he Gateway. Has the time come when the Territory should estab- fish an institution, a sort of con- bined home and school, for orphan ed children or children now cared for b. the several boards of child ren'S guardians or of funds appro- priated by the Territorial Legisla. t.rec
 That is a question that will be propounded to the Legislature which convenes here next March 4, and which it will undoubtedly De called Gn to answer. It was put up 10 the 1927 session but in a rather half-hearted manner and none was surprised when the answer was in the negative. Nobody expected the Bil, seeking to establish an institu- Iticn at Goddard's Sanitarium and to purchase that establishment, to pass ard it didn't.
 MORE SUPPORT THIS YEAR But similar proposal, possibly not designating 2 site however, will be more actively pressed this year, and il will have some strong sup port.

 COST IS NOT HIGI1
 The cost of the present system is not excessive when all conditions iare considered. The average cost Iper month for all four of the Divi- sions is about $2 225, but this only includes board and pensions and not transportation, clothing or in-- cidental expenses, which of course. would materially increase that fig lure.

"The Cat Came Back"

One of the graceful habits of the
house cat is that 1t will come back
The latest instance is that of a tom.
cat in nearby Maryland town. which
returned q distance of twenty miles tc
its owners.
The fact that the family decided tc
keep the cat, and to take pains to
prevent it from killing chickens. and
thereby bringing down on its head fur
Their penalty of Punishment, strikes true
to human nature.
Even though one is aware of the
fact that 1.-The cat comes back" because
1t is cat, and not because it loves
its owners, the equal fact remains that
human beings always are struck by
such instances OF devotion.
1t will not do to question too closely
the motives of cats or human beings
If they show devotion. they should be
given credit for devotion.
The manor cat-who appears
grateful, in a world where there is 50
much evident ungratefulness. must and
will receive the reward due him. Too
close inspection of the human or fe-
line heart will not do. 1t is the wrong
way to bring out the best in either.

An experienced zoo keeper never
would have made the same mistake, for

in before, some of the Oldest Of them

The experience is not uncommon of
having an animal thrive for years in
a small. cramped cage and die in q
few days after being moved to q roomy,
sanitary cage. Nothing is more COM
Portable for them which requires them
to readjust.
Something like this is the case with
the white-haired Massachusetts, con-

In new quarters. Even II given COM

from inconsistencies for the old, familiar
cell where so much of his life was

scenes. new faces and new conditions
howsoever uninviting are those with
which 1t is familiar.

Jesse pomerov,

Jesse Pomeroy's lawyer made serious
mistake. For fifty-four years his client
has been in prison-forty-one of those
years In solitary confinement.
The lawyer grasped what he thought
was an opportunity to ameliorate the
old mans lot-by having him transferred
to State hospital, for the insane where
he would enjoy better care and more
freedom. The move succeeded. The
elderly convict was pronounced insane
and his transfer ordered.
But the attorney had not reckoned on
his client. When Pomeroy heard Of 1t he
protested, and demanded that he be al
lowed to remain in jail. He was trans
ferred by force-and the transfer
brought him his first glimpse Of the out
side world which has changed so mar
velously since the prison gates closed be-

But what did he care now? He had
adjusted himself to prison life. The

Elephants Often Dig
Own Wells i'm Desert
BY Z. E. FREE, PHI. ID.

To match the many stories Of how
captive elephants have learned to pile
teak logs intelligently in Asiatic for
estS or to pull wagons out of the mud
for American circuses, a German nat
uralist, DR.. Ludwig Schuster, reports
the abilities of African wild elephants
In another branch of engineering. In
dry seasons these remarkable animals
keep themselves provided with water,
he says, by digging wells. Natives of
all desert regions know that water a.
most always is obtainable at certain
places in the bottoms of the dried-up
water courses by digging relatively shall
low wells. For years the natives OF
Tanganyika Territory, in Southeast
Africa, have maintained that the wild
elephants knew this same secret and
used it to get water when all moisture
had vanished from the surface streams
and ponds. In recent journey across
the dry plateau of this territory DR.
Schuster discovered many well-like
holes foot or two in diameter, and
sometimes as much as S feet deep. AL
though the country was otherwise dry
some of these holes were found to con-
tain a little water at their bottoms
Fresh elephant tracks proved that these
animals were still in the country and
came frequently to visit these shallow
wells, which they undoubtedly had ex-
cavated for themselves. Presumably
the elephants had scraped out the sand
and dirt with their trunks, little at q
time, as the level of the ground water
sank gradually below the bottom Of what
was originally a shallow natural de-
preston in the ground.
