CAN TARE NO CHANCES,
A coupletof weeks ago the four-
year-old son of Mr. J. B. Hoover,
while playing with a• neighbors', dog,
was wounded on the • cheek either by
the muzzle the .animal' was wearing OL'
by the teeth of the dog it was not
known which.. The. wound was im-
mediately cauterized and the dog des-
troyed and hie ahead sent to. Toronto
for examination. Word was received
on Monday .that the, -dog's .brain was
found to be affected with rabies and
on Tuesday Mr. Hoover took his ht -
tie boy to Toronto for treatment in
the Pasteur ,Institute.. In- this ease
the- chances of infection are very
slight,t but in such a. matter. ;no chance
at all can be taken.
So. ninny eases are being reported
in different parts of the province that.
anorn stringent measures may have
to be taken to prevent the :spread of
this disease,

evs, who are expected in .Clinton, by

of Stratford in which they play.
Much regret was expressed at the
absence of Mr. W. Jackson and dur-
ing the courseof the day's proceed=
Ings a .resolution of sympathy was
passed .and sent to him by his re-
presentative, i'rr. Fair.
Dui -for :mid. trifling 'circumstance
Mr.' Fair enjoyed. his day in Stiat-
ford with the committee. The cir-
cumstance
ir-
cu st nce was this,When: the work
.of the day had been cominleted the
'ntennbers were bent On enjoyment and
they said to Mr. Fair: "Npiv :.you
are representing '-Billy' Jackson and
if he were here hcwould sing 'Irl
the Evening; by the Moonlight' can
you sing it ?" and 'Jim,' wishing to
be obliging, said• he could and start-
ed.. But after the first note or two
they all with: one accord beganto
groans and throw bowls at him and
when he asked in an injured tone what
the matter was, they answered.: "You
may represent 'Billy' Jackson in some
respects, you wear bigger shoes and
fill mere space but you can't sing.
Go on home andsend us 'Billy!' "
Mr, ) Fair, while endeavoring to over-
look the matte'', still thinks it . was
a most 'unkind way in which for re-
ceive his' well -meant efforts..
