A good story is told of digger who
had ridden into a Western Australian
town to consult doctor. Having done
so, he went to have the prescription
made up.
''How much is this lot?" he asked
the chemist
"Well, let me see," was the reply.
"Theres seven and sixpence for the
medicine and a shilling for the bottle"
He hesitated, uncertain whether he
had charged for everything.

tient miner; 'put price on the cork
and let us know the worst" -London

The Cat and the Tail.

Once upon a time cat who prided
herself on her wit and wisdom was
prowling about the barn in search of
food and saw a tail protruding from a
hole.
''There is the conclusion of q rat"
she said.
Then she crept stealthily toward it
until within striking distance, when
she made jump and reached it with
her claws. Alas, it was not the ap-
pendage of rat, but the tail of
snake, who Immediately turned and
gave her mortal bite.
Moral-It is dangerous to jump at
conclusions.

SMALLPOX IN AN ASYLUM

at Lincoln, Ills.
Lincoln, Ills, Dec 31.-More than
100 cases Of smallpox have been dis
covered in the asylum for feeble-mind-
ed children located at this place. The
alarming prevalence of disease in the
big institution finally resulted in a call
for the head Of the state board Of
health, Dr. Egan. Until his arrival
it had been thought the cases were
chickenpox.
DR.. Egan at once began rigid ex-
animation, at the close of which he an
nounced that smallpox prevailed to an
alarming extent, but that a majority
Of TIC cases are mild and will submit
to careful treatment. He also discov-
cred several cases of diphtheria and
chickenpox, and has ordered a system
of quarantine that is calculated to
stamp out the disease in the course of
two Or three weeks.
There are more than 1000 children
in the institution, in addition to the 1873
officers and assistants. Predetermined
children are weakly and more sus-
ceptible to contagious disease than the
ordinary healthy child, which can
throw off the poisonous germs.

ers" are tonight making even bets that
Lowell will not win a game.
After Muncie had won a decided victory
over Anderson, Richmond and Racine, Wis,
in the West. Manager Walter Petty, of the
Muncie team, issued a challenge for a Sc
ries with the team that won the champion
ship in the American League, and after
an exchange of letters Manager Parsons
and his team came West. There is a strik-
ing difference in the appearance of the
Muncie and Lowell teams, the visitors being
much larger. Weight is a necessity in the
East, where the regulation floor is much
smaller than in the West. and the game of
blocking is played. Muncie's much lighter
team has more speed, and On a large floor
the small men glide around the Eastern
ers, thereby avoiding the handicap of SUI
periOr weight. Manager Parsons is an old
player. working in any position. and dur
ing this season he was compelled to play
in the goal, owing to an accident that put
Fox out of the game.
Richmond and Racine were invited to en-
terrain Lowell on the trip West, but the
managers OF these two teams were afraid
of the great expense account. Manager
Petty is showing appreciation of the big
patronage of the past season by assuming
the great expense of bringing Lowell here
for the series. 1t was desired that the
teams play on Sunday evening also, but
the Ministerial Association threatened to
prosecute and the plan was abandoned.

been materially reduced. OF the 143 who
had not missed a bird when the shooting
stopped yesterday e%ighty-nine dropped out

high men have shot sixteen rounds. When
the shooting stopped this evening there
were ffty-six men who had shot twelve
rounds, and among them were ten with a
straight score. On account of the rain
during the early part of the day the shoot
did not start until IL o'clock and darkness
came before all the shooters could make

the traps tomorrow. There will be many
Withdrawals tomorrow and the race may
be decided before the day is over.
The weather to-day was disagreeable and
it had much to do with the scores that were
made. 1t was a cold, raw day and the
shooters were thoroughly chilled. A hard

blown out of bounds. The birds were fast
and hard to bring down.
