TWO GIRLS.

There was a girl who always said
Her fate was very hard;
From the one thing she wanted most
She always was deharred.
There always was a clouded spot
Somewhere within her sky;
Nothing was ever quite just right,
She used to say, and sigh.
And yet her sister, strange to say,
Whose lot was Just the same,
Found something pleasant for herself
In every day that came.
Of course. things tangled up sometimes,
For just a little while;
But nothing ever stayed all wrong,
She used to say, and smile.
So one girl sighed and one girl smiled,
Through all their lives together;
1t didn't come from luck or fate,
From clear or cloudy weather.
The reason lay within their hearts,
And colored all outside;
One chose to hope and one to NOPE,
And so they smiled and sighed:
Pure Words.

Boom Your Home Town.

If You have made up your mind to live
in city, then stand up for it, and If you
know positively no good, then silence is
golden. Do all you can to help along
every man who is engaged in legitimate
business, Do not send away for every
thing nice you want and still expect the
home dealer to keep stock to suit the
whim OF one or two customers. The
success of your fellow townsmen will be
your success No man livetb to him
self alone and no man does business in
dependent OF his fellow business men.
Take your home papers. Do not imag-
ing that the big dailies contain all the
news. There are many little items that

cial sunshine that the big dailies do not
print. Do not abuse your neighbor.

Mrs. Hahn, who looked remarkably
hale and happy, was assisted in the re-
ception of the guests by her daughters,
Mrs. Babcock and Mrs. L. G. Whittet.
The rooms were supplied with an album
dance of flowers, remembrances from
many friends. American beauties, pink
roses. tulips and English violets filled
the rooms with their fragrance. A large
bowl of eighty carnations attracted spec
ial attention. The gathering was of an
informal character, the guests circulat-
ing freely IN social intercourse. Music
was supplied during he afternoon by
the Misses Lucille and Kathleen Culton
violinists, and Miss Sewell, pianist. A
dainty luncheon was served 10 the din
ing room which was prettily decorated
in white and green asparagus.
In addition to the flowers, the ladies
presented the hostess with several beau
tiful pieces of china and glassware. Mrs.
Woodruff of GAINESVILLE and Mr.. and Mrs.
Babcock of Chicago were among the out
of town guests.
Mrs. Hahn as one of the oldest and
most honored residents of Edgerton, is
we'll known to all. Her large circle OF
friends heartily congratulate her on
reaching such ripe age, and trust that
she may see many recurring years of
happiness and prosperity.

Concerning Rabies.

From bulletin issued by the state
board of health we take the following
extract:
There is some uneasiness manifested
in certain localities in the state concern
ing the presence of rabies. Rabies, at
the best. is always dangerous disease
and every precaution should be exercised
to stamp it out Immediately upon it's ap-
pearance.
The money losses from rabies may
from time to time reach very high fig
ure; an occasional Fatality in human
being makes it all the more dreaded.
The disease is easily transmitted from
one domestic animal to another, either
through bites or through saliva. If an
animal dies of rabies and it's flesh is al
lowed to be consumed by other animals,
these animals are liable to contract the
disease in this manner. 1t is therefore
extremely important that all animals
dead from rabies be completely burned
or very deeply buried and large quaint
ties of lime thrown over the carcass be-
fore being covered.
Bedding used by rabid animals and
remains of food stuffs, etc, should be
destroyed by burning. All other articles
coming in contact with or near the ami
mails suffering from rabies should be
washed in per cent. solution of car
bolic acid and exposed to the sun for
three or four days thereafter. The
woodwork and entire environment should
receive similar treatment, followed with
a good coat of whitewash or paint.
The period CT incubation rarely ex-
ceeds sixty days in any animal. The
average period is as follows: In man
forty-five days; in dogs, twenty to forty
days; in horses, twenty six to fifty six
days; in cats, fifteen to thirty days; in
pigs, fifteen to twenty one days; in goats
twenty to twenty eight days; in birds
fourteen to forty days.
Only about 20 per cent Of the animals
bitten by rabid dogs become infected
This ratio is probably also true in man
Therefore, 20 per cent. of human indi
viduals bitten by rabid dogs or other
rabid animals develop hydrophobia. A
dog or other animal showing symptoms
of rabies should be completely isolated
at once. Such animals should not be
killed, not at least, until the disease is
we'll developed so that the diagnosis is
positive.
