French country folic still believe In witches and when a young man fell HI of pneumonia neur Lyons the local sorceress was called In to prescribe. Her "euro" was strange. Sometimes sho used a balm to the sick man's chest, an application of freshly killed pigeons, rabbits and other game. A squirrel was desired for this case, on account of its gruvlty, slnco fresh squir rel was tho best remedy of all, but a squirrel could not easily be had with silt paying too high n price. So a cat was bought and hklnned alive nnd tied upon the boy's chest whllo the cut's flesh was still warm. The boy died and the wom an was arrested. It Is very doubtful whether sho will be convicted, since the neighbors have a great respect for her pqwer and uro afraid to give testimony igalnst her. To nttrtaln Veterans.
