HUNDREDS OF SHEEP DYING.

Farmers Have Lost Entire Fiscka by Peculiar Ailment. Nobloavllle. - What is known as the "nodular disease," for which there id aid tu be no remedy, is killing hun dreds of sheep in Hamilton and ndJolnltiK comities, according to Dr. J. V. Klotx. Instructor In the Indiana Veterinary colbw, who lives in this city. He xnys thai not only have hundreds of sheop died with the disease, hut that many mure animals are alck. Somo farmers have lost their entire flocks. The disease Is said to be tho result of a small worm, which buries Itself in tho walls of tho bowels, where it cannot bo reached. When sheep become affected, Ute germ finds lodgment in tho soil, and the only safe remedy Is to keep sheep off tho farm at least two or three years. Tho disease is very contagious at this season of tho year. It is not a new infection, for in years past it has caused many Indiana farmers to abandon the raising of sheep. So many flocks in central Indiana are now affected that It looks as If othor farmers will be forced to quit the business. Dr. Klotz further says that the malady is becoming so genoral over the country that butchers are already beginning to import their sausage casings. U. S. Supply Depot LcJses. Jeffersonvillo.

Under the new ruling, however, only supplies for the department of the lakes will be bought here, and this will cause the curtailment of the force of employes to a small number. The local depot has been considered ono of tho most? important under the war department, and during the Spanish-American war almost all the supplies for the army wore furnished from this point.

"During a revival In Texas," said Philip R. Hangs of Toledo, O., his turn for a story having come, "a negro was reputed to have had visions about Heaven and hell. His boss called him up and interrogated him as to what he saw In both places, and first as to what the white men and darkies wero doing in Heaven. 'Lord, boss, tho white men was all a-tllting back in their chairs, with their heels on the banisters, a-smoklng cigars, and tho niggers was down on their knees ashining up their golden slippers.' Then as to what was going on at tho other place. 'Ef you believe me, boss, every single white man had nlggor in his hands a-holdin him up between him and the flames.' " Washington Herald. What Did He Mean? For a number of years a bitter feud had existed betwon tho Browns and Perkinses, next door neighbors. Tho trouble had originated through tho depredations of Brown's cat, and had grown so fixed an affair that nelthor party over dreamt of "making up." One day, however. Brown sent hi3 servant next door with a peace-making note for Mr. Perkins, which read: "Mr. Brown sends his compliments to Mr. Perkins, and begs to say that his old cat died this morning."

We usually expect the doctoi to put us on some kind of penanco and give us bitter medicines. A Penn. doctor brought a patlept something entirely different and tho results are truly Interesting. "Two years ago," writes this patient, "I was a frequent victim of jcuto indigestion and biliousness, being allowed to eat very few things. One day our family doctor brought mo n small pneknge, saying he had found something for me to eat, at last. "He said It was a food called GrapeNuts, and even as its golden color might suggest, it was worth Its weight In gold. I was sick and tired, trying ono thing after another to no avail, but at last consented to try this new food. "Weil! it surpassed my doc .or s fondest anticipation nnd ovory day slnco then 1 havo blessed tho good doctor and tho inventor of GrapaNuts.
