Dogs and Cats Spoiled by Appetite
For Unnatural Tidbits.

For Unnatural Tidbits.
Possibly the dog world might afford
a better specimen of living skeleton
than one in the kennel next to tho
door of boarding place for animals,
but it would take days journey to
find him.
whats makes him 30 thinT was
asked of the attendant.
"He won't eat" was the reply-"that
is, he won't eat hospital food. He's
been spoiled Lots of dogs and cats
that are brought here have been spoil
ed. Their owners think 1t is sign OF
high breeding to cultivate an appetite
for a peculiar and unnatural diet.
They train animals to eat all kinds Of
food that they would never touch Of
their own volition. This emaciated fell
low has been taught to like fruit. He Ia
particularly fond of pears; but, in case
he can't get them, peaches, apples and
bananas are fairly satisfactory SUBJ
stitute. Unfortunately, his present all
ment makes a fruit diet extremely
dangerous, and since he Is deprived of
his favorite food he is literally starv-
ing himself to DEATH"
The attendant passed on to a neigh
boring cage and poked his finger spor-
lively into the side of large gray cat
that "meowed" plaintively in response
to his CHEEKY "Hello, there, Caesar"
The cat had such healthy, whole
some appearance that the visitor in
quired what meat he was fed upon.
"Humph!' said the attendant. you've
missed it there. He doesn't feed upon
meat. He's a vegetarian. He likes
onions better than anything else, un-
less it's melons. A good many cats
like melons, and most of them are also
partial to raw asparagus. The fact Is
you might run through list of all the
dishes that find place on any up to
date menu and you will find that some
Of our patients have acquired taste
for them. This epicurean appetite may
denote arlstocratlc tendencies on the
part of my boarders, but l don't ap-
prove Of 1t. Most of these acquired
tastes are a perversion of the natural
animal appetite, and 1t is likely to
prove harmful in the end. The trick
is pretty expensive for us fellows that
run cat and dog boarding houses, and
I'd like to put stop to it.'-New York
Times.

McClure's New Writer About Children,

In Myra Kelly, McClure's has found
another writer about children to main
tain the high prestige the magazine has
always held in this field. The youngsters
Miss Kelly writes about perform in a
certain primary room of a New York
East Side school, and, naturally, most of
them are Jewish. 1t is a fearful and
wonderful jargon that they speak, and
the author r%eproduces it with a facility
and relish that vouch for its authenticity.
"A Little Matter of Real Estate" is the
title of Miss Kelly's story in the June
number, recounting the bitter feud be-
tween Eva and Sarah G~onorowsky, cous-
ms, over a quarrel Of their fathers about
a loan. 1t is the best story of its kind
McClure's has published in many

School Chart Men.

A valley City dispatch says: Three
men have been arrested who are said to
be wanted in several counties in this
state and some in Minnesota. 1t is said
they have been making a school chart
canvas. Two of the trio, T. A. Wilson
and E. A. Clark, have gone through the
county canvassing and displaying the
charts and were followed a few days
later by S. L. Davis, who is charged with
inducing members of the school board to
sign an alleged Endorsement, which it is
asserted turned out to be a cleverly
worded note. Davis was held and the
others discharged.
State Superintendent Stockwell has
advised all county superintendent of
the above scheme to se%llschool directors
worthless charts at about $50 each, and
Miss Spears of this county has addressed
circular letters to the directors of each
district regarding the matter. School
boards should make 1t a practice to let
travelling agents severely alone. Heed

fruit orchard, containing 1000 each of

addition to various other fruit and nut

change of climate for Mrs. McGillivray,
who will likely remain with her niece in
southern California all summer. Mr..
McGillivray expects to return here early
in July.
The state has taken the Dickinson
school bonds and in doing this the land
department permitted the board to re-
deem $4,000 Of 7 per cent bonds which
did net mature for some years yet. This
takes up all the accumulation in the
sinking fund and saves the district nearly
$1,000 in interest, which would look to
have been a most economical move or
the part of the board. The new bonds
run for 20 years and bear 4 per cen in
terest, and while this issue increases the
total bonded Indebtedness of the district
from $4,000 to $4,000, the additional
interest that will have to be paid will be
only Sr8o per year.

IN NEW QUARTERS TODAY.
Department of Commerce and Labor
 Moves Into Willard Building.

Washington, June 7.-Tomorrow the de- partment of commerce and labor will be quartered in its new home the Willard building, on Fourteenth street, only few doors from Pennsylvania avenue, though it will be a few days later before Secre- tary Cortelyou moves from his present quarters in the Builders exchange. The new building Is a handsome eight-story structure with a free-stone front With the eight floors, there are 104 rooms. All are well lighted and designed with special reference to the work of the several bu- reaus.
 As the department of commerce and labor after July 1 will be one of the largest department in the government, all of the bureaus cannot be accommodated in the new building. Several of them. notably the United States fish commits sion, the present department of labor. the lighthouse board, the census office, and the bureau of statistics. will re- main in their present quarters until a permanent building for the departments shall have been erected
 Some of the other bureaus now in exis- tence in other departments will be located in the Willard building after July 1.
