Iwish-that sympathy and Love,
And every human passion
That has It's origin above,
Would come ana keep in fashion;
That Scorn and Jealousy and Hate,
And every base emotion,
We buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves OF Ocean.
wish-that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
| wish the good were not SO few,
/ wish the bad were fewer;
wish that parsons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teachings;
/ wish that practising was not
So different from preaching
wish-that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor;
wish that innocence was free
From treachery and SANDER,
wish that men their VOWS would mind;
That women meier were rovers;
wish that wives were always kind.
And husbands always lovers.
wish-in fine-th JOY and Mirth,
And every good ideal,
May come erewhile through out the earth
To be the glorious Real;
Till god shall every creature bless
Wish his supremest blessing
And Hope be lost IN Happiness,
And Wishing in Possessing.

A MAD DOGS VICTIMS.
Horrible Death of Horse Bitten by Same Dog
That Bit Young Willie Lentz.
Especial to News and Observe.

Especial to News and Observer
Wadesboro, n. c., May 23.-About a
month ago, Willie Lentz, the 16-year- -old
son of Mr.. f. X. Lentz. of Cedar Hill,
was bitten by a mad dog. The dog also
bit horse, three cows and two hogs,
the property of Mr.. Lentz. Willie was
bitten on the heel, through his stocking
he had on low quartered shoes. The bite
was not severe and soon healed. The
bites on the horse, cows and hogs also
healed all right.
On Sunday the horse first showed
signs of being unwell. On Wednesday
the place on the horses shin, where it
had been bitten by the dog, began to in
anne and swell and from that time the
horse grew apidly worse, until it died.
For some time before it died the horse
had one convulSion after another. 1t
would jump straight up and fall to the
ground on its back, and while lying in
this position would tear the flesh from
its side, flanks and legs. The flesh was
torn from its legs to the bone. 1t would
bite and snap at everything in reach
several of it's teeth being broken out by
coming in contact with rocks and the
logs of which it's stable was built.
AS yet only one of the hogs that was
bitten has died. The hog did not ap-
pear to be vicious like the horse, but
would go into commissions every time any
one or anything approached it. Even a
chicken coming near its pen would cause
it to have a fit.
None of the cows have died, but two OF
them have been unwell
AS soon as Mr.. Lentz discovered that
the horse had hydrophobia he sent his
son to Baltimore for treatment in the
Pasteur Institute of that city.

DEATH OF DIR. ALEXANDER MONTAGUE
He Died in sacraments, Cal From Appendix
cltis A Native of Wake Co

The friends of his youth and young
manhood will be deeply panied to learn
of the death of DR.. Alexander Montague,
native and former resident of Wake
county. His death occurred at his home
in Sacramento, Cal, May 21st, 1902, from
appendicitis At the time he left North
Carolina, in 1877 there was probably no
young physician in the county more wide
ly known or enjoying a larger practice
in the country, but the boundless possi-
hilities of the great West attracted the
eye of his youthful ambition and he set
out for what was destined to be his per-
manent home-the home where he took
his wife, enjoyed the bounties of a smil-
ing Providence throughout his successful
career. and where he was finally laid in
his last resting place to sleep,
He owed his success in life to a nat
ural quickness of apprehension, attention
and fidelity to business and to the edu-
cational advantages which his bonored
father, Dr. II. w. Montague. late OF Wake
county. gave to him in common with all
his children, several of whom enjoy dis
tinction and success III their native State.
DR.. Montague was born September 10th,
1Sf5. was graduated June, 1865, at the
University of North Carolina with the
degree of Bachelor of Arts, and subse-
quently attained at the same institution
the degree of Master of Arts. In 1868
he was graduated from the medical de-
pGrtmrnt of the University of New York
and obtained his degree ne also went
back L. this institution several times TO
renew his learning at the fountain head.
In the spring of 1886 he took vacation
and visited Raleigh and old friends and
his jovial disposition coupled with his
fine sense of humor made him a pleas
ant companion.
He took life as it was, understood it
in many phases and was equipped to fight
its battles. which he did not fear. About
twelve years ago he was married to a
beautiful and accomplished Young woman
Miss Nettie Gaffney, who still survives
him. They had no children. He died in
the faith of the Roman Catholic church
