CERTAINLY DID THE WORK
Effective Form of Isolation, Though
II Did Not Get Approval Of
Dogs Owner.

Here's one Of Walter Kelly's dog
stories. Walter doesn't vouch for it,
but it comes from a friend of his, so
it's probably all right, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
1t seems hat Kelly left town on a
business trip some time ago, and left
his blue-ribbon dogs in the care of a
man who was supposed to know all
about dogs. In about a week this man
wrote that one of the dogs had devel-
oped symptoms that indicated mango,
and asked for instructions. Kelly
wired back as follows:
isolate dog at once. Take no
chances of mango spreading"
Sufficient instructions. and within
the ten-word limit. When the owner
got back home he asked the guardian
If the dog had really developed mango.
The man looked surprised and answer
ed:
why, no. isolated him right away
like you said. But don't you worry;
it didn't hurt him none. I done 1t
with chloroform an he never knowed
what happened"

After several years Of Indigestion

one finally loses faith in things gen.

A N. Y. woman writes an interesting

in definition to assume that Paris is
under siege. There has been no in
vestmert, no notice of Commandment
no warning to nonconlbatants. AS
in the case of the early Zeppelin
raids On Antwerp, the Only excuse
for the performance appears to be
the spread Of terror among noncom-
batants. 1t is quite impossible for
! such a raid to have any military eff
feet. Fot-hunting from the air
among church. going women and chill
dren is a Sunday sport that is not
likely to be generally oopularized
among civilized peoples.
Antwerp having been taken, it is
now to be laid under a levy of
$100,000,c00 war tribute, according
TO the most recent dispatches. Thus
does neutral Belgium oay the pen
atty of its neutrality; first by being
ravished and destroyed, then by hav-
ing the costs of its ruin charged up

are scattered to the charitable homes
and institutions of neighboring coun-
tries; hut its brave army is still in
the field.
New ba,barities yet are planned,
with the channel coast IS the base
when Britain is to be terrorized by
Zeppelin raids; raids as useless and
purposeless. in any real military
way. as those against Paris and
Antwerp: raids that can only en-

charge is lrade that it is costing the
lawyers their occupation: no more
contingent fees in personal injury
cases; consequently nothing for the
lawyer to do to keep himself in busi-
rcss; so the lawyers must get rid of
the law or leave the State.
Under the referendum statute of
Nebraska, the necessary petition has
been prepared and filed, and at the
coming election the voters will de-
termine whether they wish to uphold
or reject the law. Unless IS per cent
of those taking part in The election,
cast affirmative ballots in favor OF
the law, it will be nullified.
The charge is freely made that the
lawyers If the State are unanimous

That seems rather a severe charge.
That sort f law cannot be drafted
and carried through legislature
without the help cf the best legal
talent; and by all accounts great
