Remember the Cat.

One OF the serious problems with which the
organization with the long name has TO deal
every summer is the relief or merciful elimina-
ton OF pet cats which have been left in town
by their owners without provisions for their
care Many man woman in whom mercy to
all living creatures is a matter Of instinct or
training, will make the plans for ~ summer
absence from town without giving a Thought to
the welfare OF Tom or Tabby. This peculiar form
OF essneSs-unconscious in most cases, it
must be said-iS the result of an erroneous be-
hef that the cat, of all domestic animals, is a
selt-supportng member of society; that il is a
forager amply able to take care of itself and
lind wcll-stocked arder in every alley
The falsIty Of this belief is demonstrated by
the experience of the agents OF the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals every
summer. And yet the old and cruel error still
obtains, very frequently among people who would
be profoundly shocked by the results Of their
own thoughtlessness, if they were to be con-
fronted with them.
The dog is seldom exposed to the danger of
starvation during the absence Of his owner He
u.s. IN most cases far more intimate friend of
his owner than the cat Then too, the dog
IS far more frequently than the cat a possession
OF greater or less money value For either of
these two reasons, he is usually we'll provided
for if he is left at home
When you are making your arrangements for
the summer absence from the city remember
that the family cat will be exposed to unneces-
sary suffering unless provisions are made either
Tor its sustenance for its peaceful departure
to the cat Nirvana.-New York Mail.

Reputation as An Asset.
BY ORIsON SWEET MARDEN,

The nomination of Charles Evans Hughes
for the Presidency is splendid lesson for young
Americans in the tremendous power of repu-
tation and of what it can do for man.
In spite of the fact that prior to his nomina-
tion Mr.. Hughes refused to give the public the
slightest idea as to what stand he would take
on the vital questions before the country should
he be elected President, he was enthusiastically
nominated at the Chicago convention by the Re-
publican party.
If it had not been generally known what the
justice stood for as a man. his nomination would
have teen practically an impossibility But his
reputation solid in public as well as in
private life He had never done anything in his
public career to queer his character or to stain
his record. He had been square and clean, genu-
inc, manly in all his acts
What people think of you, the reputation you
bear, will have a great deal to do with your
future with the place you take in the world.
We hear great deal about every being
for sale, having his price; but there are many
men, thank God, who think so much more of
their good name, their integrity than they do
OF place or power fortune that nothing on
earth could tempt them for moment to make
sacrifice Of it.
Our public standards are steadily rising. Char
acter is the biggest word in the world today.
~ DlS - H. lHdl To-Day a man character must
overstep his ability for great positions, or he
will not be considered as a candidate.
Young people do not half appreciate what
reputation can do in helping them in keep
ing them back
NaPoeon's reputation for conquering trebed
and quadrupled his chances of victory. 1t struck
terror to his enemies, parayzed what ability
they had He practically won his greatest bat
ties before gun fired, because his very
reputation terrified the enemy. They felt they
were fighting against fate itself Multtudes Of
soldiers both in his own and the opposing armies
had supersitious belief that the Corsican was
a sort OF god. that nothing could stand against
him.
Men OF force and conviction conquer even
before they strike a blow because they anticipate
victory. The thought of possible defeat never
enters their mind, and their very appearance
foreshadows the of whatever they take
in hand.
The confidence to begin thing with vigor
and determination is half OF lfe's battle. 1t
helps you to succeed where timdity. lack of
confidence would fail. The reputation of putting
through everything you undertake of always
winning out is wonderful success asset II
increases others confidence in you and that in
Creases your own.
There is a tremendously encouraging stimu-
latlng influence in other peoples faith in our
ability to do what undertake. And the only
way to gain this great asset is to have the
courage to start out and do what you believe you
are competent to do.
Many people are kept from undertaking what
they perfectly capable Of carrying out be-
cause other people do not believe they can do
the thing and they have not quite confidence
enough IN themselves to go against popular
opinion
The courage to begin is of itself great
reputation asset

The Department of Agriculture reports that
the high prices of meat in this country are partly
due to the fact that production has not kept pace
with the demands Of an increasing population and
partly to enormous losses Of live stock from
disease and exposure. 1t is still incomprehensi-
bic, however, why the prices now being paid by
the consumer have not encouraged and greatly
stimulated production. With steaks and roasts
at present prices it would seem that cattle rails

arouse the antagonism of the Democratic women

changes its course it will drive more people away

Washington weather so far this summer has

that those who went to seashore or mountains
have found conditions half so comfortable 1t is
true that hundreds of business men took ad-
vantage OF the holiday Tuesday to combine
weekend with a week beginning and thus
enjoy quite an extended outing. Thousands of
others spent the Fourth at the pleasant resorts

the river and resumed their toll yesterday greatly
