RAINS CHILD GOES
 10 PASlEUR INSTITUTE
How the Parents Fooled Away VaIu-
 able Time.

The story was told by the Republi- can a few days ago of a little child of Thomas Rains. a Iaborer, who was bitten by a dog which it was thought had been bitten by hydrophobia skunk. Rains formerly was in the employ of P Neville. who is better known as Lord Neville. It was decid- ed that the child should be taken to the Pasteur institute at Chicago, MT Nev- ille offered to pay not only the eXDens- es of the journey including the treat ment but also to let Rains wages go on> MT. Neville since then has put in the most of his time trying tO get Rains started with the happy result told in the following letter to Dr. Lagoria at the institute
 Phoenix. Arizona May 2S.
 pr. Antonio Lagoria, Pasruer Instj- tute, Che 'cagO.-Dear Sir: I aTu in re- ceipt of your telegram of May 21 On May 22 relegraphed YOU ''or:e hua':- red dollars fec for treatment to be applied to the Rains child.
 The history of the case is this: Thos Rains came to my service Tuesday. May IS. Sunday May 20 a Mexican handed h:m a letter in my presence, which informed him a dog hal bitten
  ed a fear that it was too late to eau terize the wounds: I gave him SIP, his wages, at S% a day till Monday. He drove to his home II miles off to take his child tC a doctor which the MeXica.- woman neglected to fiG. The dog bit the child at o'clock Saturday night, May 19. On Monday Thos. Rains came back. Doctor Mouer of Tempe had said it was too late to cauterize the wounds that the Pasteur Institute of Chicag was the one chance the child had and the limit of time for that six and one half days since Saturday at o'clock May 19. The wound was bad one and at the temple The dog had had two fights with a hydro phobia skunk and had been badly bitten. MT. Rains thought the Pasteur institute out of his reach. He wanted to stop in my service till Saturday fol- lowing and visit the child having abandoned all hope of saving the childs life. This I would not allow after a hasty lunch we had to drive to Phoenix, arriving five minutes before the bank closed it's doors. I drew $2OO, giving Rains $50. I bade him catch that nights train for Chicago. I wired ! your institute what the minimum 1
 
 was. I drove home Tuesday. I rode in | and got your telegram, "one hundred | dollars" l immediately wired you one hundred dollars after which l called | Dr. MOuer of Tempe over a long dis ! tance telephone. l showed the receipt | to little Fred and sent him home on ! the blackboard to see if his father had | gone to Chicago. Wednesday, May 23. | l found Fred catching horses in the | field. He had come back with his | father. His account was the children | all cried about him, would not let him | take the child. His wife is of Moorish ! descent and having the pronounced fla talism of the MoOrish race, she be- lieved that if the child was to die it would die; and nothing could prevail upon her to part with it. We talked to Dr. Craig over the telephone, he gave the information desired as to period for inoculation. He said the minimum was six or seven days and the maximum three months, it was then o'clock. The child was at his nome II miles away it would not have been possible to catch the S:15 train which takes two and one half days to reach Chicago and as the 12:3O train takes three days. he remained over night. In the morning I told him in he presence of my neighbours that he was going to Chicago by my command. at my expense, that while there he
