TEN MINUTES I'm
LAND OF STORIES
CATS!
BY A. N. Perkerson.

Mr.. Stubbins leaned out Of the
window, one hand resting against
the fire escape, and stared down in
wondering contemplation at the
yard beneath.
"Shes feedin' en- now. Givin'
EN- minced beef as I'm alive.
Minced beef for 81 cats, and there
amt crusts even fer two humans!'
He again thrust his head and
shoulders out of the window and
glared savagely at the feast below.
Hawkins, with his chair propped
against the wall. stoically read a
newspaper he had picked up the
night before on the stairs. When
there had been no means in sight
for breakfast that morning. he had
merely frightened his belt and
maintained a philosophic calm.
In order to get at an inside page,
he folded over the paper and was
sliding a forefinger and thumb
down the margin to smooth 1t out.
when he leaned forward suddenly
and, tracing the lines with one fin
ger, read an advertisement and re-
read it:
"RABBITS AND OTHER GAME
WANTED. HIGHEST PRICES
PAID"
Say" Mr.. Stubbins exploded. "If
she amt givin' 'em catnip fer des-
sert, Come and see fer yourself"
With the paper in his hand, Haw-
kins followed the direction of Mr..
Stubbins index finger.
Below them. seeming to cast a
continual look of disapproval at the
rambling tenement at the top of
which they were quartered. was a
prim, precise little house with a
prim, precise little yard. An entirely
prim and precise little lady was
distributing catnip.
"Seem to like It,"
like it," Mr.. Stubbins' tone
sharply called attention to the in
adequacy of the comment. Nothing
they like better. Not even rats"
Hawkins eye followed the fire
escape as 1t wound downward. His
absorbed smile gave place to an
expression Of speculation.
"Umph!" he remarked. "They
could climb up that fire escape
right into this room if they wanted
to, couldn't they?"
"In here?" Mr.. Stubbins' eye
also calculated the fire escape. III

give 'em catnip now. wouldn't l

He looked round as Hawkins. hat
In hand, moved toward the door.
"Where you goin'?"
"Be back after Bit" was the
laconic reply.
The door opened and close again.

quietly and took from under his

Southern League Saves
 Money By NeW Schedule

Little Rock. February 2S.-(Special)- J. The Southern league will save about 5000 miles of travel and about s2500 in railroad fares by the substitution of Chat tanooga for Little Rock in the Southern league circuit. according to figures com piled by President W. M. Kavanaugh since his return from the Atlanta meet ing.
 Of the games thus far arranged, the total milea ge of all the clubs for 1910 is 6o,650 for 1910 as against 7S.575 for 1909. However, there are still two vacant Sun days in Memphis and three at New Or leans. All of these except one at New Orleans can be filled, and undoubtedly will be. However, the playing of games on these dates will necessitate further jumps which will increase the mileage by 40O0 miles at least. Last year games were played on every Sunday at both New Orleans and Memphis
 The saving effected will probably not be as large as most of the magnates had anticipated The Memphis club actually suffered by the change as it's mileage will be consiledably greater this year than

NO CURE, NO PAY"
 PLAN IS NOT LIKED

New York. February 2S.-(special.)- "A tempest in teapot" was the way Dr Kingman B. Page of the New York Medical society characterized the alarm over the decision of the superior court at Macon, Ga., hereby surgeon who O performs an operation must benefit the patient in order to collect his fee.
 The Georgia decision grew out of a case whereby a child died following an operation, the parents refused to re- munerate the surgeon and he sued to recover his fee, the superior court at Macon ruled that the doctor had no legal ground for the collection.
 "The New York Medical society held meeting Saturday when the case was discussed but the thing Is so absurd that no action was taken--not even a resolution condemnins the court deci- sion." said Dr. Page.
 Ut Is beyond common sense to see how such ruling could be estab- lished A doctor or a surgeon gives a patient tile benefit of all his skill Knowledge and experience and if he fails it is not his fault" continued Dr. Page. If that ruling should ever come to apply to New York a doctor would not take difficult case unless he was paid in advance But the thing Is so foolish 1t is not worth talking about. That mode of medical procedure might do in Georgia but 1t will never be established in New York;"

A Successful Experiment
 With School Children

The sympathy and charity of the world goes out to the suffering, the physically deformed, the mentally af- f1icted, but 1t Is only of late years that this has been wisely. extended in the most proper direction, SO as to furnish medical examination and training to the growing school child. Perhaps ono of the most notable examples of this kind is seen in the action of the prin- cipal of one of the large public schools in Boston during the past year.
 Noting that certain children in dif- ferent classes were frequently absent on account of illness, were poorly de- veloped, underweight, and backward in their studies, an outdoor school room was fitted up in a somewhat sheltered corner of the school yard, In the fresh air and sunlight, and during pleasant weather the regular work of the class room was carried on under a special assistant.
 In addition to the change to the open air, the children were supplied each day at recess, both morning and afternoon, with a glass of Horlick's matted milk, hot. and as the result oi tine fresh air and the hot food-drink the experiment proved marvellous success--a phenomenal improvement 1T the condition of the children at onc< began The children were brighter the eyes and complexion were clearer and the average gain in weight in { month was over three pounds for thu whole class. several showing a gain O ten and eleven pounds.
 In addition, the regular teachers noted with much surprise the suddei gain in mental alertness. interest ana voluntary effort of these formerl, backward children.

 In a statement sent out from Atlanta during the league meeting it was said that the league would save nearly D,- 900 miles of travel by the change. How ever, this failed to take into considera- ton the jumps that would have to be made to play the transferred Sunday games.

census supervisor for this district, brings the information that the ap- plicants for positions as enumerators who were examined throughout the country on February 5, did not make very fiattering grades Of course some passed and will be appointed but in this district just as seems to be the case in other districts in the south not enough passed to fill all positions and the supervisors are having to take personal interest in the work, getting good people and giving them special examinations. The small percentage of applicants who stood the census test and who passed is said to be unusually low. The test is said to have been unusually hard.

In fact, all indications point to the closest contest the season. Both teams have been winning, and though the club suffered a reverse at the hands of Co., lumbus, the boys played their best game last Friday and club stock took a big rise when Bill Streit made those ten goals.
 The Athletic club defeated the associa- ton last year. and three years ago they both won on the home floor. This year the teams are evenly matched and 1t will be hard to pick the winner. The contest will be played tomorrow on the Young Mems Christian association floor, and on March 8 at the Athletic club.
