dogs should visit the Animal Rescue
League of 6S Carver street, Boston. \
whole house is occupied by the League,
who keep three men and four women
busy all the time besides the work done
by the president and various committees.
Every day brings many visitors, over 20
coming i'm one day recently. The bell and
telephone constantly are bringing res
quests to go after some poor suffering
animal. Many of these animals are in
such a horrible condition that they are
cnloroformed ON the spot. Sixty cats
have been taken in one day. The cats
room is very pleasant and comfortable,
furnished with boxes, cushions ana saw
dust. ON the shed is a " run - enclosed
with wire netting. In the lower part of
the house and the yard are the dogs, in
Guiding all kinds from the st, Bernard
to the small black and tan or skye ter
rier. Those not injured or disabled are
advertised and if the owners do not APP

good homes Every one taking a dog or
eat signs an agreement to be kind to the
animal and to return 1t to the League If

nearly her entire time to the work of or
giving lantern slide lectures in different
towns and cities, and in editing the
League paper, our Four-footed
Friends" an interesting and instructive
humane paper which has a large circu-
lation in this and foreign countries. Dur
ing the four years of the Leagues eX-
istence it's membership has grown from
10 to nearly 2OOO. Many of the best peo-
pie in Boston are in the list. Last year
over 5000 animals We're received The
great increase in the work has made it
necessary to buy a place where more
animals can be accommodated Few peo-

There Is : small town up the State
that boasts female preacher, and the
Iady's duties are many. One day she
may visit The sick, another attend 3
funeral and the next baptize baby.
One afternoon she was preparing the
sermon for the following Sunday, when
she heard a timid knock at the par
sonage door. Answering the summons
she found bashful young German
standing on the step and twirling his
straw hat In his hands.
Good afternoon" the preacheress
remarked. What do you wish?"

EnuIand's Old Married Folk.

One Of the most curious tables in
the recently published census sum-
mary is that which gives the respec-
tive ages of all the married couples In
the kingdom. From this we ascertain
that there is at any rate one husband
OF ninety-five years who has a wife of
twenty-one, while three husbands
ranging In age from eighty-five to
ninety-five have secured wives at TWEEN
ty-five. Elderly wives and youthful
husbands are rarer, and the greatest
disparity in this direction is between
q wife Of sixty-fiye years and her hus-
band of twenty. The oldest couple In
the list are aged 100 and ninety-flve
years respectively, while the youngest
pair have only numbered sixteen and
fifteen summers Observation-Disclosures

In Mindanao, one of the largest Of
the Philippine Islands, the natives
have a queer way of capturing the
huge pythons that infest the swamps.
Some of the houses are surrounded
by stone walls to keep out these rep
tiles, but when found desirable these
same walls are also used as traps. A
hole is made near the bottom, and
after dark a small sucking pig is tied
to a stake on either side. The python
smells and hears the pigs. crawls care
fully up and devours the first pig.
But a sucking pig is only half a
meal to a python, so. smelling the
other half on the other side of the
wall. he crawls through the hole and
devours 1t.
Now a great difficulty confronts the
python. The first pig prevents him
from crawling through the small hole
one way and the second pig makes re-
treat equally impossible unless he dis
gorges it, and that is something q
self respecting python rarely does.
While he is trying to solve the prob
lem, the natives come out of the house
and solve 1t for him.

There is something wearisome and
disgusting In the iteration from north
ern sources that the negroes do not
get justice in the courts of the south!
Suppose we say here and now that
they do not-and take couple Of re-
cent incidents to back up our confes.
slonl
A few days ago negro in this city
fiimfiammed a national bank out OF
over 5000 by a paying teller's error In
handling a couple of checks. Because
Of the negro's previous good character,
although he confessed his theft and
returned the larger part of the money,
no prosecutor appeared against him
and he went free and unwhipped of
justice! We would like a northern In
stance to match this case of injustice
to the negro.
In Texas the Supreme Court has
just reversed verdict OF death passed
upon young negro who was clearly
convicted of criminal assault upon a
young white girl. 1t appeared that he
was under seventeen years of age and
the law forbids the hanging of a per-
son under that age consequently, al
though his guilt was plain as the sun
at noon and the penalty for his crime
is death. he goes free of that penalty.
With these cases at hand we do not
think our assertion can be denied
that negroes often do not get justice"

WHERE ALCOHOL GOES
About 100000 Gallons Go Into Patent
Medicines Every Year.

OF the T6, 900 900 gallons Of alcohol
used in the "arts' in this country. Ed
ward Atkinson, the eminent authority on
statistics, says more than half of this
quantity is used in the making Of quack
medicines-he means the patent kind {.
Very few persons who use these patent
medicines realize they are drinking in
toxicating liquors Not only are they
taking great quantities into their systems,
but they are also absorbing several kinds
of rugs which are sold under their own
names as poisons.
IL is because physicians are aware OF
these alarming facts that they oppose the
use OF these patent preparations. They
know that drunkenness and the drug
habit in many cases have their beginning
in the use Of patent medicines Physic.
ians have no hesitation in recommend
ing Father Johns Medicine because they
know that it does not contain alcohol or
poisonous drugs, and that it is not pa
tent medicine but the prescription Of a
regular physician an eminent specialist
who prescribed il fifty years ago for
the late Rev. Father John o hrien OF
Lowell Mass by whom il was recon-
mended and from whom it derived its
name.
Il is all pure nourishment and builds

Two Sets Of Antlers So Locked Are
Rare. But Not Unknown.

An Indian from the Flambeau Reser-
walton, in northern Wisconsin, re-
Gently came into the fishing resort OF
souaw Lake with curiosity in the
way Of deer horns he wished 10 sell.
Failing to make a sale he took the
horns back TO the reservation and has
not been seen by white men since
then
His treasure was three sets OF ant
lers inexplicably interlocked. and they
were worth considerable money to
horn collectors. Two sets Of antlers
so locked are rare, but not unknown.
It is believed that the Flambeau Chip
pewa has the only set OF three locked
antlers in the world.
This accident could have happened
only IN one way. Two bueks Of equal
strength we're fighting in the forest
and became locked. Then while they
were still struggling, third buck APP
peared in the usual angry temper Of
these animals in the mating season,
and charged them both, probably re-
peatedly, until his own horns became
fastened. The spectacle of three huge
bucks mated to each other until death
would have been great one IL there
had been anybody there to see.
The Indian said he found the horns
north Of Flambeau Lake, about mile
from the water. They were lying on
the side of a hill. and there were no
bones near them. The condition Of
the horns proved that the fight oc-
cured not more than two years ago.
and probably last fall.
The antlers we're all of full-grown
bucks. showing eight and ten points
each. The third pair had been driven
into the others just above where
they Joined, and the branches of them
were about equally locked with the
branches Of the others.-Chicago IN
