,REFiNED CRUELTY. OF A eoy
Father TInds Out Why the Family Cat
Does Not Eat.


I Does Not Eat.
For genuine cruelty the average S.
year-old, boy has got q Hottentot can.
nibal licked. to q frazzle." said the
proud father Of a young hopeful the
other day. The latest, trick of my kid
!, ,is winner, but was sort OF rough on
the. victim. which was our pet cat
About three weeks ago we noticed
J. that pussy suddenly stopped eating
and drinking. All the choice bits of
meat and dishes Of milk were left un-
touched.
For several days we explained It
by supposing that the cat was getting
more than the ordinary number OF
mice and eating them to the exclusion
OF our offerings, but we soon noticed
that she was becoming thin and gaunt
and did not seem inclined to move
about and purr as she used to. One
day, after two weeks of this, / picked
up the now skeleton cat and began to
stroke it's neck.
what do you think I found? A thick
rubber band stretched tightly around
the throat, concealed by the long fu".
It just permitted the cat to- breathe.
but she could not eat. I removed 1t
and now she is getting along all right.
When asked the boy about It he said
he just wanted to see II kitty would
strangle. II 1t had been anything else
but cat It would have been dead in
no time"

MANY LITTLE MOTHERS.
Fresh 44ir Fund Girls Much Missed
at Their Homes.

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund sends many little
mothers 70 the country. but il Is seldom that one
Is found who is more attentive to her duties than
one who left the Grand Central Station yesterday
morning for visit to Rutland. VI The mother Of
this little girl has been sick for long time, ac-
cording TO the missionary who sent the girl away.
In the mean time the girl OF ten has been doing all
the housework. cooking FOR her father and looking
after her younger brother.
What do you suppose that eirl said when I
asked her about going aWay?" asked the mission
ary in telling her story when we were coming
90 the station sat down beside her in the car and
said:
Well suppose you are glad TO get away to
the countryT
oh, yes" said the girl. although 7 don't know
how things at home will get along while I'm away.
There's Willie-he amt big enough to look after
himself and papa's busy, and what they'll do for
Things 70 eat don't know. hate to leave them ="
It happened that Willie had accompanied the girl
TO the station. As she gave him parting kiss she
heard to say: Now, Willie. you write to
and don't you forget to take your bath while I'm
away"
Such responsibility as this is not looked for in
the children Of the well TO do. but many OF the
children whom the Tribune Fresh Air Fund sends
away begin their training in duty early. Hardly a
party has gone out this year IN which there was
not at least one little mother" VINO. though a
mere girl had been taking care Of a family. or at
least looking after the younger children in it.
Sometimes it's a boy but more often girl on

DR4GO DOCTRINE AGAIN.
Opposition ShooCn at Rio-Pan-
american Line Discussed.

Rio Janeiro. Aug. 1.-THE subcommittee of
the International American Conference on the
Drago Doctrine to-day agreed on a resolution
even more general than the the pro-
gramIne, recommending that each American ma
ton at its discretion request the Hague tribunal
to study the questions Of the forcible collection
OF public debts and pecuniary claims OF all
nature The Argentine representative opposed
the resolution, and later it was announced that
the Uruguayan representative had withdrawn
from the Drago Doctrine agreement, which re-
suited in attempt to throw the whole resolu-
ton out Of the programme by a two-thirds vote
It was still considered probable however, that
the resolution would be adopted.
The Pan-American Railway committee Of the
conference discussed two projects, one that the
construction Of the entire road be turned over 10
q private company In the United States, and
the other that each government undertake TO
construct that portion of the road which is
within its territory.
An amendment to the report Of the committee
on the reorganization Of the Bureau OF Ameri-
can Republics provides that maps issued by
the bureau shall be considered official unless ap-
proved by all the countries interested.
