SUBSCRIBER REPLIES

Editor News:
Having read the communication in
yesterdays News signed Subscriber"
and headed with the question, is Sun
day Closing Christianity" and feeling
that Subscriber" has been grossly
misinformed or else is too lacking in
necessary information about the "Sun-
day Closing" movement, to form an in
telligent opinion on the subject, 1 beg
permission to say few words for his
enlightment
l shall not wade out into the deep
waters Of theology by trying to answer
the question he asks about Sunday
observance and which he himself
passes up without satisfactory an
swer or even so much as an opinion.
To sidetrack or avoid the real issue,
Subscriber" introduces a lot of irrele-
want matter. True the Sunday Clos
ing" movement has no reference to
CLOSING" the mouths of gossips, who,
for lack of PASTORAL denunciation seem
to disturb the quiet and peace of the
aforesaid Subscriber" Neither does
it have any connection with the sad
situation of any particular hospital
patient, deserving as the patient in
question may be. If the pitiable plight
of the aged woman referred to has
been brought to the attention of any
church or Church people," the matter
has escaped the attention of the writer.
The matter is just as foreign to the
closing question as the talking habits
of some of Subscribers" neighbors.
Every intelligent person who has
the only thing the Church people"
have asked is that the druggists close
their stores on Sunday or refuse to sell
anything except medicine. There are
number of reasons for making this
request One is that it is a violation
of the laws Of the state to sell anything
else on Sunday; and that ought to be
reason sufficient. Just as much VIC
lation of the law as it is to sell whis-
key or carry pistol. Another reason
is that large crowds throng these drug
stores and drug store corners on
Sunday, and in most cases these
are the very ones who ought to
attend Sunday School and church and
be brought under the influences of the
gospel and teachings of Jesus Christ.
OF course no one believes for a moment
that all these people would attend
church IL the drug stores were closed,
but it IL reasonable to assume that
many of them would.
Another reason Is that 1t is unjust
and unfair to the employees of the
drug stores to have to be at their
places of business seven days in the
week, and in most instances long
hours at that OF course there are ex-
ceptional cases, but think this is the
rule. A clerk in one of the drug stores
was heard to remark recently that he
had had only ten days "off" in the past
five years. In five years there are 260

The Dog Days.
nrnn, 49, Mnm norala

from the New York Herald.
When it gets warm in July we still
talk about "the dog days" Contrary
to what is often thought, the term has
no reference to our domestic pets, but
TO Sirius called the Dog star by the
Romans. His prominence in the heav-
ems at this time led them to call most
of July and the first part of August
dies canis-the days of the dog.
IN many parts of the country special
regulations are framed and ordinances
passed to muzZle dogs at this season of
the ycar-because these are the dog
days n it is supposed that rabies
develops more at this time than at any
other. The fact is this is the season
of the wear when rabies is most rare.
There is much less danger to fear that
dogs ma go mad at his time thar in
March n April
Rabies is a real danger that may be-
coue a serious epidemic. Since Sep
TENDER last more than $50 cases have
been reported in Seattle, where the
disease had never been seen before.
There is need OF p~recaution against it,
but the hysterical manifestations of
dread, which, without reason, inhicts
| needless suffering on animals In the
summer time, is wholly unwarranted.
What is needed is the care of stray an
| inlals at all seasons and definite pre-
| cautions for the prevention Of the

bit creek. In correspondence, General
King had said that the battle field
could be easily found, because 1t was
in the L of the Slim Buttes. This
site is thus located. On the high bank,
to the east of the battle field, appear
bare marks which might have been

the morning of the second day. Cen

General Mills remembers well sitting
on dark sand stone rocks and watching
the taking of American Horses cove.
Ihere are dark sand stone rocks to the
immediate north. Every likely location
known to the ranchers was examined.
This alone appears a possibility. In
the absence Of other evidence, it will
probably be designated as the battle
field.

Richest Railroad in the World.


When one encounters in the records
OF South American railroads such Ak
traOrdinary figures as 100000 a mile,
it appears impossible that railroads
can be built in that country with any
kind Of q chance for profit; for 100000
is far more than the average per mile
capitalization of, for instance. the
Pennsylvania railroad. That it can be
lone on a small scale is evidenced by
the Sac Paulo railway in Brazil, which
is a little road S61& miles long, that
cost more than 100000 q mile, and that
earned last year on it's main line more
than 100000 a mile, and was able to
pay il per cent on its common stock.
The largest part Of its earnings come
from coffee. 1t probably earns more
money per mile of road than any other
railroad anywhere on either American
continent, the figure being well in ex-
cess of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie. or
of the Panama railroad, which stand
close to the top of the list in volume Of
! gross earnings per mile among the
railroads operated by American inter-
eStS.
