goslings. Mrs. Ines Lockwood, of
Decker, out of curiosity, set the largest

field, tearing out one end of the stable
near where several horses were stand
ing, four feet below the barn floor, in
bank stalls After the stroke of light

A pair of wood thrushes have built
nest and are now raising their young
| in a climbing rose bush against the
house of Mrs. NJ. H. Mayhood, of
Lyons. The circumstance is remark
able, as the wood thrush delights in
deep shady glens and in dark woods,
and is seldom seen near the haunts of
men. Its soft, half plaintive notes are
equal in sweetness to those of any
other American bird.
Thieves that evidently have found a
market elsewhere for Boston terriers
are stealing this breed of dogs in large
numbers at Muncie, to the neglect of
all other kinds. The express compa-
mics in that city are notified daily not

notified. A few weeks ago many Scotch
collies were stolen. Then all other
breeds but Scotch collies were safe

Eight cows belonging to Byrne FOL
lerman, living near Walton, ten miles
south of Logansport, which were bit
ten by a rabid dog a fortnight ago,
went mad and frantically raced about
the pasture, humping into and knock
ing down other stock. They finally be-
came so violent and the danger of af-
fecting other cattle became so great,
that they were shot. Other live stock
was bitten by mad dogs couple of
weeks ago and since the Zollerman
COWS went mad, alarm is felt by farm
ers throughout the district.

| Uncle Jesse Eggers, aged 92 years,
who lives west of New Maysville, Put
nam County, has just made his annual
visit to Danville, on horseback. For
years it has been his custom to make
the trip in this manner and no matter
what comes up to disarrange his plans
he invariably succeeds in carrying
out this part of the program. The aged
man is amply able to ride in as good
a buggy as could be made, or even
make the trip in his own automobile,
should he so desire, but he insists on
saddling his trusty horse and making
the journey of thirty miles on the ami
mails back. He has an easy going
horse and a saddle that has been in
service many years. For one of his
age the trip is regarded as remarkable,
but Mr.. Eggers says that he thoroughly
| enjoys the exercise and that after he
yets home he feels as spry as a two
| car-old.
