On Sa!e on the Second Floor—Bowman's
Outbreak of Glanders is
Checked By Veterinarian
Something over a year ago a carload
of twenty-six horses was shipped from
a Western State Into Columbia county
for public sale.
The6e horses at that time were all in
apparently healthy condition and thus
wera sold to various farmers and hoi-se
men throughout that community. In a
short time, however, several of these
horses began to show symptoms of
glanders, a dangerous Infectious dis
ease, thereby jeopardizing the health of
hundreds of horses In neighboring
countle3, as each horse In the car was
undoubtedly h source of Infection.
Glanders Is communicable to man and,
as In horses, the disease Is fatal.
Following tho flnvftlopmHnt of these
cases, agents of the State Livestock
Sanitary Board began to make a thor
ough Investigation. By the'tracing of
all animals In thin shlnment, by the
testing of these and In addition all ex
posed animals with malleln, an efficient
diagnostic agent, and by an examina
tion of blood samples collected from
the liorsns and submitted to the board'#
laboratory, nearly all of the twenty
six, besides other horses, tn all thirty
three, ware found to be Infected with
glanders.
All diseased animals were destroyed
and thorough disinfection was carried
out In all stables and on all premises
where these animals were found and
thus the horse owners of that com
munity were relieved from any further
loss.
THEN TIIERE WAS SILENCE
An amusing story Is being told of Sir
Douglas Dawson, who had bo much to
do with the preparation for Prince
Arthur'ii wedding. Sir Douglas had a
very worrying time, and the story
goes that one day he went Into a room
in the palace where a friend was sit
ting, and, sinking Into a chair, he
remarked, wearily:
"If anyone so much ns breathes the
word 'wedding' in my presence I'll
knock him down!" He had scarcely
uttered the words when the door
opened and King George came in,
looking worried.
"Oh, by tho way," he began at once,
"about this wedding "
George got no furthtr than the
word, for, in spite of all his efforts.
Sir Douglas' friend was forced to
laugh. The King glanced at him in
surprised annoyance, but laughed
heartily when Douglas explained what
he had Just threatenod.—London Tit-
Bits.
POETIC LICENSE
Sometimes children hit the nail on
the head unconsciously. Bobby, who
lives up In the northwest section and
goes to Thomson school, has a mother
very fond of books. He had often
hoard her speak of "poetlo license"
and had also read In the comic sup
plements about the sad fate of the
Spring poet, who was dally thrown
out of <Jie window or to the lions to
make a Roman holiday.
One day mother and Unole Hunk
were talking and poetry was the sub
ject.
"Mother," said Bobble, reflectively,
"do poets have to go down to the mu
nicipal building to get a license 7"
"Why, no child; what ever put such
an Idea in your head?" laughed the
mother.
"Well," drawled Bobby, "I heard'
you and Hunk talking about poetic
license and I thought it meant that
everybody hated poeta, so that they
had to go and get a license same its
a dog."—Washington Star.
LINK LOLLOP'S COMPLAINT
[From the Kansas Olty Star.]
"It seams to me," complains Link
Lollop, of Pleasant Valley, "that ene of
the orylng needs ef the ago Is a blotter
which win remove a stain from a repu
tation which has passed through the
seering fires of sin. The fu'st of the

and resolved never to touch It again,
expecting to have tne help and sym

pangs of the thirst which I had re

When 1 came to the one about Secre

unsuspecting manner, 'Secretary

rose right up with a pitiful little

down, and told her to read Jt herself,
which she did, 'Secretary Breakfasts

COMMON FORM OP INSANITY
A party of Clev®J»»Jers entertained
soma holiday visitors last week and
having showed them everything In

had to tuke them out to Newburgh for
a view of the asylum, The auporln.

"Hera is a queer case, ladies," he
said, pausing at a. particular cell,
'This man has the delusion that ha
