Children to Keep Streets Clean.
n the Milwaukee Sentinel.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
 Not many cities of the same size go ahead of Sheboygan for public spirit" said James J. Hogan of Chicago. "I have just returned from my first visit to the city and it was a revelation.
 ''The school children all wear green buttons, and after I had seen several hundred of these about the streets asked a merchant what they signified. He said that the children had all been banded into a society to keep the city neat and clean. Each child who joins Is given a button, and from then on it is his duty to keep the streets and yards cleared of the little bits of paper and other waste material which present such an unsightly appearance.
 ''The youngsters have entered. thorough ly into the spirit of the thing. They have collected more than $100 by popular sub- scription, and with this money they are planning to purchase waste paper boxes to be put on the different street corners"

GREAT MANSION
Turned Into Dog Hospital to Save a
 Poodle,

From the New York American
 With heart heavy with grief Mrs. Her mann Oelrichs again Is preparing to turn her magnificent mansion, at Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street. into a dogs hos pital.
 Louisette, one of her s5o,00O French poodles, Is suffering from tumor, and Dr. O. B. Clayton, the celebrated veterinarian, after consultation with the leading spe- cialists in diseases of the dog, has ordered an operation as the only means of saving the little animals valuable life. Preparations for putting poor littl Louis cite under the knife, therefore, have been begun in Mrs. Oelrichs's palatial home and every device that money can purchase to alleviate the sufferings of the toy poodle and aid in her recovery has been procured.
 The middle room on the third floor of the Fifth avenue mansion is to be the | scene of the dreadful work. This room was used about month ago for similar deed when Mopsie. brother of Louisette, was operated on for similar trouble. It was chosen because of its central position | in the house, to which absolutely none of the noise caused by the traffic in Fifth avenue can penetrate. It Is equipped with the very finest surgical appliances and for days before the operation is perform
  | How Louisette contracted tumor Is a mystery. The cause of Mopsie's trouble was known. It was the result of a bite by one of Harry Payne Whitneys dogs. several years ago, when Mopsie was stay ing down on Long Island for the summer, he made the acquaintance of the Whit ney dog, who was a guest of the same | hotel
 | Mopsie and Louisette spent last summer | in Newport with Mrs. Oelrichs. In fact, they have been all over the world with her. The dogs arise usually at a. m., l and are combed and dressed. They have cream on arising and breakfast at 10. | Mrs Oelrichs and every one In the household are greatly worried over the ] condition of Louisette.
 "Oh, doctor. don't let my .Louisette die" Mrs. Oelrichs implores every time the vet l erinarian visits the house. He, in view of | the value of the animals, is taxing all his power to preserve Louisette's life

Christian Science results now, as in Jesus time from the operation of divine prin- ciple, before which sin and disease lose their reality in human consciousness, and so disappear as naturally and as neces- sarly as darkness gives place to light
 In regard to certain criticisms of Chris tion Science, Alfred Barlow in the Bos- ton Times once wrote:
 Critics mistake the end for the begin ming and claim for the present ability of Christian Scientists what the scientists do not claim for themselves. These critics do not consider that advanced spiritual ity is requisite to divine healing and that theory must always precede practice. The logic of mathematics leads to infinite solutions and calculations but the be- ginner can solve only the most simple problems. The insistence that the neophyte In mathematics, simply because he believes in the whole system, is in- consistent with this belief because he can- not demonstrate the most advanced propo- sitions, is quite as sensible as the claim that a Christian Scientists is inconsist- ent with his belief because he cannot raise the dead and restore a limb which has been amputated It is likewise as un- reasonable to suppose that a pupil In mathematics is a menace to the schools because he may undertake the solution of problems which are years in his ad- vance of his present understanding. Chris tian Science is no more likely to rob it's devotees of their common sense than is mathematics. The Christian Scientist should be allowed to speak for himself in a matter of this kind. He makes no special claims beyond that which he has already proved by demonstration can be performed He insists upon infinite pos abilities only to those who fully realize the omnipotence of God and that any want of ability to demonstrate the divine power is due to exactly the same reasons which explain the failure of others. Those who understand but little of Christian Science are imperfect in their ability to heal, for the same reason that those who understand none of it are not able to heal at all.

FUND FOR LITTLE ONES
 AT THE MERCY HOME

The fund for the children in the Greene department of the Mercy Home has re- ceived several additional subscriptions only H is asked and so small an amount does not run the fund up as rapidly as in the large contributions that swell the amount into the hundreds. But II IS these small amounts that will enable every one to give something to the main tenance of the poor little ones whose lives have had nothing to brighten them until they found shelter at the Mercy Home
 And now that they are sheltered there surely every one who reads this appeal will send a contribution for them in or der that the Creche may not be so con tinually hampered in it's work for want of funds.
 Contributions may be sent to the so- ciety department of The Age-Herald or to Miss Walkers residence, 22S2 Syca- more street.
