City Dog Catcher Can't Do 1t
Fast Enough.
An Assistant VIII Be Named to
Help Ward.
FAMILY PITS GO, TOO
City Pound Is Filled With the
Doomed Animals.
Hot Weather Puts Crimp on the
Wagging Tail.
'AMILY PETS GO, TOO
Old Towser is doomed.

Old Towser is doomed.
The pet house dog that has been the
delight OF our grandfathers when they
were children and still lives to tell
and wag-the tale is living his last.
They have been given their last pet.
their final bone and the limited car
essec.
The dry and hot weather in Topeka
this year has made practically every
dog in town ''peevish." Even the lit
tie pup that wagged it's tail and bark
ed in delight few weeks ago, has
grown cross and cranky and sulks in
the corner only to growl at fresh meat
and snap at fond pats.
AS a result the city dog catcher is
beseiged with requests to kill house
dogs, lap dogs and every other kind
of dog. The demand has become SO
great that City Commissioner Stotts
may find it necessary to hire another
dog catcher and dog killer for the
summer months.
Never before in the history of the
city have the dog licenses dropped to
such a low figure-and the dog pound
filled with such a variety of animals.
A few weeks ago the city officials
appealed through the State journal
to the people-asked them to come to
the city dog pound and redeem their
dogs. The officials also asked that
anyone who wished to buy a good dog,
come to the pound and obtain him
1Or the cost OF the license.
The pound has been full of them
bulls, terriers, grey hounds, bird dogs
and the little pug faced, mean looking
scamps that turn up their nose at you
from the passing motor car. Then
there were short ones. long ones, tall
ones and round ones.
And everyone of them had beNn de-
serted.
In former years fond dog owners
watched with fear the onslaught of
the dog catcher. They Rugged tight
their family favorites and threatened
everyone from the mayor to the dog
catcher with death if a hair of their
pet. was touched.
But it is different this year. Now
they draw straws in the family to see
who will turn over their Towser TO
the dog catcher for death and ami
hilation. The unfortunate one who
must carry old Towser to the pound
goes with an extra supply of hand
kerchiefs to use as a defense against
briny tears.
The weather is the reason.
Reports of dog bites come from all
sections of the city. The dog with
the wagging tail is now the canine
with the swapping teeth and the dam
gerOus snarl. The state board of
health has ordered that all dogs be
muzzled and tied beginning July 1,
and the city officials will enforce the
law.
AS the dog catcher makes his rounds
each DAY tears follow the dear de-
parted in one house while in the
neighbours domicile rejoicing is heard.

Mrs. Sarah Wilson OF 712 Locust

paid fine of $40 yesterday on q
charge OF disorderly conduct, obtained
2 warrant from the police judge to-
day for the people she claims caused

Her guilt consisted in lying in wait

drenching instead a Mrs. Harper Of

Quoting themselves in a riotous man

HOW TO GAIN HEALTHY FLESH
Geo. w. StansfieId Advises Use
of Samose.

While thinness may not be a disease
yet it is in reality a condition that
needs attention. Under the nourishing
power of Samose healthy, natural
flesh will soon be attained.
This remarkable f1esh-forming food
6 rengthens the system. generally and
builds up the f1eshy tissues so that
good, natural plumpness results
An ounce of flesh is better than a
pound of theory. Geo. w. Stansfisld
believes that the best possible demon
stration of the fiesh-forming powers
OF Samose~ Is to have it tried by his
customers, and to induce them to use
it. he offers to pay for the Samose in
case It does not give satisfaction. No
stronger proof than this can be given
Of his faith in it He has seen hun
dreds who We're weak. thin and
scrawny, become plump, robust and
strong, solely through the use of Sa-
NOSE.

STANDS UP FOR TOPEKA BRICK
D. II. Forbes says They Have stood
the Test.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
I noticed in last evenings Journal
a controversy in regard to the quality
of Topeka brick ] live at corner of
Seventh and Polk streets, and paving
in that neighborhod was put down
mostly with Topeka brick Ga little
Fort Scott).
I have often said that thought We
had some of the best paving in the
city 1 see no difference in the wear
ing Of the Topeka and Fort Scott
brick there, though 1 understand the
Fort Scott brick has a slightly better
test than the Topeka brick am sure
our Topeka brick is wearing satisfac-
torily and, personally, I would take
home brick as satisfactory as it is to
any outside made brick. If we don't
patronize our home institutions il
seems to me we are not acting wisely.
