A REMARKABLE OPERATION.
Farmer Grated Live Rabbit to In.
jured Horses Shoulder.

Farmer Grated Live Rabbit to In
jured Horses Shoulder.
Elmer Purdy, local farmer, who
is also something OF horse and COW
doctor, has just succeeded in perfect.
Ing cure which is attracting consid.
cradle attention hereabouts, says the
New York World. The method used
is not new, but so far as known 1t has
never been applied to a horse.
Several weeks ago a valuable roam
colt belonging to Purdy ran into a
barbed-wire fence and lacerated Its
Off shoulder. The wound did not seem
to be serious and the usual methods
for healing were applied. For time
the wound got along well enough, but
later developed into running sore and
the colt went lame. Some of the shoul.
der muscles were affected and 1t look.
ed as though the animal would have
to be killed.
Purdy tried all the remedies he
knew Of, but they did not good, and
finally he determined to graft live
hare onto the leg over the wound. He
therefore set box trap in the woods,
baited it with popple bark and car.
rot and caught n lively jack rabbit.
Purdy then undertook to etherize the
bunny, for fear that the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
which is particularly active in Rutland
County, would step in and make things
disagreeable for him. Not being an
expert in administering ether he killed
the hare.
Later on he caught second rabbit
and was more successful, etherlzing II
properly. When this had been done a
slit was made in the skin along the
side and the fur pulled back far
enough to cover the sore on the colts
shoulder. The wound was then bathed
with n solution of corrosive subllmato
to sterilize it ard the rabbit bound in
such a way rs to completely cover the
same. The skin was then stitched to
the horses hide and the colt was
swung off his feet that. he might not
lie down and crush the hare.
When bunny came to his senses he
seemed astonished, but made no eff
fort to get away. The colt looked
around Mt him in equal surprise, but
the warm body added to his comfort
and he offered no objection. The hare
was fed regularly and for the most
part remained quiet. 1t was necessary
to bind down his hind legs, as he was
given to kicking. but, on the whole,
he took matters philosophically.

An Unfriendly Feeling.

A philanthropist Of Louisville was
talking about the late DIR. Barnardo,
whose whole life was devoted to the
helping of slum children.
"Dr. Barnardo," he said, was MS
interesting as he was good. To con-
verse with him was rare privilege.
Certain of his ideas were once at
tackedb by philanthropic young noble
man; youth with many millions and
much enthusiasm, but very little mod
esty or tact.
"Dr. Barnardo naturally felt rather
bitter toward this rich and inexperi-
enced ani presumptuous intruder.
"I feel towards him. he said to
me, as the barber feels toward the
man who shaves himself. You know
what that feeling is, don't your

Two Women Authors.

Miss Mary Johnston, the celebrated
southern novelist, who is very fire.
quently in Washington, is sad ply
steal wreck, the victim Of too siren
uous success operating on a frail
vitality. She said to number of
people who met her this summer and
autumn at Warm Springs, Va, where
she had gone in search of health, that
she never hoped TO be well and strong
again, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. She is pale, pathetic lit
tie creature, with wistful appealing
face and large brown eyes, set intel
lectually far apart. She has realized
handsome profits from her books.
Another southern writer, Amelia
Rives. the Princess Troubetskoy, who
was in physical eclipse for number
of years, has renewed her youth and
uncommon beauty and looks like girl
of 10 instead Of the woman of 40 that
statistics show her to be. She ascrlbes
it all to the idyllic existence she leads
at her ancestral country home in Vir1
ginia, where she and her prlncely'
husband love to dream away the hours.
II believe entirely in the simple life,"
exclaimed this charming woman. Pm
into bed at 0 and out of it at Z. What
would your fashionable women think
Of such regiment" she laughed. The
forceful beauty of her recent poem
"Selene" is an advance in literary
strength and grace over anything the
lovely lady has ever done.

this poor boy was AWAY from his
brother and sister," she thought. 10
Lord, forgive me for thinking SO much
Of my own desiresl. I'll try to use my
legacy in way that will be pleasing
to Thee"
Then she stepped forward and
touched the boy gently on the shoul-
der. He started nervously, but when
he saw who 1t was, smiled through his
tears.

said, tenderly, "and the Lord will care

ther discovery that instead OF her
ankle being entangled in the picket
rope, 1t was the snake which was en-
twined around her ankle. The rep
tile coiled SO tightly and was of such
weight that the young lady was
thrown violently to the ground.
Finally gaining her freedom from
the monster, which she was able to
shake off only after superhuman eff
forts, she continued her flight toward
home.
In her haste she stepped on rusty
nail, which penetrated the flesh to the
depth Of about two inches. Blood
poison set in and only by the hardest
kind Of work was the life of the young
woman saved.

Miss Marie Czerney, daughter Of
prominent residents of Bon Homme

ture with a monster snake, as the
result of which she narrowly escaped
death by blood poison, by stepping on
Il rusty nail while striving to escape
from the snake, says the st. Paul
Dispatch.
The young woman, with a pail in
her hand, went to her favorlte Jersey
for the purpose Of doing her evening
milking. During the day the animal
had been picketed in tame grass

MINERS STRIKE NOTES.

Anthracite miners offered to refer the
dispute to the present arbitration
board with Judge Gray or his ap-
pointee as umpire, but the operators
may veto the plan.
John II. Winder, president of the BIZ
luminous Operators association of
Ohio, has proposed arbitration for the
settlement of the strike in the bitumin-
Gus districts, including Ohio, western
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois.
At meeting in Pittsburg, Pa, of
the independent soft coal operators
who organized to fight the granting of
the 1903 scale, a majority OF the oper-
ators decided to sign.
A shortage of almost 75,000,0 900 tons
of coal is certain if the strike con-
tinues.
The coal companies supplying the
Chicago public schools with soft fuel
informed the board of education mat
they cannot deliver any more Illinois
and Indiana coal while the strike lasts.
Coal production in eight states west
OF Pennsylvania is entirely suspended,
according 10 officers of the Illinois OPP
orators association.

Butter Shipments.

eggs to the East by the Minnesota
dairymen and farmers. Until frost
comes again the product will be ship

weather the expectation of butter and
eggs is light. Butter is already going

900 pounds week, and in a few days
the quantity will be doubled.

Dupeci the People.

st. Peter.-It has just developed that
a dozen or more farmers living in the
vicinity of the village of CORTLAND are
losers to the extent Of $4,000 or $4,000
through the discovery that mining
stock in which they invested is alb
solutely valueless. They put their
savings into a piece of property in
Idaho, but 1t has been learned that
the mine never existed except in the
literature of thu promoter.
One young man threw up a paying
position with a creamery and put all
his savings, amounting to some $4,000,
into the company, and another, a rail-
way telegrapher, was good for $1,000.
The latter was the first to discover
the swindle. One of the conditions I'M
der which he bought his stock was that
he was to be given a position by the
company and he was taken west by the
promoter After few months his re-
mittances for salary stopped coming
and his chief disappeared.
