Scotty wasn't afraid OF any

to death before he learned not
to annoy certain animals.
I'll tell you how he learned his
lesson.
Whenever we were walking in
the woods Scotty was always
nosing around, shifting the
ground to see IL he could find
the scent of some wild animal.
OF course, that was his nature.
But I will say. Scotty was more
playful than dangerous. He usu-
ally scared the creatures out Of

barked at them, but didn't hurt
them. 49,.

Old New Yorker Heart Broken at
 Death of Pet Cat

New York, Aug. 6.--After seventy three years of life that held only bitter memories Charles Smith a watchman, hoped for the day when the breaks" of the world would no longer go against him. But when his pet cat, Patsy, slipped under an eleva- tor car that crushed it to death "Old Man" Smith, as they called him at 530 West Forty-seventh street, decided that the cards of life were stacked against him. So yesterday, breeding over his physical ills and financial misfortunes and grieving over Patsy "Old Man Smith brought upon him. self a similar fate by allowing him. self to be crushed to death by the same elevator car. He left note which said T am tired of life, I couldn't endure the pains any longer. Please pay the 12 cents I owe for newspapers"
 Smith had been day watchman so long at the Hippodrome's warehouse in West Forty-seventh street that he seemed part and parcel of the prem ises. He lived at Mills Hotel No. II, in Bleecker street. Apparently Smith had no friends but Patsy. He shared his lAnches with the cat which was the constant companion of working hours.
 But Patsy, six months ago. was crushed by the elevator while chasing 8 mouse and "Old Man" Smith never was the same after that
 When Emanuel Boykier, night watchfnan, arrived for work yesterday afternoon he called for "Old Man" Smith but received no response. He shouted into the elevator shaft, then noticed that the car seemed to be close to the bottom without actually touching the bottom. He raised it. The car is operated by cable. Then he lowered it. The car struck some- thing soft. Again Boykier raised the car, this time above his head, so that he could look into the bottom of the shaft. There he saw "Old Man" Smiths crumpled form, bent double. "Old Man" Smith had placed himself in sitting posture, raised the car, then let it descend upon him.

LIST MORE CARS,
TAX SMALLER.
MOTOR VEHICLE REGlSTRA-
TIONS FOR FIRST HALF OF
1928 EXCEED WHOLE
1922.

Minnesota registered to June l.,
a total of $4,000 motor vehicles
-56,75O more machines than on
the same date last year and near
ly $500 more than the whole -92Z
total. according to official figures
from the office of the secretary OF
state. 80
Receipts to date are about $780,
600 less than for 1922, in spite of
the larger number of cars and
trucks registered. The statement
shows that the taxes on Minnesota
owned motor vehicles are averaging
more than SO cents under last year,
also less than the predicted aver
age of $1644 for this year. The
slump in collections is attributed
mainly to lower prices on new cars
and allowances for depreciation on
cars 8 and 5 years old.
The state tax or license is col
lected instead of the personal pro.
perty tax and the registration fee
under the old law. Following
adoption of the Babcock good roads
plan, the motor vehicle tax pro
ceeds and federal aid are ueed to
improve and maintain the big 1000
mile system of state trunk high
ways. The shrinkage in auto ia,
collections and gain in number OF
motor vehicles means correspond
ingly less highway funds as the
trunk routes are subjected to great
er use.
