The Ichneumon.
From the London Chronicle.

The finding Of live ichneumon in a con-
signment of bananas from Jamaica recaIls
the fact that it's ancestors also first reached
that island by, ship. Jamaica imported the
ichneumon to kill OF rats. but was disguise
ed to find IT equally fond Of poultry. and as
ready to devour hens eggs az 1t had been
In Egypt to dispose of those of the croco-
die. Ancient Egypt accordingly regarded
1t as q sacred animal. and Jamaica does
not. But the strangest thing that has be-
fallen the ichneumon Is its evolution into
being Greek for 'stracker," was translated
into Latin as "caicatrix." and the writers
who had never seen specimen became
vague as to the description of the beast
that was said to jump down the crocodile'e
throat and gnaw Its way out. They made

syllable of "cockatrice" developed the fab

RAILWAY BOYS HELP C0MRADE
Fireman Anderson, III and Short Of
Funds, is Taken Care of Here.

A pretty case of kindly charity
among the railroad boys of Norfolk
has come to light. J. ]. Anderson, a
locomotive fireman with headquarters
here, was taken seriously i'll with ty-
phOid fever and developed later Symp-
toms of pneumonia. He had, at the
time he laid off, a check for $S4, and
the check, naturally, was soon gone.
But Fireman Anderson did not suf-
fer from this account. Not while the
railroad boys of Norfolk had money in
their pockets. They took up a sub
scription among themselves to help
out Anderson, and for four weeks he
was tenderly cared for, with the best
of everything in the way of attention,
nursing, medicine and delicacies to
eat.
While the railroad boys themselves
will not talk about the case or tell
how much they took up for Anderson,
because they believe in guarding the
matter of charity as sacred, yet it is
known that they took up enough
among themselves to pay more than
$50 each week for a month toward
Anderson's care. The railway Off
cials here cheerfully contributed their
share
A few days ago Anderson was taken
back to his home in Illinois and re-
ports today indicate that he is rapidly
improving in condition.

Dixon TO consider the matter. Each
of them brought her instrument with
her and they spent the evening prac-
ticing. There are several more of the
original members of the band, who
were not there, and an attempt will
be made to secure them in the contem.
plated orchestra. 1t is probable that
the leader will be a young man in the
city, who has volunteered his services

Petersburg Index: w. N. Huse of
The Norfolk Daily News, George D.
Nelson of the Harrington Herald, and
Franklin Fales, eX-Chairman of the
central committee for McCarthy's first
congressional campaign, are the de-
PENDANTS in a libel suit brought by r.
S. Shelby of Ponca.
During McCarthy's first campaign
defamatOry charges were circulated
against him and it seems The News,
on the eve before election, published
a circular letter which came directly
from the headquarters of McCarthy's
congressional committee and which
said unkind things about Shelby. The
letter was vOuched for by the congress
sional committee who desired to refute
the charges made against Mccarthy.
About year later the man from Pom
ca started suit against The News for
$4,000, and Judge Boyd gave a deci.
sion for the defendant, and dismissed
the case. Shelby carried the case to
the supreme court which reversed the
decision on a technicality. The News
is now made the defendant once more
in the same case.
The case has stirred up no little in.
terest in northeast Nebraska news
paper circles and proceedings will be
watched with interest. However, the
evidence turned in at the former trial
was so one-sided that we fear Shelby
will never get sight of that $4,000 he
