SUPPORTS 7s,ooo oc-Gs

VIENNA, July 3-From a cen sus which has just been taken in Vienna it appears that the city has 73,0OO dogs, or twice as many as in peace time. At first sight it would seem remarkable that so many people in this pover.y-stricken city should be keeping dogs. "
 One of the principal reasons is the increase in the number of burg lars and thefts, which has led many households to keep dogs for protec- ton. Watchmen with police dogs are employed to guard the great Central Cemetery from which a number of bodies have been stolen.

CHANCE OF MATE FLEETING

DENVER, April 8. - The "bunco

 The "bunco men," Dorothy says, used the Civic Center as a place to round up "suckers."
 Looking for Husband Dorothy donned all her swell
 clothes and "prettied up'' on balmy
 Sunday afternoon and took stroll
 through Civic Center, with both eyes open for a prospective husband. "I'm a wise egg and thought knew thing or two about men,
 she chirped, after policeman had picked her up, charged with "vag-
 rancy," "but I guess there's a couple of hands in the deck I haven't seen.
 eve got a soft spot in my heart | for a home, and all that sort of
 thing, but I don't want to look across the coffee cup into the eyes of some fresh young punk. I want a nice old man, and I thought the Civic Center was just the place to get hold of the kind of man I wanted. had dream that if l could find the right man our affair might lead to marriage"
 Old Man Was Skeptcal 1 Dorothy spied nicely dressed old
 gentleman strolling through the Greek Theater. A smile, little
 squeeze of the old boys arm and little girlish chatter resulted in a
 speaking acquaintance between her and the old gentleman.
 They sauntered to a romantically secluded spot and sat down. Present. ly, however, the old man said he had an appointment with friend, but would return in few minutes. When
 he came back he was accompanied by Copper"

 wife of one of those bunco men, ,''

FLORIDA TO FIGHT

CattIemen Will Fight Project to Be Taken Up at Next Legislature
 Session

TAMPA, Fla, April 9.-One of the biggest fights likely to come up at the next meeting of the State Legisla ture, this month, is one which citrus fruit growers, farmers and many others interested will make to have the free range abolished
 At present Florida cattle, in most instances, are allowed to roam the woods, getting their sustenance wher ever possible. Frequently they find their way into the yards and farms where valuable crops are grown and do vast amount of damage.
 Those opposed to the free range contend that it's abolishment would not only help the entire State, but that it would also help the cattle in dustry, inasmuch as it would tend tc develop modern methods on the part of cattle men. Tha latter have always fought efforts to restrict the open range and are prepared to fight any renewal of such efforts.

BRUTES IN SLEEP
Captivity Seems to Change Nat
uraI Desires.
Wild Beasts Lie Down to slumber,
but Prisoners Appear TO Prefer
TO Repose Standing.

How much Of the pleasure Of sleep
ing comes from the pleasure Of lying
down Is fair subject for debate. Al
most every person who is not a hypo-
critic viii admit that lying down is one
of his most precious privileges. a me-
dieval method of torture was "a clap

that he could not lie down. says the
New York sun and Globe
A study of the sleeping habits Of
animals tends to show that In wild
state they lie down to sleep like Chris
tians, hut in captivity or domestlca-
tiou some prefer TO sleep on their feet.
That's not so difficult for a creature
with four legs, "one at each corner"
but for bipeds it requires quite a
knack. Yet policemen, sentries and
night watchmen have been known 10
sleep in a standing position. And there
was a New Yorker of some distinction,
successful inventor. who, before his
death in Mexico recently, had not lain
down for several years.
Like horse IN stable-he used TO
sleep standing up-generally propping
himself against a mantelpiece. He was
a victim of an extreme form Of en-
largement of the heart, and a recum-
bent position would bring on painful.
and alarming symptoms Immediately.
He used to relate that throughout
the uneasy night he would rest his
weight on either leg alternately, never
on both together, And observation OF
sleeping horses shows that they rest
one leg at time supporting the
weight on the other three.
Not all stabbed horses refrain from
lying down to rest, but 40 per cent do;
and of those tied up, 80 per cent re-
main on their patient feet, whereas a
horse running free in pasture lies
down to sleep and also 10 rest and TO
