Quoting from DR.. Austin Flint's noted
work on medicine. Or. Dlaz said
Dogs and cats are often supposed to
be rabid when they are affected with
epilepsy or some other disease than
rabies. It issa popular error that dogs
are specially liable to become rabid
during the sofalled dog-days that is,
The hot months Of summer. Cases are
quite as likely to occur at other pc
llods Of the year, When rabies is sns
pected, the animal should be confined
and not killed until the character of
the disease Is fully declared. n

getting his ideas from books on this

what is known as the 9Th district.
which includes Texas, New Mexico
and other bordering states. The II.

require inspection OF a government

FRUIT JARS ON THE PlcKeTs.

Fruit jars on the pickets-saw a row
Of them today.
How they made my town.bori
thoughts go scurrying away!
] could see the burdocks and the hoI
/ vines once again
Even felt the aching in that boyisl
back OF mine,
Things | hadn't thought of since II
never tell you when.
j could see the grindstone underneath
the Concord vine
When the mower-sickle in my father
horny hands
Had to get an edge before we cut the
bottom lands.
Fruit jars on the palings! There's the
old potato patch;
There the bare strawberry plant;
that wait for winter thatch:
There the ras'b'ry's misty canes be
side the currant hedge:
There the tawny tansy growing neal
| the gardens edge;
There the gray.green cabbages; &
radish gone to seed:
There some ripe tomatoes-little salt
is all | need!
Thre the pathway selvaged with tn,
podded touch.me.nots-
Fruit jars on the palings, and those
familiar spots!
Fruit jars on the pickets! By the
woodpile ragweed grown
Lies the humble "hack.block" that was
once my royal throne.
Seated there at dusk time when the
evening chores we're through.
All my dreamed-of glory days went by
me In a review.
Things smile at, tearfully, after they
are done.
In my boyish pre.view seemed the
grandest victories won.
Fruit Jars on the palings-and a
fruitless train Of thought
Let me see through boyhood's eyes
the little things I've wrought!
