COMBINES 1t does us good to rem
~ inisce a little bit, and this leads
us to remark that So years ago, the
British forces burned the capitol.
There were about 5000 in number
landed from the British vessels on
the Patuxent August 20, and on the
Gath they reached the capital. There
were only about 5000 men available
for defense of Washington in the
American army, and they only had II
pieces of artillery. So when the Brit
ish made their raid on Washington, al
though they were met with splendid
resistance, the American army was
compelled to retreat, and the red
coats made triumphant entry into
Washington and began to carry out
the threat of the commanding inva-
der, who said: Il will make a cow
pasture of these Yankee capitol
grounds" Just as soon as the Brit
ish got possession Of the city they

When Britishers Burned the Capitol

set lire to the capitol, the White
House and other public buildings. It
was at this time that Dolly Madison
cut the famous portrait of Washing
ton from its frame, where 1t stood in
the great east room of the White
houSe, and, rolling it up, had 1t cart
ed away with the few effects which
she was able to remove from the
White House. The British descrip-
tion. of what went on in the capital
at that time is as follows:
\"rhe blazing houses, ships and
stores, the report Of exploding maya
zines and the crash of falling roofs
was one of the finest sights to be con-
cefred. The sky was brilliantly IL
Illuminated by the confagration. The
scene was as striking and sublime as

to vie in brilliancy with the flames
which burst from the roofs of burning
houses. while the thunder drowned
the noise Of falling walls and was
only interrupted by the occasional
roar of cannon and Of large deposits

a COW pasture now, don't you know.

w the house cat has been declared
by the department of agriculture. Ex-
perts in the biological bureau of that
department are making exhaustive in
vestigations of the cat as spreader
Of disease. Already they have found
out enough to convince them that as
much danger turks in cat as IN q
rat, and rats are known to be fatal
distributors of plague.
Upon the completion of these in.
vestigations efforts will be made by
the Federal authorities to have cat
license laws passed. 1t is much more
desirable, they say, to have a license
for cats than license for dogs.
1--WE know that cats carry disease"
said H. W. Henshaw, chief of the bu-
reau, in discussing the fight against
tabby, "but we do not know to what
extent. We are practically certain
they carry diphtheria, scarlet fever
and ringworm, and we suspect they
carry tuberculosis. All this we want
to find out. OF course the fight to
bring about q cat license will be a
hard one. Such suggestion will be
scoffed at. But In time people will
come to realize what menace cats
are That is what we hope to do
bring the people to such realiza-
ton"
DR.. A. X. Fisher. of the bureau Of
biology, is at work on bulletin on
the house cat. He has been studying
the question for years and knows the
general habits of cats thoroughly.
There are lots of fallacious the
cries regarding the usefulness of
CATS" says Dr. Fisher. LAS matter

Uncle Sans Bug Sleuths After Cats

Of fact they do almost no good and a
great deal of harm. The difficulty in
following the question of the extent
to which they carry disease is meas.
ured by the difficulty of following the
cat. And yet there is no doubt in the
world that many child who, for no
apparent reason and from no discern
ible cause, develops case of diph-
liberia or scarlet fever owes its illness
and often its death to the cat it has
been fondling Moreover, cats are as
susceptible to hydrophobia as dogs.
''The highly pampered pet cat of
the luxurious household never fails
to get out and roam around with the
ordinary alley cat. In many instances
the alley cat, which prowls all night
long with the pet cat, has spent the
day sleeping in some hut or howell in
an alley where smallpox, diphtheria
or tuberculosis is hid.
Recently there has been much at
tention paid to rats and the harm
they do, both as destroyers and as
spreaders of disease. In this connec-
ton the cat has been pointed out as
a valuable aid in keeping down the
rat. That Is an error.
Il can state from my personal OBJ.
servatioh that only about S per cent.
of cats are really mousers. l have
seen cats that would tackle the big.
gest rat going and kill him, but such
instances are rare. AS rule cat
cares little for conflict with rat.
CAS- a matter of fact cats prefer
birds to mice. They will spend twice
as much time hunting birds. If one
keeps count of cats quarry during
a year he will find that the birds killed
will far outnumber the mice. Little
harm would be done if the whole cat
tribe were exterminated, but there
would be too much opposition to that
Still we think that when some of the
facts concerning cats are well known
to the public, many mothers will be
more careful about allowing their
children to play with CATS"

part Of the loss has been paid. Mr.

goods. it will help. While it has

GOVERNOR sTUBBs HERE
Spoke to the People Of Dodge City at Opera
House Last Saturday Afternoon

There was q good sized crowd at
the opera house last Saturday after
noon to hear Governor Stubbs, who
had been previously advertised to
speak here at that time. Governor
6tubbs arrived in Dodge City Friday
evening and spent part Of Saturday
forenoon visiting and comforting with
his friends here. Judge G.. L. Fin
ley accompanied the governor on
visit to some Of the business men in
tho morning. A trip was made to
the Soldiers Home in the forenoon,
also, and the governor spoke there at
the Amusement Hall.
The meeting in the afternoon at
the opera house was attended by
many from the country districts.
The Saturday crowd in town was a
large one and many took advantage
Of the opportunity to listen to the
governor.
Governor Stubbs speech was large
ly reply to some Of the recent Wag-
staff literature. and was practically
the same as q arecent letter Of his pub
lished in the daily papers Of the state.
The meeting was presided over BY
W. K. Miller, who in neat speech
introduced the governor.
The reception Of Governor Stubbs
in Ford county would indicate that
he has about the same strength here
in his former campaign. The recep-
ton Of both Governor Stubbs and
Mr.. Wagstaff in Dodge City would
indicate that the Republicans have no
intention Of getting into war among
them selves over the primary election,
but that they will vote their prefer
ence, and after the primary election
accept the winner as the Republican
candidate, and this is an attitude
which should be encourage by the
friends Of both candidates.
II can be said for Dodge City, that
when Mr.. Wagstaff was here he was
treated with the courtesy that he
should be as candidate for governor
and that when Governor Stubbs came
he was treated in q manner due the
governor Of the great state OF Kansas,
and a candidate for reelection.
