Spare the Chickens and Kill the Dogs.

Mr. b. NJ. Cox was a few weeks ago
the happy possessor of 26 fat, laying
hens, and the number has now been re-
duced to three. Badly fed, hungry,
lean, lank dogs killed them day by
day. The hens were worth something,
the dogs worthless. Stone the ours
and let the hens 60 free.
We have great respect for valuable
dog, and such are generally cared for,
but there is no room in the wide, wide
world for a prowling, stealing, sneak
ing, snarling cur. Send them out Of
town, to the dogs hunting ground, and
let our hens live and lay.

the public or their associates
suppose them to be doing. On
boards of various kinds this
abuse is glaring. Men accept
such positions and are assumed
to familiarize themselves with
the work and duties appertain-
ing thereto, and to be doing
their duty, looking after the in
terests of the institution and
guarding the public's concern
therein, when in fact they have
paid no attention to either; do
not know what the institution is
doing, and allow the money
that Sustains it to be uselessly
squandered, and it's very pur-
pose perverted No one seems
to be especially to blame in all
this, for it has become so com
mon as to call for no particular
blame in any one case; but all the
same it is a great evil, and leads
to waste of public money and
allows public institutions to be
demOralized and robbed of much
of their usefulness. The abuse
is one of long standing, and there
seems to be no remedy: nor will
there be until a more alert pub
lie spirit comes into force, which
will compel those having to do
with public affairs to understand
the matter in hand, and to carry
out its purpose in the most bene-
fetal and business like manner.
The rule announced by Presi-
dent Roosevelt would be a COM
plete cure, if all would follow it.
When shall we have a public
opinion that will compel its OBJ
servance by all in public station.
