There is an ancient custom under
which the olive groves around Da-
mascus are guarded by official watch
men to prevent the trees being
stripped by thieves. But on a GER
tain date the governor, or some
magistrate, issues a proclamation
warning all owners Of olive trees
that they must pick their fruit, for
after a certain date it will become
public property. If a farmer has his
crop only half gathered when that
date arrives the public win gather
it for him.-Chicago Chronicle.

NHE Chicago Humane society, through Mr.. John
ShorthaI, has recommended a revival OF the public
whipping post. The Humanity" Of Mr.. Shorthal,
like that Of a great many "charitaby inclined, seems
~R@aV to be for the protection Of all animals except the
4IANgGHN human variety. The whipping post for men and
$500 women and a heavy fine for those who inhict like
punishment on horses or dogs. 1t is the same discrimination in
degree that is manifested by the woman Of ultra fashion for her pet
dog in preference to her children.
a horse is vicious, a man will set about to tame it, usually
witt 6rm and gentle methods. 1t is taught, trained, coaxed and fed.
Its value exceeds that Of the "docie plug" which ANY woman can
drive" because the very viciousness indicates spirit" and go" II
more study and care, towards greater helpulness were bestowed upon
socaled vicious men and women, especially young ones, it would
often be found that their faults were also on the result OF over abun-
dn vitality and misdirected ambition.
Crime is a disease, like insanity. 1t may be only an attack.
II NAV be incurable; certainly brutality in kind is not the cure for it.
1t is fashionable nowadays to buy dog licenses, breed bench cats
and paw fortunes for horses that might support several families for a
y@r.
A neatly gowned woman will trail her skirts over the dirty pave
ment to berate a cart driver for the under-fed appearance OF his
horse: she seldom, if ever, pauses to notice that the driver is underfed.
If it were "the thing" to lavish as much care on abandoned chill
drn as is given to these dogs, cats and horses, there would be less
need for the humane" whipping post.
CHARITY AS A FAD, HUMANITY ON A SALARY AND

HE WAS TRYING TO
STOP THE TROUBLE
WHEN JOHN HOLLAND GoT A KNIFE
IN THE WA.ST-WlLL NOT
TELL WHO DID 1T.

John Holland, a miner while acting as
peacemaker between two quarrcling men,
in King Lowry's saloon, was stabbed
with a knife The wound was inflicted
with small blade, and DR.. Mcintyre, who
dressed the injury, stated that it was not
dangerous.
II appears that two men. considerably
under the influence Of liquor were en-
gaged in a sort OF wrestling match which
soon took on the dimensions Of a fight.
Holland attempted 10 interfere and sue
ceeded in getting them apart, After that
he walked out TO the front Of the saloon
and made the discovery that he was
wounded. Blood flowed from knife
wound OH his left side slightly above his
waist. lie was taken TO st. James hos
pital and later went home Unless blood
poisoning or some Unforeseen conplica-
tion sets in there is little danger from the
wound.
Holland would not say who did the cut
ting and the police have nothing to work
on. He steadfastly adhered to his first
declaration that he did not know who did
it and it would do him no good il he
did Inquiries al the saloon failed to give
any further particulars Of the fight. No
one saw him struck and many who saw
the fight were unaware that any one was
injured.

Venezuela have been heavy losers All

GERMANS HAVE NOT YET
ANSWERED Mr.. CASTRO

Berlin, Dec. I6.-The German govern
ment has not yet replied to President Cas-
tro's offer of arbitration, being still in cor
respondence with the British government
on the subject. 1t is ntimated that Ger
manys ready reply is not likely to be ready
for some days.
The opinion in the cabinet appears to be
that President Castro's proposals are mere
ly move in a game designed to see what
Germany and Great Britain are now will
ing to do and as test also of American
public feeling. The prevailing idea here
at present is that it is too late to arbitrate
and that the acceptance of the offer to do
SO would place Germany in the position of
having put her hand to the plow and as
looking backward. The governments con-
Germ at the present moment is to guide
the application of force SO as to avoid
what could be taken internationally as a
declaration of war, resulting in the recog-
milton OF Venezuela as belligerent. The
conduct of the United States is regarded in
diplomatic opinion here as being strong
and dignifed and the state departments
handling of the affair is looked upon as
establishing Europe's recognition of the
Monroe doctrine, because every step of
Germany and Great Britain was made after
taking into account what the United States
thought of it. At the same time it is
claimed that events in Venezuela are saw
ing the United States many future COM
plications by letting the Latin republic
understand that the United States will not
protect them from the effects of financial
delinquency and internal disorder.
