Dogs Buried in C Graves; Babies Suffer By DOROTHY DIX. A rich woman has given $3,500 to estab- ligh @ dog cemetery on Long Island, and the opening of this aristocratic burying ground for pampered Fidos is to be ac- omplished with much ceremony, with a dog stand- ing @t the gate to recets the - first canjee funeral that takes place. . What do you think of that? Isn't it enough to make even a dog howl with dist- gusted protest? What sort of a heart can a wo- man have who sives $3,500 to build a mausoleum for dogs, when there are tens of thou- sands of starving babies at her very door? What kind of a queer, distorted phil- anthropy can prompt such a gift that puts the welfare of a dead animal above that of a live human being? Thirty-five hundred dollars is a large sum. With it one can do much to al- leviate the sufferings of the world. With it one can save many lives and bring bappiness into many homes. With it one can change the whole course of exist- ence for dozens of people and lift them out of the slough of misfortune up on The best and surest way to save money I8 to buy a dlamond or a watch on credif at | LOFTS BROS. & CO. 869 — Ladies Ring ik solid gold Loftis “Per- fection” mount in= brilllant Diamond, at. 85 a Month 828—Ladies’ Wateh, O size, Hunt- ing case, fin- est quality gold filled, assorted en- ETavin g polished fin- =, “guaran- teed 25 yre. fitted with genuine El- Ein or Wi tham move- ment.

Hundreds of these babi will perish within the noxt three months who could be saved if the $3,600 that is going into this cemetery for dead dogs was spent on establishing piire milk stattons where good milk would be given away to the needy. . Go down any of the streets of the Bast Side on a hot, sweltering day and look at the white, pinched faces of the little children whose only playground is the blistering sidewalk and whose every {breath draws in the malodorous, contami- nating air that reeks of garbage cans and decaying fruits and vegetables and all the evil smells that abound where human beings live oo closely crowded together, | If the spot, amid the trees and grasses jof Long Island and swept by its sea winde that is to be set apart as sacred to the carcasses of dead dogs were turned into a playground for these poor living children, what a blessing it would be to them! How the fresh air would bring How the flabby muscles would strengthen as they romped among the daisies.. How the ozone of the country air would put to rout the demon of tuberculosis already be- gining to hover about the doomed little creature, Thirty-five hundred dollars would give many a child a week or two in the coun- try that would mean life and health to it. Surely an object is worth while as preserving the bones of a deceased | | | {of little children going up from & beauty |spot of nature are as pleasing to heaven as the wails and lamentations of a | neurotic woman weeping over the tomb {of her dead pug. Thirty-five hundred dollars would es- tablish a summer camp where poor work- | ing girls who have come to the last ounce (of their endurance could have a few weeks' rest and gather themselves to- | gether again and get fresh strensth and |courage to begin the battle of life once more. It would make a place where over- worked motuers with their lttle sickly | babes could go for a little whilo and be #iven a new lease onm life. It would buy an entrauce into a home for meny a for- lorn old woman where she would be safe | from the winds of winter and the suns of summer and be able to end her days |In peace and comfort. | Go along the streets and notice the children suffering from physical afflic- tions that will be an insurmountable handicap In life to them, but that you know could be easily cured by proper {medical attention. With $3,500 you could |send this child and its hacking cough to {some sanitarium where fresh air and rich | food would save it from consumption. | You could strighten the little cripple's |leg; you could save that child’s eyes; this other one from deafness; this oth- er's back could be'made well, and those who will go through life halt, and lame, and blind, could be made well and given | their chance in life, | So much could be done for humanity |with $3,500, and yet it is given to dead | doga!

Not every capitalist was on the side of capital. A badly frightened and very able man in the White House was fighting for his political Nfe. Into the arena there came at last o Aribbling of genuine patriots, who, like their forefathers, were ready to give for their country their lives, their sacred honor It wasn't all smooth safling by any means. Still, no new movement had ever | made such progress in so short a time, and the end was not in sight, nor the | beginning of the end. A man gaining in strength from day to day, among those who stood for the old order of things, and opposed Celestia was Tommy Barclay. He had a great fervid quality of honesty which no one could doubt, and he had to look on his face, very lean now trom short nights hard work and the constant buffetings of trains, of a young hero who has set \hlnuel{ to do to death a dragor that s | ravaging country-side, With experi- |ence and practice had come quick initia lll\. in cmergencies, case and the better !

Once, in a little northern town, stand- ing on an Improvised rostrum of pack- ing cases, and in the midst of addressing a large crowd of qulet, sensible people. who appeared to like him, and to like what he sald, it was Tommy's bad for- tune to have Celestia arrive from h snow-white car and steal his audience from him. His “sea of upturned became a pool, with more than half the faces turned away to try and see what all the excitement was about further down the street, and everyhody getting more and more restless and In attentive. A suldden tremendous cheering took the rest of Tommy’'s audience away from him on the run, with the exception of one young woman, who wore a thick, brown veil and was half concealed by th stem of an elm. For a moment or two Tommy did not see her. His eyes were on the backs and audience, and there was a smile on his face, half rueful resignation and half amusement until she called attention to herself by #peaking. “Don't stop,”" she said; “they all gone. It isn't fair to me. I've o & long way to hear you." With an exclamation Tommy leaped down from and ran to greet her Blackstone,” he exclaimed, “‘what the dickens are you doing way down here “I told you I came to hear you speak You are getting to be rather famous, you know, and I thought it was my duty (her eyes sparkled under the vei) (o hear you at least once.” “Well,” sald Tommy, smiling back, “you missed all the good parts.

Or shall we see if we can get near to Celestla to hear her?* Celestia’'s name fell from his lips with the utmost goolness and nonchalence, o that Mary Blackstone's heart gave a sudden bound of joy, and the hatred which she had for the girl from heaven abated somewhat “If you don't mind,” she said, “we'll not try (o get nearer to Celestia than we are now.

In a fow lows words the case was as fol- A small boy, aged 11, was In the habit of playing ball on the lawn in front of and close to his father's house. While indulging In this sport at ditferent times he broke three panes of glass In various windows. At first his tather roprimanded him gravely, but gently. After tho third accident he had a serfous talk with his son ‘See herm John, he said, “I know that you and your friends like to pl ball on the lawn, and T do not object to your doing so as long as no mischief results. But I cannot have you breal- ing any more windows. You must re- member that. If you cannot have venr game here without doing damage you must go elsewhere to play.’ “All right, father,” the .boy agreed. “But If we don't break windows, may play here® ‘Yea,” the parent replied, “you may, but you must not come so close to the house as to smash anything. And, John, if you do break another window I shall punish you. Understand “Yes, father, I understand.” “Remember, T mean what T emy. T have tried everything else to make you careful. You know I shall carry out my threat.” “Yes father." “Very well: that setties it.* Two weeks passed and all went well The boys confined their games to that part of the lawn that was at a distance from the house. Then, when they had become over-secure in their immunity trom accidents, they came nearer the house, and in batting a ball John drove it stralght through a cellar window While the boys were watching him he tried to act as If he did not care. But when his playmates had gone away, and ! his father had come home from busineas, John went straight to him where he sat in the library. “Father,” he pald, windo The father set his jaw resolutely. sorry, son. You know what I prom- ised.” “Yes, sir. T am ready.” And the father gave him a whipping. { He sald afterward that he ‘would have | proved himself a Har had he not done #o. He also sald that It was the hardest task he had ever had to perform, As 1 finlshed my recital there arose a chorus of exclamations. ““He was a brute!” declared one mother. Another sald, “He should never have made such a threat."” One man made himself heard above the others. ““That last statement is be- side the question,” he remarked, ““‘Even if the father should not have made the threat, it was made. This being the case as a man of his word he was compelled to thrash the kid. It w his manifest duty.” Of course, there were some who ugreed with him. Bul there were as many dis- senting volces.
