domestic animals share in this adj

generally bestowed upon them, and

understand and supply their wants.

ly that they have been our faithful
servants and friends, but there is a
gravity, and almost a dignity. in
their bearing which is very touch
ing. Many agencies are now at
work for teaching the policy as well
as the duty of kindness to animals;
and Of these, the sight of an old
servator loyalty bestowed in pad
dock or kennel is not the least in
structive. Nor need a charge of
this kind be without profit. The
care of our four-footed friends in
their declining years may furnish
many valuable hints for the treat

Tom Ben Hayden had the time
of his life last week. One night he
went into the yard to pick up shin
gles for kindling and in STOPPING he
dropped a bill length pocket book
containing ten dollars and some
valuable papers on the shingles
and in the dark picked it up with
the shingles and when his arm was
full, carried its contents to the
kitchen and dumped them on the
floor behind the stove.
The pocket book was not missed
until he came up town the next
morning and then the hunt began,
but it did no good even when a
three days hunt was made. And
then, tell it easy. the pocket book
and contents were found at the

A Sudden Shower.

Barefooted boys scud up the street,
Or skurry under shelterine sheds;
And schoolgirl faces pale and sweet,
Clean from the shawls about
their heads.
Doors bang; and mother voices call
From alien homes; and rusty gates
Are slammed; and high above it all
The thunder grim reverberates.
And then abrupt, the rain! the rain!
The earth lies gasping; and the
eyes
Behind the streaming window paneS
Smile at the trouble of the skies.
The highway smokes. sharp echoes
ring;
The cattle bawl and cow-bells
clank;
And into town comes gallOping
The farmers horse with steaming
flank.
The swallow dips beneath the caves,
And fiirts his plumes and folds
his wings;
And under the cataWba leaves
The caterpillar curls and clings
The bumblebee is pelted down
The wet stem of the hollyhock;
And sullenly in spattered brown
The cricket leaps the garden walk
Within, the baby claps his hands
And crows with rapture strange
and vague;
Without, beneath the rose busE
stands b. 1850 y q.
A dripping rooster on one leg.

Jersey Farmers Say Mosquitoes
 All Right as Rheumatism Cure

NEW YORK, July l4.--State Ento- mologst John B. Smith of New Jersey is out in an interview criticizing the legislature for neglecting the mosquito. breeding problem and failing to make any appropriation this year to go on with the work. He says, however, that the results of last year's work will show this year in a diminished crop of the pests where the drainage work has been kept up, and that only years of neglect will put the mosquito ridden sections of former years back into the conditions that existed before the fight to rid the state of the mosquito be- gan. Professor Smith expresses a fear, however, that the recent heavy rains will greatly aid the mosquitoes to prop agate.
 Mir. Smiths complaint of the indif- ference of the lawmakers to the anti. mosquito crusade recalls the legislative session of years ago, when few re- formers who thought plans for getting rid of the mosquito were worthy of sup port were fought bitterly by members of the legislature who declared it was throwing good money away to fight the mosquitoes.
 Why, down in Cape May county we want the mosquitoes, said one farmer member. "Their bites are good for
