Beer Diet Cures Horse of
Lockjaw

gin Logansport, Ind, a case oil
lockjaw in a horse has been cured
by a diet of beer. A veteraniary
was called to see the animal who
was unable to eat and the doctor
prescribed a beer diet. For
seventeen days the horse was
given beer through a tube and
in a few days the jaws began to
loosen and on last Saturday the
horse opened his mouth widely
and ate corn. The horse is six
teen years old and is now in as
good condition as if nothing had
ever happened.

ONE BOY SCOUT CHECKS
CROWD OF THOUSANDS.

1T seems inconceivable that
boys could handle a crowd
more effectively than strong
men, but the boy scouts proved
that such was the case, at least
on one Inauguration day in
Washington. A six foot police
man was finding the crowd along
Pennsylvania avenue too much
for him. They would draw back
little and then surge forward
with the relentless pressure Of a
hydraulic ram. Near by stood a
twelve-year-oh lad in the uni
form of boy scout. In his
hand was a small stick that
looked about as well fitted to
hold back a crowd as young Da-
vid's sling did to knock out the
giant Goliath.
Here, scout" called the big
policeman, push back a few
thousand Of those people, will
you"
The boy never even smiled.
He held out his stick horizontal
~ and started for the mass of
humanity, whereupon the mass
melted into a friendly group Of
men and women with a big
place In their hearts for plucky
small boy. and it was the place
In their hearts that made place
In the road. Shouting with
laughter. they moved back, and
the boy held them securely there
} with his magic wand of youth.

SURVIVAL or OLD CUSTOM
Channel islander Has Recourse -
"Cry for Freedom" Relic
Of the Past.

A strange custom, dating back at
least to Norman times, was revived
in Alderney, in the Channel islands.
Daniel Sebire Jurat, justicier-
elect Of Alderney, whose election the
royal court at Guernsey had annulled
because he had been sentenced to a
term of imprisonment some wears
ago, raised Glamour de Haro,' or
cry for justice" against a fresh
election by kneeling bareheaded at
the entrance of the court house and
exclaiming, Hare. Haro. Haro 1!
Paide, mon Prince. On me fait
tort" (Help, my prince! l am
wronged.
The Glamour de Haro." an an
cient custom of crying for justice"
still survives in the Channel islands.
The appellant must on his knees and
before witnesses raise the cry, which
acts as an injunction until the al
legged tort or trespass has been adju-
dicated upon by the court. If the
trespasser continues, he is liable to
arrest and punishment
Though the Glamour is stAl legal
in the Channel islands. recourse to
it is very rare, and there had been
no instance of it in Alderney for
two centuries. 1t is, however. a very
effective procedure. The derivation
popularity ascribed to the plea is
curious "Haro" is said to be an alb
breviation of "Ha Rollo" a direct
appeal to Rollo, the first duke of
Normandy, and is thus traced back
to the days when there were no
courts and justice was personally
meted out by princes. 1t is. however,
more probable that "Haro!" is sim
ply an exclamation to attract atten-
ton.
A similar custom, applicable only
IN criminal cases. was the Saxon
"clamor violenti@," which was in ex-
istence at the time Of the Norman
invasion.

REDDING

/ i u E
Robert Dickerson recently had
the bad luck to get one Of his
feet badly hurt. The mule he
was riding fell and caught Rob-
ert's foot underneath. AS a result
Robert is now crippled,
Sam Ketchem is yet on the
sick list.
John Childers had the misfor-
tune of losing one of his daugh-
ters recently by death. She with
others of Johns family had gone
to Oklahoma to pick cotton.
Three took sick, but we learn that
the other two are some better.
The remaius of the one who died
was shipped back to Ozark and
was buried at the cemetery on
the farm of Ferd Woolsey. Rev.
James McClellen conducted the
funeral services.
Taylor Pearson, road overseer
for Mcllroy township, is having
quite a lot of heavy work done
on the mountain above Redding.
Wish some expert on bug
ology" would advise some
scheme whereby we could get
rid of the overproduction of bugs
and worms in this section.
jeff James and family and
Myrtle James have gone to Turner
Bend to pick cotton. They will
probably stay two weeks.

WHY FISH HAVE NO EYELlDS
Wlss Nature Has In Consequence
Eliminated Thorn.

Have you ever noticed the vacant
stare Of fish and wondered why
they have no eyelids? If you have
not it will be interesting the next
time You visit an aquarium to note
closely the eyes of the fish and OBJ
serve how they are compelled, either
in their sleeping or waking hours, to
peer constantly out through the wa
ter.
As a matter of fact, fish have no
need of eyelids. 1t would be viola
tive of the economy of nature for
them to>be equipped with such use
less appendage. In the water there
is no dust to get into the eyes, moth
ing to scratch them or mar them
with blows, and the great cushion of
water that forever surrounds them
protects them from many other dam
gers which confront land animals.
1t will be seen, therefore, that ma
turehid not:merely neglect to fit fish
with eyelids. but apparently did so
with the purpose of conserving the
energy that would be needed in
maintaining them for use at some
more important part.

SAYS FISH HAVE hYDROPHO1IA

Fish with hydrophobia," is the
caption on report in the German

mania affecting the huge pike in the
River Sieg and other continents of
the Rhine. The'pike rise to the sur
face and, swim around in the greatest
excitement, which bears all signs of
absolute terror.
Anglers state pike thus affected
when caught snap more tiercely than
the others. The disease is believed
to have so me connection with the re-

rlverine authorities invite anglers to
come and. help rid the streams of
these diseased fish.

The conversation in the lobby Of
a Washington hotel the other night
turned to the diagnosis of the doc
tor, prescriptions and things like
that, when q case was recalled by
Congressman Ira c. Copley of Illi-
nOis.
Some time ago, he said, a man
named Smith was taken sick, and his
friend Jones, hearing about it, went
around to pay him visit and cheer
him up.
What seems to be the matter, old
man?' asked Jones, after the hand
clutch, "and what kind of treatment
is the doctor giving your"
"The doctor told me l was run
down." answered Smith, "and said
that nothing was better for one in
my condition than little whisky
occasionally"
"You don't really mean it" ex-
claimed Jones. "ls the whisky do
ing you any good%
ooh, yes," WAS the confident re-
joinder of Smith. when that keg
came week ago, l could hardly lift
it, and now l can carry it all around
the room" -Chicago Evening Post.
