PUTS UP A MAN OF STRAW

his Is Hat misrepresentation OF my argument.
did suggest that it is cruel to deprive habtual
of drugs of his dope" and that is true, but
| did not advance this as an argument against
stopping the OF narcotic poisons. What did
say that you can not effect this purpose by
legislation
What happened in Chinatown the other day?
Opium had been selling for fancy figures. l heard
OF sales at $4O0 pound but of course, the market
very irregular and 500 or so pound were
common prices. Then one day last week, in spite
OF the prohibtory law, big supply of the drug
turned up and prices dropped to nominal figures
Neither did | say the Pharmacist pretends,
that I'VE should allow the unfit to eliminate them
selves through their pleasant vices" | did say
that this had been the scheme of creation and the
universe, far know it from the begin
ming. The Pharmacist is quarreling with God
AN IMPEDIMENT IN HIS UNDERSTANDING
| did not say that we should not CHECK and
eradicate vice and wicked habits said exactly
the reverse, but l insisted that it could not be
done by legislation. insisted that it was possible
only by teaching sef-control and good habits.
But what's the use? l gave the Pharmacist a
reason. | not supply him with under
standing.
MAD TOWN
Pasadena has an epidemic OF rabies. They call
it dumb rabies perhaps to distinguish it from
the sort prevalent in Los Angeles during the
recent municipal campaign. The dumb and partly
civilized mad dog only froths at the mouth and
does not howl Pasadena insists that he must be
muzzled. To be mad and muzzled and live in
Pasadena-it's dogs life.
THE FOUNTAIN OF FADS
Pasadena is the fountain of freak municipal
legislation. Any sort OF fad can be raised to the
dignity of Pasadena law The other day they
enacted an ordinance prohibiting billiard halls
and any other business that is nonuseful and
for public amusement alone" You can not play
a game of baseball in Pasadena if an entrance fee
is charged at the gate. But the strangest of all
Pasadena ordinances relates to the regulation of
the night blooming rooster. BY that law it is pre-
scribed that all roosters shall be kept twenty-five
yards farther from dwelling houses than the hens.
Small wonder that the dogs go mad in Pasa-
dena-they must have been bitten by a city father.
Why should any be permitted to keep
dog in a city? He is filthy beast multfarously
Objectionable, even dangerous. The dog is a
village habit objectionable in more advanced
communities.

CHURCH WILL TAKE UP
PSYCHO-TH THERAPEUTICS

CHICAGO. Jan. 13-Rev. Johnson
Myers has given out an explanation of
the objects Of the ycho-therapeutics
class which he is forming in his
church.
This is an educational enterprise for
the scientific investigation OF mind
cure" he says. I'VE propose to cover
the whole field OF mental science in its
philosophical. psychological, historical,
medical and religious aspects. The OBJ.
ject is to bring into the homes the re-
suits of the best science, the soundest
learning and the most recent investi-
CATION on this subject.
"The time is near when the power
to heal the sick as well as to cast out
devils may be the test by which the
usefulness of the church may be gaug
ed. Mental and spiritual laws are just
as immutable as those of the physical
realm. Everyone should understand
these laws and teach them, and place
in the hands of the people the knowl-
edge with which to heal and cleanse
themselves in the name Of Christ.
"This knowledge will be the invalua-
BILE aid TO parents in bringing up theil
children: it will help the well people &c
keep we'll and the sick people TO gel
well, and it will help the business mar
to succeed in his business

physicians win given instruction. Th'

BY THE WAYSIDE

While big gray cat sat on a fence and
watched a small army of rats, any one
of them as big as the cat herself. romped
about the yard in the rear of butcher
shop at Ninth, and King street this morn
ing. Along the fence rail stood several
spectators who tried to coax the cat TO
make an attack upon the rodents but
pussy was too wise TO do any such thing
for the rats looked altogether too husky
for one cat to engage with in mortal conf
bat.
The rats evidently had their home in
the walls Of the butcher shop They were
fat and full,of fun TO judge by their ac-
tons for they ran round and played with
each other and seemed to be enjoying
themselves The cat appeared very in
terested IN what was going on but didn't
make move to interrupt the game.
Whats the reason that everyone
who gets in the revolving door at the
postofiice building feels that it is his
bounden duty TO give 1t a whirl and
spin around everyone who is inside and
block out those who want to get in %
asked the rotund man in plaintive tone
I've noticed day after day that when
people come in during the mornings
that they load up the cells-guess that
word will do-and spin the door around
The process let's out the people. but
those who are outside can't get near
for fear OF getting their heads struck

THIS PIG A RAeeIr HUNTER.

PERU. Ind, jan l3.-Benjamin Null
iican. Of Macy, had a surprise for
party of rabbit hunters in the way Of
q rabbit hunting pig. He carried a
sack with him and told his companions
that the bag contained a ferret
When the party had tracked rab-
bit to its hole in the ground and Mr..
Mullican drew the pig from the sack
his companions were much surprised
and hooted the ides that the pig would
go into the hole and chase out the
rabbit. But his pigship did that very
thing. and the hunters were so sur
prised that not one Of them managed
to kill the rabbit and all five of them
shot at it.
The pig is two years old and is
known as a dwarf hog. Mr.. Mullican
bought the hog a few months ago while
visiting in Iowa. Since returning home
Mr.. Mullican has taught the little
animal many tricks, rabbit hunting
being one of them.
The pig is about the size Of a two
months-old kitten.

DO IT NOW
Wilmington People Should Not Wait
Until Il Is Too Late.

ONlii " IS 100 EdtSs
The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease Is due in most cases to the
fact that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms give
place to- chronic disorders and the
sufferer goes gradually into the grasp
Of diabetes, dropsy, Bright's Disease,
gravel or some other serious form OF
kidney complaint
IL you suffer from backache. head
aches. dizzy spells; il the kidney secre-
tions are Irregular of passage and un-
natural in appearance, do not delay.
Help the kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders-thew cure where
others fail. over one hundred thou
sand people have recommended them.
Here's a case at home:
Mrs. James Z. Adams, 403 Madison
St, Wilmington. Del. says: my hus-
band suffered from kidney trouble for
twenty years. He had acute pains In
the small Of his back. especially severe
after a hard days work. In the morn
ing he was languid and tired and in
no fit condition TO begin the days
duties. Seeing Doan's Kidney pills
highly recommended. he procured a
box at n. b. Danforth's drug store. The
pain was relieved, his back made
strong. he was able to rest well at
night and arose in the morning feeling
refreshed. In 1897 Mr.. Adams gave a
statement recommending this remedy
and he is now pleased to confirm every
thing he then said"

orally on Saturday evening. and offer
in payment one Of these orders and re.
