MARR|ES AN ESKIMO
Son Of New York Lawyer Re.
ceives Parents Blessing.
Love So Far Overwhelmed Young
Woman From Far North That
She Could Not Keep Up
With Her Studies.

North Tonawanda, N. Y.-Misa
Rachel B. Blake, an Eskimo, and
Clyde B. Simson, son of Attorney w.
B. Simson, n of Tonawanda's lead.
Ing lawyers and for many years a
power in local politics, were married
the other night at the home Of the
bridegroom's parents. Their romance
had its inception in Mechanics insti-
tute in Rochester, N. Y.
DR.. w. T. Grenfell, a missionary,
stationed in Labrador. thought that it
would be an excellent idea to have
Miss Blake educated in America for
the purpose of teaching her people.
Preparations were made and the girl
advanced at an astonishing rate in her
studies, until she fell in love with the
Tonawanda student at the Rochester
Institute last fall.
From the time Cupid's, dart i'm.
bedded itself in her heart she began
to lose interest in her studies. De.
spite the efforts Of her tutors the girl
seemed to lose all interest In every.
thing except her love for Simson.
Miss Blake would have graduated this
year, but the prospects of securing a
diploma that would make her a full
aedged teacher had no charms for
her. The situation did not affect Sim.
son in the same manner. but he was
enamored of the charming student
from the far north. He kept man.
fully at his studies, for he, too. was
to graduate this year. Her guardian
was finally appealed to in an effort
to effect a compromise between love
and duty in the girls case, but Miss
Blake could not be prevailed upon to
study in order to keep up with her
work. She was finally required to
leave the institute.
She was without relatives in this
country or means of support, and Sim:
son came to the rescue. He finally
summoned courage. called up his IA
Their over the telephone, made a full
breast Of the whole business and SO
icited his parents advice.
why, my boy, this is a real sur.
prise, indeed" replied the father, "but
you just send the girl to us and we
will care for her until you are able"
When Simson confded the glad tt.
aings to his sweetheart the girl was
radiant with joy. When the gradua.
ton exercises had been finished and
Simson had been provided with his
diploma he fastened to his home and
sweetheart. Preparations were made
tor the wedding of the young couple.
He is 20, while she is 10.

Ellis Gilbert of the First Presbyterian
church. They will make their home

REMEDY FOR KICKING cow
Often Tedious and DIfFIcult Task-AT-
raneement That 10 Effective
Harmless and Simple.

To cure a kicking COW is often diff
flcult and tedious task, and. unless
some method of restraining them from
kicking is adopted, more loss than
profit may result through split milk.
The person milking also runs consider
able risk of injury in some form or
other.
When the cause of kicking can only
be assigned to vice or an acquired bad
habit, the following little arrangement
will be found useful, and, at the same
time, simple, harmless, effective, mex
pensive and easily applied: A strap
about one inch wide should be buckled
round each hind leg little above the
hook, sufficiently tight to compress
the hamstring.
The animal cannot kick, and IL flies
are troublesome and cause her to
switch her tail, the best plan Is to
either strap 1t to her leg or secure II
to one OF the straps with piece OF
cord. Use the straps every time the
animal is MIXED, and after three
i weeks or so omit, to ascertain whether
a cure has been effected or not.-Irist

of the valley of Bareton, in Bearn,
the crime taking place on the high
pasture lands Of Arlas, In the Pr

to bring the murderers individually
to Justice, and the Spaniards were pre-
pairing to make war upon the valley
from which the French murderers
had come, when the French villages
proposed that peace be maintained at
the price of a yearly tax or tribute.

sition was accepted.

How to Feed skim MIX to Pigs.

On any farms where pigs are raised
and skim milk is available 1t may be
fed with profit in connection with
grains of various kinds. To use the
skim milk without the grain is not
getting the best out of it. The usual
plan of feeding skim milk to a pig
from two to three months old is to
make a mixture of middlings or
ground corn with five times the guam
tity of skim milk; this ration furnishes
about the same nutriment that does
the milk of the SOW, and the pigs will
thrive on It, Some of the pig raisers
try a ration consisting of one part OF
middlings, one part Of oil meal and
four parts of ground corn, mixed with
water in lieu of skim milk, and find II
fairly satisfactory. Considerable care
must be used in the feeding of young
pigs and it pays to arrange a ration
which will keep them growing as stur
Oily as possible.

The discovery was made by man

the account of It sent from Jerusalem
by Prof Macalister to the Palestine
exploration fund:
.''When Musa went to his land and
was working and digging in It he
found little door, He entered by II
into cave divided into two chambers
and entering through the second door
he found a coffin of hardwood.
"And he opened 1t, and in the CONN
was another of crystal, And he broke
this and inside 1t he found one Of the
old queens embalmed. and ON hel
head crown adorned with precious
stones and on her neck q necklace o
pearls and three chains beside on he

.lNFANnLE PLAGUE IN HENS
Form Of Paralysis Which BafIles
Physicians and Scientists Attacks
Fowls In Maryland.

Infantile paralysis, the dread dis
ease which is banning physicians and
scientists and which is epidemic in
the vicinity of Bethesda, Nd, is ex-
tending its ravages tc poultry along
the Washington-Rockvil turnpike.
More than 100 fowls have died in
agony corresponding to that produced
in humans by the disease, all of them
showing symptoms of paralysis at the
time of death. Each day the number
of affected increases. according to
physicians and residents of that oom-
munity.
On the estate of Morgan H Beach,
former district attorney, 35 chickens
were stricken with the disease and
died. At the residence of Henry J..
Hunt III, who himself Is afnicted with
the disease, two chickens have been
made blind, and on the r.. G. Drum
estate i've ducks, after running about
the yard all night, giving evidence OF
extreme suffering, were found in the
morning huddled together dead. II Is
the opinion of DR.. ]. L. Lewis, who
within the last 10 weeks has treated
six cases of infantile paralysis among
humans, that the duckg and chickens
! died from the disease, and that the
J epidemic is spreading among fowls o.
the barnyard.
Fear Of spreading the maladJ
among the people of Bethesda and vi
cinity has placed ban on chicken al
| a table staple. From almost ever!
} farm in that part of Maryland, DR.
, Lewis says, he is receiving reports o
!, the mysterious and sudden death o
fowls, and he feels certain that tn
disease is responsible for the loss.
: II am working on the suppositiol
that these fowls are infected with IN
fantile paralysis" said DR.. Lewis, IAN
1t is quite possible that the diseas
has been communicated to person
along the turnpike through such II
lection. The symptoms, SO far as
have been able to determine, are tn
same as those Of the disease !
humans.
within the last ten weeehs l hav
had six cases and all occurred In sci
arate households, the members
which had no communication with tn
members of any other afflicted fam
lies. This would leave room for tn
theory that the fowls are the agent
of communication of the disease, an
that those dying now have the ma
ady."

LIVELY TIME WITH PYTHON
Grew on British Gunboat Has Exciting
Experience When Reptile
Breaks Loose.

Once when the British gunboat Rat
tier was in eastern waters the crew
had q lively time looking after q
python on board that got loose.
Besides the python there was on
board a big Borneo orangoutang. The
python, which was 10 or 20 feet Ia
length, having dined heartily on Q
deer about three weeks before, began
to feel its appetite returning, and in
searching about its box for place Of
egress found one side in bad repair.
1t did not take the python long to
come through the weak part, and
quite unobserved, 1t began its peram'
bulations around the boat.
Seeing the orangoutang chained w
few yards OF, the big snake invited
itself to a dinner very much to It'll
taste. It would have been all over
with the orangoutang had not the
| quartermaster at that moment made
the discovery that the two pets were
about to be merged into one. He
promptly cut the orangoutang loose.
The latter was up the masthead be
fore any mischief could be done, and
a lieutenant, the proprietor Of tbs
orangoutang, the quartermaster, ana
member of the crew flung themselves
upon the hungry python-one at tn
head, another at the tail, and thir'
in the middle.
Then the fun began, for the pythol
wanted to get one of the aggressor
nicely in its coils, and the men wer
determined 1t should be kept out i
something as nearly approaching
straight line as possible.
For a minute 1t was the Laocoo
group all over again, only In this cas-
the three men and the snake wer
sprawling over the deck instead
standing upright in classic attitude
Reinforcements, however, arrived
hot haste, and about 20 bluejacket
each embracing a foot of python, r.
duced the reptile to comparativ
quiescence. The procession marche
back to the python's box, coiled tn
, creature inside, and shut it up. B'
the orangoutang sat aloft in the mas
head a long time before he came
, the conclusion that he was OF II

Cows require from one to eight

concentrates they receive the more
salt they require. 1t should be where
they can have access to it every day.
According to an experiment made at
