In the Boston Herald appears the
Following brief anecdote Of the late
Mrs. Charles d. Homans, whose life
was made noteworthy by friendships
with such, men as Dickens, Thackeray,
and Hawthorne, and whose keen wit
and broad culture won for her no lit
tie distinction.
Her son, a wellknown Boston physi-
cian had bought a new horse to use
in visiting his patients, and he asked
his mother what she would suggest
for name.
Roland" she said promptly.
"Why?" he asked in surprise
Isn't he going to carry the good

England is still wrathful over the

struction and contour of the airship

the friend. When night has fallen the
task Of differentiation would be null
tiplied until learning the Bible back
wards, with Shakespeare, Moliere and
the dictionary of all the languages of

comparatively easy accomplishment.
London Is not SO full of marching
troops as once it was. The volunteers
go quickly to the training camps. The
enlistment efforts are as energetic as
they have been at any time in the
past, but, of course, as the material,
or at any rate the willing material, Is
used up, the recruits diminish in num-
Der, at least such seems to be the case
in this big city where, in certain parts
at least, one seldom meets an able
bodied man Of soldier age.
English ingenuity has been taxed to
get new and striking word allurements
to draw men to the recruiting Offices.
One recruiting poster which was sup
posed to be q paragon Of strength
either has been torn down or has been
covered up in nearly all instances. 1t
was an appeal in these words: "Give
your strong right arm to your coun-
try" Above the words was the pic
ture Of strong right arm, but, unhap-
ply, the arm was detached from the
shoulder, and the significance Of the
thing was such that the military au-
thorities had second thought and
withdrew the amputated arm from the
service for which 1t was intended.

Mrs. Percy Reed, the spokesman,
stated tho reason for coming, and
added: We want to know what the

are Interested in our getting the vote

Under the terms OF the appropriation

TONED. together with the purchase OF

ago, the trouble came to a head bur

Ferneyhough Orders Quarantine.
Trustee Retains Possession.

Following tests made by expert vet-
erinarians, Dr.. ]. G. Ferneyhough,
state Veterinarian, yesterday ordered
a nerd or cows on Chntsworth Dairy
Farm, near Richmond. placed under
rigid quarantine. Nineteen OF thirty
four cows placed under the test re-
acted. showing thnt they arc affected
with tuberculosis
Inc nerd was sold last week under
a bankruptcy decree Of the United
States Court and purchased by William
h. Crane, who declined to take over
tho stock when a number of the cows
were found to be suffering from
ophthalmia. disease which has it's seat
In optic nerves DR.. Ferncyhough di-
rected that the herd be segregated as
n result OF the discovery of this infec-
ton. which Is not of serious nature,
except in the most aggravated cases,
and permits OF recovery within fifteen
or twenty days as n rule
At the instance OF DIR. Ferncyhough.
the Bureau of Animal Industry, United
States Department OF Agriculture. sent
DR.. Brookb bank. an expert. TO Richmond
to assist the State authorities in maxi
ing further tests of the COWS. 1t was
found that the condition Of the AMI
mails eyes was improved In many in
stances, but 1t is feared that several
may be blind.
TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY
RETAINS POSSESSION
Under instructions from Judge Ed
mund Waddill, Of the United States
court, Thomas o. Moss, trustee in bank
ruptcy for w. II. Trowbridge. owner
OF Chatsworth Farm, retained posses
sion of the cows. DR.. FerneyhouEh
said that he would permit the cows TO
be slaughtered under the inspection
of the Bureau of Animal Industry
agents, but that under no ctrcum-
stances would the quarantine be raised
The State Veterinarian was Informed
that up to last Friday milk from the
herd had been sold in Richmond.
When the health authorities Of the city
learned that the herd had changed
hands. they declined 10 permit any
more of the product to be disposed of
until n new inspection OF the cows had
been made. This inspection disclosed
the fact that many were infected with
ophthalmia.
DR.. Z. c. Levy, chief health officer,
was out OF the city yesterday. and no
official information could be secured as
to the manner in which the product OF
the Chatsworth herd was disposed Of
before the quarantine was inaugurated
1t is understood, however. the milk
was subjected to a Pasteurizing pro-
cess. which would have removed any
danger TO the health Of consumers.
