Cincinnati, February 26.?George Cole, of Trautmans station, sustained injuries in a fierce battle with a large Plymouth Rock rooster which will, in all probability, result in the loss of his eyesight. Cole, in the employ of C. J. Simmonds, was cooping up a lot of chickens for market. In one of the coops he found a large rooster that had "been confined in a cage and forgotten for a week. No food or water for three or four days had stirred a vicious spirit in the fowl, and when Cole * 1 - -,1. J reacnea in ine cage it set upon <txiu attacked him with such fury that he was for a time unable to beat it off. Cole's right eye was injured. The lid was torn partly away and the eyeball itself, broken. Blinded by the blood fromhiswound, Cole wasatthe mercy of the infuriated fowl until finally able to grasp its neck and choke it to death. Medical aid was . . summoned, and upon examination it was found that the eye was lost and ; that the other eye would be affected. Denmark Doings.

A quantity of whiskey was seized from both men, and it is said that evidence against , them is strong. Both are white men. They were arrested bnt have not been tried yet, as several members of council had to go to Bamberg to attend court. < The Methodists of Denmark have at last aroused themselves and will build a handsome new church in West Denmark, costing not less than $10,000. More than $5,000 has already been subscribed for this purpose, and Dr. S. D. M. Guess has donated a lot of 2| acres on which to erect the church.

Car Thieves Arrested. Last Friday night Policeman Dickinson arrested two negroes when a freight train stopped here. While passing along by the cars he heard a noise inside and called a brakeman to help him investigate. When they opened the car they found two negroes who gave their names as Jim Green and William Redmond. The negroes had entered the car at Branchville by breaking the window, and they had broken open almost every box of goods in the car. The car contained a lot of freight consigned to Blackville. _ They were put in jail and will be tried in court this week. One of the negroes admitted that he had recently served a sentence on the chain gang of Union county for car breaking. WHPARPS THE BABY. Keeps Ravenous Tenement Rats From Devouring infant. A baby tbat lives in a squalid tenement in tbe north end of Kansas City has a cat for a bodyguard to keep the rats from attacking it. The cat is tied ! to a bedpost. j "A few days ago," said E. T. Brigham of the Helping Hand institute, "I visited a small shop on Fifth street, one of those 'dumps' whore 'da banan' is sold in front and where a living room is maintained in the rear. On the floor in the living room lay a baby. I PICKETED TO THE BEDPOST WAS A CAT. sleeping. Picketed to a bedpost by a long, stout cord was a cat. I asked the woman who tied it there. " 'Sura,' she said, 'I tie a da cat , Keep offa da rat' "As we stood there we could hear < the rats squealing and rustling about 1 in the flooring. Occasionally one stuck 1 its head up through a hole. The cat ! rvrfrtlr nn Ifo aqra qnil +flP filoW n \/UiU yiiVA U|/ *V9 .. 1 movement of the tip of its tail told that ^ it was watching. Then I saw the wis- ? dom of picketing it so near. j "The woman told me that if the cat was not there the rats would be so bold they would swarm over the baby and bite it." A CHURCH GOING HORSE. Muggins Starts For Sanctuary When- j ever He Hears the Bells. H. B. Smith of Monterey, Mass., has < a remarkable bay horse, Muggins, 1 which appears to have more religious I Instinct than the majority of animals. The horse has been used by Mr. Smith for the past twenty-five years to draw . the family to the village church. In the last twenty years there have been only two Sundays on which Muggins ( didn't have to cajry some member of J the family to church. The second oc- ; casion was a few Sundays ago. A ' year ago the horse was turned into the : yard for a little Sunday recreation, and i nothing more was thought of Muggins until the far distant toll of the church ! bell was heard. Then the horse pricked j up his ears and, realising that he was ( late, started off at a quick pace for the 1 church. He went directly under the ; shed and took his accustomed place, . where he remained until it was time to i go home. ; A couple of weeks ago the horse ac- ( complished another remarkable feat 1 and made his second appearance at the J church alone. Mr. Smith had placed 1 Muggins in a stall and had left the ] stable door slightly ajar. The old bell ; tolled exceptionally loud and long, and 1 Muggins could not resist the calL In some manner he slipped his halter and < made his wa^ from the stable to the ' church, where he remained until the service was over. The parson patted the horse affectionately as he trotted up to the door and then started on his homeward journey. . Want Bachelors Taxed or Killed. The following petition from "the un- < married ladies of the town of Wake- J field" was recently received< by the < Massachusetts legislature: * "We, the unmarried ladies of the < town of Wakefield, petition your bonorable bodies for a law levying a'tax < upon bachelors, said tax to be gradu- ' ated as follows: From twenty to twenty-five years, $5; from tvfenty-flve to thirty years, $10; from thirty to thirtyfive years, $15; from thirty-five to forty : years, $20; over forty years, chloro- 1 form in large doses. "And your petitioners further represent that bachelors are a barnacle growth on the ship of society, impeding . its progress, and are of no earthly use except as pallbearers. "Wfe are not advocating this law because we are single. That concerns us the least If you don't believe it ask as and see." Chickens Blow Up Farm House. George Kallenbach, an Indiana farmer, who is a road supervisor, took a box containing a large quantity of dynamite home and placed it in the kitchen. Ho had some little chickens that were suffering from the inclement weather, and these were carried to the kitchen and placed In the box with the dynamite. Nothing was thought of the chickens pecking at the dynamite until there was an explosion, which shook the house to its foundation, wrecking the stove and kitchen furniture and tearing away the rear end of the house. Three members of the family were injured, an eye of one little girl, ' five years of age, being torn from the ? socket and her forehead badly eut by | a piece pt the broken stove. The opera house is now connected < on to the lines of the city's electric ( light plant, so that electricity can be used for the moving picture machine 1 this week. Several residences in < town have recently been added to ( the list of customers. Our people should use the lights if they expect \ the plant to be a good investment < for the town. It belongs to the peo- < pie, and upon them depends its sue- ; cess or sailure. The board of public \ works have no more interest in the j plant than any other citizen, and they < are trying to run it for the best ,in- ; terests of the citizens generally. \ The Judge Uses Forceful Language, j Judge W. B. Simmons, of Fincastle, ! Va., told the reporter that L. & M. * paint was used on his residence in 1882, ? and held its color well for 21 years; he ! furthermore said that 3 years ago he was * induced to use another paint and is sorry he did, because the other paint didn't make good. The judge will now always use L. & M., because he knows if any defect exists in L. & M. paint the house will be Repainted for nothing. The L. &M. zinc hardens .the L. &M. white t lead and makes L. & M. paint wear like iron for 10 to 15 years. Actual cost of L. & M. about $1.20 per gallon. Donations of L. & M. maae to churches.
