MANY CASES CHOLERA MoRBus.
Sudden Change in Temperature Pro-
duces Temporary illness.

Doctors turnout the city report sew
eral cases of cholera morbus Thursday
as the result of the sudden change in
temperature after the severe warm
weather. While several cases were Sc
we're for time, the illness was only
temporary. Probably the most serious
case, and one that for a time indicated
the possibility of resulting fatally, was
that of Engineer j. e. Petrie, OF the
Chicago Great Western, who lives at
Des Moines. Mr.. Petrie was pulling
engine No. 216 to this city Thursday
afternoon, and was taken suddenly Ill
at Baxter. He was brought to TINS
city where he was given medical at
tention, and was sent to his home THIS
morning. For time 1t was thought
that Mr.. Petrie could not live, and even
after being brought here 1t was neces-
sary to resort to the use Of morphine
to quiet the severe pains.

Brood Of chIekens Adopted BY Dog.


Councilman Wilfred F. Harrison,
Of this city, is the possessor Of a set.
ter dog answering to the name Of
"Vic," which has adopted a brood of
game chickens.
Vic formerly kept the neighbors
awake at night, but since he has
iormed the acquaintance of the chicks
he has given up making the night
hideous, and spends the greater part
of his time taking care Of his new
friends.
Vic's master put an old hen, with
her coop and brood Of chickens, near
his kennel Every time a chick came
near his kennel Vic wagged his tail
and in other ways took pains to show
his friendship.
Several of the chicks took to the
dog and finally the whole brood de.
serted their mother and went to him.
Vic now chews his bone, and allows
morsels to drop to the ground, where
the little chickens can feast on them.
At night the chickens snuggle close
to his warm body in great content.

and dusky forehead exposed and then

10 show that the cat is a very intel.

But there are other reasons for

perts say that the species is easily
tanned and can be trained like pigs.
The daily journal. (Salem, Or.) 1899-1903, 1903-11-20

When It is recalled that there are
several troops Of educated pigs going
about the country this is no small
compliment. The catfish knows the
law OF self-preservation as well as
any other Of the finny tribe. II the
water becomes warm in summer, he
survives because he knows how to
make the best Of a bad situation.
Should the air supply in the water fail
the catfish instead Of turning up on
his back, will set about taking care
Of himself. He will come to the sur
face, leisurely renew the air in his
swim-bladder and even, frog-like or
turtle-like, swallow air in bulk, trust.
ing to stomach respiration.
Should the pond go entirely dry,
the catfish will seek out some com.
Portable crack in the mud and lie dor.
mant for days or weeks until the pond
fills up again. He is a great lover of
home, and when once comfortably
settled in a pond will move only on
extraordinary inducements. Whom
the spring freshets come the catfish
does not permit himself to be washed
out of home as most other fishes do,
for he buries himself in the mud, and
II the flood dislodges him IL only does
so by carrying away the bottom Of the
pond. After such catastrophe he
hunts up a new abode, even gives up
his all-commandlng habit of eating
until he is situated again to his lik.
ing.
The catfish takes exceptionally good
care of his family. Both the male
and the female watch over the little
ones and Professor Kendall was
agreeably surprised TO find that the
predaceous feeding habits of the old
fish do not go so far as to permit It
to eat its own young as do bass and
other more highly esteemed fish.
Professor Kendall in watching a pair
OF old catfish raise their young dis
covered that when he threw pieces
Of beef liver into the pond for the
young the old fish would seize II and
apparently swallow it, together with
the dozens OF little catfish, which
were eating at and hanging on tc
the meat. They invariably elected
the young fish from their mouths
quite uninjured, the parent fish seem.
ing to be able to discriminate its prop.
er food.
The fish commissioner Is Of the
opinion that the catfish Is much un
derrated also by those who gauge its
commercial value. They say that II
is one OF the very best pan fishes. It's

What He Learned.
(Chicago Tribune.)


Recent immigrants from Poland
and other European countries usually
have faint and curious ideas about
American history. For instance:
On a recent evening one Of the
workers at the Maxwell street settle
ment was making the regular weekly
distribution of books from the loan
collection at the settlement house. A
little Polish boy of 13. who has lived
in Chicago three years, asked for q
book He was given a short biogra
ply of the late General Sherman.
It was the first time he had cvei
taken a book from the library, and in
some way he got the idea that he
must read the book through and re
port on 1t the same evening. An
hour or two after the book was given
him he came back to the librarian.
81 can't read this all tonight" he
said
"You don't have to read it all to
night" answered the librarian. Take
"a week to IT, But just how far have
you gone tonight?"
81 got just to that place where
Abraham Lincoln wanted to free all
the slaves on the south side" he an.
swcred.
But" says the librarian, before
we lagh at his ignorance it might be
well for us to consider how much
we know about Polish history-n
