Joseph Balls cow. usually kindly
and doclle creature, got into his orchard
az south Norwalk, Conn, and gorged on
cider apples, which strewed the autumn

Iermented in the cows midst, for when
Ball tried to drive her from the orchard,
| she pursued him and butted his back so
hard that she injured his spinal cord.
| BAH was taken to Norwalk hospital suf-
| ferlng from paralysis of the lower limbs.
After cavorting around for an hour, the

! President Hines of the Southern Col
/ lege at Albion, Ill.,, has issued an order
! that any student of the school found

became numerous and country parties
| multiplied to such an extent that the fac

| of the students threaten to leave the
/ school.
within the last nine months there have
been seven homicides in the county, 4
says the Hyden Qky.l Thousandsticks.
ssThat seems to have broken all records
within our knowledge. The usual num-
| Der of homicides that have occurred in
such a short time cannot hardly be ac-
counted for and cannot be accused to no
one cause. 1t seems of Late that if there
| is a row that the participants have been
| so unlucky as to get killed or kill their
man. 1t used to be you could hear OF
| a big row, a shooting or a cutting up
every now and then and no one killed.
| but of late it seems that our people
! have lost the art of keeping up a gen
eral row for half a day at time and
not hurting any one very badly"
One occasionally reads of a cat that
| adopts chickens or pups or some other
entertaining pets, but usually the story is
| taken with certain discreet doubt. Pc

brother who has a remarkable cat which
/ undertakes the job of educating all the
chickens on his place. The brother is
| Israel English of Benton Harbor, Mich
- - \
| since then it has cared for all the chick
ems as tenderly as their own mothers
| could do. Whenever a new brood is
| Matched the cat is not content until il
| is allowed to care for them, and if TINS
permission is not readily granted, pussy
walks about the coop until it coaxes the
chickens away from their mothers.

got so hungry for a sight of the little
fellow that one day l travelled to East
Liverpool, o., where my wife had gone
to conduct services. l offered her all
the money l had with me, $40, if she

minutes time it was snatched away
again By my Wife
The court ordered Leonard to pay his

The examination of Joseph c. Rowley
of New York, in the Tombs court. re-
vealed the denouement of a stirring tele-
phone romance which began when Row
