be as muddled as the man who made
the famous ruling that pigs are
pigs. Last spring Sysenby could
not be bought for 100000. A few
weeks later his skeleton was being
made ready for the museum of ma
tural history and in the meantime
he did not place one penny to his
Iowners credit. Last year an owner
paid $4,000 for western colt
which has never since earned cent
so the treasury should not make
themselves ridiculous in trying to
solve the real value of horse aside
from the market price of its hide
and bones.
One New York house owner at
least has a soft SPOT in his heart for
the children, for he has opened an
apartment house in Harlem, which
he appropriately names the Roose-
welt Arms. and has announced his
intention of not letting II to childless
couples The protests of women that
apartment house owners object to
children. will in a measure be re-
lieved for Herr Kanhule. the owner,
says he doesn't care whether twins,
triplets, or Quadruplets are brought
into the building. Kanhule has four
children. and when he went to look
for a house last year he found that
although screeching parrots, mon
keys and vicious dogs were admitted,
children were not allowed in the bet
ter class apartment houses. This
set him thinking and the result was
that he concluded to build a house
that would accommodate himself,
and not only that, but would relieve
the necessities of Others similarity
situated.
The discovery that an italian
child whose parents believed him
to have been kidnapped was kept
three days in the rooms of the
Brooklyn Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty while detectives searched
high and low throughout the city
discloses a curious failure on the
police system The society's man
ayers seem to have been blameless in !
the matter. The child was found on
Brooklyn bridge and taken. to a po-
lice station full of men who had been
specially instructed to look for him.
After the usual formalities he was
sent to the society's refuge. The
superintendent of this institution |
would not expect the police to bring
to him a child for whom they were
in search. His failure to learn who
the child was is perfectly natural. |
The police are in different case. !
Their plight would not be so humil-
iatlng If a great hubbub had not
been made over the boys disappear
ance and large rewards offered for
his recovery. A considerable num-
Der OF police had been detailed spe- ,
cially 10 the hunt and every patrol
man in the department had heard .
the general order instructing the
force 20 watch for him. That he was
actually taken TO a police station and
not recognized and that no policeman
ever attempted to identify him as
the lost child is to say the least OF
IL, remarkable.
The ruthless scrambling on the
part of ambulance surgeons in the
case of injured persons requiring
treatment has grossly hurt the feel1i
Ings OF the sufferers and their
friends many time I'm the streets
1f New York. A distressing case oc-
,urred the other day. where as a
nan lay dying in the Chinese quar-
ers. in Pell street. with three bull
ct wounds In his back, surgeons
rom two hospitals struggled tol
axe possession OF him Several OF
ais friends took a hand in the af-l
air. and when the ambulance start-
d TO drive away some one seized thel
wounded man and dragged him
nearly out OF the vehicle. Police
men finally scattered the crowd. and
directed the removal of the wounded
nan to a hospital. He was in great
,ain all the while. and no effort was
made during the scrimmage TO re-
ieve him the slightest degree.
The spectacle OF a woman mani
