Just then the president came over,
the two women introduced themselves,
and President Wilson said he remem-

his regret that Mrs. Wilson and the
members of his family were not home
to greet them, and the two sisters
went forth beaming with satisfac-
ton.

IXT ASHINGTON.-I used to think
w that Washington was the quiet
est big city in the world" sighed
good old tines person, land l loved
1t on that account But now" The
sigh and the shake of the head were
eloquent.
If memory serves, it was Mrs.
Adams, wife of the president, who
complained of Washington as a will
derness. The streets, she said, were
composed of mud that covered the
hubs Of the wheels of her carriage.
Probably, with such paving there
was practically no noise of traffic
likewise no traffic.
"The city protects its citizens from
unnecessary noises" said Maj. Syl-
vester, but as Washington each year
takes on more and more the attributes
of metropolis the number of neces-
Sary noises increases. No longer are
dogs permitted to bark nor roosters
to crow-neither of these being neces-
Sary concomitants of civic develop
ment. But the ringing of bells, the
blowing of whistles, all the traffic
warnings-these are the necessary
noises of busy people and must go on.
Only unnecessary disturbances can be
stopped"
Just then a man clustered into the
outer office and demanded copy of
the police regulations.
Il want" he said, ito find out what
we've got to submit to and what we
haven't. A crowd of boys congregates

Money Coming in Year Round.

While fruit growing brings the
money in chunks at certain seasons
of the year, dairying is the only
branch of farming bringing in money
every month Of the year.
The dairyman who knows his BUSH
ness will have check going into the
bank every month and need never be
short for cash, provided he used good
judgment in his business. Then when
the big check comes from the sale of
fruit in the fall he will realize the
great advantage to be derived from
this combination.

With its little face almost COM
pletely denuded Of flesh, eaten away
by rats during the night. the 10weeks-
old son Of Albert Rosha, a Mexican
section hand employed by the Chicago
& Northwestern railway at Lamoille,
was round dead in bed when the father
| awoke at 1880 this morning. The babe
had been attacked by the rodents and
killed without so much as making an
outcry that was heard by the parents.
Coroner F. H. Boucher. who was
notified this morning and Investigated
the case, found that the premises oc-
cupied by the Rosha family was not
only infested with rats, but bull snakes
which have come in from the timber
and thickets for shelter. The Rosha
home il a little three-room shack be-
longing to the railroad company, sit
llated on the railroad right of-way in
the east edge Of Lamoille. Rosha said
that the rats often got into the house.
and that the snakes also bothered
them.

seen a human face more frightfully
mutilated outside Of railroad accl-

face was eaten away from the chin to
the crown, including the left ear. The
jaw bone was exposed under where
the left cheek had been. The entire
scalp was eaten away, the right eye
was entirely gone, and the flesh Of the

What might have been another La
; noble tragedy, and what may 80 re-
suit even yet, occurred Sunday after
noon when Juan Aldarez, a Mexican
railroad laborer employed by the
Northwestern, was shot and badly
wounded. Removed to the county hos
pital this forenoon. so he could be bet

Drs. n. e. Mighell and G. e. Her.

was wounded, but the case was not
reported to the sheriff's office until
late NJ onday afternoon, when Joseph
Plavets. foreman Of the gang in which
the Mexican is employed, came to this
city to complain.

Aldarez was washing his clothes in

when a charge of No. 6 shot entered
his left side. Thirty-two Of the shot
penetrated the flesh. From the depth
of the wounds, and the area covered.

sixty feet from Aldarez.
Shot Thru Check.
All Of the shot were removed except
one or two that had penetrated the
flesh Of the back so deeply 1t was
thought best not to attempt to disturb
them.
One pellet passed thru the nose, an
other the cheek and entered the mouth.
Others struck the arm, hip, and back,
some Of the latter lodging against the
ribs.
Fragments of the old clothes the
Mexican was wearing were carried in
to the wounds by the shot. In them
lies the source Of possible Infection,
which the physician thinks will be the
only cause Of a delayed recovery or
