"CLOSE OF A PERFECT DAY"
Just a Few Words In Appreciation Of a
Picnic That Is Altogether
Enjoyable.

l am partial - picnics-the spread
Ing of the cloth in the woods or beside
a stream-athough am not avid for
sandwiches unless hunger press me.
Rather, let there be skillet In the
company and let Il fire be started. Nor
need a picnic consume the day. In
summer 1t requires but the late after
noon, with such borrowing of the night
as Is necessary for the journey home.
You leave the street car. clanking with
your bundles like an itinerant tinman.
You follow stream, which on these
lower stretches, II is sad to say, Is al
ready infected with the vices of the
city. Like many countryman who
has come to town, II has fallen to dis
sipation. II shows the marks of the
bottle. Further up, Its course is clear
er. You cross II In the mud. Was II
not Christian who fell into the bog be-
cause of the burden on his back? Then
you climb villainously long Mill and
pop out upon an open platform above
the city.
The height commands n prospect to
the west. Below is the smoke of thou
sand suppers. Up from the city there
comes the hum of life, now somewhat
fallen with the traffic of the day--as
though nature already prncticed the
tune for sending later her creatures of
to sleep. You light fire. The baskets
disgorge their secrets. Ants and other
leviathans think evidently that cir
Gus has come or that bears are In the
town. The chops and bacon achieve
their appointed destiny. You throw the
last bone across your shoulder. 1t slips
! and rattles to the river. The sun sets.
Night like an ancient dame puts ON
| her jewels.-Charles s. Brooks, In Yale
! Review.

NEW ANESTHETlC OF VALUE
Substitute for Ether That Greatly Fa-
oilitates Necessary Operation on
Cats and Dogs.

IF some cats and dogs were not
dumb they would undoubtedly get up
u testimonial to DR.. George w. Little
to express their gratitude to him for
introducing substitute for ether-a
substitute which enables them to with
stand operations that are particular
ly hazardous when performed under
ether.
Although because of lack of imagina-
don animals do not suffer mentally as
do humans when facing an operation.
it is impossible to perform serious
operation with the aid of local an
esthetlc. Doctor Little has succeeded
by adapting TO his uses the gas an
esthetic used Ey dental surgeons, says
the Popular Science Monthly.
The machine which Doctor Little en-
ploys in his work in the Animal hos
pital in New York city, conducted by
the American Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals, consists
OF two cylinders, one containing nj
trous oxide and the other oxygen. The
cylinders are connected with two bags
by tubes. One bag IL filed with the
gas, the other with the oxygen. The
outlet of each bag passes into one tube
connected with the mouthplece that Is
attached to the patients nose. The
proportions of the gas employed may
be regulated by valves.

Much of our energy must be used
in this defensive way. II we failed
to take the proper precautions we
should find our internal war more
difficult to cope with than the war
upon the seas.
When We need an army we shall
need 1t badly, and it would be MUIR
der to send unframed men into the
field against the trained fighters of
Germany or even against the Mexi-
cans, who have been schooled in
many of the elements of modern war
fare for five years. The affair at
Carrizal, which ended in defeat of
our men, showed the value Of train
ing. The losses of the Mexicans
were several times our own for the
simple reason that the men of the
black cavalry were probably trained
to a state of efficiency not excelled
in any Of the European armies. Our
regular army would give a good ac-
count Of itself even in Europe. but
1t is too small to count for much.
An unframed army would be OF prac-
tically no value as fighting force.
These are some of the reasons why
the government is wisely preparing
think that such a number will not
be needed are apt to wonder why an
army OF 100000 is none too large
a year from now.
II Germany carries her submarine
warfare to a successful conclusion
we should need the 1000, 900 and
more.-Salt Lake Tribune.

ed on taking n large party Of helpless
persons on a glacier tied together
with rope, while he headed the hap
less band himself, waving an ice axe
and recounting the incidents of the
days when, as he said, he bounded
from peak to peak.

ATLANTA SAYS SHE is GOING
TO BE A CLEAN TOWN S0ON

ATLANTA, Ca, June 18.-Atlanta is
going to be a clean town when the
government assemblies 10000 recruits
at the concentration camp here to train
them for fighting in France. Uncle
Sam himself has announced that the
city must be clean, and the county and
city authorities have announced their
intention of cooperating with him.
The first step in the cleanup cam
paign in preparation for the coming OF
the soldiers was taken early yesterday
morning when the police raided .
large apartment house in the down.
town section and hauled out the guest
of an upstairs hotel near the termina
station. These will be followed BY
frequent intervals until every estab.
lishment of doubtful character has
been put out fbusiness.
Three commissioners sent here by
Tie war department have called in the
county and city authorities anr notl-
f>d them that Atlanta must be cleaned
up. They have stated that unless At
lanta is cleaned up, the government
will either move the concentration
camp of place the city under martial
law. OF course Atlanta has no inten-
ton of losing the concentration camp,
and the local authorities will, there
fore, cooperate with the representa-
tives of the dar department.
Soldiers on the fighting line must be
in the best of physical condition. They
are like football players in training.
To expose recruits in the concentra-
ton camp to the perils of women wine
and cards would be disastrous. Hence
tie government is determined that
gamblers, blind tigers and women OF
lad repute shall not sojourn in reach
of them.

EXPLAINS HOW
HE BEAT FREDDIE WALSH

NEW YORK, June 1S.-The terrific
beating doled out to Freddie Welsh
v hen he met Johnny Kilbane in New
York probably is as much response
bic as anything for the fact that Benny
Leonard is now lightweight champion
CT the world.
Jimmy Dunn believes it, Kilbane is
certain of it, and more than one fol-
lower of the fistic game is inclined to
believe there is something in it,
1t is undeniably true that Welsh re-
ceived a thorough FASTING from Kill
bane, and it is also an unchallenged
fact that Welsh was faster in his
blocking and had more speed when he
started with Kilbane than when he met
the New York lightweight.
Kilbane hit Welsh everywhere, ex-
cept right on the spot that Welsh al
ways had kept covered until he met
Leonard. If Kilbane had been given
the same opportunity for victory that
presented itself to Leonard, he proba-
bly, would be wearing a crown on each
angle of his eurled locks.
"The only thing ! am sorry for, ,
Kilbane declared after he had seen
Champion Welsh uncrowned, lis that
/ wasn't in there instead of Leonard.
don't want to take any credit from
Leonard. He's grand little scrapper
But l certainly believe would have
finished Welsh that night quicker than
he did. l started Welsh to oblivion
and Leonard finished the truck"
Dunn declared Kilbane a much bet
ter workman in the ring than Leon
ard.
"Kilbane is one-punch knockout,
he declared, land Leonard is not. II
Kilbane had been in the ring with
Welsh the night he lost the champion
ship instead of Leonard, you wouldn'.
be hearing any arguments as to
whether or not the referee erred in
not counting over Welsh. Mr.. Welsh
would have been on the floor, and he
would have been carried to his corner
if Johnny had landed on his head. Be-
lieye me. that's right. If you don't
believe Kilbane hits hard you might
ask George CLANCY"
The argument over which of these
champions is the more sudden finishel
and whether one is really so much
better than the other probably will
soon be settled, for arrangements ara
being made to bring them together. This
match probably will be pulled off Jul!
4 either in Ohio or New oYrk.
