A PRETTY LITTLE PUPPY
HAD HYDROPHOBIA AND SPREAD
TERROR IN CUTHBERT.
Thirteen Persons Who stopped to
Handle 1t Were Bitten and Are
Taking Medical Treatment.

thirteen PERSONS VINO StOppSU ~
Handle 1t Were Bitten and Are
Taking Medical Treatment.
Just a pretty, cute, little stray
puppy, it seemed, of Scotch terrier
extraction, and nearly everyone who
saw it wanted to fondle it. Several
did SO, to their sorrow.
Mr.. Henry Lehman took the soft
little dog in his arms to the Cuth-
bert hotel, thinking he would take
it back with him to Texas. Suddenly
the diminutive canine fastened its
sharp teeth in his chin and held on
till he pried its mouth open with his
finger The finger was bitten also.
The dog was then released, but
before it left the hotel it had bitten
the negro porter and a small white
boy.
The puppy wandered around town,
biting various persons, white and col
ored, that stopped to handle it.
1t was raised at DR.. Patterson's
home and given to Mr.. S. W. McWil-
liams. 1t bit Eek Patterson and
Clayton Floyd before it wandered off.
That was about ten days ago. When
news came that the experts of the
state medical board found that the
puppy had hydrophobia victims of
the little dogs teeth to the number
of thirteen promptly applied for med
ical treatment Six are white and
seven are colored. Unlucky thirteen!
teen!
Serum is being sent by the state
health board to DR.. Patterson, who
daily inocuIates the thirteen unfort-
unates. The treatment is to be con-
tinued twenty-one days. The Pas
teur treatment is uniformly success
full, and it is hoped that no serious
results will follow the wholesale bit
ing by a puppy.-Cuthbert Leader.

WASHINGTON-A distinct tri-
umph for the liquor forces was the
passage of the postofffce bill in the
house today without prohibition OF
the carrying of liquors by the parcels
post or of the transmission of adver-
tisements of intoxicants through the
mails.
Murdoch of Kansas wanted to pro-
hibit the mails to matter advertising
intoxicants in the prohibition states,
his amendment also was ruled out of
order.
Postmaster General Hitchcock in
establishing the parcels post made a
regulation that no intoxicants could
be shipped by it. This was held to
be an unauthorized exercise of execu-
tive power.

PORTER CHARLTON
NEARS LAKE COMO
"Story Before jury Will Rival Evelyn
Thaw's," His Counsel
Asserts.

Naples, Aug. 29.--Italian officials took
Porter Charleton off the steamer Re
dItalia here yesterday afternoon and
prepared to leave by train for Lake
Como, where he will be tried for the
murder of his wife.
Carabinieri surrounded Charlton and
would allow none to interview him. DIR.
Campanelil, an alienist retained by
Charlton's family, came from Rome to
meet the prisoner and will accompany
him to Lake Como.
"Charlton's own story before the jury
will rival that of Evelyn Nesbt Thaw
and win in itself be sufficient to aequit
him." said former Deputy Camera, chief
counsel for Charlton, who met the boat.
Passengers said that Charlton, though
second class, was the best
dressed man aboard. Always aecompa-
MED by one of the two carabinieri, Et-
rizzo and Franklin, Charlton walked the
decks for many hours daily. He read
novels and wrote poetry, and between
times he studied Italian assiduously, as
under the Italian law he will have the
right to examine witnesses and ad-
dress the jury.

VARDAMAN BOLTS
ON INCOME TAX
But La Follette's Amendment Is Lost
in Senate--Democrat May
Amend, However.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Demorratic
leaders in the Senate may be compelled
to reeur to the proposed graduated in
come tax and provide that the incomes
from larger fortunes, say 100000 and
over, shall pay proportionally much
larger percentage of tax than the small
er ones. 1t may be that the exemption
will be lowered also and the tax levied
against incomes as low as $1,000 at a
rate of one-half per cent
On test vote yesterday morning on
Senator La Follettes amendment pro-
yiding graduated tax from ! per cent.
to 10 per cent. ton incomes of Sl00,000l,
four Democrats indicated that il they
had not been assured that caucus of
Democrats would rewrite the income tax
provision they would be prompted TO
vote against ii. Later in the day it was
reported that the caucus would be called.
This will delay the bill.
Senator Williams declared after the
vote was taken yesterday that he could
say, as chairman of the subcommittee
having the income tax in hand, that no
body had any right to give assurances
that the bill would be rewritten or
caucus be called.
Senator Vardaman OF Mississippi ac-
tually broke over the restraint and sup
ported the La Toilette amendment. II
was his first departure from the cut
anddried party program since the bill
came before the Senate.

COLLINS STOPS JOHNSON.
Great Washington Twirler's Record of
Consecutive Victories Broken.

Boston, Aug. Walter Johnson's
second attempt OF the present season
to set up new pitchers record for
successive victories failed yesterday
when Boston won an thinning contest
from Washington, to O. For 10 in
nings johnson disposed of Boston bats
men in procession that was monoto-
nous, only in the second inning was the
one, two, three, order of Boston's go
ing out interrupted, this by Yerkes' hit
over short, until the 18th inning. Then
Yerkes slammed the second hit off John
son into center field and reached third.
Wagner's infield hit resulted in Yerkes
being put on the way to home, but not
until Wagner had reached second. Man
ager Carrigan was at bat, johnson had
sped over three balls, for a count of two
strikes, one ball, when Carrigan met the
fourth for clean hit between the left
and center fielders, and Wagner raced
home.
Up to yesterday, the leagues leading
pitcher had twirled Washington TO IA
victories without defeat. This stands as
the American league record for this sea-
son, but is two games short of the mark
set last season by johnson and Wood,
the latter of Boston.
Yesterdays game was a remarkable
exhibition of Johnson's pitching skill.
In the 18th innings, only 80 men faced
him, and but four of these reached first.
Ten Boston batsmen struck out and
johnson did not allow a base on balls.
Collins pitched well, and was partieu-
larly effective when Washington had
men on the bases. The score:
Bost. -. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 IL 3

FEW FOREST FIRES THIS YEAR.
Only Maine and Massachusetts, Have Ex-
perienced Extra Hazard,

Washington, Aug. 29.-The forest
service yesterday declared that loss
from flames among the growing timber
so far this year had been kept to a
minimum. "0nly two states, Massachu-
setts and Maine" says the report, have
thus far found it necessary, because OF
extra serious FIRE hazards, to call upon
the emergency provisions of their agree
ment with the federal government" The
long droughts in various sections of
the country, the forest service officials
declare, have made this a season of I'M
usual danger. The fact that so few
disastrous fires have occurred is accepted
by them as proof of the efficiency OF
the present fre-fghting organization.

Catching flies is affording Shreve-

pendent living. He sells them, to the
city board of health. His name is
Bartsch, and his net revenue from the
fly industry for the first two days of a
recent week was $24.20. When the
health board began offering premiums
for the flies, dead or alive. Bartsch
purchased about 100 traps and placed
them in fiy-ridden sections of the city.
Then he began making inroads on the
health boards exchequer, and SO well
did he operate that he bore the market
price down from so cents to 20 cents a
quart, for it is by that measure that
the board purchases. Bartsch is still
working, and he will work as long as
the treasury holds out. He finds fly
catching pays.

OF glories there are yet to gain;
In fancy / can see the CLEAN

Their splendid towers cleave the air,
And you are gentle mistress there.
Within your soulful eyes I gaze
And dream of gallant armored knights;

My fancy scars to splendid heights; :
I see you haunt my colors there
Where knights are brave and ladies fair.

And fancy carries me afar,
Where proudly floating standards rise,
And undefeated legions are;
With you to sweetly bid me dare.
