In the issue of March 20, underS
Echoes, appeared a column of the
comparison of the Spells and Merit
systems. 1t is hoped that it was
read by all the clubs of the Idaho
districts that are stdying the subject
of civil service reform.
Who could read 1t and not think
that the census bureau should have
the advantage of civil service-who
go back to the old system that to the
victor belong the spoils. -

CALLS AMERICANS
WEALTHY BRUTES
EnqIlsh Social Writer Says 400 Make
LurId Humanlty's Worst Fea-
ture - Money Ruins
Disposition

LONDON. June 18-In discussing the
effect of prosperity on character Mrs.
Humphry, a prominent social writer,
declaims against the alleged brutaliz-
ing influence of wealth on American
women.
She tells of an American girl in Lon
don who was starving, but desperate
and deserving, and whose case she
brought to the notice of two wealthy
American women residents here. They
ignored the matter.
"There they are" says Mrs. Hum
phry, "wallowing in their wealth and
letting a poor little compatriot suffer
all the miseries of poverty, including
bitterest despair. But for other kind
err English friends she might have
committed suicide. She is now rescued
from her desperate position and, being
clever, will probably make her own
way.
"Wealth In many cases ruins the dis
position of those who have not pre-
viously known the correcting influence
of poverty. They become hard and
brutal.
1.-THE American 400 has thrown into
lurid light all the worst features of
humanity. They are brutal, purse
proud, avaricious.
Recently one gave a freak dinner
party and engaged number of artists,
including one we'll known artist of the
English stage. After dinner the
hostess put her head over the bannis
ter and shouted to the footman to
bring up the animals-the animals be-
ing the artists. Fortunately one heard
the message, and replied:

they are going home

FOUR PUPS SAVED
BY DOG AT A FIRE
Jack, a Fire Department Dalmatian,
Rescues from Flames Four
Young ST. Demands
Worth $500

NEW YORK, June 1S.-"Jack,"
coach dog owned by Deputy Fire Chief
MCGOWAN, was the real hero yester-
day at a fire in the home of Miss
Josephine Hunt, who lives at 181 West
Sixty-third street. Miss Hunt, who
lives alone is known as breeder of
prize dogs. She has a large kennel
in the back yard of her home and
rarely has less than thirty dogs housed
there.
She went out just after nightfall
last evening to do an errand near her
home and in her absence curtain in
the basement of the house blew against
a gas Jet and started fire. Miss Hunt
discovered the trouble herself on her
return a few minutes after 1t began
and turned in a still alarm at an en-
CINE house across the street.
Meantime smoke and flames from the
basement had spread back to the yard
where the dogs were, and great COM
motion began among the animals. MISS
Hunt when the din began took up a
position at the basement door and
swelled the volume of sound by crying:
Save my dogs, save my dogs!"
Several additional engines had come
up, and a detail of men got into Miss
Hunts back yard from the adjoining
yard and began passing the dogs over
the fence to safety.
1t was then that Chief McGowan's
Jack" came on the scene. He ran into
the yard from the street, seized val
liable St Bernard puppy by the scruff
of its neck and carried it to the street.
When he got out he was choking with
smoke, but at once went back to save
another life.
In all he rescued four puppies, each
valued at 5000. Three dogs died by
suffocation. The fire did only about $50
damage.

BOARDING HOUSE GEOMETRY

"A scientific friend of mine has drawn
up a boarding house geometry that
strikes me as being noteworthy" says
youth with a third-story front"
Some Of his definitions run as fol-
lows
Il. All boarding houses are the same
boarding houses.
20. Boarders in the same boarding
house, and on the same floor, are equal
to one another In the matter OF price,
but not in the matter of outlook.
70. A single room is that which has
no parts and no magnitude.
a. The landlady of boarding mousse
Is a parallelogram; an oblong, angular
figure which cannot be described, but
is equal to anything.
80. All the other rooms being taken,
single room is said to be double
room.
Among postulates and propositions
the following are worthy of considera-
ton:
Il. A pie may be produced any num-
Der of times.
20. The landlady may be reduced to
her lowest terms by q series Of propo-
sitions.
"s. A Decline may be made from one
boarding house to another.
"a. The clothing of a boarding house
he'd. although extended indefinitely in
both directions, will never meet.
"5. Any two meals at boarding
house are together less than one square
meal"-Edwin Tarrisse, in Harper's
