About the Catching OF Dogs

There is being raised great kick
about dogs being caught by the dog
catcher, and carted away to the
pound, without notification to the
owners of the dogs. While few peo-
pie have much love for a dog
catcher, yet as long as city councils
pass ordinances levying a tax on
dogs and that tax is not paid, dog
catcher man will probably be found
who will cart them off to a pound.
Catcher Inmane is treating the dogs
in a humane manner so far as he
can, and is doing the work as well
as Attorney Hansbrough intended
when he drafted the ordinance, but
the whole system of taking a little
kids dog away from him, for petit
larceny tax is wrong. If lnman
would reduce the crowd of followers
after his wagon by tying Spot Taylor
up and thereby doing away with
some of the spectacular features, II
might help some.

'One person might think that one
sort of book would be most popular

With all the springing up of new
towns all over the state there is an
ever growing demand for cases from

past few weeks the secretary has
been in receipt of mo less than 20 ap
plications. The travelling library was
instituted it is said largely through
the efforts of the Columbia club, 10
years ago. From an institution en-
bracing but a few dozen volumes it
has grown to be library ranking

country.
No Freight Charges on Books.
The Idaho travelling library is said
to be the only one in the country
where books are shipped at the cost
Of the state. In every other state
the town to which the books are
shipped is forced to pay the freight
charges.
"There is a tendence for the read
ers of the books not to take proper
care of them,' said Miss Roberts,
land this accounts for the fact that
we are forced to bring in the cases
and look over the books and have
them fixed up again.
ut is possible for the individual
towns to take advantage Of the en-
tire 10000 volumes by giving the
books proper care and seeing that
they are returned in good shape

spected citizens, reached the age of
seventy years. Mr.. Younie is an
example of the fact that man is

though he would live another sew
