They point to the official nvte in tO-nights Osscrvatore Romano, the Vatican organ, saying that on the advice of his doctor, the Pope has decided to take several days of absolute rest. The truth is that the Pope never succeeded in getting rid of the cold which caused a slight cough and hoarseness Dr. Laponni on visiting his holiness to- day said that he was somewhat better but frankly told that he must ever con sent to cure his cold or he would run the risk of something serious. The pontin thereupon gave way and promised to suspend his audience. To save annoy ance Dr. Laponni advised the Pope to publicly announce this determination through the Osservatore Romano

from the north part of the county to

to the county seat. He has opened
his office in the rear of F. w. Smith &

time gone to Chicago and other
schools and taken post graduate work
and specialized on the branches needed
most in his practice and may be
counted upon as being thoroughly
read and up to. date upon all points.

from Extra the city loses two of her
most popular people and Audubon

progressive movements of their town,
and taken their share of the burdens
naturally coming to such movements.

superstitious hungarian Peasants.

SupcTStlttOuS IC4S0ntS.
A queer case of superstition which
resulted in the loss of two lives is re-
ported from Hungary. A peasant liv-
ing in Nosztany died of heart disease
while attending market in Kurd. His
relatives started to take the body home
but were forcibly prevented from car
rying the body through the village Of
lharos, whose inhabitants believed that
the passage of strange corpse through
their town would bring endless misfor-
tune to it. The procession returned to
kurd and the next day it set out again,
this time with an escort of gendarmes.
When it reached Iharos it was met by
the whole population of the village,
armed with scythes, pitchforks, axes
and anything that could be used as a
weapon. The gendarmes were forced
to fire three volleys before they could
get through the place. Two of the vii
layers We're killed and many wounded.

Sun Drunkenness.

To become sun drunk is condition
into which any one may fall in the
tropics. Exposure to the suns rays will
reduce man to a condition almost ex-
actly resembling drunkenness. He stag
gers about and is usually compelled to
lie down and "sleep it off," Sun drunk
enness is sometimes accompanied by
nausea. Another curious fact in con-
nection with life in the tropics, where
the sun rises at the same time all the
year round, IS that if you do not get up
before sunrise You do not feel well all
day. You feel heavy. out Of sorts and
have a tendency to sickness.

Value of the kan1aroo.s Tail.


So important is the kangaroo's tail in
his rapid progress that experienced
hunters with guns are accustomed to
fire at the point where this appendage
Joins the body, when, the tail being dis
abled for it's office of balancing, the
animal is as effectually stopped as if
hamstrung. Hit elsewhere, except with
a rifle bullet or at point blank range,
the kangaroo is pretty likely to get off.
One popularity Of the kangaroo is
that, after being started up, he very
rarely swerves from his course, through
which popularity he is easily "potted"
by hunters, who conceal themselves
while man on horseback drives the
herd toward them.

Prevalence of Anarchism
Socialism is growing and anarchism pre-
walls to a greater extent in Italy now than
in any other country. Nearly every an
archist that turns up in the European cities
is an Italian or Pole, and you know how
numerous they are In the United States.
The slums of Rome, Naples, Genoa and
other cities swarm with anarchists, and the
proposed visit of the Gear of Russia to
Rome was abandoned only few weeks
ago on the recommendation of the Superin-
tendent of police, who explained tho. he
could not guarantee the safety Of such a
conspicuous guest This candor caused

That the King of Italy is considered in
constant danger of the fate of his father is
apparent from the guard that surrounds
him whenever he leaves the palace. He
never goes into the street without being en-
tirely surrounded by cavalrymen, who ride
two or three thick on both sides of him and
before and behind his carriage. If he goes
out on horseback he is practically concealed
by the bodies of las guard, and when he
rides In his automobile he is accompanied
by an escort on bicycles.
