His ChIidren's Work,

He was certainly very poor speci- men of humanity. and, so far as could be seen, was certainly a fitting recip- ient of the pennies dropped into his box by the charitable-minded. Day af- ter day he sat there, none knowing or caring how he managed the Journey to and from his residence, in whatever part of the town that might be. with out an accident. What brought you to this. my poor fellow?" inquired a lady of rather more practical turn of mind than many. My children. ma'am," replied the fellow, with a pitiful groan. Dropping some coins into the box. the lady passed on. with a remark to her companion as to what some children are responsible for. A bystander. who overheard the remark, asked him the ages of his children The eldest is twelve, and there are four others" replied the knave. Then you rascal. how could they bring you to this?" "ln . handcart. the same as they take me away" was the self-sat- isfed response.

DOGS NO MATCH FOR BUCK
Animal at Bay Proved Itself Master of Pack That Had Been Put on
 It's Track.

Animals of different species do not often fight one another because they cannot comprehend or guard against an attack different from that used by one of their own kind.
 The predatory beasts in many cases overcome their prey. not because they are very much stronger, but because of the fear and confusion that their strange method of attack rouses in their quarry.
 For example, a dog of Q fighting breed charges like lion, and nearly every member of the deer tribe, in cluding even the elk and moose. flies from him in panic; but when one of these animals learns the real power of the dog 1t Is different matter.
 Hobart Ames kept a number of deer in . park at his winter home in Ten nessee. among them a buck with a fine set of horns. The buck came to have a great contempt and dislike for dogs. and any unfortunate dog that escape with his life.
 The buck had learned that no dog could withstand the charge or the thrust of his horns. and running from them was the last thing he thought of. On the other hand, the dogs were greatly puzzled by an animal that ought by all rules to run away, but did not.
 One night the big buck jumped out of his yard, and MT Ames' foreman put the dogs on the deers track and found him in a thicket a quarter of a mile from the house. There was . fight, , and then the dogs were seen coming home at top speed. followed by tho eoraged buck.
 His hair was turned the wrong way and his eyes burned redly as he , charged every dog he could overtake. Several of tho hounds vere badly hurt and all of them were scared. They ded to their own quarters, and it required tho combined efforts of tho kennel men and stable boys to rescue tho pack. Probably # . single ono of tho hounds had learned to light . deer at bay his example would have been followed by his mates.-Youth's Con- panion.

JULES TALK WINS
 AT MUSICAL FESTIVAL
To Appear at Central College in This City Next Friday
 Night

The fifth annual music festival was opened at the Municipal Audito- rum last night with a choral pro- gram by chorus of 15O voices under the direction of Miss Sarah Yancey Cline. The soloist was the famous violinist, Jules Falk, who gave eight numbers. The technical proficiency of this artist and the exquisite sweet ness and purity of his tones were a delight to the audience. His marvel ous skill and interpretation were especially manifest in the Introduc- tion and Rondo Capriciosso' by Saint Saens. The smoothness of his exc cution in the Schubert Ave Maria and the Bird of Prophet by Schu- mann-Auer and the dainty sweetness of the 'Rondino,' on a theme of Beethoven by Kreisler. brought forth enthusiastic applause, the large au- dience insisting on a repetition of the Rodino. As another encore, he play ed the Gypsy Song by Sarah ate."-Gazette.
 MT. Falk will play some of these compositions at Central College in this city next Friday evening. The attraction will be under the auspices of the Orpheus Club of this city. Prices will range from Sl to p cents.

 WASHINGTON, March 20. - A re- ply was received today from General Carranza to the request of the Am erican war department for the right to use the Mexican railway lines in pursuing General Villa and his outlaw band The war department based it's request for the use of the railroads on the necessity for expeditions move ment of necessary supplies to the American columns. In his answer Carranza asks for more complete in formation as to just what form the user will take, and for details of op- eration.

LONDON, March 20. - The war of flee issued an official bulletin today, telling of a great allied aeropsne raid on the German airship headquarters at Zeebrugge in Belgium. There were seventy-nine aircraft in the raid, of various types. including monoplanes, biplanes and seaplanes. Sixty-fiye of the attacking aircraft were British, and fourteen French and Belgian.

While the allied air ships flew high to avoid the anti aircraft guns, it was evident that much damage was caused by the bombs dropped. All of the airships returned in safety to their bases.

The leading stocks like United States Steel experienced an unwonted heaviness, which also had considerable effect on the quantity of trading, and likewise on the general slump in quotations. The peace ru- mors are the more interesting cause of the decline, and for a time today the whole market was in a whirl be- cause of the excitement caused.
