HUMANE SOCIETY ASKS
JUS. TO KILL CAYUSES
Yakima Indian Reservation
About to Be Overr1ln BY
Wild Horses is claim

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. To-
The King County Humane Society
has started campaign to persuade
the United States government to
slay $4,000 cayuses on the Yakima
Indian Reservation, the other side
of the Cascade Mountains from
mere and nothward from the Column
bia River.
From few culls turned out by
the Indians these horses have grad
ually multiplied" said Charles NJ.
Farrer, executive secretary of the
society. ''The range is fenced with
wire for the most part, and punches
of the ponies have got into the the
lanes between the fences and been
run down by automobiles. Because
they raid ranches, angry ranchers
shoot them. The wounded struggle
off to die, but often before they
do so crows, magipes and coyotes
pounce upon them"
Mr.. Farrer explained that if the
ponies were done away with the
government could rent the range
for grazing stock, thus producing
an income of several thousand dol
lars annually for the Indian wards
of the government on the reserv&-
ton.
An arrangement several years
ago to kill the cayuses and make
chicken feed and fertilizer Of them
fell through because the Indians
demanded So a head instead Of SCI.

However, SO that no blame could

Bruce begged Ruth not to ac-

shock of Van Dykes shot. But
Ruth could not be idle while others
worked, and she was all for goings

Ruth unwillingly assented, but
when they voted that she should
leave the job to them, she kissed
Bruce and waved to them as they
dashed down the drive.
However, man proposes and
woman does as she pleases. A few
minutes later she was on her pony
and off for the lava pit.
Captain X, for reason Ruth
had never been able to fathom, was
ever on the alert in the protection

No sooner suggested than acted

] should explain perhaps, that il is
not correct to look upon the Koran as
a Mohammedan Bible, or rather as
the bible alone; for this reason:
Among the Mohammedans Of Mo-
ICcco-and the MohammedanS gen.

criminal law beyond that which is
embodied in the Koran. Among
Christians the Bible IL the religious
and moral law. which is quite dis
tinct from. and has nothing to do
with, our civil and criminal law.
Among the Mohammedans the re-
verse Is true. as their civil and crimi-
nal law all emanates from the ko-
ran and the Koran Is both the source
and the final court OF appeal.
This is what makes the Koran such
a nightly important book to the
world. II II were only religious

active influence upon modern civil
cation than our own religious code
has. Any lawyer who argued Case
in a Christian court with the Bible
as his textbook would no doubt be
thought crazy, because our civil and
criminal laws have become so widely
separated from their religious source
that all connection between them IL
now ignored. But the Koran. an l

Christmas Carols at Togus

The singing of Christmas carols Is
an old custom. From the songs heard
on the Bethlehem plains to the carols
OF the christian hosts Of today man
has endeavored to express the joy of
the Christ ma sse.
In the quiet community life OF the
National Soldiers Home at ToGus the
spirit of the Noels Is beautifully ex-
pressed. For 45 years now it has been
the custom for the Home Brass Quar-
tette to play familiar Christmas
carols. At an early hour on Christ
mas nlorning-long before the call of
reveille-the beautiful strains of sa-
cred carols may be heard in the chill
frosty air. From the library cupola
comes the music of the trumpaters. In
the darkness of early morning with
only the light Of the starry heavens
the music Of "Silent Night, Holy
Night is most inspiring. 1t is the
plan Of Professor i. w. Theme to
play three selections this year "Silent
Night. Holy Night Sleep Holy
Babe" and 20, Come All We Faithful"
This custom SO beautifully carried out
in the many years that have passed is
most unique in the annals of carol
playing. A real blessing is assured
the early riser who chances to be in
the community. The music will start
promptly at o'clock A. NJ. The mem
bers of the Home Brass Quartette for
this Yule-tide are as follows:
Joseph A. Christian, first cornet
John T.. Tarasino. second cornct: E.
w. Theme. French horn; Fred T. Fair
brother. trombone.
In the playing OF these familiar sa-
cred carols Togus most fittingly greets
the Christmas morn.
