A. L. Norris and David Koii was ap-
pointed to confer with the H. a. A. G.

a three %ornered fight with the First

TALK TO YOUR ANIMAL PETS.
They Enjoy Conversation and VIII
Answer I'm Their Own Way.

Our Dumb Animals.
The most important kindness we can do
any animal that lives with us or that
works for is to talk TO him. Ii Is all
very well to give our pets proper food and
care, but 1t is not enough. If man doth
of man have also higher requirements.
They need companonship; they need con-
versation. A team of horses that work
regularly together have their way of talk
ing with each other. A cat and her kittens,
a pair of prairie dogs. any of our home
ship of their own kind. do not really need
our intimacy: but they will never learn to
love us unless we take the trouble to be
agreeable to them, and they will never be
half so intelligent i'm understanding what
we expect them to do If We omit to say
clearly what we want, and If we are un-
willing to bear our part in friendly con-
versation.
You talk to your pets. of course boys and
girls; we have not supposed that you do
not Was there ever a boy who wouldn't Z
wags his tail, looks up into your face. licks
your hands, jumps about you, and when, in
citing to be carried on in an ordinary man
ner. he barks as loud as he can to give
fuller expression to his feelings.
Now. Il boy may have dog for pet,
and some other member of the family may
have a canary. The boy considers his dog
the finest. cleverest fellow in the world;
that cares for nobody and is easily fright
ened. Let him go UP gently to the canary
and talk to il for moment. The little
bird will cock It's head first on one SIDE
then on the other. and will chirp a delight
ed answer. ending. very probably in a
burst of happy song. After a while il will
know the boys voice and will show the
greatest joy whenever he enters the room
He can soon teach the little creature to
come at his call. and to take it's favorite
hempseed or a morsel of fruit from his
fingers. If one pays no attention at all

stupid. We know sad story of a canary
that had scrupulous care but was left con-
stantly alone. It's cage hung where it
could not look on. of the window and no
amusement of any sort was provided for
II. The poor little mite died of nothing IN
the world but solitary confinement.
yet sadder story is told of a child. A
woman who was not her mother simply fed
and clothed little Sirl. Day after day she
let the child crawl around the room where
she took in washing for a living. Not only
did she never pet her: she never even
spoke to her. Some good people noticed
that the little girl showed no intelligence
and could not talk. 1t was because she
had never been taught single word. The
little girl is now bright and happy with
kind friends.

TROUBLE WITH WHEELS.
The Free transportation of Bicycle.
Way Be Done away With.

Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
The free transportation of the bicycle is
proving vexatous matter TO the local
railroads as well as to those throughout
the country owing to the extent into which
the wheel has come into use MANY of the
roads have acceded to the popular demand
all the lines running out of the city hav-
ing granted this privilege with the excep-
tion of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The rapid increase in the number of rid
ers has resulted in flooding the roads with
wheels and the baggage cars of almost
every train that leaves or enters the two
cities on the various roads carry dead bag
gage of this description. The cars are
otter crowded to such an extent that there
is very little room left for other baggage
and the number of wheels checked fire.
quertly necessitates the addition of one or
more extra baggage cars TO the trains. All
this involves expense of which the rail-
roads are beginning to complain. as they
claim they are. generally speaking. losing
money by the free transportation OF the
wheels.
Many of the local officials are in favor of
making slight charge for the transpor-
tation of bicycles sufficient to cover the
expense only and not to leave any profit.
matter of protection and 1t is not unlike
ly thdt the local roads will decide to re-
turn to the former plan of making a charge
for the carrying of wheels before very
long.
This 1t is believed will be done within
short time by most of the lines through
out the country that now making no
charge for transporting the machines
T.. B. Taylor, general superintendent of
transportation of the Pennsylvania Com
pany, has devised scheme whereby much
car room can be saved in the baggage cal
that carry wheels. He has designed an ar
rangement of clamps fastened to the cell
ing or the car TO hold the
being clasped to each wheel of the bicycje
In the ordinary baggage car wheels can
be carried out OF the way up against the
eral of the cars of the Fort Wayne road
will be supplied with these clamps within
day or so and they will be generally
used on the lines of the Pennsylvania.

The First Money.
Good Words.

Good Words
1t is difficult to realize that prior to r
{. 200 there were no true coins. that jnCots
or buttons of gold and silver were weighed
at every mercantile transa ction. The I,yd-
ians OF Asia Minor are credited with having
been the first TO cast and stamp with an
official device small oval gold ingots of
definite fixed weight. an invention strange
ly delayed. but of inestimable Importance

been described as "a piece of metal of
fixed weight. stamped by authority of gov

exchange" Medals, though struck by au-
thority. are only historical records and
have no currency value

RUINED BY EXCURSIONS.
A Police Sergeant Calls Attention to
an EVIL of the Age.
Buffalo Express.

did you ever hear of man being
ruined by the habit Of going on excur-
sions?' asked a sergeant of police yester-
day. Its as bad as the drink habit. II
causes just as much trouble. and in these
warm months there are rst as many
people suffering the evil effects of IL as
there are those who are running themselves
with whisky. There are lots OF people who
can't help going on excursions, even
though they may have barely money
enough TO keep soul and body together.
Only the other day they had victim Of
the habit over in the Eighth precinct. he
was man named William Motz. who
was arrested for disorderly conduct. His
wife claimed he didn't support his family.
Motz simply had to go on excursions when
the mania came upon him. He couldn't
keep away from them. The result was
that he spent all his money in this way.
and finally brought up in a cell
did you ever notice what a lot of people
there are who study the posters advertis-
Ing cheap excursion rates! A good many
OF them are in the depth of poverty, and
vet they are always going on excursions.
That is why some OF them are so poor.
Why. 1 knew a family over on the east
side who spent just half their income go
ing on trips TO lake resorts. Every Sun
day the whole crowd of them would go
or Niagara Falls. or some resort. all
through the summer. They would leave
hack tiIl midnieht Then by Tuesday
they'd be of for other resort They
would go again on Thursday or Friday. and
sometimes the old man would so on an
getting only SO a month"; ana ng-
ured up that il cost the family somewhere
between $50 and so a month for steam m
boat fares. 1t was 4 mystery how tney
managed 10 live. The other day his house
went foreclosure sale, and L hear he
hasn't been able TO pay the grocer Tor a
year, and vet only last Sunday / saw the
whole family getting aboard an Elmwooc
Beach steamer. I'll bet half the people
IN the poorhouse are victims of the excur-
sion habit.

sergeant. after a pause. bat I've smut
