Circus Dogs Poisoned.

Maquoketa, lathe Smith troupe
of trained dogs and monkeys travel
ling for the past ten years with the
Yankee Robinson shows hail from
Maquoketa, Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
Smith, the owners, having been resi-
dents of this city for many years.
Word has just been received from
them stating that twelve of their
best dogs are dead from poisoning
presumed to have been maliciously
administered. The show was at
Granger and at night the dogs were
left in their kennels in their usual
condition. In the morning twelve of
them were found dead.
No motive was assigned for the
act, and to date the miscreant had
not been apprehended.
The dogs will be replaced by
Manager Buchanan of the Yankee
Robinson shows, but it will probably
be a month before they can be
brought to the same point of excel
lence reached by the others.

A COW on the William Denner farm
near New Hampton has become the

not detect any difference in their
weights. One of them weighed SO
pounds at week old.
The mother is 9-year-old and had
borne one offspring before.
Neighbors and friends for miles
around visited the Denner farm Sun

stick by the principal. They declared
unanimously they are convinced q
grave mistake has been made and that
Mr. Mordorf will be exonerated.
Mordorf declined to discuss the case,
merely saying that anything to be
given out would come from his attor-
ney, Denis r. O'Brien, of Manhattan.
Mr.. O'Brien gave out the following
statements:
"The accounts which appeared in the
newspapers yesterday were grossly ex-
aggerated and Mr.. Mordorf is not
guilty Of any impropriety whatsoever.
l have made thorough investigation
and am convinced that when the facts
are known the parents of the children
in Mr.. Mordorf's school, and the pub
lie generally, will realize that he did
not commit any indiscretion, as all who
have known him and his work for
twenty years must realize.
"Mr Mordorf will not resign and
will continue to perform his duties as
principal of P public School 139."

Mary Elizabeth Woolsey, thirteen a
pupil in Public School 139, Cortelyou
Road, Brooklyn, who accused her prin-
cipal, Oliver c. Mordorf, of hugging
and kissing her in the corridor of the
schoolhouse, was sent home yesterday,
presumably because of her complaint.
She ran up the front stairs of her
home crying that she had been sent
from the schoolhouse, but, after talk
ing with her mother, declined to say
who had ordered her home
Meanwhile an investigation of the
girls charges was promised by James
j.. Reynolds, district superintendent,
who asked Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Wool
sey, parents of the girl, to submit their
complaint in writing. This was done
yesterday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs.
Woolsey were closeted with Mr.. Rev
nolds for more than an hour in the
Eramus High School,
Mr.. and Mrs. Woolsey would not
say what they had told Mr.. REYNOLDS,
but the latter admitted he was told
substantially what had appeared in the
newspapers. He said he would submit
the written complaint to Superintend-
ton.

task, know nothing about either women
or housekeeping. In the first place, house
keeping is one of the occupations tha'
cannot be run upon any cast-iron schedule,
because the very essence of IT II Its uncer-
tainty. Sickness. birth, death, all the
whole drama of life are pitted against
any routine in it.
You can't 60 on with your little cut
and dried program when new iiie Is
coming across the threshold, or your
hearts beloved is being borne out oi the
door, or all the JOY bells are ringngfor you
or black despair has paralyzed you with
horror
And. for another thing, women are not
creatures of routine, They are SIMPLY hot
built that way They are temperamentai'
They have to put their heart IN their
work to do good work and they can oniy
do this upon impulse.
You might as well expect a poet to com
pose matchless sonnet because 1T rs ninc

To break her record at darning, or cake
making, Just because she has reached the
darning or cake-making minute on her
schedule. Every woman will tell you that
If she waits until she feels in the mood Tor
sewing, or cooking, or wakes up some
morning with her hands itching tor the
dust pan and the broom, she can do more
work in an hour than she can IN whole
day if she forces herself at the task when
she has an inward shrinking from It..
OF course in every husircss there has to
be some sort of orderly routine. THIS ~
true also of housekeeping, where meals
must be served on time and beds made,
81 hut ~ 10 NM nj the
lations of housework that il gives woman
more leeway than any other occupation.
This j. well, because it is the most
monotonous work in the world. II is the
labor with the fewest thrills to It. Other
occupations bring to the worker at least
companionship with others. Housework
is mostly solitary, and because woman
does walk the treadmill all alone Is the
more reason why she should not let her
self be made the slave Of system.
II she knows days, and months, and
years beforehand just exactly what she is
goirg TO do every minute of the time, she
will find her task urendurahle. Who could
bear to know that at nire O clock on every
Wednesday, as long as they live, they Will
be washing dishes? They will tell You IN
New England that il is the methodlcal
country housewives who have washed on
Mondays, ironed on Tuesdays, cleaned up
on Fridays, baked on Saturdays, and
rocked in the same place IN their chairs
until they have worn grooves in the floor,
who fill the asylurns.
None OF us want TO do tho same things
Mt the same time every day We even
feel like biting the people we have to KISS
every day, so urge housewives tochuck tho

rs much vanetyinto your work as you can
by doing il at different times and IN
different ways. Go on cooking orgies, and
cleaning bats, and have resting spells
and do them all when you feel an inward
urge that way.

things done. 1t doesn't matter how, or
