Turks Kind to Animals.
From the Chicago News.

In the matter of kindness to animals 1t
is said that the Turk cannot be sur
passed. Thus. at Stambul the wandering
dogs are treated with great gentleness.
and when puppies come into the world
they are lodged with their mother at the
side of the street in improvised kennels
made out of old boxes lined with straw
and bits Of carpet. And frequently, when
a young Turk happens to be flush of
money. he goes to the nearest bakers
shop and buys quantity Of bread. which
he distributes among the dogs OF the
quarter, who testify their gratitude by
jumping up at him with muddy paws
and shining muxxles.

on the common errors of today. One
of these errors Is that poverty makes for
genius. That persons bred in scenes of
poverty may rise to lofty heights cannot
be disputed. But to say that poverty
was of any assistance to them in their
rise is a mistake. There may be good
in everything. and the good of poverty
may consist in this. that it is SO cruel
that one may rouse himself to great
effort to escape from it.
But it must be apparent to every OBJ
server that poverty tends to arrest de-
velopment. If 1t were otherwise. why
should it seem thing OF horror to those
stepped in it and a warning nightmare
to those far removed from it?
That persons Of genius do not know
how to make money Is another common
error. Shakespeare. the king of poets
and dramatsts. made about $4,000 a
year. Voltaire. the intellectual monarch
OF his time. was immensely rich. No
man ever lived who so dominated the
literature of period as he did. yet he
had time for making s,,n money as a con

Harbor Notes.


The tides in the otomac have been
running to extremes both at high and low
water for several days past. On the high
tide the water is a foot above the ordi-
nary high water level. and on the low
tide bottoms of the shoal docks are ex-
posed. The fall OF the water between
the tides has been over four feet, while
ordinarily it is not over two and half
feet or even less.
The return of warm weather yesterday
caused a general exodus Of pleasure craft
to river points to spend Sunday. and yes

harbor were practically deserted and the

FISH ARE BITING.

If you are member of the fishins
fraternity you needn't be told that the
fish are biting. A patch of freshly
turned earth on vacant lot is fairly
satisfactory evidence. but not conclu-
sive, because it might merely indicate
that some boy or mere experimental
had yielded to the temptation which is
always present. A far better barome-
ter of fishing conditions is the general
air of mystery that has suddenly been
assumed by those who fish. They are
not going about publishing the fact
that Jones caught a string of q or
Smith came home last night with a
bucketful of sunfiSh and croppies. Oh.
no. They are not saying word for
fear the whole burned town will be out

you about it after the big rain next
week has made the water so muddy
that you couldn't catch a snag with
hook and line.

But he never had less command

He had tried hundred times to

chance.
The box was sent by messenger the
evening of July the third and in his
note Raw had written that he would
come for his ansyer on the FOLLOWING
afternoon.
He could scarcely wait until the
lime arrived and it was in a fever OF
anticipation that he opened the gate.

enough he took a chair beside her and

He gathered that IN some way the

in an effort to hurry the explosion,
