was intended to have the exchange of
greetings and the commingling in a
social way on Friday night but neither
of the midgets felt so disposed after
their work of the evening. AS the little

"CRIME" AMONG ANIMALS.
Evil Deeds and Proponaities Among
Brutes Corresponding to Those
Among Humans.

Among Humans.
From Leisure Hour
Facts show beyond question that in
the animal kingdom there are many
curious equivalents of crime among
men. Cannibalisn Is not unknown in
the animal world Wolf eats wolf, and
in certain circumstances, and despite
proverbs to the contrary, dog Will eat
dog Well-nourished dogs are not Of
ten guilty of this savage custom,
though it has been observed where
necessity did not impe!; but Arctic
travellers have frequently fed their
famished Esqumo team on the cur
cases of brethren that died from eff
fects Of cold or hunger, and under such
conditions mothers have devoured their
puppies with no hesitation or lack of
appetite. Domestic cats have killed
and eaten their young. and rabbits
have been known to feed on ono anoth-
er even when plentifully supplied with
food to their liking. The rat Is nearly
always a cannibal under stress OF cir
cumstances. The cannibalistic propen-
stiles of the pike need very little slim
ulus. Young crocodiles are occasionally
gobbled by their parents, or at least
by their mothers. Warrior ants devour
in fury the ants they have killed in
battle.
A certain famous case in the reptile
house mt the Geological Gardens was
evidently not one of genuine cannlbal-
ism, but serpents have been guilty of
the act. Infanticide, parrcide. matrl-
eide, and fratricide are aSgravating
circumstances of cannibalism in the
animal world. There are crimes known
to our calendar of which the only or
the chief motive appears 10 be the in
yeterate dislike of one individual (the
assailanD for another Uhe assaulted),
and these strange anlipathies exist in
the animal world, and are the cause of
assault and battery and often of the
death of both parties. Horses, dogs,
and monkeys furnish many examples
of violence proceeding from antlpathy.

A REMARKABLE INCREASE.
Fruits of Late Mission Shown in st.
Rose Blessed Virgins Sodality.

Since the recent mission at st. Rose
church, there has been Il remarkable
revival of interest and zeal in the
Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Yesterday there was enrolment of
members, which brought the number Of
candidates received since the close OF
the mission to 225. This is a most grati-
flying result and it speaks eloquently of
the fruits of the labors of the mission
AIRY fathers, as it was their efforts
which stirred up the interest and devo-
tion of the younger people who make
up the sodality.

CARS TO FOREST CITY.
Line Opened on Saturday Afternoon.
The Regular Schedule.

The trolley line to Forest City is now
open to traffic. The cars We're run
through for the first time on Saturday
afternoon. This was somewhat sooner
than was expected, the officials not call
culating on opening the line before the
middle of the week.
The opening of this line is to the
merchants of Carbondale the most
gratifying feature of the resumption of
street car traffic. The villages between
here and Forest City contribute largely
TO the trade of Carbondale, and the
loss has been sorely felt for the past
six months. This is an element that
has been lacking to quicken spring
trade, which is now expected to boom.

WHY STAY PALE.

A pity to see pale girls stay
pale and dull when it is so easy
to get SCOTS Emulsion.
One of the best things
SCOTS Emulsion does is to
give rich blood to pale girls.
The result of regular doses
of SCOTS Emulsion is an in
crease not only in the red
color of the blood and in the
appetite but in the good looks
and bright manners which
are the real charm of per-
feet health.
