FROM me hOnsdS Z w JOHrHdi.
Ten or twenty wears AGO there was n popular
ballad which had for it. burden, "Whrn the
Pigs Begin to Fly" one few yesterday AT

aS he thought. a pig fying for Clay county
with the biggest wings hr ever law In hi- life.
To let go both barrel, was the next thing and
then the explanation was easy. An eagle had
stolen n pig and was making of with il. The
shot killed the bird Instantly. a. il did moi even
flop it, wing once, so butchers says. The pig
was the first to hit tho ground screaming every
inch of the way until he struck the earth. Then
came the bird ilutchrHs il n cripple. using
a ~four-root crutch. He guessed the spread Of
The wings To be six feet. The pig weighed
ioriv-twu pound, and had been carried half
a mile. The owner saw the theft, but could
not get to his gun quickly enough. It l. little
short Of extraordinary that a load of squirrel
shot would Kill an eagle, The charge went
into the birds throat
AlthOugh the spread was all HutchenS "Sti-

LaGrippe is fatal disease. 10 has
taken front rank before the dreaded
sr,all pox, scarleo fever, diphtheria,
ETC., in that its fatalities outnumber
those Of all other forms of disease.
During the seasons when the grip is
prevalent, every man, woman and
child is exposed to its awful ravages.
The atmosphere is everywhere thor
oughly impregnated with the deadly
germs. 1t is contagious as well as
infectious, and may be contracted by
one person from another or taken
into the system in myriads of mi
crobes through inhalation. 1t strikes
straight to the very foundation upon
which life exists-the nerves-and
tears asunder the vital framework
in remarkably short time.
