il Is a matter or regret, however,

standpoint says the Home Finder.
This is apparent when one rides
through the country and notes the
number of homes that show only too
plainly the evidences of neglect by
those who own them The lack OF
home pride means an utter lack OF the
higher and better qualities OF citizen

The neglected home means. as a rule.

Danville. Pa.-The skeleton OF a
mouse, a bandanna handkerchief and
other articles of a curious nature,
found IN the stomach of dead man,
have furnished a puzzle for the resi-
dent physician and his assistants at

John Alexander ia whose stomach

found. died in the hospital recently,
and his body was sent 10 Philadelphia.

Anatomical society. il was examined
Danville physicians say the case Of
Alexander stands alone in medical an

not that the man should have swal-
lowed the things found in him, but
that he could have lived two years
after the carcass of a mouse had dis
integrated in his stomach which is
believed 10 be the case.
Alexander was a foreigner and had
been in the hospital for two years. He
had no relatives in this country. He
had complained OF abdominal pains.
and the hospital physicians were un-
able 10 diagnose his case. He was
classed with the harmless" insane.
