No Warnlnu.

Petro had drifted down to Florida
and was working with gang at rail-
road construction. He had been told
to beware Of rattlesnakes, but assured
that they would always give the warn
ing rattle before striking.
One hot day he was eating his noon
luncheon on pine log when he saw
big rattler coiled few feet in front
of him. He eyed the serpent and be-
gan to lift his legs over the log. He
barely got them out of the way when
the snakes fangs hit the bark beneath
him.
"Sun Of guna!' yelled Petro, "why
you no ringa da bell?"

Death Sentence Is Praised, ,IAlso
Severely Criticised.
MOTHER OF DtfORMD BABE IS firm
Doctor Who Condemned It Declared
Tot Would Be Great Sufferer
and Burden All Its Life.

Chicago-The Bollinger baby, de-
fective, whose mother, on professional
advice, decided 1t should not undergo
an operation which probably would
have saved its life, died Thursday at
the German American hospital here.
The child was baptized with the
name Of John shortly before its death.
Mrs. Bollinger was not Immediately
informed Of the death of the baby.
The subject Of the propriety Of the
sacrificing the life of the infant, that
1t might not grow up a burden to itself
and possible menace to society, was
the subject Of widespread discussion.
DR.. H. ]. Haiselden, on whose ad-
vice the mother acted, was visited by
many medical men and telephone calls
alternately accused and praised him.
He remained unaltered in his convic-
tion that death was the greatest bless
ing which could be hoped for.
The principal physical deformities
Of he baby were the closure Of the in
testinal tract, paralysis of the nerves
Of the right side of the face, the abb
sence of the right ear, blindness Of
one eye and malformation Of its shoul-
ders. DR.. Haiselden, who officiated at
the birth, noted the absence of a neck.
The brain he found to be only slightly
subnormal, but the cranial nerves were
absent or undeveloped.
"If he grew up he would be hope
less cripple and would suffer from
fits," said the doctor, before the child
died.
Would his mind be clear? Would
his soul be normally alive?" one Of
the visitors asked.
'That ! do not know, but the
chances are against it,"
DR.. John B. Murphy, ex-president Of
the American Medical association, and
physicians and professional men and
women, including several clergymen,
generally took sides with DR.. Haisel-
den. But his critics were just as
numerous.
Mrs. Anna Bollinger, the mother,
remained in room nearby. Many
times she asked:
"Is it dead?"
She remained steadfast in her belief
that death was best for the little one.
She has three healthy children and the
plight Of the condemned one is be-
lieved to have been due to an attack
Of typhoid fever which the mother
suffered recently.
The authorities took no action fur
ther than to determine that no death
certificate should be issued until after
an investigation by the coroner.

Knife in Woman Eight Months.

Chicago Mrs. Elizabeth Hochsber-
ger was right and doctors wrong, as
she proved Tuesday. Eight month ago
Mrs. Hochsberger had typhoid fever.
She recovered. but her stomach did not
feel right. Finally it dawned upon her
in a dim way that during her delirium
of fever she had swallowed a table
knife. Physicians had something to
say of the imaginations of nervous
women. They told her to forget it.
An X-ray photograph showed a 10-inch
knife in the lower stomach. Mrs.
Hochberger will be operated on.

Benton Hogs Grow Fast,

Kennewick, Wash.--Within the past
8 years the growth of the hog industry
in this section has been marvellous.
With the advent Of the doctrine of d.

the hog industry has been growing un-
til now there are literally thousands Of
hogs produced in Benton county where
hundreds we're not grown before. The
problem confronting the growers Of
swine in this section, and which is
threatening to destroy the industry,
however, is not how to produce hogs,
but how to market them.

 Hitherto the German powder and explosives industry has been depend ent upon Chilian nitrate, and very large quantities Of it were also used by the farmers As it cannot now be imported the government realizes that comprehensive and euersetic measures must be taken To make substitute at home. and SO it proposes 10 recover nitrogen from the amos- phere on a large scale. Processes have already been worked out by Ger man scieltists by which nitrogen can be- obtained even more cheaply than ty importing it from Chile. provided the recovering plants be built on
