"In Duluth down on the docks some

where that your vessel was once struck
by lightning while sailing, sailing over
the bounding main?'
T" Yep, twice. said Captain 81. Hap
pened off Point AUX Barques bout fif-
teen years ago. We were joggin' long
when a thunderstorm overlook us, and
the very first flash of Hghtnin' struck
the deck amidships and bored a hole
as big as my right leg right down
through the bottom Of the vessel
"'And she foundered, of courseY i
"tNo, sir. The water began rushin'
in, and she would have foundered, but
there came second fash, and bolt
struck my foreto' gallant mast. It
was cut off near the top, turned bot
tom end up, and as It came down it
entered the hole and plugged it up as
tight as a drum. When we got down
to drydock we supply sawed of either
end and left the plug In the planks.' "

SYMPTOMS or RABIES.

Sisns by Which You May Know hhsn
Dog Is Really Md.
Hydrophobia is SO rare aud terrifying
that its symptoms and treatment are
little understood. AS matter of fact,
the commonly accepted expression OF
madness In a dog is often misleading.
The real mad dog does not shun wa
ter, as it is said. On the contrary.
mad dogs often rush to the water and
drink it eagerly, II they are able to
swallow. The mad dog does not 1roth
at the mouth. It does not run amuck,
swapping at everything In its path.
What, then, are the indications Of the
mad dog? TO those familiar with a
given dog the surest symptom and the
one which should excite closest atten-
tion is distinct and unaccountable
change in the dogs disposition, staid
dog becoming excitable and q .frisky
one dull. That condition does not nee
essarily mean rabies, but 1t is sus-
picious, and II in addition the dog has
trouble In swallowing, as though it
seemed to have a bone In its throat,
beware! That dog should be instantly
tied up, because II it be rabies It takes
but day or two for ferocious In
stincts to develop. The unmistakable
evidence, however, Of a dog with
rabies Is the sticky, whitish' saliva
which covers the teeth and shows on
the drawn lips. The eyes glare and
are red; the dog has paroxys1ns Of run
ming fury, during which it barks
hoarsely, which alternate with periods
Of temporary exhaustion. - Caspar

While the addition of such train would help this

to the freight traffic that would provided the Bur-

be done to be the general opinion among local rail
road men, the statement being made that largely
for this purpose that the connection has been built
While nothing absolutely definite be said as to
from the Northern Pacific to the Great Northern there is
every reason anticipate that the latter road will get
large share Of the business.
Under any circumstances the new connection means a
great deal to Whitesh but it, anticipated the Great
Northern gets practically all of the Burlington through
freight traffic. in addition to the extra passenger tran

there has been very little development,
