Crowd Dances With Joy.


Crowd Dances With Joy.
Within a short time the party ar
rived at the Whitla residence where
a second large crowd, which had con-
gregated in the morning, was in evil
dence. AS the cab and cheering
throng were sighted, those surround
ing the Whitla home shouted and
danced with joy. When the boy and
his father attempted to alight from
the cab they were in the midst of a
remarkable demonstration. Tears
were in many eyes and all Sharon
seemed mad with Joy.
With difficulty the father, boy and
others of the party succeeded in ex-
Treating themselves from the crowd
and went into the house. Here the
mother, who had been patiently wait
ing with happy anticipation since
Monday night to see her boy, affec-
tionately ciasped her child to her
breast and for several minutes they
chung to one another and sobbed.
"My boy! My dear, dear boy, you
are back in mothers arms" Crying
and hugging the little fellow, the
mother showered him with kisses and
seemed reluctant to leave him from
her arms to answer the calls Of the
multitude gathered in front of the
house.

After being in the house five min

his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. BUM,
and his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Whitla, both of them over 81
years old, came to the front porch.
The crowd cheered and rushed toward
the house. For moment it seemed
as though some of the people would
be crushed. They were restrained by
the detectives. however, and consented
to keep still while the family posed
for a. photograph. AS soon as TINS was
over. the demonstration broke forth
again. Willie climbed to the raining
surrounding the porch, and, apparently
paving no attention to the sred'
crowd. yelled to several school COM
nanions whom he saw in the street.

The Growth OF Cities..

The century just passed has wit
messed an enormous multiplication of
large cities and their rapid growth.
In 1901 there were in all Europe but
twenty-five cities of more than 100.-
900 inhabitants, of which only Lon
don and Paris had more than 500, 600,
and more reached a million. At pres
ent there are $50 cities of more than
100000 inhabitants. fifty-five above
100000. and seven of more than a
million. In the entire world there
are thirteen cities of million or
more inhabitants, including the Euro
pean seven. NJ de Foville, French
student of comparative statistics, at
tributes this unprecedented increase
to the fact that the combined efforts
of science, industry and invention
have actually changed the face of the
world. Chemistry, steam and cleo.
tricity, railways and steamships, gold
and credit have all appeared during
this period and have given both to
men and 60 affairs an impulse like
the stroke of magic wand. - San,

TOO MUCH HAY.

Heaves is a disease much too COM
mon, and my observation has led me
TO the conclusion that larger per-
centage of farm horses suffer from
this malady than in the towns and
cities of our country; and the rea-
son for this is, in my opinion, due
to the fact that large number Of
our farmers feed too much hay.
No horse requires mere than one
fun feed of hay once in the twenty
four hours. When farm horses are
working every day they are subject
TO just this condition, because they
have not time either at their morn
ing or noon meal to eat too much
hay, but in winter they often stand
all day with hay before them all the
time. A horse to be in perfect health
should have the stomach emptied of
the previous meal for two or three
hours before he is given another
1t such is not the case, digestion will
not take place in perfect manner,
and disease is likely-to result. There
