Why Interurban Bonds are IA Goo
Investment.

Some people seem to fear that the
Interurban Railway will not be pay
ing enterprise, and, consequently, the
bonds now being offered will not be
good investment.
A little investigation will satisfy
the most skeptical, In the first place,
the history Cf interurban railroads is
that they always pay even when they
have to compete with steam railways.
Our road will not, to any great extent
compete with steam railroads, even
when it is completed to Hannibal and
Columbia and Fulton. 1t runs through
country that is highly productive
occupied by a travelling, trading, en-
Iterprising people that are without
railroad facilities. There is timber
and coal in abundance at Santa u

TO SAVE PET DOGS
FROM THEIR FRIENDS
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

LONDON, January 30, 1909
ZONE humane people here are forming
a society which has for its object
- the protection of pet animals from
| the overwhelming kindness" of their
| mistresses. What these pampered. over
fed creatures suffer at the hands Of their
adoring owners Is known but too well to
professional vets" who are just now in
greater requisition than ever. These men
find themselves compelled to study forms
| of diseases never before heard of In the
| animal world. OF late, lap and other pet
dogs have been showing symptoms OF
nerve troubles hitherto unknown and re-
| garded as the outcome absolutely of the
| lives which they are made to lead.
Fashionable dogs not infrequenty sit al
table beside their mistresses and go

so many small dogs have been wearing Of
late. Much depends upon the tempera
ment Of the animal. Some dogs car
stand any amount of ornamentation or
their small persons. while others canno
bear the slightest strain.
| After a few months OF luxury many
| small dogs refuse to walk anywhere
| They must be carried or driven. Tht
want of exercise engenders all sorts Of
| infirmities and in an incredibly short time
| the owners of these precious pets FIND

Paris that not only the most learned au.

| also some of the most luxurious homes
| for dog invalids. These are fitted ur
sumptuously and possess all OF the latest
scientific and medical appliances for car
| ryine out operations and for nursing. A
| sum of $3.50 is considered by no means eX-
| orbitant for an operation or course OF
| treatment at one Of these hospitals and
| is readily paid by the invalid's owner.
| But the new society in course of for
nation regards all this In the light OF
| cruelty. What pet animals have to suf-

as an abnormal condition brought about
by foolish women.

taking photographs of all the points Of

Miss Corbett discovered a figure sitting
in Lord Combermere's chair. though ev-
cry other part Of the photograph was
exactly as she had expected 1t to be.
That no one had been in the library she
was absolutely certain, and the whole
thing puzzled her and her sister. Lady

looking over a group OF photos which

nothing seemed more mystifying. and the
