"In cmae the animal is not raptur ed, take the treatment anyway." Dr. Bulla advised strongly the kill inr of the offending animal and the rxnmination of the head even though the animal h* a valuable pet. "tf you faU to* do do the risk you are taking greatly overbalances the value of the animal," he said. The tragedy of the stray do* f»»n ace was brought home forcibly to Raleigh folk Thursday morning when W. H. Wvne, Jr., nine year old son of Mr. and Mr*. W. H.

He was bitten about two months ago by a yung stray puppy which showed no signs of having been dis eased. His wound was cauterised and dressed within fifteen minutea of the bite. The dog strayed off somewhere ana has never been located.

That body sanded that the aged woman had been beaten to death, than hanged up, in order to make it appear a caae of suicide. A little hoy in the community made the diacovrry.

Bryan srose from the witness stand to tell Darrow, the judge and the a< M-mhled spectator* that ite' purpose was to east "slurs upon the Bible." The nature of the examination lyught Attorney General A. T. Stewart and other members ef the prosecution counsel to tWr feet time after time to interpoee object Una.

The witness said that he had made considerable studj^of the Bibte{ in cluding it* interpretation est the par ticular question involved.

Some of the Bible ia given illustratively. For instance. Te are the salt of the earth.' I would not insist that man was actually salt or that he had flesh of salt but it ia used in the sense of salt aa saving God's people." "But when you read that Jonah swallowed the whale—or that the whale swallowed Jonah—excuse me please how do you literally interpret that?" "When I read that, a big fish swal lowed Jonah. It does not say whale." "Doesnt K? Are you sureT" "That is my recollection of it. A big fish, and I believe it, and I be lieve in a God whe can made a whale and can make a man and can make both do what he pleases." Other interactions along the same line followed until the query: "You don't know whethy it waa the ordinary run of fish, or made far the purpose ?"
