the youngsters.
The children started 10 run. but the dogs
rere upon them before they reached ST.
AIMS avenue. The largest of the dogs
leaned at Frank Barkey and it's paws
struck him in the chest and he was thrown
backward. As he tried to regain his feet
the dog sank its fangs in his left arm.
Screaming from the pain, he tried to throw
the dog off. His companions couldn't help
him, for they. too. were being attacked.
The man meanwhile stood on one of the
mark walks and laughed at the children's
plight.
The Barkey boy finally succeeded in
vrenching himself free. but not until his
left arm had been terribly mangled. His
companions. after struggling with the other
dogs. got away without being bitten.
The man was recalling his dogs when

upon him, meaning TO take him TO the
nearest police station. He resisted, q

park bleeding profusely. The man own
ing the dogs succeeded in overpowering
Hogan. and ran out Of the park and into
81. AIMS avenue as a crowd began to
gather.
Parents Of the Barkey boy carried him
home and sent for a physician. Later he
was removed to Lincoln Hospital, where
his lacerated arm was cauterized.
Il was said at the hospital that the boy
would speedily recover. provided no symp-
toms OF rabies developed. He will be taken
10 the Pasteur Institute to-day.
More than one thousand children were
playing in st. Marys Park when the dogs
were released. Shortly afterward the park
WAS deserted, the children having run to
their homes. Then IL filed again with an
angry mob, but the dogs scattered and the
man escaped
The matter was reported to the police OF
tho Alexander avenue station by Hogan.
Detectives were assigned to the case, who
said last night it was probable an arrest
would be made early this morning. They
said they know the identity of the man, and
that his arrest would follow as soon as he
was found.

Educating the Chiio.
Teach the child self-respect. Just as
you train plant in better ways. No
self-respecting man was ever graft
er. Make the boy understand what
money means. too. what its value is.
Do not deal 1t out to him lavishly,
but teach him to account for 1t. In
still better things into him, Just as a
plant-breeder puts better characters
tics into plant. Above all, bear in
mind repetition; repetition. the use
OF an influence over and over again.
Keeping everlastingly at 1t, this is
what fixes traits In piants--the con-
slant repetition Of an influence until
at last 1t Is irrevocably fixed and
will not change. You cannot afford
to get discouraged. You are dealing
with something far more precious
than any plant-the priceless soul OF
