ID. There was a good attendance from
al sections of the county. Early in the
forenoon the comrades began to arrive
and were soon gathered in groups about
the building, recalling The scenes of their
service OF discussing various questions of
the day. These gatherings are ever of
interest to the old soldiers, and to all
others who delight in the rehearsal of the
deeds of the boys in blue.
The business meeting was called to or

Lorenzo Jones of Brooks. The usual
routine business was transacted and
committee on time and place of next

HAS TAKEN A new HOLD
Two More Cases of Smallpox
Discovered.
SENT TO THE PEST HOUSE
r. Baldridge Is the Latest Vict.m-The
Quarantine En- 'orced Is Not So
Strict SIS the Previous
One.

Smallpox seems to have taken a new
hold. After a period of several days
in which no new cases daveloped
Thursday brought forth a new case,
and still another yesterday. The lat
est victim is r. Baldrdge, who lived
in lodging house at 821 South Main
street DR.. Monroe, who was notified,
diagnosed the case as variolod, and
sent the patient to the pesthouse Ow-
ing to the structures passed upon the
health department by members of the
city council recently, because of the
strict quarantine that was at first en-
forced, the whole house was not quar-
antined, but only the room in which
the case developed.
There are now at the pesthouse five
cases. They are David Dyer Mr.. and
Mrs. William Jones, John Refs and
Baldridge, making a total of nine
cases that have been sent to the pest
house. Those who have been discharg-
ed are the two McLeods, Lindsay and
Lynn. All the cases in the city, as
well s all those at the pesthouse, are
reported as doing nicely.

Who can write $4,000 words upon a

world. He is 81 years old, but his hand
young mans Old Ria Kittridge of
Belfast, Me, is the champion small
writer Of the world and he stands
ready to beat any conner. To crowd
the Lords prayer eight times No larger
than a. 5-cent piece is child's play to
him. He has written the whole of the
four ordinary postal cards. The presi-
dents message goes on one postal card,
and he still believes that the next time
he win do better than that

Mr. Altt1idge was born in Brattle-

Belfast and went into the crockery
business. which he always has followed.

than leave unfinished a piece a piece
OF work which he had started. He was
however, never induced to his utmost
skill until about II years ago. when one
of the local papers received a postal
card on which the sender had crowded
900 words and deied someone to beat
1t.
This was enough to cause Mr. Kit
ridge to tax his skill to the utmost. Il
few days afterward he placed in the
hands of q local editor a postal card
with 1000 words on it, and, this being
beaten, he produced one with 5000
words.
Nobody beat this one, yet Mr.. Kilt
ridge did not relinquish his efforts, out
continued to crowd his letters in

He was ready enough to talk of his
accomplishment when seen at his home
IN Belfast the other day. He said: Il

PLuckEo HIS eAuor FEATHERS
Revenge of Turkey Gobbler Upon a
Vainglorfous Peacock.

sahhEioNious 1SScoGh.
From the Galveston News.
Il have always believed" the colonel
continued, that animals have far
more intelligence than they are COM
monty credited with. 1 am sure they
can talk to ore another. A case in
point: You see that turkey gobbler
and hen out there? Let me tell you
an actual fact about them. l.. NJ. John
son presented me with very handsome
peacock He was splendid bird, and
the beauty of his plumage was the
wonder OF the neighborhood. One after
noon | saw him strutting around and
making magnificent display of the
gorgeous tail feathers. Mrs. Turkey
looked on admiringly for a while and
trotted over to where gobbler was
quietly mapping under a peach tree.
Ihey were engaged for a moment in
earnest conversat ton.
Then Mr.. Gobbler Strengthened him
SELF up, stiffened his wings, gave a
strut and proudly spread his tail feath-
ers. Madame gave q contemptuous toss
OF her head and evidently laughed at
hlm.t | could see the fire in the COB
bler's eye. and told Mr.. Boubei, my en-
gineer, who was with me at the time,
TO LOOK out and we would see some fun,
and we did. That gobbler marched
straight over to where the peacock was
pirouetting and admiring the CLINT of
his fridescent plumage, pounced on him
and never letup until he had picked out
the last feather of that gorgeous tail
| gathered up the feathers, put them
together and gave them to Mrs. Gun
nlson. You can go over the river and
see them If you want confirmation of
the story. The poor peacock. after the
loss Of his tail, took no more interest
in life, but pinned eway and died in less
than a month.
