'Anna-Anna, come here quick?
Anna appeared at the bathroom door,
her hands covered with flour.
''Look-look. How can we get it out
without hurting it?"
With something like a snort Anna
reached over and turned on the hot
water faucet But in a flash Helen had
dragged her back and turned it off.
She ScOlds the Maid.

q EVERAL times lately Anna had
complained of the mice in the
~ kitchen and had asked for a trap.
But Helen, who could never bear to
have anything killed. had refused to
get one.
The most narrowing memories of her
childhood were the cruel rat traps that
had been kept in the pantry and cellar
of her grandfather's house. She still
shuddered at the thought of the help
less, squirming things with a leg
crushed in the old fashioned steel
trap" lying there for hours, until they
were found and killed.
Again and again she had stolen down
in the celler, where the traps were set
with bits of cheese, and had sprung
them with a stick, so that she might
sleep that night free from the thought
that some little creature was lying
there manned and suffering until
morning.
And countless times, when she found
them caught in these cagelike traps
which imprison but do not injure-
she had opened the wire door to free
them before the servant could throw
them into a pail of water or let them
out before a leaping dog.
She Barred All Trans
anu 50 now, WneQ she naC nome OF
her Own, she was most emphatic in her
assertions that there were to be no
traps of any kind.
1t was one afternoon just before
Warren came home that she reached up
on the shelf in the bathroom to get a
fresh box of matches for his smoking
table. On this shelf she also kept the
bird-seed, and it was from behind a
packable Nof seed that a tiny mouse
sprang out, and in its terror fell over
the edge of the shelf into the bathtub
underneath.
For second it rushed wildly around
the polished porcelain tub and then be-
gan leaping up the slick sides only to
slide back again.
The glass-like finish of the tub gave
1T nothing to hold tot was helpless

frantically-but only to reach just be-
low the edge and. then fall back. Its

I was quite young, and had been
made project of police in a department

They called themselves the invincib les.'
In less than six months 1 broke up the
gang, and had all the leaders sent to
prison for long terms and when this
was done l went to Paris for a much
needed rest.
+ Next morning I received the follow
ing letter written in big. firm hand;
"'Our group still exists and we COM

TT HE American Veterinary Medical
4 Association of the United States
is now in session at San Francis
CO. This association has a membership
OF about 1000 of the 1000 veterinarians
in the United States who are eligible. 1t
is probable that no other profession in
the United States is less crowded than
that of the veterinarian. There are
only about twenty schools teaching vet
Urinary medicine in the country, and
only fifteen of these are sufficiently
thorough to entitle their graduate stu
dents to take the civil service examina-
ton under the United States bureau of
animal industry for the various gov
eminent positions to be filled by vete-
rinarians. There are more than 20O,-
100000 domestic animals in the United
States, not including cats, dogs or poul-
try. Yet there are only 1000 students
in the veterinary schools of the coun-
try. On the other hand, while there
are 90,O00,000 people in the United
states, there are nearly $4,000 students

4 Recent Profession.
Before 1891 the practice of veterinary
medicine was given over largely to
blacksmiths and rural horse doctors,
none Of whom had more than a very
slight empiric knowledge of the dis
eases Oh domestic animals. IN InaL year
the association adopted a requirement
that to be eligible TO membership an
applicant must have been graduated
from a school requiring at least three
terms of six months eacn for its course
of study. This tended 20 give the prac-
tice Of veterinary medicine a profess
sional standing, and while in recent
years some little difficulty has been ex-
perienced in combating the mushroom
schools that have sprung up in many
quarters, the decision of the bureau OF
animal industry to recognize only GER
tain schools has tended to overcome
this evil.
At the last meeting of the associa-
ton, held in Chicago. a strong resolu-
ton was adopted looking to the stamp
ing out Of hydrophObia. This resolu-
ton declares that all dogs running at
large should be required to be muzzled,
and that any dog appearing off the
premises of its owner without a prop
erly adjusted muzzle ought to be shot
Immediately. Another resolution eX-
pressed great faith in the work of the
medical fraternity with reference to
bOyfne tuberculosis. and declared it to
be the belief Of the veterinary profess
sion that tuberculosis in cattle can be
transmitted to human beings, and that
the course of the milk sanitarianS OF
the country, looking toward the elm
ination of tuberculosis from the milk
supply, is to be highly commended
