right now the popular thing is a

animal PAWNSH0P

Dogs Accepted As Collat-
eral at Curious Money
LOaning Office

AS a matter of curiosity I visited the
animal pawnshop.
You didn't know there was such
place? Well, you need not be peeved
about 1t nor feel lonely on that account.
Hardly anybody is aware of the existence
of this unique establishment. 1t is said
to be the only pawnshop of its kind in
the world.
Trainers of animals, wild or otherwise,
go broke occasionally, just as ordinary,
everyday people do. And for such tenn
porarily embarrassed professionals there
is an animal pawnshop. Its offices and
lr"storage" is located on Thirty-second
street, New York, says a writer in the
Philadelphia Ledger.
There is no trio of gided spheres over
it's entrance to indicate to the uniniti-
ated that it is the life-saving station for
the down-and-out owner of trained ami
mails. Those in need of it's help find
way to it as a Mason discovers a lodge
of his fellows in strange town or a
sailor a rumshop in a foreign port. Nor
does it matter what species of animal,
either wild or domestic, is brought to
pawn provided it is a trained animal or
one for show purposes. 1t is, in fact,
storage for animal actors out of a job.
The brokers' of this odd pawnshop
are not liable ever to become entangled
in the meshes of the law because of u.s.
ury In the interest rates. They do not
charge interest. Their only fee is that
charged for the keep and feed or the
pawned animals. And since they are In
business principally to trade in and sup
ply trained animals of all kinds, partic-
ularly horses for the stage, the care of
animals is directly in their line, and
their. charges are as reasonable as legiti-
a week for the keep of elephant, or
$40 for a camel, or $40 or more for a
healthy man-eating bear with a raven

Public Graves for
Spending of Money
James ]. Hill Says Public is Simply
Mcney-Spending Mad, in Talk to
Credit Men

The watering of stock, the bonding
of cities for public improvements and
the undue imitation of credit were at
tackled Tuesday night by James J.>Hill
in an address before the ST. Paul
Credit Mems association at dinner
at the Saint Paul hotel. President
Vincent of the university, who made
an address, was doomed for the presl-
dency by two speakers, who hailed him
to fill the role of scholar in politics.
Mr.. Hill urged legislation limiting
the floating of notes as securities. He
assailed the financing of public i'm
provements through bond issues as
impracticable and unwarranted."
DEMONSTRATING Mad
"The American public is money
spending mad, with no thought OF
economy" said Mr.. Hill.
He urged common sense in the bust
ness of credits and in legislation, as
sorting that undue contraction or ex-
pansion of credit will work much
/! harm.
There is need of less politics at
Washington, and at least glimmer of
craftsmanship" said the railroad mag
nate. The imitation of credit was
pointed out as one of the causes of
high prices. Mr.. Hills subject was,

Poses as Detective
Small Girl Has Played Main Part in

Helen Scully catches burglars. In

Helen is only II.
Helen's aunt, Mrs. H. J. Parsells,
with whom the little girl lives at 421
Third street, Brooklyn, had gone out
leaving the apartment empty last Fri
day afternoon. Helen came in little
later from school When she got to
her own door a strange man walked
out in a hurry. He told Helen that it
was all right; that he was the gas
man.
The girl thought that was strange,
for the gas man had called on them
only that morning. When she looked
at the door and saw that it had been
forced open and went in and found
her aunt's jewel case lying in the
front hall she marched right out again
and downstairs and grabbed the visi-
tor by his coat tails. He assured her
that he was all he said he was and
just to prove it volunteered to 60 back
to the apartment.
He wanted Helen to go upstairs
first, but Helen remembering her ex-
periences with other burglars hung
back and when they were half way up
stairs again darted into an apartment
on the third floor.
Mrs. L. L. Lax lives there and into
her startled ear Helen poured the news
that she had burglar outside. As
