LITTLE PARTRlDoEs.
Raised Under Bantam Hon and
Locked Like BumbIebces.

The little hen partridge was far too
| timid to be trusted with her own eggs,
| tor whenever in the least disturbed sne
would go booming OF the nest the
| EGGS in imminent danger OF being
| crushed. So tney were placed under
| clucairg bantam hen. VINO proved to
be a most excellent mother. TIMER
birds can hardly be imagined than the
| little partrdgeS, which hatched In
three weeks. they were no larger
than good sized bumblebee and just
about the same color. Yet in three
hours after Matching they ran so fast
that 1t was diliicuit TO catch them, and
when cornered they would crouch nat,
with head and body pressed down close
to the sand, resembling little dried
leaf or tiny clod or earth. Their
wings grew with astonishing rapidity,
while tor a week or two their bodies
remained as small as ever The ban
tam hen was particularly small one,
yet she looked gigantic When compared
with these tiny bundles of down. One
of them died when about two weeks
old, and its body slipped easily into
| half-ounce vial. When about fifteen
| days old one escaped from its runway
and went straight up into the air al
most twenty feet. 1t was found neces-
sary, in order to recapture the little
bird, to let the hen loose and walt un-
til the mite of partridge crept under
her.
One very amusing thing happened
daily. The partirdges would snuggle
under the bantam and gradually work
up under her wins until close to her
shoulders. When she stood up to feed
she would naturally hold her wings
more closely to her body than when
brooding, and as result the little birds
would be held prisoners in the hollow
under her wing. Their little feet would
dangle down and kick vigorously as
their owners tried to get out. The hen
could hear their peeping. and would
look all around the runway for them,
ignorant of their whereabouts. As she
walked about or scratched. she looAed
exactly as person does who carries a
bundle under each arm. Before long
something would cause her to flap or
stretch her wings. when the little fell
lows would drop out. They were com
Portable enough in their unusual posi-
ton, but the movements and clucks of
the hen made them eager to get out

DIED FROM SMALLPOX
NOT GERMAN MEASLES
Dreaded Disease Has Obtained a
Foothold in West Scranton.
Statement of Health officer.

Health Officer w. L. Allen is con-
WINGED that George J. Lewis, who died
Tuesday at the residence of his BROTH
er-in-law. William j. Brace, of 512
North Bromley avenue, was victim
Of smallpox and not of German meas
les and directed that all the precau-
tons surrounding the burial Of a small
pox victim be observed yesterday when
Lewis was buried. The following con-
servative statement was given out last
night by Dr. Allen:
II was notified by an undertaken
that had been called to bury James
Lewis of 512 North Bromley avenue,
that as the body presented some very
suspicious conditions, he was afraid
that death had been caused by small
poX. On investigation I learned that
the man had been treated by an INTEL
ligent physician who stated that he
had been called to attend the patient
December 26, 1901, and found him suf-
fering from pneumonia, and later a
rash had been developed which was
diagnosed as German measles.
"In view of the fact that smallpox
is so near to us, l employed a physi-
clan who has had a very extensive ex-
perience in that disease, to view the
body and was informed by him that
death had been caused by malignant
eruptic disease. In order to prevent
possible contagion 1 ordered the house
quarantined and the premises will be
constantly patroled until there is no
longer any danger. The body was dis
infected and wrapped in sheets. sat-
urated with formalin and buried with
out delay"
AS the body of Lewis was being re-
moved from the house yesterday his
sister-in-law. Mrs. William j. Brace,
age 25, died from complications re-
sulting from premature childbirth.
She had not been stricken by small
poX, but as she had been in the same
house DR.. Allen directed that she be
buried privately at once and this was
done last night.
Her two children We're stricken with
what was supposed to be measles and
were taken to the home of her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Parry at
South Main avenue and Scranton
street. Last night 1t was reported to
DR.. Allen that these children We're suf-
fering from smallpox. He will make
an examination today.
Lieutenant of Police Davis would not
permit dance to be held in Mears'
hall last night because of it's proximity
to the quarters where the Brace chill
dren are.
