Joseph Rodgers, a broker of Pater
sou. 'X. J., who was spending a week
In Delaware county, N. Y? had an ex
citing experience with a wildcat, and
In the battle that followed he did not
come out the victor.
Mr. Rodgers was Ashing In the Dela
ware river, near Pepacton, and had
several fine bass lying beside him on
the river bank. Suddenly an animal i
leaped from the branch of the tree un
der which he was sitting and pounced
upon the fish. Mr. Rodgers thought It
was a cat from one of the nearby
farmhouses and, dropping his fishing
pole, grabbed it by the tall.
The cat turned on him, sprang upoh I
his head and clawed his face and
hands. Another fisherman came along
at this moment, and the cat leaped |
away from Mrr Rodgers and ran into |
the woods.
The newcomer told Mr. Rodgers that I
the animal was a wildcat. It has left |
Its marks upon him for the rest of his
life.
GIRL TURNS DARK BLUE.
She Poliehed Her Shoes With Indigo
and It Struck In.
The sklii of Mary Coffers, nineteen
years old, employed In the Allegheny
General hospital, Allegheny, Pa., Is
dyed a deep lavender color from head
to feet, and the physicians are making
a strenuous effort to save her life. The
case la baffling them, and It Is feared
she will die.
The young woman about two weeks
ago attended an outing, wearing a
new pair of shoes. She scuffed the foot
wear and In an effort to restore them
wed a quantity of Indelible Ink, which
she thought was shoe polish. After
wearing the shoes for several days
thereafter sho noticed thftt her feet
had been dyed a deep purple, but did
not say anything to those employed
with her. After making this discovery
she found the coloring was gradually
spreading over her entire body.
Finally other girls 1n the laundry
noticed a peculiar color In Mary's face,
but she only laughed when ail Inquiry
was made. She was taken seriously
111, and the physicians discovered her
plight. Upon' being pressed the girl
told the story.
The physicians have found that the
coloring used upon the shoes has been
absorbed through the skin on the feet
and by the blood has been carried !
through the entire body.
