Curious Happenings Throughout the
Country.
All the fish in the large lake
at the country club, Junction
City, Kan., have died recently,
and the anglers at the club are
facing a Ashless season. The
fish began dying one afternoon
and soon thousands of them had
floated to the banks, and wagons
were engaged in hauling them
away. It is believed they were
poisoned. All varieties except
the gar were affected.
John Gorman, a boilermaker
of Redwood City, Pa., had a real
night's rest recently.
Piomptly at 7 o'clock in that
city he lay down on the tracks of
the Southern Pacific main line
with a rail as a pillow. A few
minutes later a locomotive
knocked him twenty feet. Gor
man still snored. Then he rolled
out of an express wagon and fell
four feet to the ground. Still he
snored. A half hour later he
was laid out on an operating ta
ble, his wounds dressed and then
was taken for another ride and
carried up a flight of Jstairs to a
cell in the county jail. Gorman
had not blinked an eye.
At 8 o'clock the next morning
a factory whistle blew, Gorman
jumped and rubbed his eyes.
"Quick, Anna, my lunch buck
et," he shouted. "I'm late for
work."
Then he rubbed his eyes again.
"Why these bars, jailer?" he
asked.
"Oh, they are just a few you
missed yesterday," Jailer O.
Parker replied. "You will have
to explain the oversight to the
judge."
Gorman was charged with
drunkenness.
Mrs. Venereno Perrolo left her
two-year-old child in a high chair
at the third-story window of
their home at 68 Mechanic St.,
Orange, N. J., one afternoon and
went to the sidewalk to take the
pillows and blanket out of the
baby carriage. She had just
reached the side of the baby car
riage when a woman living in
the apartment across the street
screamed. Mr3. Perrolo looked
up and saw her child dropping
through the air. With a quick
movement she stretched the
blanket in her hands and caught
the child, saving it from instant
death on the concrete pavement.
As the child seemed to be un
conscious the mother ran with it
to the Orange Memorial hospital,
a block away. The doctor slapped
the infant on the back and it be
gan crying. It had been merely
stunned by the fall.
Every married man volunteer
ing for active war service in Can
ada is compelled to bring the
written consent of his wife be
fore he can be accepted, accord
ing to a militia order made pub
lic recently. Thousands of con
sents have been received by the
military authorities.
James Foreman, of Junction
City, Kan., is in dangerous
condition as a result of battle
with a dozen large rats , which
invaded his bedroom and at
tacked him as he lay asleep
He woke up when a rat bit him
on the cheek and brushed it
away with his hand. The rats
sprang at him again, biting him
on the breast. Foreman aroused
the members of his family, who
entered his room with a lamp
and found 12 huge rats on the
bed aad floor.
The rats attacked the other
members of the family, upsetting
the lamp and set the room on
fire. The flames were extin
guished and the fight continued
in the darkness, until five of the
rats had been killed and the oth
ers driven from the mom. Fore
man was bitten repeatedly and
his body is swoolen as a result of
the wounds. It is feared the
rats were suffering from hydro
phobia. Wild cherry tree leaves got the
goat of Mrs. Cervelia's goat, of
Vineland, N. J. Tradition has
it that cherry leaves are poison
ous, but the solons of the neigh
borhood believed the goat had
died from eating a wire hoop
skirt. Dr. W. L. LeBaw, a grad
uate veterinary surgeon, dissect
ed the body and found cherry
leaves the cause of death.
A story comes from Haywood
county that Orie Wright, a 15-year-old
girl, got up from her
bed while asleep and walked
from Canton to Jonathan's Creek,
a distance of 14 miles, across the
mountains, barefooted and at
tired only in her night gown.
She was not missed, having
slipped out of the house where
she was visiting about 8 o'clock.
She wa3 found the next morniag
about daylight near the home of
her father at Jonathan's Creek.
A number of people met her orr
the way, but thinking she was a
ghost, gave her the right of the
way.
The girl was awakened by
making a misstep in crossing a
braneh and falling into the cold
water.
Warehouses Necessary.
If the goverment is to advance
money on cotton, or any one else
is to make the advance, holding
cotton as collateral, there must
be warehouses in which to store
the cotton. The warhouses are
part of the successful playing of
the game. Cotton can't be stoied
in back-rooms, nor can it be left
on the ground. It must be
housed, and properly, and it will
require immense space to accom
plish the task. Therefore the
Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce does well in calling this
matter to public attention and
even if the suggestion made by
the Chamber is not adopted, it
will start people to thinking and
should start them in action, with
the object of building warehouses
and that without delay. The
milk in the cocoanut is to get
warehouses and to get them bo
they can be serviceable, in time
to house the present cotton crop,
or that large portion of it that
will have to be stored somewhere,
or be allowed to glut the market,
with injury alike to grower and
public Wilmington Dispatch.
