AN EPIDEMIC OF LAUGHTER
Three Young People i'm Illinois Town
who Nearly Die from Irrepres-
sible Merriment

The young people of Wellington. in
lroquois county, H., are suffering
from an epidemic of laughter. which
has batlled the doctors aud has caused
much distress. The first victim of the
attliction was Miss Eme Hamilton. the
15-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
l.. NJ. Hamilton. She laughed unceas-
ingly for four days. until her father,
not knowing what else to do. dashed a
shock bad the desired effect. but for
long time the girl was exceedingly
weak from the strain of her four DAYS
of laughing.
The second victim was Miss Rosa
Butts. aged Is. She was taken much
the same way as Miss Hamilton. but
the cold water cure had only tempo
rary effect. The girl was finally
stopped, but not until her condition
had become alarming.
The third victim is Young man.
John Kimberlin. who laughed for al
most a week. and then only let up ov--
ing to his excessive weakness. The
Young people were all similarly af-
fiicted. and during their hNSterical at
tacks were unable to eat or sleep. 50
the debilitating effect of their ailment
can easily he understood
The utmost solemnitv is the rule in
Wellington now. and anythings calcu-
lated to start even a mild laugh is
promptly suppressed.

that while getting railroad ties near
that place Abe Morehouse was bit
ten in the leg by rattlesnake. n
doctor was sent for. When he arrived
the bandages were taken off, and as
soon as the leg was bare swarm of
mosquitoes lighted on it. In few
minutes the ground was covered with
dead and dying mosquitoes. They
had sucked the poison of the wound
and saved Warehouses; life. And yet
they say that mosquitoes are wholly
useless.

MAN WITH TRAITS OF CAT.
The Remarkable Results Reported
from Grating Feline Flesh
Into Human Scalp.

Samuel Crawford, of Sherman, Pa,
has developed most peculiar traits
HsSthe result of surgical operation,
at least so report some individuals
noted for their veracity and Observa-
ton. While operating a patent hay
lifting fork last fall Crawford had /.
large part of his scalp torn off. Lo-
cal surgeons fixed him up tempo
rarily, and he was then taken to q
postgraduate college in Philadelphia,
where the physicians decided to
graft flesh on his skull. A cat was
killed and some of it's flesh was
sewed to the remnant of flesh upon
the patients head. In a few weeks
the flesh of the man and that of the
animal began to grow together, and
Crawford gradually recovered and
returned to his home.
Recently Crawford has been Civ
ing his relatives n great deal of trou-
BILE by showing all the characteris-
tics of a cat. He prowls around
back alleys and barns at nights,
fights with stray dogs, and even
self does not seem to realize his
changed condition so far rs these
particular things go, but there is an
other that gives him a great deal of
worry and trouble.
The cat from which the flesh to
graft on Crawford's skull was taken
was of the tiger variety. It's fur was
of rich. dark yellow, and handsome
ly barred with black. In place OF
hair there grows on the replaced
portions of Crawford's scalp a coat
ing of fur identical in texture and
coloring with that of the tiger cat
1t is this that gives him his great
est worry. He has to have his skull
shaver clean once Il week or become
u dime museum freak, as the pecu
liar marking makes him an object o.
curiosity wherever he goes.
