A Kaiser Analogy From Dickens

The Austrian and German Kaisers

Squears and Mr.. Snawley in their
professed love for humanity, typified
by "Sm1ke." Thus-"You, Sir" said
Snawley, addressing the terrified
Smike, "are an unnatural, migrate
full, unlovable boy. You won't let me
love you when | want to. Won't you
come home, won't your"
mo, no, no." cried Smike, shrink
ing back.
'He never loved nobody" bawled
Squears through the keyhole. "He
never loved me; he never loved
Waterford (Squear's SOM, who is
next door but one to a cherubim. How
can you ever expect he will love his
father? He'll never love his father
he won't. He don't know what it is
to have father. He don't under
stand it. 1t amt in him."
Mr.. Snawley looked stedfastly al
his son for full minute, and Their
covering his eyes with his hand, anc
once more raising his hat in the air
appeared deeply occupied in deplor-
ing his black ineratitude Then draw.
ing his arms across his eyes, he
picked up Mr.. Squear's hat, and tax
ing it under one arm, and his owr
under the other, walked slowly ane

''Snou, " Fine Collie
Of Logan Family
Killed By Auto

"Snow" Logan, the old family collie
of the Charles 7. Logans was killed
on Saturday last about one p. m. by
an automobile "Snow" was in the
habit of running out into the street
and barking at every passing horse
He could not be broken of this habit
1t had become mania. Every time
a horse and wagon would go along
Bluff road the dog insisted upon leap
ing after his head, barking furiously
the while. He was never known to
bite a horse. Whether he hated
horses no one knows, or perhaps it
might have been playfulness, or an
idea he had that they were running
away and he wanted to catch them.
At any rate "Snow" was greatly
beloved by his owners. He was the
personal property of the late Charles
T. Logan, jr., and the two were great
companions. When the young master
died last year the dog became COM
pletely changed. He was morose and
moped around as though himself in
great grief He was never the same,
and the family could see that he was
deeply affected.
"Snow," came from the finest col
lie stock at Farm Crest Kennels,
Falls Church, Va, and had pedigree
quite distinguished, being of litter
of four in November, 1904. He was
therefore thirteen years old, nearly.
"Snow" had many friends among the
boys. He was never known to bite
anyone, but once, an Italian, though
he had warning way of nipping
people now and then, but always
harmlessly He was splendid watch
dog, and old Pearsall used to say
"Snow" would always "get" him
when he would wear rubbers on the
grass while making the rounds at
night. He was always intelligent and
keen enough to raise an alarm at
| the slightest intrusion, and all the
policemen who ever guarded Palisade
at night knew of the fidelity of the
canine charge within the house He
! had almost human intelligence, and
there is no doubt in the minds of the
family but that he had well-devel-
oped sense of humor. He had a de-
cided grin which he would affect upon
command, giving sort of sniffle
when told to laugh, showing his teeth,
and always shaking his head vigor
ously.
"Snow's" attachment for his family
was truly remarkable, indeed touch
ing, and he gave pitiful example of
it after he was struck by the auto
mobile which shattered his spine. He
was brought on to the lawn, and al
though he could not even crawl, he
made every endeavor to get into the
house. He knew he was injured, and
the appealing look in his eyes brought
tears to those who witnessed the very
sad scene. His mistress soothed his
last moments until veterinary
finally came and saw his plight. Then
quick injection sof subtle agent,
and the poor dogs spirit went out
to "dog heaven" leaving very, very
sorrowful hearts behind. He was
given a decent burial, and there will
long linger tender memories of a dog
that loved and was loved.
Poor old "Snow!"
The family are under lasting obi
cations to Mr.. Arthur Brady whose
services most timely at the moment
of trial to Mrs. Logan who was alone
when the accident occurred. Mr..
Brady was most thoughtful and kind.

A Kingdom For Skeeter Killer

The Mosquito Commission must
not be content with what they did
last spring. The insects have De
come numerous and virulent during
this heated and rainy spell. More oil
is needed on the neglected pools and
cellar foundations west of Anderson
avenue. AS it is, classes must be
formed to study the best method OF
slapping mosquitoes, SO as to register
not less than so per cent of hits.
1t would be a lasting disgrace to
this place if that average could not
be maintained by the ordinary Pail
SADIE resident, especially as we often
have visitors who exceed that stand
ard without half trying.

Peace With the Devil

You can always sum up the argu-
ments and appeals of the conscience
Gus DIRECTORS, the pacifsts and the
rest of the ugly brood in the one
sentence "For Gawd's sake, make
peace with the Devil"
The result of needing their appeals
may be seen in the Galician expert
ence of the Russians, where the pac-
fist appeals were listened to by some
of their dupes and put into practice.
Every pacifist should be put in the
front rank and fired on from front
and rear. He is German in sleeps
clothing with the voice of an ass.

Something About Waste Motion
In Milk or Street Railways It's All the Same.
By EARL GOODWIN.


Two hundred members Of the Wilson Normal Commun-
lily Association have solved their milk problem by reducing
distributing and handling COSTS They live in the
nelghborhood and milk will serve all Of them.
furthermore he will reduce his handling costs by serving
milk in quart bottles only.
The Community Association theory is that too many
milk men are competing in the territory and that the
milk distributing systems and each other in
needless and expensive fashion If the entire District Of
Columbia could be organized properly, milk could be dis
t6ued In each neghborhood with neatness and dispatch
and lack of friction and at minimum cost All of which
would probably mean a saving to the consumer.
Ii we had street railroad system in Washington
would not have to pay 10 cents to get from part of the
city to another do frequently. Some day viii
have no friction in the food distributing systems and
less duplication of street companies There system
which does so well PROPERLY regulated monopoly.
And no system is properly regulated until the people it
serves have control
If we had half dozen companies distributing the
United States mail all the country where would BET
The postoce to my mind daily conspicuous example of
the effectiveness and economy of Government ownership

ty scheme for Kidding its neghborhood of motion in
the milk deliveries small example of the proper thing
the postoce example is example of proper
economy.
Mail was delivered by private contract Who would
back to f And who believes private corporation would
undertake to take letter from here to San Francisco for
2 cents in peace time and cents in timef can
imagine whole flock of hundred thousand dollar year
lawyers spending their entire time in Washington telling the
Government how it couldn't possibly be done for less than
20 cents.

TiIsOn Woodrow Writes on "The Second Chance

latest play, Dear Brutus," now
running in London; and he has
used the fairy Lob" and the en-
chanted island as the method by
which to accomplish it for his
characters.
Opinions differ about the merits
OF the play. Some critics regard
u as the greatest achievement of
Barnes peculiar genius, while
others call it in lmprehensible
nonsense. To settle the question
10 our own satisfaction we shall
nave to wait for the production Of
Dear Brutus" on this side of the
water.
But the fact remains that Barrie
has as usual hit upon a profound
truth concerning human nature to
embrolder with his fancy; for of
all those whom Lob" carries off
TO the magic island none alters in
any way his original experience.
They make exactly the same errors
over again, commit exactly the
same tollles in the second chance
that they did in the first. The
mlsmated couples choose once
more the wrong matrimonial part
nerS, and the thieves again show
their bent for dishonesty.
The authors theory is that our
mistakes and sins are due to some
inherent quality in our individual
characters and that SO long as this
remains unchanged our destinies
Will continue unaltered.
,, Of course, in the dramatic form
the theme is presented with all Mr..
Barnes exquisite fancy and deli
clous humori but taken simply as
a bald statement, it is rather
dreary and depressing.
1t is rather q fayorite subject
