reputation of being polished members
of the canine swell set. Throughout
the banquet the pariah was dignifed,

eventually wound up in a fight over
the possession of a turkey drumstick

was brought on, they danced on the
table and Tapped water audibly from
the finger bowls, while Fags adhered
strictly to the conventionalities.
Two tables were spread for the cats
and dogs and two turkeys and a loaf
of bread formed the viands. The cats
were fed early in the afternoon and
in the presence of an admiring throng
of spectators sat demurely on their
stools and tie the siices of white meat
as they were served. The cats feast
passed off without disturbance and
the feline contingent, after few
vocal solos and choruses, was re-
turned to the wire cages without
scratch being inflicted.

newcomer FagS, on account of his
looks, but after bath the dog looked
better and was allowed to sit at the
table. The poodles. both of which
have been inmates of the institution
for a week, sat on his right, while a
blooded bull pup whose forelegs
looked as if he had been practicing the

Military Surgeons.

The Spanish war has brought in its
train a vast number of momentous
problems for solution by the military
surgeons of the United States. Co
operation is essential to the accom-
.rlishment of the task. Deployed all
along the advancing line of ciyiliza-
ton, the medical officers of the goth
century are less than ever in touch
with one another, and less than ever
accessible to the inspiration of one
another's progress The difficult but
indispensable work of combining CO.
operation with this unavoidable isola-
ton is one of the functions of the
Association of Military Surgeons of
the United States, which, by its pub
locations, will afford to it's members
the most recent information upon the
work done, not only by its national
services in foreign stations, but rron
the auxiliary work of the state forces
and the national bodies at home.

Herr Plank defines white light as

the energy in different regions of the
spectrum; secondly, by the law that

within which the energy may be con-

energies squares of the amplitudes)

absolutely irregular fashion-"irregu-

Waycross, Ga. Dec. 2-Burglars are
business houses were robbed Saturday
night. The burglars entered E. H.
Crawley's real estate Office, the Chero-
kee Pharmacy and Guilfords meat
market. From Mr.. Guilford's they OBJ
tanned about $50 in cash, and at each
of the other places a small amount of
money was obtained. Mr.. E. H. Craw-
ley is tax collector for the city of
Waycross, and Saturday about $500
was paid in to him. Fortunately this
amount was deposited in the bank, and
the robbers found only about $3.50 in
the cash drawer. Entrance was gained
to this place by forcing open the front
door.
The window of the ice cream parlor
OF the Cherokee Pharmacy was forced
open, and the burglars entered in this
manner. Besides SO or 81 which was in
the cash drawer the burglars robbed
a small bank of several dollars which
had been placed in the drug store as
contribution to the Industrial Or
phan Home at Macon.
Guilford's meat market was entered
through the front door which was
forced OPEN Mr. Guilford's safe con-
tanned about $50, and it was not lock-
ed. The burglar opened the small iron
vault in the safe with hatchet, zsld
with but little trouble obtained the
cash. 1t is believed that the burglaries
were done by white man. but no clue
sufficient to make an arrest has so far
been obtained
