Accepting for the sake OF argu
ment that 1t was true Adam Little
page was the candidate of organ
lied labor for governor, the Demo-
Gratis treated him cruelty. First,
they refused to let him have the
nomination for governor. Next, they
entered organized labor's ranks with
a disfranchisement clause and then
nominated him for a lower office. II
was a tragedy almost equal to that
enacted in the Garden of Eden.

TERRIER ADOPTS
"ORPHAN' DUCKS
AND WATCHES CAT
Brother of Plainfield's City ATT
tOrney VOuches for Story OF
His SagaciOus Yorkshire.

PLAINFIELD, June 12.-This is no
nature fakel Warren Marsh, a brother
of City Attorney Craig Marsh, Of Union
street, has a Yorkshire terrier caring
for W. ducks, as tenderly as any
mother duck cares for ducklings. The
ducks are orphans in that they were
Matched in an incubator about two
weeks ago, when Mr.. Marsh gave them
a home.
He soon found that his terrier took
to them as naturally as the ducks to
water. The chief question now APP
pears to be whether, when they grow
up they win be more dog than duck.
Every day the terrier looks after her
charges and yesterday when the ducks,
following the duck instinct, started to
take their first swim in a little stream
near the Marsh home the terrier
seemed to be greatly worried.
The terrier is apprehensive about the
family cat. More than once the dog
has prevented the cat from ~devouring
her charges.
