LIKE THE WOLF AND LAMB
inoffensive Creatures Most Unjustly
Charged With Sudden Attack
of BIoodthirstness.

A man who was caught in the act
of skinning a neighbours sheep. COW
cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him and live.
The logic of this is equaled by that
Of the Yankee soldier who once had a
narrow escape from an enraged gan
der. The men of a certain Maine regl-
ment, which was in the enemy's coun-
try in 1862, considered the order mo
foraging" an additional and uncalled-
for hardship. One afternoon about
dusk, a soldier was seen beating a
rapid retreat from the rear Of a farm
house near by, closely pursued by
gander with wings outspread, whose
feet seemed scarcely to. touch the
ground, and from whose beak issued a
succession of angry screams. The
fugitive was not treasured by the cries
of the gander's owner: Hold on,
man, hold on He won't hurt you.
Call off your gander! Call him Off"
shouted the fleeing soldier. Neither
man nor gander stopped until inside
the camplines, when the soldiers
friends relieved him of his fierce pur-
suer with the aid of the butt OF a
musket. Did that gander think he
could chase me like that and live!"
| the soldier exclaimed, as he surveyed
the outstretched bird; but he said
nothing of the baited hook, with cod
line attached, which might have
thrown light on the unfortunate gan
der's strange actions.

STATE TAKES HAND IN FIGHT
New Jersey Leads In Advanced legis-
laton Designed to Check Speed
of tuberculosis.

What is designated by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
lion of tuberculosis as the most ad-
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state in the United
States, if not by any country in the
world, Is found in bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu-
lations laid down by the state board
Of health concerning the prevention of
their disease, and thus become men
ace to the health of those with whom
they associate, shall be compulsorily
segregated by order of the courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose
If such a patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations of the institu-
ton in which he is placed, he may be
isolated or separated from other per-
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro-
vides that al lcounties in the state
of New Jersey shall within six months
from April 1st make provision in spe-
cial institutions for the care OF all
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub
sidize each county to the extent of
$500 a week for each person main
tanned in these institutions, except
those who are able to pay for the cost
of maintenance.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

When my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when l removed his
shirt
I'VE tried great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. think the Cuticura Rem
ed1es will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more

Mont, JAN %, 1911. Although Cuti.
cura Soap and Ointment are sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere, a
sample of each, with 32-page book

This paper Is endeavoring to pillory

IN CONTEMPT CASE
Titanic Director and Mem
6 bers of Grew Outside of
Jurisdiction. II @.s

Prospects of contempt proceedings be-
ing Instituted against j. Bruce Ismay
managing director of the White Star
line, and the three officers who ignored
the subpoenas OF the District Supreme
court to appear before a special exam
iner are remote, owing to the fact the
Offenders are outside the jurisdiction of
the court and probably will not return.
Leaving the witness stand in the SEN
etc Investigation, Mr. 1smay let the i'm
lpression prevail that he was going to
his hotel, but rather hurried to the
Union Station and departed for New
York. He had been served with a sum-
mons to appear before Special Examiner
Ralph d. Quinter. at o'clock yester-
day afternoon, but failed to respond.
Joseph G. Boxhall, Charles II. Ligh-
toller, and Frederick Fleet, the first two
officers of the Inflated Titanic and the
latter a lookout. were the other intend
ed witnesses who defed the local court
and fed to New York. Harold s. Bride.
one Of the wireless operators, was not
found by the deputy marshals.
The officers we're wanted to give dep
,ostions in a prospective civil action to
be brought in the Admiralty Court IN
New York by Mrs. Louise Robins, wild
ow of George Robins. valet of John ia
cob Astor, victim of the sea tragedy,
against the Oceanic Steam Navigation
Company The proceedings were filed
by Attorneys Herbert & Micou.
Attorney Micou said today that he
would not press any contempt charges
against Mr.. Ismay and the others, as 1t
would be useless, as contempt proceed
ings are not criminal in nature and the
Offenders are beyond the reach of the
courts process. He declared however,
he would try to get the depositions ta-
ken in England or New York at later
date.
Boxhall and Lightoller were served
for the third time just as they were 60
ing through the gates at the Union
station to take the Congressional Linn
tied The first service was based on the
proceedings in admiralty, the second on
the equity action, and the third was a
forthwith summons.

ed over until Friday morning at 10
O'Clock, but at the same time Senator
Smith Is vigorously probing the new
mystery regarding the testimony of Ed
ward J. Dunn, of Beechhurst, L. l.,
that the White Star liz, received a
telegram relating to the disaster early
| Monday morning after the collision.
Dunn, under arrest of the Senate
Sergeant at Arms was 'quizzed for two
hours this morning in Senator Smith s
, private office to secure the name of a

legged information. Dunn remained OBJ
durate. He pleaded his word of hon
