Children's Pets.

If one may ever state general
truth applying to all children, surely 4
safe one to venture would be that they
have, without exception, passion for
animals. Dr. E. E. Hale, in speaking
to the friends of the Animal Rescue
league recently, put in a plea for pets
among city children. 1t has been
said that persons who live in cities
are less human than those who live
in the country because the former are
unused to having animals about them.
A longing for pets is strong in the
heart of every child. Everywhere
children yearn for something alive
which shall be their very own. Flor
entine babies guard carefully the wire
cage that holds a chirping cricket. the
little ones of Japan delight in their
captive firefies that flash their lights
through boxes of plated grass, the
tiny, fur-clad Esquimaux rolls about
on the floor of his igloo with bear
cub, the African child frolics with his
parrot. the East Indian with his mon
goose, and our little people are never
SO happy as with their white mice,
rabbits. doves, dogs, cats and canaries.
The parents, watching, with interest
ed eyes. the fraternizing of his boy or
girl with the animals of wood and
field, has duty laid upon him of of
seeing that the creature in question
is well cared for, according to his
peculiar needs. No normal chile
would willingly hurt his pet. but
might neglect it. and If he forgets The
needs of living thing, whose earthly
Providence he is, he should be depriv-
ed of it until he shows an altered
mind.

Exploited n Penny Craze

A London paper tells of the way in
which a shopkeeper exploited the pre-
vailing craze for collecting pennies OF
this years issue. In the window OF
his shop he displayed a notice: Five
shillings given for 1901 pennies" A
passerby entered, offered him a 1901
penny and asked for the shillings.
"Oh, yes" said the shopkeeper, but
that is only one penny. Where are
the other 1,900?"

Cincinnati, April 23.-At Parkers-

At Charleston, w. Va. over three

Pekin, April 24.-Many applications
have been made to Mr.. Rocl<hill and
Gen. Chaffee by Chinese of all degrees
for the retention in China of the
American troops until the general
withdrawal OF troops of all the pow
ers. Many of those who are making
this request think the withdrawal of
the Americans will make the others
remain longer. There are also peo-
pie who do not desire to see any of
the soldiers go, fearing anarchy and
an uprising against foreigners. The
soldiers who return do so with all the
honors of war.

He was as fussy in his manner as hen with

Who Shall Guard the Gate of the

Peliin, April 2i.-Field Marshal Won
Waldersee has made an application
that the gate of the Forbidden City
be guarded by German troops after
the departure of the Americans Gen.
Chaffee has replied that American
soldiers will continue to guard the
gate. At this the Germans are indig
nant, saying this impugns their hon
tsty. and that If the United States dc.
sires to do her share of policing the
city she should leave behind enough
troops for that purpose; that merely
few men belonging to the legation
guards should control the gate which
will be within the German quarters
can not be allowed. If Gen. Chafee
persists in this course diplomatic rep
res entations will be made in the mat

Washington, April 24.-Systematic
frauds practiced on the lines of the
Washington Traction & Electric Co..
10 an extent of probably $4,000. have
been discovered. and eight of the en-
ployes. six of whom are conductors
and two fireInen. are under arrest on

ers and John w. Dodson, conductors.
Going On Several Months.
The operations, il is claimed. have
been. going on for several months.
The punched tickets turned in by the
conductors are first checked up at
the Offices and then burned by en-
ployes. The investigation that has
been in progress, it is stated, dis
closed that many of the tickets. in
stead of being destroyed. were saved
and sold TO conductors AT 81 per 100.
and that the conductors who bought
them substituted them for good tick
cts. This was done by turning in the
old tickets to the company al the
close of the each day, the same num-
Der of good tickets being retained in
the pockets of those who were in the
conspiracy. II is also alleged that in
many cases the number of fares rung
up and the number of passengers on
trips have shown a wide divergence.
Fireman Cadarr's Bond
Fireman Cadarr's bond was fixed
in the police court at 100000. The
cases will come up for a hearing in
court probably Wednesday. When de-
tectives arrested Cadarr. the latter
carried a lunch basket in which were
found almost a thousand punched
tickets, supposed TO have been taken
from the furnace at the company's
plant where the tickets are usually
destroyed. Later detectives found
1000 tickets of the same kind in a
trunk at Cadarr's home. Cadarr is
married and IS IS years old. His was
the first arrest. He made frank adj
mission of his part in the affair. and
told the detectives that others were in
il with him.

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbing
sound or imperfect hearing and when il Is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
