FOR EVIDENCE AG A, DOG POISONERS"" VALUABLE DOG 3 SILT' For Keveral weeks now aa r; of dog poisoning has been pi. . in the city. Last week tha vwl and beautiful shepherd dog 1 ing to John DeVersy was p- '. The total number of dogs pel- . the last month has reached u C and from reports none of th? ; rJc :nt ; "" f Z2. . la r en were hums nor harmful. Lot a I Talon has it that the poison h:, I :n placed in the streets and all:; ". to that all dogs happening along bt ntJ a good chance of getting- the r : ' -:n. If the dogs are a nuisance to th I "ople who are putting out ths i . ' ji they can go to the Marshall cf thai City" and he will kill the dog hur -s-ely. There la no reason for such lahuman practice as poisoning the d: Imagine a dog which finds a choice tid-blt in some alley or street and cats it. There is a deadly poison in it and immediately the poor brute f . an Intense pain. He tries to r; home and master and probably i :- ceeds in reaching both. Ha tit; the feet of his master looking up f r aid while his body Is twisted vllh convulsions as the poison eats c -. :? tears out his life. He rolls and git 5 vent to mournful, pitiful, al: t human cries, and has terrible con 1Bions which rack him tru and tl His master looks on powerle- j aid him and reading the pleadir : the dog in his eyes which are growing dim. Many times the lives in pain and misery for hr.;.: the poison slowly but surely pr-r-fcc 1 invented by Gcri.-j cr Indiana this method of killing dosa. j The dog is the animal most near to man. The animal which can understand and appreciate h)3 uiaster's moods. The animal that is always ready to obey and that is willing to give his life iu a fight for his owner. He has a right to live and is personal property upon which tax la paid. Many a lovely farm, house is guarded and secure on account of tne faithful watch dog. Childea in cities and in the ocuntry are guarded daily by the ever faithful guardian the dog. There are people here who will kill the guardian and pet ot children, the watch dog of the household, the hunting companion, and the shepherd by such cruel. In human practise as poisoning. A big reward has been offered by citizens here to find out who !s 1 1 1 t . i unmy or mese crimes The dog owners are hoping to have enough evidence soon to secure a conviction.

Laundry - People Evidently Have Their Bump of Sensitiveness Quits Weil DevcScped. Herbert Johnson, the ha nous 11hastrsitor, sidd at a dinner in New York : "Laundry i-eople are the most sensitive folks on earth. Other ' classes are good nature! when I cartoon them, but anything against the laundress causes the whole trade to get Its back up. "I did a comic once about the way some laundries wre"Ic a man's shirt. Well, a laundry trade paper came out the nest week with a two-column attack on im. t rie sentence 1 reuieuiber was: "Probably this artist ru-vei- wore a sltirt in his life." "And theu, apropos of a thumbnail sketch about the way a laundry had wrecked a white dress tie, the paper added: "'If the artist knew anything about fashionable society he would understand that gentlemen do not tie their own ties, but buy them ready made." BEGINS TO SEE THE TRUTH Old Oliver Onken Realizes He Is the Captive, and Not the Victorious Capturer. "My ?on-in-!aw, Luther Stacker, doesn't amount to anything at all, and yet, paradoxical us it sounds, he is a howling success in his chosen specialty," related old Oliver Onken. "He sings a squealing tenor, he can second the motion all right, susd will be as useful as anybody else to count on when the cholera breaks out. He mslit possibly do weil managing a snail farm. In short, lie has neVsf really accomplished anything execjt. to work me so adeptly that he Is able to keep better dressed than I can lit-" ford to, and by that means maintain a higher standing in the eotismunity than 1 enjoy. Just how he manages it I do not exactly understand, "'but somehow he keeps right on putting it over rue. I cannot kill him, and he wiH not leave. When lie broke into j a i.waeti I was gcim.o a son-in-law, but now It looks painfully like my son-in-law has got me." Kansas City Star. She Was a Peach. Three-year-old 21 ary Ellen demand a reason for everything and some of the reasons are mother's sudden inspirations. .Sornef iii)is she passes them on to other eh:!dr -rj. The other afternoon a grouji of children was talking to the wee miss, all giving her that sort of confection known as "tally." Mary Ellen ate it with relish. Sud denly she turned to the child nearest her, "Do you think I'm pretty? Don't you think I'm sweet?'' she asked He answered in the affirmative. "Well," she srnih-d sweetly, "my mamma found me in a peach basket." Two or three of the children giggled but twelve-year-old Arthur sprang gallantly to the rescue. "No wonder you're such a little peach," he returned. Lost Her Pie. In an effort to combat the high cost of eating, a girl liTing on the Illinois car line sometimes carries a midday lunch. Recently in iixing up her lunch she failed to put in a small pie, so rather than untie the package she simply put the pie in a paper sack and put it In a pocket of h-r coat. She had to stand all the way downtown and in seme manner the pie got crowded out of her pecket so that when she started to leave the ear the pie fell out of the sack face down on the floor of the car. And it was a soft berry pie, too. Indhiiiapolis News.
