spires with long inscriptions There are
marble pinnacles and headstones with
pictures of animals chlseled upon them.
And each one tells a story OF dumb devo-
ton by n mute friend that has not been
forgotten since death closed the faithful
eyes. Kanis Ruhe Is run in connection
with one of New Yorks dog and cat
hospitals. 1t is equipped with a COM

York followed tho bodies of their pets up
the hill and saw them lowered into the
little graves.
Members of the Medical Association
of New York craned forward In breath
less interest several days ago as they
watched nine children, three months
ago helpless cripples from spastic
room of the association. The children
were exhibited by two New York
physicians to show the marvellous re-
suits they have obtained by new op-
erative method, of which the basis Is
the treatment of LESSONS OF the brain.
The children, ranging in ages from
four to ten yeas, tottered up and
down the floor or twisted little arms
and wrists at the direction of tho
physicians. while anxious ana smiling
mothers crowded timidly toward the
door. out in the hallway, ready to
clutch them in their arms the moment
the doctors said: There, that's all
baby" These children were selected

New York's cripple hospitals, all of

| these children were benefited consist
ed of making incisions at the temple
| and removing the cysts which had
formed the intercranial hemor:iage
! thus causing the paralysis. In other
words, the surgeons went to the seat
! OF the trouble and removed the cause.
| Heretofore the only method of aiding
sufferers from spastic paralysis has
been tendon lengthening and section

been temporary relief and the years
generally reduce the sufferer to i'm
bccility and idiocY.

1t was recently announced that the
Dutch across the border knew the

riderless horses they saw galloping
about In troops.
The return Of riderless horses to
camp is an almost certain sign Of a
rout that amounts almost to annihila-

but, unless it is wounded, it will nearly
always keep on with the rest.

Many attempts have been made to
extend the Geneva convention to an

sympathy everywhere, but nothing
definite has yet been done, though
every soldier does his best for his

In this war the purple. instead of
red, Genevan cross has been adopted
by British horse lovers who intend to
follow the battle lines to minister to
wounded horses, and to assist rider

CHANCE ALWAYS WINS
MONEY IN BETTING THE OTHER
FELLOW WILL GUESS WRONG.
Peculiar Psychological Fact, But 1t Has
Been Proved to Be Exact
Records of Monte Carlo
Show 1t to Be Right.

Toss a coin into the air 10000 times
and it will very likely turn up heads
as often as tails. But let any man try
on each of the 10000 times to say
whether it will be heads or tails and
if he does not stick to calling the same
one he will miss it more than five
thousand times.
l have the authority of a great psy-
chologist for this queer fact. Leave
thing wholly to chance, and if chances
are even the result will be even.
However, when the human mind
backs its wits against chance it will
in the long run lose.
1t was on this theory that people
will guess wrong oftener than they
will guess right that the Rufus Wall
ingford enterprises, which were closed
up in Philadelphia yesterday, could
thrive. Guessing on future events
where personal preference or preju-
dice enters makes the chance of losing
all the greater.
The most famous insurance concern
In the world is the Lloyds. A fairly
large part of it's business has been to
bet that the other fellow will guess
wrong. That is why it has become so
rich itself.
The bucket shop and its system of
playing the stock market cannot win.
They win very often, but they lose
oftener, hence the empty pockets of
those who try to wiring fortunes out
of guessing whether Union Pacific and
spring wheat will this afternoon go up
or down.
Monte Carlo records show that in a
year the red on any roulette wheel
wins virtually the same number of
times as the black. But the records
also show that any player who does
not cling steadily to one color, but
varies his guesses, will in the end
lose.
I do not include the percentages in
favor of the bank, but Just the straight
red and black proposition. One color
has been known at this most fascinat-
ing spot on the Riviera to come up Sc
consecutive times.
Gamblers say that when tossing
coin you should let the other fellow
call it. Your own chance of winning
is thereby made greater by the human
brains inability to cope against
chance.-Exchange.

Where HIS Thoughts Were.

You scarcely expect this of boy.
but here is what happened:
1t was the last half of the ninth, and
the Indians were one run behind. With
that gameness that has characterized
their play this season they worked a
runner around and tied the score.
Then the battle for the winning run
began. An Indian walked and stole
second. One was out and hit would
win the game.
Up in the stand sat mother, father
and young son. Mother and father had
their eyes riveted on the man at bat,
casting an occasional glance at the
runner on second to be sure he wasn't
caught mapping. The boys mind
seemed suddenly to leave the game
and, just when the excitement was
tensest, he turned to his mother and
said:
Mother, how much is thirteen times
dollar and a half?"'-Indianapolis

Uncorkinu a Bottle.

1t often happens that in attempting
to uncork a bottle the stopper Is
forced into the bottle instead. and it
thus floats on the liquid. This would
perhaps not be drawback were it
not that each time the bottle is to be
emptied the cork comes to the neck
and causes an obstruction, preventing
the flow of the liquid. This can be
avoided very readily, and all that Is
needed is to bend piece Of stiff iron
wire in a long U-shape, properly. fit
ting it in the neck of the bottle so
that the loop portion projects some
what below the neck. Upon overturn-
ing the bottle, the wire loop prevents
the cork from reaching the neck to OBJ
struct it.

capitaIizInq a Weather Report.

reused the curiosity of the local wealth

about the weather prospects in the

part Of the demand from the territory
just west of the Mississippi river.
RAIN was the answer. Its going

the day after"
A week or two later the observer
met the merchant and asked what use
he made Of the information.
'It was worth to me-" replied the
fruit man, "about $780, You see,
grapes can't be picked in wet wealth
