Little Fleenor Girl Taken to
 the Pasteur Institute.

Mrs. Fleenor left Wednesday evening for Los Angeles, being compelled to take her daughter there for treatment at the Pas teur Institute. 1t will be remem- bered by readers of the Mail that the little girl was bitten by a dog a week or so ago. Dr. Sampson sent the head of the dog to Chicago for expert treat ment and he received advice that the dog was infected with rabies. It was immediately decided to start the girl for Los Angeles. C. E. Cain, who was also bitten by the same dog, left at once for Chicago where he is now taking treatment.
 As a result of these cases there has been somewhat of scare developed in Winslow and the Board of Health, represented by Dr. Geo. P. Sampson, i'll con- junction with the Town Council, issued an order last Wednesday that all dogs must either be mug zled or kept in the yard, the pen alty being death to the dog. The order became effective Thursday morning and 1t IS now possible to get through the streets with out encountering various and divers sorts of CUTS. The owners of the better class of dogs have certainly taken prompt action in getting their dogs under con- trol and those that are allowed to roam the streets are wearing muzzles.

New City Hall Completed.

The new city hall is about con- pleted and the next meeting of the Town Council will probably be held in their own home. In addition to having a room for the city fathers, there is an addi- tional room in which the fire hose will be kept where it will be at all times under cover which will in itself mean considerable saving in the way of loss and damage to the hose. The key to the room where the hose IS stored is hung i'll a frame on the front of the building so that there need be no delay in getting out the apparatus.

 Where are you going?" inquired Calathumpia, the wife of Julius Caesar, as he fastened the gold safety pin in his toga and reached for his umbrella.
 q am going down to Rudolph March's cafe in the Forum an swered Julius; you don't need to wait lunch for me, Callie."
 But, Julius,' whispered CaIathum- pia; why do you spend so much time  at March's cafe in the Forum? It isn't a good place for you to go, my dear. Besides. there is always a bunch of lcafers hanging around that joint. Why don't you sit here at home with me in the cool Stadium and drink huttermilk with your loving Calathum- pia?

Catch the freckle just before going to bed and wrap the buttermilk around it.
 l was reading a book on the train the other day which attempted to put me wise to the reincarnation gag. It's far shout from buttermilk to rein carnation, Bunch, but maybe you need something like that last thing, after so much buttermilk.
 Reincarnation is a long. loose-look- ing word, and to perfect stranger 1t might sound suspicious. but it's bark is worse than it's bite.
 The idea of man being somebody else in a previous existence, then switching to another personality in the present, is interesting to think about, to say the least
 I've cooked up three or four studies along these lines which may interest you, Bunch!

 FIRST STUDY.
 The ghost Of Julius Caesar looked thresteningly at BrutBs, the Stabbist: Brutus sneered.

 Brutus used short, sharp laugh. You, he said, 'on your wayi"

 Caesar pulled his toga up over his cold shoulder.
 Brutus laughed again, and it was the saucy, triumphant laugh of the man who dodges in front of woman and grabs seat on the elevated rail road.
 "The next time we meet you will not do me as you did me at the base of Pompey's statue" said the ghost of Caesar, speaking for the first time since we began this study.
 We will not meet again because I refuse to associate with you," said Brutus.
 Caesar smiled, but 1t was without

 'The tides of March, whispered his wife; remember the tides of March!"
 Would this be the first tide I ever got from Msrch?" Julius whispered back
 The tides of March, remember . was her only answer; and away went Julius to the cafe in the Forum, giv. ing an imitation of Joe Weber whistling Girls Girls,'' from the Bur lesque of The Merry Widow" which was then running at the Amphitheater
 What happened in the Forum when the loafers used Julius Caesar for a pin-cushion everybody remembers.
 And when Julius dropped on the marble slab at the base of the bar he gasped out: Darn the luck, Why didn't l fall for the buttermilk which stingeth not, neither does 1t help peo- pie to bite the dust?'
 You won't find these exact words in history. Bunch, because Julius gasped them in Latin. and Latin hates to get itself translated.
 Many other times in the ages passed did buttermilk come to the surface, so you may take it from me, Bunch. that 1t is lucky to drink it.

 "Where?" asked Brutus.
 Tn the far, far future" said the ghost of Caesar, shriekingly. you will be born into the world again by that time, and in your new personality you will be one of the Common People, and you will burn gas.
 And you?" inquired Brutus. q will be the spirit which puts the ginger in the gas-meter, and may Heaven have mercy on your pocket book shrieked the ghost of Caesar Brutus took a fit, and used 1t for many minutes. but the ghost kept on shrieking in the Latin tongue.

 Napoleon stood weeping and wailing and gnashing his eyebrows on the battlefield of Waterloo.
 He was waiting for the moving picture man to get his photograph. The victorious Wellington made his
 
 sleeve.

 What does that mean?" asked Vel lington.
 "It means that the next time we meet I will do the swatting,' an swered Napoleon, bitterly.
 And when will that be?" inquired Wellington, laughing loudly.
 Tn the far, far future," replied the Little Corporal. You will then be one of the Common People" And what will you be-" Wellington asked.

France has spent 1903, 975, OOO
on national bodybuilding, has
contributed $S1.OO0,OO0 to the
construction of local roads and
probably has the best all-round
highway system of any nation in
the world,
Our own congress, getting
ready now to adjourn, authoriz-
ed a trivial $114.24O for road
building purposes, which gener-
GUS sum is to be used for the
up-keep of a good roads bureau
in Washington. ~
1t is more than a coincidence,
therefore, that America has the
poorest system of highways in
civilization, excepting a few Gen.
trail American states given to an
archy and graft, and those do
mains reaching toward the polar
regions where road building, as
the old man said. don't count
nohow.
For these figures, we are in
debted to a dispatch recently
published from our Washington
correspondent. He also drew
attention to the large amounts
spent by Great Britain on its
highway systems. sosia
While we are searching round
for an explanation as to the su-
periority of European over
American agriculture. and APP
pointing commissions at large
expense to probe the cost of liv-
ing, a little quiet investigation
into the road-making policies of
America and Europe might shed
light.
1t is lop-sided logic that would
make more efficient workman
OF the farmer and leave uncheck-
ed the toll he and the consumer
pay to bad roads and to no roads.
The federal constitution, we
are told, stands in the way. 1t
certainly does and has, from time
immemorial, when proposals
aimed largely at benefiting the
farmer are put forward.

cles of an insuperable nature
