birds.
Deer are also reported to be pres

last season. Several nimrods are
preparing to bravo the rainsoaked
nndoibrush and trees in an effort
to bring in the first deer of this sea

nuspital last night it was stated that
his condition is serious.
“Though in the past the district
has had several cases of the disease,
known technically as ‘lethargic ence
phalitis,' few, if any, have 'asted as
long as the one now under treatment.
3o far as known, the case of Major
Pullen is the only one now in the j
District.
"Major Pullen was stricken with
the disease while on duty at the cus
tom house in Norfolk. Va. it is
understood that he first was taken
to Fort Munroe for treatment, but i
that a short time ago he was Irons ,
ferred to Walter Heed for treat

handling of such cases are availible." ;

PIOUS FOLKS FROM OVER COUNTRYSIDE
FASHION STATELY TEMPLE OF worship
Just aa the pilgrim fathers drew
logs from the wilderness and fash
ioned their first temple of worship,
•o the folks near Peerless, Ind., in
the famous limestone district, have
built a more pretentious tabernacle.
It nestles on a peaceful road in the
country. Built of the aristocratic
material at hand, the church with
Its beauty and substantial elegance
might well grace a handsome city
boulevard.
The direct outlay of money was
comparatively nothing. In the
nearby quarry of W. McMillan &
Son there- were plenty of irregular
| stones which had been cut off in
trimming the big square blocks
which go into the finer buildings of
the cities. These were contributed
i free by the McMillans. This was
important, but a principal cost of
1 all building nowadays is the labor.
! This, too, was contributed, l.ed by
I the Rev. O. M. Cox, Mt. Pleasant
l Christian church, who worked as a
stone cutter in his youth, quarr,
men, carpenters, masons and farm
ers from over the countryside join
ed in the task. With the break of
dawn and in the evening twilight
after the regular day’s occupations,
[they could be seen diligently at
iwork. At length the structure was
(completed. The dedicatory services
1 were largely attended. Many wor
shipers came from distant poinis.
Gazing proudly at the hardy men
who had aided him, the Rev. Cox
.said simply: “By their works ye
I shall know them."
