This Is AS Applicable to the Lower Animals AS to the
Higher and Is the Philosophy Upon Which HUI

, against the exhibition of the local
vaudeville house.
Since these animals are treated as
we'll and are certainly as clever in
their manipulations as any ever seen
here.
There is no manner of doubt, how
ever, that cruelties are practiced in
the education Of the lower animals for
exhibition purposes and also in con-
anement.
1t is an admitted fact that many wild
animals in confinement go insane.
This was true OF a poor coyote at
the Glen few years ago.
The writer remembers to have walk
ed past it's cage one day and stopped
10 notice its strange action.
The cage-box, rather-was just a
trif1e longer than the animal itself and
very narrow.
The poor, crazy coyGte-WhoSe home
is in the vastness of the plains--paced
back and forth like a maniac in his
cell.
And, at intervals, threw itself
against the door with all the force
1t could muster.
Again and again the miserable beast
| flung himself on the frail barrier that
stood between himself and freedom.
Again and again was visible mad
ness depicted in its eyes over its fail
ure.
1t was as tragic and melancholy a
spectacle as could be seen in this
world
1t symbolized the shrieking protest
of life against any handicap.
1t illustrated the cruelties of civiliza-
ton.
1t demonstrated the futility of an
effort to crush the spirit of the wild
thing.
And was a sardonc commentary on
society
The animals at the Glen are admit
tedly kept there because they "amuse
, the children
And the suggestion that the local
tentative Zoo be made an actual one
as an invaluable civic asset-fre
quently made.
This poor, crazy coyote did, indeed
| 'amuse the children
| Some little boys came along and
viewed its antics, as they regarded
them, hilariously
To keep these antics going at the
top of the coyotes bent, the small
humans poked sticks through the in
terstices and prodded the already
frenzied brute to more spectacular
exhibition.
The harder it threw itself against
its prison walls the louder did the dear
little boys laugh and the harder did
they poke their. sticks through the
cracks
The children, witness, were being
amused"
The truth is that the whole thing
should be banished from the city park
Or, if the city insists in keeping
animals there for the entertainment
of the populace, then they should be
given expert attention.
This is not possible to the attaches
of the city park who have other duties
to perform and are not trained in the
care of wild animals.
They do the best they can but they
are not in position to do what is
necessary and needful.

country's distinguished scientists, a

The trouble is we don't get at the

problematical

reasoning, how would you like it?
You say-oh, we'll, look at the vaude

Don't they go through their PAGES
and go about from place to place.
That's true enough.
But they have the right of choice.
And choice is something the lower
animals do not possess.
This is the reason that a trained
animal exhibition, of whatever nature
or the spectacle in Zoo, is more OF
less painful to those who stop to think
or get beyond the entertainment OF
the moment.

Erianciship.

A little boy got out of bed wrong
one morning and was so hateful all
day that his father finally found it
necessary to punish him.
A little while after the ordeal
was over his mother found him out
back of the barn tenderly caressing
and pctting an old ram that was
pastured there. Her heart was
touched by this display of kind
heartedness on his part, and she
watched him tenderly for some time.
Then, walking over to where he sat,
she inquired:
"What makes my little boy so
good to the old sheep?"
He did not stop or look up, but
answered, sitting sob: =.

THE PRISONERS CIPHER.
A PuzzIing Code That Was Discovered
Only by Accident.

Prisoners in jails are generally very
ingenious, so much so, in fact, that 1t
has been frequently remarked that If
their skill and ingenuity were turned
to honest purposes they would thrive
much better than as criminals.
One branch Of ingenuity Is displayed
in the plans they make to communi-
cate with one another. They construct
cipher codes, but the officials general!
manage to translate them.
Recently in western Jail the guards
encountered a cipher that proved too
hard for them, and 1t was good while
before the puzzling messages were
made out. and then the key was acct.
dentally discovered. A man in for
forgery, as smart rogue as ever was
behind the bars, invented the puzzle.
The writing was on long, narrow
strips of paper, on the edge Of which
were letters and parts of letters that
apparently had no connection and from
which no words could be formed.
One day n deputy who was passing
the cell Of prisoner saw him passing
q long strip of paper around an octagon
lead pencil. He took this paper away.
and on it were the mysterious scrawls
that had worried the keepers.
But the deputy got an idea from this.
and, going back to the office, he wrap
ped the strip around an octagon shaped
lead pencil and after several trials ad-
justed it SO that the parts of letters
fitted together and made a sentence.
though the writing was very fine.
The writer had adopted the simple
ingenious plan Of covering the lead
pencil with the paper and had then
written along one Of the fiat sides. On
unrolling 1t the writing was as mys
teal as cryptogram, but when put
around the pencil, as 1t was originally.
1t could be easily understood.-Dallas

"At Chattanooga one OF the men In

boys accused him of running away, but

declared.
