NOTIONS OF PEOPLE
ABOUT HYDROPHOBIA
NEARLY ALL WRONG

CHICAGO. May % Most of the
popular, notions about mad dogs are
called fallacies, in an article by DR..
James Gordon Cumming, director Of
the Pasteur institute of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, in The Journal of
the American Medical Association.
That rabid dogs always froth at the
mouth that dogs develop rabies from
lack OF water, that dogs are more like
~ to contract rabies in hot weather
than in cold, that dogs afflicted with
hydrophobia are afraid OF water, are
some of the popular notions which DR..
Cumming declares are all wrong.
I'VE find only in the human subject
the dread of an attempt to drink wa
ter" the physician says "A rabid dog
will attempt to drink water even
though the act induces a spasm of the
deglutitory muscles"
A rabid dog seldom froths at the
mouth, according to DR.. Cumming,
whereas in canine with fits there is
profuse frothing. The dog day theo-
ry' is disproved, he says, by the num-
Der of winter cases.

Bought Tract
For Speculation.

But the human interest" side of
the forestry purchase is found in the
history of the two young men who
sold it.
Andrew Gennett is 81 years old and
Nat w. Gennett is only 80. Andrew
was graduated from Cumberland uni
versity, in Tennessee. and admitted to
the bar. The younger man entered the
lumber business in a small way, join
ing a firm in Nashville, their home.
Both were slight in build and Andrews
health was failing under the strain Of
office work and confinement.
The brothers were not poor even in
those days. They had a capital of sew
eral thousand dollars left them by their
father. They decided to go into the
woods, where they might find health at

BIG FOREST RESERVE
FOR GEORGIA BRINGS
2BROTHERS FORTUNE

When Judge W. T. Newman of the
Federal court hears on June 10 next
the case of The United States versus
$4,000 acres of land, n. w. and Andrew
Gennett and Others" and rules that all
claims against the ten thousand titles
involved are settled, it will mark the
beginning OF a tremendous forest re-
serve in north Georgia, the conserva
ton of tract equal in area to an aver
age county. and the esta blishment of
government forestry service with
chief inspector and a hundred forest
rangers. And it will mark the climax
in the fortunes of two young Southern
men who have in one year built up
fortune of a clean half million dollars
from nest egg of few thousands
The case which comes up next month
in the Federal court is a friendly"
suit designed to establish the title of
purchasers and sellers to tract of
$4,000 acres of forest land In the
mountains Of north Georgia, most Of it
in Fannin county, with a part in Union,
Gilmer and Lumpkin counties. 1t has
been bought in the past two years by
the two Gennetts and the titles have
been cleared by intricate tracing of
ancient grants, the settlement of
myriad claims and the winning of many
suits at law. The government has
called upon more than 1000 persons
to come forward on June 10 and estab-
lish any claim they may have to any
portion of these lands or forever after
hold their peace" None of the thou
sand is expected to appear, and the suit
is mere formality. But when it is

The bluecoats all appeared in their

mayor Chairman Carlos Mason and
other officials all expressed themselves
as highly gratified over the appearance
of the men.
Atlanta policemen are dressed in

found both.
The two young city men have lived
the life of the lumberman for ten years
They cleaned out seveeRl timber tracts
in the Carolinas, and two years age
they invaded the mountains in north
Georgia. Here they purchased more
than 10000 acres Of timber lands, more
with view to future enhancement OF
values than for immediate operations
The government had its eve on the
tract, but its agents arrived on the
scene only TO find that the two young
timber operators held the titles. They
began negotiations more than year
ago, and the deal which will be closed
next month will mean a profit OF many
thousands to the Gennetts, for they
bought cheaply and the government

Call of the Woods
Must Be obeyed.

Il have been In Atlanta several
weeks said Andrew Gennett, in his
office in the Empire building, and al
ready am feeling the call OF the
woods. l am restless in the city, Ill at
ease | can't breathe the air which
rises from asphalt streets; l can not
sleep in the close rooms of the hotels.
When this deal is closed I'm going back
into the woods-back to buy more tim
Der lands, to live in the open again.
Nat is up there now, wearing high boots
and flannel shirts and riding through
the forest, and. I'm anxious to join
him.
You boys have made az wonderful
success, suggested a friend, enviously.
Mr. Gennett smiled. but there was a
trace of sadness in the curve of The
lips
Il suppose So" he returned. Il
ought not to complain, for we have
made more than we could have expect
ed, and gained health as well as money.
But sometimes l think we have lost a
great deal, too. We have lost the con-
tact with our fellows, the acquaintance
of women, the polish which comes from
close association with the people of
ones own type. We feel mighty lonely
in the woods sometimes"
You might retire now and win back
all of those things suggested his
friend
The smile was whimsical this time.
I'm afraid not, said the young
woodsman The mountains are calling
the smell Of fresh cut timber, the
trout streams and the saddle are too
strong a lure. I'm afraid we couldn't
come back to the city to stay. The
woods gave US all we asked. and now
the woods are claiming ourselves in
return. Wen have TO stick to the
mountains"

MARRIAGE RESTRICTIONS.

In all the talk of restricting mar
riages to persons of unsound bodily
and mental health, there has hereto
fore been no serious suggestion OF
making the persons whs perform the
ceremony or issue the license the
judges of whether or not the candi-
date fo- marriage come up to re-
quiremCnts 1t remains for a men,
Der of the ontario legislature to put
his ideas along that line into the form
of a legislative bill He proposes that
no minister or other person author
ized to perform the marriage cere-
mony shall do so in case he suspects
that one of the applicants Is insane
or intoxicated and no official charged
with the duty of issuing marriage H.
censes shall do so in such cases, says
the buffalo Express. II they do, they
will be liable to a fine of $500 for
each offense, and may possibly go to
Jail for a year The question arises
at once, what clerk will issue IL
cense or what minister will marry a
couple in these circumstances? Also,
why should these aymen be required
to judge of persons bodily or men
tai condition? Why should not that
be left to experts in the first place?
A way out of the lituation Is provid-
ed, however, for II the licenser has
any doubts as to the eligibility Of the
applicants he may require phys.
