A VENERABLE citizen who lives
on the street called Easy is au-
thority for the statement that the
wolf at the door is the common
enemy of man. Likewise, woman.
He said so-like this:
IF you have ever heard him ErowI
or felt the sharp white of his teeth.
you will never be able to forget him.
no matter how the checks take to fly
ing in. Some folks who have fought
their way to prosperity may pretend
not to remember. but it Is bunk my
dear. All bunk When / was a lit
tie jigger, the wolf was always at
my door. Sometimes he almost had
me by the throat-but 1 downed him
at last, though l shall never lose the
scars.
Il often wonder what poor little
| boys do now to make an emergency
penny. In my day I could pick up a
job on any street holding a horse.
There is no telling how many thou
sands of boys have been saved from
starvation or stealing by holding
horses. There are no horses today.
Once when my mother had no
money for the rent she pawned my
dead fathers watch. 1t brought
money enough to square the landlord
! and feed US until she got work. 1
am wearing that watch today. You
couldn't tide over hunger and evic-
tion these times with a watch, be-
cause there are no blessed balls!
Progress is a mighty fine thing, but
l am thankful I had my fight with
the wolf when horses and pawnshops
were around to give me weapons"
Which is one commendation, any
! how, for that semi-modern era that
age calls the good old times"

"CircIeS of Life"

THE traveller among the islands OF
the tropics finds few more curl
ously interesting sights than the coral
reefs that surround them. The variety
Of color exhibited by the reefs where
the living corals abound is as won
derful and beautiful as that in a
flower garden. But the eye Of the
naturalist detects beauties and points
Of interest that entirely escape the
eye of the casual or careless visitor
for every circling reef is the home Of
a vast variety Of living forms, which
exhibit some of natures most cum
ming handiwork in the adaptation OF
means to ends.
Among these curious inhabitants Of
the tropical waters is. for instance.
the caput medusae, an animal that
bears a remarkable resemblance to a
plant, and whose remote ancestors in
the most ancient oceans of the earth
contrived to prolong the existence Of
their kind by developing means of
keeping the water around them CON-
paratively pure. This 10 only one of
. multitude OF wonderful little AMI
mails to be found In such places.

Story of Red Cross.
THE battle of solferino. fougf

THE battle of Solferino. fought in
1859 between the allied French
and Sardinians and the Austrians. was
one of the most sanguinary conflicts
of modern times Twenty thousand
Austrians and eighteen thousand of
the allies were killed and wounded.
To Henri Dunant. a Genevan phi
| lanthropist who witnessed the battle.
it seemed that the wounded, not the
soldiers who met instant death. were
the real unfortunates. The military
hospitals, overburdened. proved in
adequate. Most of the wounded were
, left in agony. Thousands who might
have been saved by timely help died
upon the battlefield.
The Swiss philanthropist and other
volunteers did all they could to re-
! leve the suffering. but that was COM
paratively little. The Genevan asked
himself what could be done to miti-
! gate the horrors Of war. He devoted
much thought to the problem until,
finally, he was able to suggest a plan
Of action. This plan he set forth in
a pamphlet entitled "A Souvenir of
Solferino."
! Dunant advocated an international
society composed Of volunteer nurses
who should hold themselves in readi-
ness to follow armies and aid the
wounded of any nation, to be pro-
tected by all nataions as neutrals and
non- -combatants engaged in works OF
mercy.
! This pamphlet proved to be the
foundation upon which the Red Cross
Society was organized. Dunants prof.
ect was warmly approved by his own
government. When Dunant went to
Paris he found that there. too. the
pamphlet had made a deep impress
sion.
| The day after it's publication in the
French capital. Nine. de Stael, sister
of the Due de Broglie, caused the Red
Cross badges to- be displayed in her
drawing room. To visitors who ask
ed their meaning she made such con-
vincing answer that both Partisan Sc
| ciety and the French government
were soon committed to the Red Cross
principle.
The international conference that
organized the society was held in
Geneva in October. 1853. BY the end
| of the following year thirteen gov
ernments had officially approved the
society's purpose, and today every
civilized nation sustains it. The good
| 1t has accomplished since then is well
known and millions and millions OF
dollars have been subscribed for its
support.
Dunant in winning his night for the
organization Of the Red Cross lost his
own-that is. his own financial ven
lures were disastrous. Happily. how
ever, the dowaser empress Of Russia
and the federal council Of Switzer-
land granted him relief in the shape
of pensions.

PUBS is not much of dog
when it comes to the social
events of the 400 of the dog
- world But when it comes to
that greatest of all virtues, graft
tude, Spuds diminutive shoulders
tower far above the heads of the
milk-fed aristocrats who eye him
disdainfully from the soft cushions
of their motor cars.
Spuds is just an ordinary mongrel
who makes a precarious living trot-
ting around the streets Of Newark.
At least. he did at one time. Today
he is probably the best known dog in
the entire city. He is a success IL
there ever was one. He has had his
picture on the front pages of the
newspapers. he has been interviewed
by star reporters and he is a celeb
rity in his own right. He is self
made dog and he carries his honors
with dignity and modesty, just as self
made men do.
Spuds started out on his career in
very inglorious fashion. No one
knows just where he was born or
that they must have been very ordi-
harry mongrels, if Spuds is true son.
One day Spuds decided to forsake the
old homesteaders and strike out for
himself. He seemed to find the world
| of streets. of alleys and garbage cans
a fascinating one and became a con-
firmed tramp.
For a short time he was adopted
by the school children in one of the
big public schools of the city. and
was petted and fed until he waxed
very sleek and elegant, but he soon
tired of the soft life and struck out
again. He avoided that school like
the plague whenever his wanderings
took him anywhere near it.
one day Spuds stopped in front Of
~ the city hall on Broad street and
eyed the imposing structure with in
terest. He had never seen such an
imposing building before, with its
white stone trimmings and broad.
shining stairs.
He had been In all kinds Of novels

where he had sometimes been re
ceived with open arms. but more Of
ten with curses and kicks. Still his
nomad soul had never been discour-
aged and he entered each new build
ing with the spirit Of the explorer.
Spuds decided that he would ex-
plore the city hall. He eyed the tall
smiling traffic cop on the corner
calmly as he trotted by him and stop
ped for a moment at the foot of the
stairs. Then he wagged his stub Of
