" handsome woman. She is a brilliant
talker, amiable in manners, and is al
ways styIishly dressed. A year or two
ago she was on her way to address q
state convention in Topeka, Kan, when
she got into conversation with two gem
tlemen on the cars. One of them was a
county Judge and the other a neWspa-
per editor of the same town. A few
seats in front of them sat a specialized,
angular woman, salloW as to complex
ion and drab as to dress. Her clothes
were cut in a fashion severely plain
The talk had turned upon the rights OF
women.

Judge. I'll bet she's a delegate to that
women's rights convention uD at To-
peka."

Mrs. Gait smiled and changed the sub

Trouble Over Quarantine Regulations
Evidently Does Not Worry Him.

DR.. W. B. Swan, secretary of the
state board of health, has been tele-
graphed to visit GrainfieId and aid in
quarantining the town against a spread
of scarlet fever. An explanatory letter
to DR. Swan states that his services are
needed because the citizens of the town
will not observe the quarantine regula-
lions which the county and city author
tiles are attempting to enforce.
GrainfeId is a city of the third class
and the quarantine rules and regula-
tions are indefinite and lax. This gives
those who care to take advantage of
unlimited liberty in dealing with the
orders of the local authorities, hence
the appeal to the secretary of the
board of health. DR.. Swan will not
visit Grainf1eld unless the necessity be-
comes more apparent than it seems to
be at this time He has advised the
authorities how to proceed and will aid
them in preventing a spread Of the fe-

Gastonia, N. c., Dec. ia sad
afflication has invaded the home of
Mr.. John T. Leeper. of CASTOR county
About four weeks ago Mr. Leepers
oldest son, Alex Hoke, was bitten by
Collie dog, owned by Mr.. w. c. Aber-
nethy. OF Mt. Holly. Nothing was
thought of the occurrence until a few
days afterwards, when the dog died
with commissions. Mr. Leeper took
with commissions. Mr.. Leeper brought
his boy to Charlotte to the maidstone
and applied remedies that are usually
resorted to in such cases.
The Incident had almost passed out
OF the minds of the Leeper family.
Tuesday the boy was seized with con-
yulslons. Reason was Immediately de-
throned and symptoms OF the awful
disease-hydrophobi developed. Mr..
Leeper at once sent for physician,
who made a careful examination as
was possible under the circumstances.
From all the facts and the condition
of the child at the time, the physician
pronounced the trouble genuine case
of hydrophobia-
He is now confined in room and
none OF the family are allowed to
enter. At times the unfortunate
child barl1s like q. dog and makes other
noises common to CANNES. While the
convulsons are on, his condition is
extremely pitiful. The boy cannot re-
cover and his death may have ter
minated his horrible sufferings.
