COLUMBUS GA., Jan. 30.—
Amos Johnson Columbus tax¬

a bite inflicted by a small dog at
the office of tho .. o. r ..... o
company on Sixth ave ...e-.ao i
three weeks ago. The dog is
said to have bitten at least half
a dozen other persons, three of
whom will begin treatment fo'
lowing its arrival from Atlanta
today.
An examination of the head
of the dog was.made by Dr. B. J.
Fitzmorris. It was found that
the dog had rabies. The per-

other victims of the mad dog,

it arrives from Atlanta, health

.Little Chance For Recovery..
Sir. Johnson is suffering from
; ...tches on the face,'feet and
ha ids. Although he was re¬
po, tod considerably better last
i ;ht thaif during the early
of Satui d ly, little hope I
.o his recovery. He was
.ols and able to be on h*
feet.
According to Dr. Fitzmorris,
cures are occasionally effected
whe the bites are inflicted on
the extremities but victims bit¬
ten ffiout the face seldom recov¬
er. It is the first case of hydro¬
phobia reported here since last
April when bites from a pet dog
sustained by Hugh Baird, Jr.,
son of Tax Collector and Mrs.
Hugh Baird proved fatal.
. .. Dog was Stray Animal...
The dog which bit Messrs.
Johnson, Hill,, Milan and others,
it is said, was a small animal, a
cross between a poodle and a fox
terrier. It* was observed fight¬
ing several other dogs in the vi¬
cinity of the taxi office and
when it scratched Mr. Johnson,
apparently in a playful manner,
the taxi man said, “isn’t he
game.” No atttention was
accorded the incident until he
was pronounced suffering from
hydrophobia yesterday.

Tired
“I was weak and run-down,”
relates Mrs. Eula Burnett, of
Dalton, Ga. “I was thin and
just felt tired, all the time.
I didn’t rest well. I wasn’t
ever hungry. I knew, by
this, I needed a tonic, and
as there is none better than—
Tiis Woman’s Tonic I
. . . f began using Cardul,"
continues Mrs. Burnett.
"After my first bottle, I slept
better and ate better. I took
four bottles. Now I’m well,
feel just fine, eat and sleep,
my skin is clear and I have
gained and sure feel that
Cardul is the best tonic ever
made.”
Thousands of other women
have found Cardul just as
Mrs. Burnett did. It should

THEIR LAST FEAST
Mohammedan Fanatics Paid
Dearly for “Brain Stew.”
Excess of Zeal Discouraged by French
Authorities in Northern Senegal
in Effective Manner.
Boomba is not the seat of Moham¬
medan culture in Africa. Boomba
lies in northern Senegal, behind the
west coast of Africa, humiliated at
the onward strides of Dakkar, a
worldly seaport knowing neither re¬
ligion nor shame. And let it be known
to all men that the natives in the
hinterland nigh unto Boomba are as
the “wee sma’ hours of the mornin',”
in blackest darkness; but seeking the
light of a great awakening.
Last month, while the Clontarf,
stout shipping-board vessel, now at
pier 23, foot of Pacific street, lay to
in the roadstead at Dakkar, a wave of
revival hit the vicinity of Boomba, ac¬
cording to the assistant engineer.
The blacks got religion and the
blacklands resounded with the chant
of “There is no God but Allah, and
Mohammed is his prophet”—in fervent
Senegalese.
Now, the German found the Sene¬
galese a fiercesome soldier. On his
native jungle trail he is even more so.
On the warpath went the newly con¬
verted Mohammedans, with fire in one
hand and the sword in the other, after
the fashion of Saladdin’s host. They
were bound to out-Mohammed Mo¬
hammed and great was their zeal.
Furthermore, they were bound on a
quest to show their brethren, unbeliev¬
ing dogs on the docks of Dakkar, that
a warrior of the Jungles could acquire
that polish which some say comes only
to citizens of the worldly state, dwell¬
ing in a great metropolis.
There chanced across their march a
party of Frenchmen, hunting wild
beasts of the field. The Frenchmen
were, moreover, unbelieving dogs. The
slaughter was swift, pitiless and al¬
most painless. Eleven dead Gauls
were laid at the feet of the chief of the
Boomba hinterland.
“My children,” cried he, in a rolling
brogue such as is bandied about in the
jungle, “behold these men of culture
and little faith. They have the wis¬
dom of them who sit in high places,
but they have the faith of the grovel¬
ing jackal. We have done well to
chop off their heads. Now we will do
well to acquire their wisdom. Let us
have brain stew, made from the brains
of the Frenchmen, in whom there way
wisdom but little faith.”
And so the stew was eaten.
About a week later, a dozen of these
fierce seekers after a great wisdom
were gathered in by the French au¬
thorities. And in another week they
•were sent to > another land, far beyond
the clouds, where the honris tread the
mazes of the heavenly dance and wis¬
dom comes to all men who are true
believers. At least, that is the tale as
told by the assistant engineer. And
thus endeth the quest of the converts
of the Boomba hinterland, searchers of
wisdom in the name of the prophet.-'
Brooklyn Eagle.
The World's Advancement.
Those who, in retrospect, recall the
days of the hand sickle may well
marvel at the developments which have
taken place within their secoilection!
They have seen, besides the develop¬
ment in agriculture, the inauguration
of almost countless devices and utili¬
ties. They have seen railroads built
across the continent, the telegraph and
telephone perfected, great steamship
lines established and more latterly the
motor car and the airplane utilized in
everyday affairs. Until the hand sickle
was laid aside it had been used since
that time to which the memory of men
runneth not to the contrary. And yet
to them, It may seem the advent of
the grain cradle and the crude horse
drawn reaper was but as yesterday.
Personified, those homely early devices
seem almost like the explorers of the
earlier ages who set out upon voyages
of discovery with nothing to guide
them but a vision of something grand¬
er and more beautiful than their eyes
had ever beheld.—Exchange.
New Discoveries in Crete.
Excavations at Knossos, Psaetos
and other sites In Crete have not mere¬
ly established the existence of a people
whose form of civilization was the
earliest in Europe, but have shown
much about their daily life, games,
amusements; their art, religion, writ¬
ing—though hardly yet their language;
their physical characteristics, dress
and the houses they live in.
A huge palace, as big as Bucking¬
ham palace, has been unearthed at
Knossos. It has a drainage system
that an eminent Italian archeologist
has described as “absolutely English,”
and that certainly anticipates the hy¬
draulic engineering of the Nineteenth
century. The men of science engaged
in the work estimate the age of their
discoveries at four thousand years.—
Discoveries.
Dehydrated Fish Valuable.
Electrical dehydrating plants for
fish are promised as a result of recent
experiments In England, which demon¬
strate that it is possible with the aid
of heated air to accomplish in a brief
time results that now require many
days of air curing, says Popular Me¬
chanics Magazine. Deprived of every
trace of moisture, the fish meat may
be kept-, for years, and then restored
for three days in water. The dried
flesh also may be ground Into a fine
flour of high food value. The process
hug been patented in all countries
Popular Christie
By MILDRED WHITE
(©. 1920, Western Newspaper Union.j
No one could define Chrissie’s popu¬
larity, but everyone loved her. Every¬
one, from the bent old man who car¬
ried out ashes, to Mrs. DuFunt, the
town’s social leader. To be upon vis¬
iting terms with Mrs. DuPont was an
open sesame to all other houses,
while Chrissie, it seemed was herself
the bestower of favor when she poured
afternoon tea at Mrs. DuPont’s. Men
flocked to Chrissie’s side like butter¬
flies to a sweet flower, and Chrissie
never sought attention.
Studied impersonally, the happy
young woman was not especially pret¬
ty. True, her eyes were good, with
a something in their depths which
made you trust her instinctively. And
Chrissie’s smile was bright and win¬
ning. But there were far prettier
girls in Evansville, whom she eclipsed,
and there were many more fortunate
in this world’s goods.
Christina Leighs’ family left her the
old homestead and a modest Income
for maintenance, while old Mamie
Rose offered In the girl’s desolation
to stay with “her baby free and for¬
ever;” so Chrissie continued her
reign.
“I wish I knew,” one of Chrissie’s
young friends said, “just what it is
about Chrissie that everyone likes?
It can’t be her looks exactly, though
she is sweet, and I know girls more
entertaining—”
“Reckon,” answered Mamie Rose
dryly, “what folks likes most 'bout
Chrissie Is— Chrissie.”
And then, the throne trembled.
It was a new arrival who, coming
to the staid little town like a bright
flash across their sky, claimed atten¬
tion. The young - men who had been
Christina’s acknowledged adorers,
flocked like sheep to the newcomer’s
door.
Young women, curious and envlouc,
were next to seek admittance, but cau¬
tious and resentful parents held thlB
desire in check.
Miss. Shirley Wendell was the name
the beautiful stranger gave, when rent¬
ing the newly finished bungalow. She
was a teacher of singing it was an¬
nounced. with an advertisement In
the town paper. And the coldness of
the town’s people troubled Miss Wen
del! not at all, as she continued to
sing her songs to the town’s nicest
young men at evening. The bungalow
living room was kept ever gay with
their presence.
Chrissie, stunned at the unusual
emptiness of her own “parlor” at eve¬
ning, for young women too had suffer¬
ed a sudden setback of interest there—
gazed wondering through the window
as Shirley Wendell went by.
“.She is really lovely,” Chrissie said
to Mamie Rose, “and I like her odd
attractive clothes. It is not strange
that we should seem dull, by com¬
parison.”
“Dull!” grunted Mamie Rose. “Huh!
I’ve seen bright lights that dazzle
vour eves after awhile,. ’till they
smarts. Reckon Mister Willie will be
right glad to soothe his eyes again
with something restful.”
Chrissie’s fair skin flushed rose
color.
“Will Condon is free to go where
he pleases,” she said, “there was no
engagement between us, Mamie.”
“Not ’xactly,” Mamie Rose replied
unmoved. “Mighty close to it though,
honey.”
But Chrissie had gone flying up¬
stairs. Perhaps, after all, It was Will’s
absence which made the parlor so
very empty at evening.
All that week the bungalow was si¬
lent, with blinds drawn close where
bright lights had been. The defiant
newcomer was ill. Doctor Benton
pronounced her trouble the prevailing
epidemic. Miss Wendell would be all
right soon, he said, with proper care.
But care of any kind seemed Impos¬
sible to procure.
In her dark room the sick woman
lay helpless and alone. There were
many unopened boxes of flowers about
Chrissie recognized them as she en¬
tered. Chrissie sat down on the bed
at the sick girl’s side.
"I have come to make you comfort¬
able,” she said gently, “and I will stay
with you until you are better, If you
wish.”
Shirley wAdell reached up to
switch on the lights, widening, her
dark eyes stared into those other eyes
that people trusted; then her Ups
twisted a wry smile.
“It’s rather strange, isn’t It?” she
asked, “that you should come to do
tliis for me?” Weakly, she sank back:
tn her pillows.
“Mr. Will Condon has been coming
here a lot,” she said.
“Mr. Condon,” Chrissie replied, “la
free to go where he likes.”
Suddenly the girl leaned forward.
“But lie doesn’t like me,” she said
excitedly. “He never really has liked
me. One way or another, I’ve coaxed
him here, and made him jealous of
you, because you see—I was jealous
myself, of your popularity. Just
wouldn’t seem to understand it.”
Impulsively the hot hands reached
out to Chrissie’s warm and kindly
clasp.
“I understand—now*,” Shirley Wen¬
dell said softly. •
His Practice.
“The revenue agent who used tc bf
a fireman seems singularly successful
in moonshine raids.”
“That’s because he is used to still
alarms.”
