Yet the league is on the anny side of tho truth. In spite of a good many Bill Sykeses and their dogs, the average man who is fond of animals is more likely to de gentle to his human-folk.

Moreover some of the children’s essays show great observation and ghrewdness. “The cat has sharp claws and walks very soft” is one of the most vital and pithy summaries of the animal that we have ever met. ——-4+ {ETO SAVE WORK—DON’T MAKE IT. A T LAST New York has got around to clean-up week. Most towns had it-long ago in the spring and tried to start the habit for the summer. New York is late but determined. Beginning to-day Boy Scouts and “white wings” will join forces, charge upon the litter and flying papers of the greater city, and fight it out until they can announce victory and the annihilation of the enemy. The, Park Commissioner graciously approves the movement and offers to give the Scouts plenty to do in Central Park—which this newspaper has repeatedly urged as the best field for the boys’ efforts. But good as this scouring of the city may be in its way, its best | ¢ work should be in arousing an instinct and habit among careless peo: to refrain from throwing away papers and refuse in public places in the first place. Don’t make the litter. A heedless hand drops a newspaper and starts a muss that renders a whole block untidy for a day. a window to make an unsightly and unsavory street. cause.

Servia {s about as large aa Massachusetts and with a population scarcely equal to Indiana's, yet with standing army 100,000 strong. Far latger than the standing army of the United States. A swineherd named Karageorge helped wrench Servia free from Turkey. Then another peasant named Obren had Karageorge murdered and neizod the throne. A later Karageorfeovitch (or descendant of Karageorge) snatched the throne from an Obrenovitch. Then, by assassination, the Obren- ovitches again held the throne, And at last Milan Obrenoviteh was king, The Job carried an income of $235,000 a yenr.
