failing health.
The step has been found necessary
by the condition of Nj. Thompson, and
his physicians urged that he resign his
pastorate before his health was entire
~ broken. The severing of the ties of
pastor and people will be exceedingly
hard in this case. In his 1abors of
love Mr.. Thompson has made for him
self warm place in the hearts of the
people of Kenosha. His friends are to
be found among all classes of people
in the city, and many will hear with
regret that the ties which have bound
him to this city for SO many years are
to be broken.
Rev. Thompson took charge of the
parish in 1886, and since he has been
connected with the chcrch the society
has experienced its greatest growth.
The church has been remode1ed and
the property improved in many differ
ent ways. Under his guidance the
parish purchased the rectory, which is
one of the best pieces of residence
property in the city. Ali branches of
the internal organization of the church
have been revived and strengthened
under the regime of the retiring pastor,
Beyond his connection with his
church Mr.. Thompson has always been
closely connected with the life of the
city and has always taken an earnest
interest in all things which were for
the betterment of Kenosha and it's
people.
The resignation of Mr.. Thompson
will not go into effect at once, but the
pastor will probably present it at the
meeting of the vestry of the church
this evening.
AS to the future Mr.. Thompson says
he has as yet made no plans He will
not retire from the work of the minis
try, but after short rest he will again
fill the sacred desk.

WILL OPERATE THE PLANT.
Manager Magaw Announces That the sieg
works Will Not Be Be closed Down.

The Sieg Manufacturing company,
recently purchased by the bicycle trust,
will not be closed down, and the local
manager for the organization, Fred
Magaw, announced this morning. that
it was the intention of the trust to run
the works during the entire season.
Mr.. Magaw stated that a few of the old
men and some of the office force had
been let out but the main body of
workmen who have been employed by
the factory in the past will be utilized
by the new management as soon as
the work of the transfer of the plant
to the trust is completed. The work of
taking the inventory of the stock is
still progressing but it will be COM
p1eted tomorrow and an effort will be
made to start the plant within a week
after the inventory is completed. Mr.,
MSgaw states that the company has
been severely handicapped by the re-
ports that the works will not be oper-
ated and that a number of the best
employees of the company have left
the city 1t is said that the Sieg plant
is one of the most practical plants now
owned by the trust, and while they
we're 1oath to make the deal for the
plant the property will be utilized to
its fullest capacity. Some plans had
been made when the purchase was
made for the charging of the plant
and it is very probable that these will
be carried out by the new owners. The
plant now has on hand less than 700
wheels which are suitable for their
trade and in order to supply orders
now received it will be necessary to
operate the works to their fullest
capacity.
