FUN FOR II r
How a Raven Tormented and pun
tshed . Greedy Pug Dog.

How q Raven Tormented and Pun
ished . Greedy Pug Dog.
The greediest and most conceited pug
that ever lived, according to his owner,
was Suto. The sight Of anything eat
Ing except HIMSELF was agony to him.
A large raven was kept in a cage in
the garden Of Suto's owner-a raven
gifted with sardonic cunning and love
of mischief. The pug was the butt Of
his malicious humor.
Daily at 8 o'clock the raven was
given a lump Of steak, and Suto would
always be lowering about at the time
-he lowered near everything eatable.
The raven knew his shameful greedi-
ness and made fine sport Of it. At first
Suto. though in torrents Of gluttony,
would feign indifference. The v
would put the stake close against the
wires, and Suto's agony would get past
bearing. Then the raven retired with
a dhuckle. At this all Suto's self con-
troll was gone. and he plunged at the
wires ina mad attempt to snatch the
meat.
Of course the thing vas hopeless; his
blunt nose could never penetrate the
wire netting. But the ravens beak
could. Instantly the bird would swoop
on him and drive in one on that greedy
pug's nose. With that Suto would hurl
himself %furiously at the rayen-hope-
lessiy ever, for he could never touch
the tormentor. The tormentor, in fact,
danced and jumped in an ecstasy of
delight driving in dig after dig at the
dogs unhappy countenance and get
ting Weil home at every dig, till at last
poor Suto retired, pecked and beaten.
Then the raven, happy and confetti,
ms appetite well whetted, swallowed
his steak at one gulp, while Suto hid
behind a tree or anything else, Opaque,
that he might not have the pain OF wit
nessins'the operation. Day after day
the performance was repeated in every
detail and the dog must have known
what would happen every time,i but
his master passion of gluttony was too
strong for him-he could not keep his
s away from that meat--Chicago

POET BURNS AS A PuGlLlsT.
A Masonic Souvenir of His Fighting
Ability Owned In Chicnro

A Masonic Souvenir of His Fighting
Ability Owned In Chicago.
A part of the Masonic altar that once
brought the Scottish bard, Robert
Burns. in dire disgrace before his
lodge is now in the possession of a
Chicago woman, Mrs. w. r. Funch cf
1850 Sidney avenue, and is treasured
by her as a family heirloom.
Mrs. Funch is by birth a Canadian
OF Scotch origin. In the days when her
grandfather, George MacRae, was
young he attended the same lodge as
did Bobbie Burns and was one Of the
"lichts' of the town. One night before
lodge meeting the poet and MacRae
sat long together
Bousing at the happy,
And gettin fou and unco happy.
And then arm in arm they sauntered
slowly to the room where the Masons
were wont to assemble.
Az would have gone we'll had not
Burns desired to show his Masonic
brethren how good q pugilist he was,
and he let go a heavy undercut at Mac

blood, and the bout began, which re-
suited in MacRae being felled to the
floor and Bobbie Burns throwing the
four legged altar, or stand, at him as
he attempted to rise.
Luckily he missed him aim, and the
stand struck violently against the wall,
SCATTERING completely one of the legs.
At the following meeting the two
friends were brought before the order
for trial. A fine was imposed on them,
and they were made to replace the al
tar. The broken u was thrown out,
and as MacRae went home he carried
the. stand with him.
1t is abosI two feet high and is of a
style out OF use today in the Masonic
order. 1t has since been preserved in
the family as an heirloom.-Chicago

Decline ana Fan Of Corn Bread.

It seems to us that our own people
are not the great corn bread eaters
they used to be. Batter or egg and
certain cakes are still in vogue, but
the honest and homely corn pone, the
corn dodger and the hoecake are not
as popular as they used to be. AS for
the ash cake, the cooking of it has be-
come lost art almost.
We charge this change, in part at
least, to the introduction, ever in most
country homes, of the modern cooking
stove and range. 1t takes a great big
open fireplace and a southern negress,
with a red bandanna on her head, to
make prime corn bread. Nor will any
meal but water ground meal serve the
best purpose. Steam power meal Is

BOils.
A boil is due to the action of a mi
crobe called a pus coccus. This is al
most always present in the skin, but
does no harm while the system can
combat the necessary conditions of its
growth and multiplication.
Sufferers from boils are usually in
poor health. They are pale, pasty
looking. emaciated, with a poor appe-
tite and bad digestion. People say
their blood is too thin. Others. how
ever, may be in apparently perfect
health, yet hardly is n boil over be-
fore another comes. or these persons
it is said that their blood is too rich.
Both these popular terms are nearly
expressive Of the true condition. In
the first case the tissues are not well
nourished and so cannot resist the mi
crobe. In the second case the tissues
are nourished, but are poisoned by ex-
cess of waste material in the blood,
caused by the taking Of more food than
the body can properly dispose Of

DEATH OF MRS. FELLlNeHAm.

DEATH OF MRS. FELLlNGHAM.
West Side. August 20. Mrs. A. r.
Fellingham died very suddenly last
night from a complication of heart and
lung trouble. She was IS years old and
had been in failing health for some
years, and while the family and friends
realized she was nearing the end of
life, no one expected the summons to
come so soon. The family had retired
for the night. Between 10 and IL O'Clock
a storm came UP and Mrs. Fellingham
attempted to get up to close some win
dows, which had been left open. She
did not feel we'll and sat down in a
rocking chair, called her daughter and
husband. who at once called the family
physician When he got there she
asked him to do something to relieve
her suffering quickly. These we're her
last words. The whole community is
in sorrow and can hardly realize that
Mrs. A. p. Fellingham is no more. The
children have been notified by wire and
are expected to arrive during the day.
The remains will be taken to Verona.
Ill, for burial in the family lot.

TEACHING DOGS TRICKS.
One That Would BE Amusing II Tried
Upon Yourself.

One That Would BE Amusing II Tried
Upon Yourself.
Although it is by no means an I'M
common thing TO see dogs throw SOM
erset after somerset in stage perform
ances. 1t is a somewhat remarkable
fact that few people know how such
animals can be taught such a difficult
feat.
Ask a friend how he thinks a dog can
be initiated into the mysteries of SOM
erset throwing, and you will receive
some very curious suggestions.
AS there is more han one way of
cooking q goose, so there is more than
one method of teaching a dog to throw
somersets. But the most practical and
thorough manner is to fasten q cord
around the body Of the animal. close to
the fore legs, and two people should
hold the ends Of the cord on either side
Of the unfortunate dog. A third party.
armed with a stout rope, takes a posi-
ton Immediately in front of the canine
acrobat and. with a measured and
mastery stroke. fiogs the floor at close
quarters to the dogs nose.
At each stroke Of the rope the dog
springs backward, and that movement
is the trainers golden opportunity. AS
the dog springs backward the rope
passing under its body is jerkedeup-
ward, and, although the first few at
tempts may prove futile. the somerset
is acquired in course of time. An intel
ligent dog soon sickens of this order Of
things and throws somersets without
the assistance Of ropes.
For the sake of your dog in particu-
lar and your patience and future well
fare in general. we do not commend
you to teaching your dog to turn SOM
ersets. 1T. however, you think there
is no harm in it, just get a few friends
to put you through the exercise and
see how you like it. 1t will prove Inn
mensely amusing-for your friends

A TYPHOID COME.

This is plain talk to the people Of
Denison. We have it on the authority
Of one of reliable physicians that
Denison is threatened with an epidemic
of typhoid fever. Some people object
to newspapers mentioning such things
saying that it hurts the town, but if the
REVIEW prevents the loss of a single
life or hours of suffering, it has done
its duty. Denison is not a typhus COM
munity but the heavy rains and surface
drainage have combined to make con-
ditions dangerous. An epidemic may
be avoided by a little precaution.
Every out house in town should be
thoroughly disinfected. Chlorate of
lime is the best and cheapest disinfect-
ant. People should be careful of all
swlll and garbage. All that a should
be burned and the remainder buried and
disinfected, not thrown promiscuously
"EM
into alleys and backyards. There are a
number of cases of diahroea and some
of dysentery in town. The excument
from these patients should be carefully
disinfected. Wherever there is a ques-
ton as to the purity of the water it
should be boiled before drinking. There
are other communities in the county
and in fact throughout the Boyer Val
ley which would do we'll to take these
precautions. This is no idle warning
published to create a sensation but a
warning wefeel 1t our duty to give that
innocent lives may be spared.
