He KILLED THE HOG.
Mr.. BagweII's Porkers Exhausted Mr..
divers Patience.

An interesting hog killing case set
for trial in the city court this morn
ing did not come to trial and will pro-
badly not be tried as an effort
is being made to settle the mat
ter out of court Last week s. r. Bag
well swore out a warrant for the arrest
OF s. J. Oliver, charging him with shoot
ing one of his hogs. Both of the inter-
ested parties in the case are farmers
living near RossVille.
1t is claimed that the complaining
witness in the case, Mr.. BagweT has
drove of hogs that have a habit of
breaking out of their pens and foraging
on of his neighbor. It also appears that
the defendant in the case. Mr.. Oliver,
has field of corn which he is very
proud of and that same field of corn also
looks good to the BagweI drove of hogs,
and as often as opportunity offers they
manage to make visit to the field.
One morning not so very long ago, in
fact it was last week. Mr.. Oliver took
down his shotgun and started through
his field of corn, partially to note the
improved condition of the growing crop
and partially to see if he could not bag
young rabbit for the evening meal
He was at peace with the world and
whistled as he walked through the
growing corn. but his pleasure was
rudely broken by the snort of a young
porker as he made a rush through the
tall corn for the hole in the fence that
had allowed him ingress to the field.
Then the field seemed to be full of hogs
of various sizes and descriptions This
was too much for the temper of Mr.. Oil
yer and he raised his gun and took the
life of the nearest hog and breathed a
sigh of satisfaction. But this was not
to be the end of the story for his neigh
Dor, Bagwell, Immediately hied himself
to the city of Topeka and swore out the
warrant which is now causing business
in the city court It is certain that if
there is a cross combination that will
cause old friends to part and friend
ships of lifetime to sever, that it is a
drove of hogs in the other mans corn
field.

A Chfld,s Breathing.

In the July Delineator, DR.. Grace
Peckham Murray has some remarks
on the care of the nose and the mouth
that will be read to their profit by all
mothers OF proper breathing she
says: IF there are distractions in
either the mouth or the nose which
prevent the free Introduction of air
the blood is not aerated as it should be.
and the whole bodily nutrition suffers
in consequence The trouble occa-
stoned by such a condition is much
greater in a child than in an adult. IF
q child is not growing we'll if he is
pale and puny, the nose and mouth
and throat should be examined to dis
cover if there are any obstacles to free
breathing Between the nose and the
throat, and generally out of sight, are
spongy growths called 'adenofds.' Thew
interfere more effectually with the free
entrance of air than anything else. and
as they exist unseen they are often the
unsupported cause of child's IN
health If the child breatfes with the
mouth open, and not through the nose.
they are likely to be present. If there
are many of these growths they give
rise to catarrhal DISCHARGES from tF,e
nose, and they will also interfere with
the hearing. They sometimes occasion
the swelling of the gland of the NECK
and cause Inflammation which results
in open sores. Children suspected NJ
having these growths should be taken
to surgeon to be examined The
main thing to be borne in mind is that
the only proper way for a child = ~
breathe is through the nose.'

John j. Jones Has Hired Lawyer to
Sue Nan Patterson.

New York, Aug 24-John j.
Jones, a caterer in the Tombs
prison, has retained Attorney c. F.
Kingsley to sue Nan Patterson for the
return of a rabbits foot, the talisman
of the Tombs, lent to the actress during
her trial for the murder of Caesar

Used the rabbits foot when Nan returns.
Abraham Levy, who defended Miss
Patterson, tried to get the talisman for
Jones, but was unable to find her. She
failed to reply to letters from Jones.
Among the occupants of "Murderers'
Row. who wore the talisman, are: Ro-
land B. Molineux, DR.. Samuel J. Ken
nedy William Leonard, William Coyne
and Florence Burns. Coyne, who shot
a man named Burke. received only six
months Imprisonment. The other
wearers of the talisman escaped final
conviction.
A retired bookmaker named Sheehan
was the original owner of the rabbits
foot. Jones. who has been a caterer in
the TombS for twenty-one years, and
Sheehan were discussing Molineux one
day, when the bookmaker said: 'tGive
this rabbits foot to him. It has been
my charm, and I have made my pile.
The rabbit to which it belonged was
run down by dozen horses in the
back stretch of Cedarhurst track more
than twenty years ago. It's left hind

Hooper Young, convicted f~the muir
