The Mayor says that he thinks more Of his

OF which the best-bred dog in the land should
be ashamed.
There are, a whole lot Of Apgoro cats in st.

This occurrence caused the owner, OF the cat
to write 2 letter to Police Captaln McLoughlin
begging him to use. his power to bring the
Mayor to terms. The writer asserted posi-

party.
The Captain had n dclicacy about tackling
the Mayor on a subject about WHICH he was
known to he sensitive, but he did It.. Now he Is
sorry. When he suggested that the dog be
killed for the sake OF peace tho Mayor told him
Of himself. He wouldn't have him killed for n
whole stack of cats. He said other things. too.
and the Captain went away convinced that the
Mayor meant what he said. He has written TO
his correspondent that tho matter Is without
the pale OF his power. 1t is said now that sew

The womnn's Club for the Study OF Life met
yesterday in the Tuxedo. at Fifty-ninth street
and Madison avenue. TO discuss the topic. The
Right ofth Child to Be Well Born" A paper
on the subject was read by the Rev. Mrs. Mehel
L. MacCoy Of the Church Of the Christ Life.
Among other things she said:
I'm recent years much attention has been
given to the proper dressing and nourishing OF
infants. The moro progressive mothers havo
even ventured to refuse to bandage their new
born babes with rolls OF linen, trusting that He
who fashioned them in the womb knew the
needs OF the little body and gave 1t before
birth its necessary support. Some have learned
that bnby's collie Is not so much an inheritance
from tho time that babies first were as 1t is the
result OF overlooking by the solicitous mother.

but rather for the State. 1t was a matter OF
expedlency. a benefit to the nation. and not to
the child considered In itself. .
1T Ia only OF recent years that the rights OF
children have to any great degree been con-
sidered at all. One need only to look into the
literature OF fifty years ago. Scarcely a book

as to well-niRh take the Joy Of living out OF the

may be called the child's age as well as

closely connected that to advance the one is TO
