however, indulge in the same feeding
tactics. which is as much an error
with them as among human beings.
The canine alimentary tract is so
short that 1t permits the dog to eat its
food without proper chewing-in fact
food goes through the tract so quickly
that the creature may eat tainted meat
without particular harm. This &C
counts for the well known fact that
dogs are a sort Of scavenger, and seem
to like putrid meat. which they often
eat without any signs of harm at all
Cats forced by their dislike of shar-

corner by themselves and wait until

the almost human habit of taking a
meal slowly. Human beings mix a
liberal amount of talk and laughter
With their meals, and thus secure the
same effect.

This selection should not fool the

outdoors is resistless; If the animal

1t probably would be better to feed
dog or cat the same amount of food

is common practice with many pet

Art Of Roasting.
Beware, oh gentle friend, beware
OF how you roast" your fellow man
Who goes his way with humble care
And simply does the best he can.
The youth serene in glad attire.
Destined for great achievement seems,
Yet may leave nothing to admire
Except the grandeur of his dreams.
The lad who had to fight his way
Fastened his trousers with a nail
And sold his papers, day by day.
Not knowing such word as fail"
A man who once seemed strange in
thought
May brave the storms Of ridicuie
Until his name to all is taught
To point a lesson in LIES School
Laugh as you may, in spirit fair
Respect each mortal's honest plan.

OF how you roast" your fellow man.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcEHELL.

Many persons get q peculiar pleasure
! from watching animals eat
The uncharitRhie may feel inclined to
say that this Is so because such persons
themselves like TO eat.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth
Often the man or woman who gets
the greatest happiness out Of feeding
animals Is 3 sparse eater.
Indeed, the small eater. so called. Is
perhaps more inclined TO get JOY out OF
watching an animal feed.
The gusto of the creature, the zeal
with which it attacks its dinner. is
something which ordinarily human
beings either lack or conceal.
He eats ike hog
Such a remark, about human being
is not often considered q compliment.
Yet the average pig eats with an
avidity which q mere human being
NAV envy since digestion waits on APP
petite.
Surely it is the appetite of dog or
cat which appeals to those persons who
love to feed them.
Here is q creature which knows
nothing about restraint
He has not been brought up on rules
Vi StieOCsSSs SNS SOAA0ANSAS OA'AJ A--S
feelings
And these tell him that he is hungry
And that here, before him. is some
thing to eat.
The way he goes to it is at once
shame upon the pampered appetttes of
many human beings, and vindication
Of the ways Of Nature.
An animal puts his face down in his
food and chaws away for dear life.
With him it is life, indeed, for he
knows nothing of the future.
It is take what you can today. be-
cause as far as he knows anything
about it there is no tomorrow.
With the animals there was no yes
terday and there is no tomorrow. All
that exists for them is today. or. rather,
the very minute in which they live
When the friend of animals stops to
consider that they know nothing about
being polite, but only about taking in
as much grub" as they can as quickly
as possible, lest some other animal get
a share Of it, he Is amazed. some
times, at their very good manners.
"a -
With animals, as with human beings,
there are all sorts Of eaters.
Some are what, among human beings,
one calls gross feeders.
They stick in their shouts and gobble
their food as noisily as possible.
Invariably such dogs and cats, as well
as stock, manage to waste some of their
food by pushing it out Of the plate or
pan or other receptacle in which it was
placed for them.
Greedy feeders among cats and dogs
insist on dragging pieces of meat out
OF plates and smearing them all over
the floor
Animals differ widely, in their ac-
ceptance of food, in the matter of the
noise they make about it.
Some shuttle and grunt and make
gurgling noises, for all the world like an
old man past the age of discretion who
doesn't mind who hears him consume
his bowl of soup.
Others are very dainty feeders, and
cannot be heard at any appreciate
distance. certainly not half as far as
the average human being eating toast
or corn on the cob.

Capone Goes TO Jail.

You may appeal from the verdict
and sentence Of the trial court" says
the United States Circuit Court of Ap-
pealS to Alphonse Capone. but pend
ing the appeal you must stay in Jail.
You need not be taken to the Federal
prison at Leavenworth. but may spend
the time while awaiting decision in the
jail Of Cook County. Ill. The time so
spent will not be deducted from your
sentence OF eleven years in prison. You
may ask a justice of the United States
Supreme Court for freedom on bail. and
II you are denied bail you may then be
taken to Leavenworth and may be given
credit for the time spent in jail here
pending these proceedings. 1t is up to
you"
Tnat, In effect. Is the answer given
to the gangster chieftain who has Just
come to grief at the hands Of the Fed
eral law. Cook County Jail may be a
pleasanter place than Leavenworth. but
1t Is no Miami estate. Capone will
really save money by staying there. for
ne Val be guarded securely without cost
to himself. He will not have to hire
gunner to protect him from his en-
emles, who are legion and who are bent
upon his destruction. He may postpone
the trip to Kansas for a little while, a
few weeks perhaps. but his chances of
escaping it altogether are slender. So
slender, indeed. are they that his attor-
neys are already talking about vacating
the supersedeas. the writ of stay of
execution that was granted yesterday.
by which they would enable their client
to start working out his term at once.
