frs! OF ANIMAL HOSPITALS
Moro Than 1000 Years Ago One Wal
Established In India, Says
an Authority.

The New York women who have
opened a free animal ~dispensary In
this city are regarded as pioneers In a
good work. As a matter OF fact n
must go to the Orient and look back
more than 1000 years to find the first
animal hospital known.
The famous Buddhist emperor OF In
dia, Asoka, whose long reign from 264
to 227 B. G. abounded In many good
works, was probably the earliest to
establish q hospital for the treatment
Of animals, says Our Dumb Animals.
Asoka was a true humanitarian as
we'll as a most powerful sovereign and
although ruling a vast domain be-
came deeply impressed by the horrors
Of warfare.
He gave up his desire for conquest
and the rock inscriptions, which are
still extant. record such beneicent
edicts Of his as the counseling of
planting shade trees, the digging Of
wells, sending out Of missionaries, ap-
pointment of special officers to super
wise charities, the establishing Of hos
pitfalls for human kind and animals.
1t Is OF interest to know that the
last remaining Of Asoka's hospitals
WAS devoted to animals. 1t covered
twenty-five acres and was divided into
proper wards and courts for the &C.
commodation of the patients. When
an animal was sick or injured its
master had only to bring 1t to the hos
pital. where it was cared for without
regard to the caste OF It's owner, and
where, II necessary, 1t found an ssy-
1um tn old age.

PARROT CALLS
LOUD FOR HELP
Thanks Its Rescuer-- Fell Of
Steamer Mayiands.

Help! Helpi Man oy~erboard!'
came the lusty cry yesterday after
noon off the stern of the good ship
Maylands, bound, me lads, from
Tampico, Mexico, to the American
Smelling G. Refining Company's
plant. Perth Amboy. When the cry
resounded over the waters of the
placid sound the ship was steaming
slowly past the docks of the Roess-
Ter & Hasslacher Chemical Company.
Help! Help!" again rang the cry,
and this time the gallant captain or
dered action. The vessel was put
about" and a boat lowered. Even
as the ropes rushed through the
davits with burning speed the cry
grew fainter and fainter, and the
fearless crew turned pale with the
thought of death even as assistance
was rendered.
The coxswain bent to his efforts
and the life boat rushed through the
waters in direction of the weakening
sound. BUT, they were too late!
(Curtain.)
Jim" Pierson, we'll known about
the waterfront, was designed by fate
to be the hero of this accident story.
tPierson Hero In Near Drowning"
the headlines will probably say, and
the sighted sailors will have an OBJ
scure corner in the lower portion of
'the head" The sailors deserve
honorable mention, at that, for they
but why argue about it.. Let's tell
the story.

green parrot. When the vessel
turned about in search of the drown
ing man, however, "Polly" was miss
ing. Such an incident brought no
Idea to the minds of the sailors as
they pulled" for the sound or pull
ed against the sound, either way you
want it. 1t occurred to "Jdm," and
don't you forget it, when he came
up to the scene of the cry for help.
There, peaceful as you please. perch
ed a parrot on a floating pile of
debris. Thank you, thank you,"
calmly remarked the bird as he was
lifted aboard by the genial boatman.
Whats your name? Jim? Nice
Jim. Fine boat, Jim. Have a crack
er." This strain continued-no, not
a strain on "Jim"-until the boat
load of sailors pulled alongside.
There was a feast of Joy over the
return of the pet last night on board
the g. s. Maylands. Several ques-
tions remain unanswered, however,
despite the efforts of the reporter to
get at the truth of the case. How
did the bird get overboard?' when
the call went up were the sailors
wiser" and "Who taught the bird to

to know.)

According to the admissions of the little negroes at police headquarters they are the ones who are responsible for the recent epidemic of purse snatehing in Birmingham.

They also told of how they had entered several stores at Ensley. The Doster- Northngton Drug store, they stated, was also one of the points which they had robbed.
 They accompanied the detectives to sev- eral places where they had hidden~purses after they had been rifed of their con tents and in several instances recovered the purses and all that they contained except money and jewelry
 They told. with apparent relish of the joke, of one of them lifting a purse at Loyeman, Joseph x Loeb's store and how they ran three or four blocks to divide the money and found only 42 cents. They told it and laughed heartily. Their names are Harry King. Andrew Jones, James Harris. Emil Lewis Charles Richardson, Kirk Billups Russell Jones, Cody, Wil- Hams, H. B. Harris. Otis Hunter and Ralph Towns. They all live on the North side. it is said.

 When asked what probability. there was of an extra session being called the governor said:
 No extra session will be called dur Ing my administration unless there is an absolute necessity therefor.

 According to the governor. the matter which is giving him the most serious concern at this time Is the railroad rate legislation The situation with reference to this matter has assumed extraordinary proportions during the past few weeks. and is now believed to be the most important issue be- fore the state.
 The unanimity with which the reso- lution of Tom Long, the Walker county delegate to the state convention, passed that body on last Wednesday has ere lated comment in all sections of the slate, and many have declared that atate officials cannot ignore the demand made upon them by the 600 or more delegates assembled in state conven- tion
 This resolution condemned the action of the railroads in putting back tn; old rates. and called upon the govern or and other officers to exert everg possible effort to compel the railroads to obey the laws of the state, even to the extent of calling an extra ses- sion of the legislature, or a constitu- tional convention.
