Many are out of work because they have
not gone in with all their might to prepare
themselves for what they had chosen. They
did not go in to win. If one who has a
task to do puts all his soul into it. and re-
solves that he will do it as we'll as it can be
done. no matter how simple it is. that per-
son will not be long out of employment.
The world has its soul worried out of it be-
cause of slOvenly work. Life is a burden
to those who hire employees because of
things half done. All depends on the spirit
with which one starts in life. The winner
selects his future carefully. He is bound to
no particular rut of success. He only
knows that whatever task he has selected
he is going to accomplish it as we'll as it is
possible to do it. and that in the long run
he is going to win. He may be out of en-
ployment. He may be forced to change his
occupation. But he still knows that in
him is good. faithful work. that there is a
field for it somewhere and it is his place to
find that field. The winner is he who
never does slovenly work and never lets
himself run down.-Industrial School Jour
nal.

CHARACTERISTIC IRREGULARITIES OF THE
CONSTITUTION.
(Report for Class C by E. l.. H.)

CONSTITUTION.
(Report for Class by E. L. H.)
The American Constitution has no prototype in
any prior constitution. The great merit of the
statesmen OF 1887 is that they suffered themselves
in all their positive substantial work to be gov.
erned by reality not by theories and specuations.
Even the preamble is characteristic. If a union
of states only had been intended they would have
said. I'VE the states" and if Of people, indie.
pendenty Of state organization, they would have
ordained, 1--WE the peoples" but neither one nor
the other would have been sufficient 1--WE the
people of the United States expresses that it
was to be u perfect union of states through and
by the people The characteristic peculiarties
are: (D The mode of formation (2) The division
of the supreme powers of government, between
the states in their united capacity and the states
in their individual capacity. This division of the
powers of government is peculiar to the United
States, and is an effective safeguard against dis

the other; each has its own sphere in which it

Each is Independent and complete in relation to
its work. incomplete and dependent the

confederate government but a mixture of both.

name one, judging by what was seen
yesterday. The driver of the wagon is
armed with what is known as a
'snare," which consists OF long stick
with loop of line wire at the end. As
soon as dog is sighted on the street
the driver of tine wagon dismounts. and,
with a whoop and yell worthy of a
Ct manche on the war path, starts after
his prey.
Look out dere, Gully" cries small
boy, as yellow and gaunt mongrel
comes dashing up the street with the
catcher in the rear. The people on the
street stop to view the sport provided
by the city for their amusement. and
soon a crowd has collected to take part
in the chase. The poor. hunted animal
knows that to be caught means his
death, and he makes every effort to es-
cape the fatal moose. Up the street
goes the crowd in pursuit, and for
time there is as much excitement as at a
corral n Kansas. Poor doggy, foaming
at the mouth and with bloodShot eyes,
is finally shared in an alley way by
the expert catcher, and is put into
the wooden cage on the wagon. The
crowd gives a parting yell as the
dignified blue coat makes note Of
the proceedings, and the driver mounts
his seat pretty well tired out by his long
chase. And so on they go from one
place to another, and the scene is re-
peated. but sometimes the chased dog

said the eXecutioner grimly.
Say, wacher yer giyin' me? Taffy, I
reckon was the lads query, but. when
it was explained to him that the law
demanded that sum from him in order
that he might keep his pet, he broke
into tears and sobbed as if his heart
would break. But there was no time
for sympathy, for another claimant for
lost canine was at hand
he was dressed in the height of fash

paiest pink. while his waist was encir-
cied by deep purple sash.
Say. chappie, have you seen my bull
pup he asked of the police officer.
ell, don't know your pup, but
there is one in there, and he may be
yours" was the answer given.
The pen was inspected, and the young
man fairly beamed with JOY as Hover
recognized his master. He paid the 50
Tor the license under protest, and when
the herce bull was released from the
pen the owner tried to look fierce, and
told the officer and the reporter that he

The society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals has often objected to
the method used fer catching the dogs
and destroying them, and a GLOBE rep
resentative yesterday set out on tour
of inspection ia order to secure some
information on the matter. Five police
officers have been detailed as catchers,
but they do not really catch the stray
canine: that work is done by the man
who drives the dog wagon. for it would
be beneath the dignity of wearer of
the blue and brass to be seen chasing
through the streets after poor home

ity making dog census, and bringing
into the fola the owners of canine pets,
who had forgotten to enrich the city
treasury by securing the required
license. The city is divided into five
districts. and each one is gone through
by the officers. both to secure license
money and at the same time catch the
stray dogs they may find running loose
on the streets. The manenr of catching

that could have been heard for blocks.
They were caught one at time as the
pen door was opened and put into the
iron cage which rested upon the ground.
When all were in the instrument of

was hoisted up until it cleared the roof
of the staging.

was dropped until the bottom touched
the water. The bowling of the dogs
was awful in its plaintiveness, and they
threw themselves around the cage in
their terror. With wild plunged the
cage was dropped out of sight in the
water. and the bubbles of the air rising
on the surface told of the tragedy being
enacted beneath.
After ten minutes the cage was raised

makes good his escape amid the jeerS of
the crowd attracted by the unusual
sight of the dog catcher at work. From
S in the morning to 4 in the afternoon
the work goes on. and then the eXecu-
toner gets in his deadly work. On the
upper ievee, little above the Wabasha

built, and the apparatus of death is
erected there On the ground two
wooden pens are built, and the
animals caught are brought there
