The Human Side of the News
By EdlUin C.. Hill

ITO every five families. Brooklyn
is the doggiest borough in the
city, with more than 10000.
Queens holds second place, and
Manhattan, with about 10000
tykes, comes third.
The most popular of all breeds
is the Boston terrier. Next comes
that amazing little block of
wood, the wire-haired terrier;
and somber Angus Mcpherson,
our old friend, the Scottie, is
third in public esteem. Along
down the line is he cocker
spaniel, the chow, the Peke, the
English bulls with their squdgy
faces, and those big, alert, in
telligent German shepherd dogs,
that We used to call police dogs.
Dogs of all breeds and all sizes,
from the bulk of Shetland pony
to the size of an over-Stuffed
mouse, blue-blood dogs pedigreed
dogs, with ancestries going back
for a couple of centuries, and
NUTS whose antecedentS would
not bear polite inspection. Dogs
and the love of dogs play an ex-
traordinary part in the throbbing
life of New York City.
One of the most interesting
institutions in the metropolis is
little hospital, mostly for dogs,
down in the lower part of Man.
haitian Island. It was founded by
woman. now gone to a better
world, who had great love for
animals. She was Mrs. Ellen
Prince Speyer. And today. in the
hospital she established and en-.
dowed you can find some OF
the most appealing four-footed
waits you ever laid eyes on.
LOVING CARE
Dogs under treatment for a
variety of ailments; dogs with
broken legs and crushed paws;
blinded dogs: lost dogs, sick from
loneliness; and if you are the right
kind of person and are approved
by the ladies in charge OF this
institution, you can withdraw, II
you please, for your very own
one of these little outcaSts Tor
whom life was almost too much'
And every year there is a prize
for the bestowed dog. There is
prize for the best cared-tor-dog.
There is a prize for the dog OF the
most mixed breeds. And to see
the JOY and pride of the owners
of these once homeless CANNES is
an experience quite unforgetable.
Ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith
was talking about dogs one day
A friend said:
Governor, if you were exiled
on a desert island and could
take with you only one animal
what would it be?"
AL Smith replied:
"a dog"
His friend asked:
what kind"
Said Al Smith:
"Any kind"
His mind went back to the lost
mutt that crept one summer night
to the doorstepS of a home in
Oliver Street. where there were
living a Mr.. and Mrs. Smith and
their boy AL.

HE SHOULD KNOW

Two members of the House
from New York believe in sending
missionaries to their conStitu
ents periodically to ascertain theil
views on pending legislation.
Recently, in response to one o1
these letters, a woman in Buffalo
wrote to one of the legislators anc
advised:
"T'm not interested in telling
you my views on legislation.
81 vote to send you to Con-
greSs so that you may determine
how to vote yourself.
81 do wish, however, that you
would find some home eco

The registration of cars in 1885

PINE CITY MAN
KILLED BY TRAIN
Five People I'm Car Which Strikes
Freight as 1t Was Passing
Over Crossing.

A tragic train accident almost
snuffed out the lives of five young
people of Pine City and Rush City
early Sunday morning and did cause
the death of Edward Mohr, % year
old Pine City man. Mr.. Mohr, who
was driving and who was accompa-
MED by his brother, Earnest, Eddie
Stransky, neighbor, and the Misses
Lucille Kaiser and Gladys Poechman
of Rush City, drove their car, a model
A Ford coach into the side of NOV
ing freight train. The accident hap
pened on the crossing ab2ut one and
one-half miles south of Pine City at
about o'clock Sunday morning when
the young folks were returning from
party. 1t is thought by the sur
vivors of the accident that a frosted
windshield caused the driver to fail
to see the train.
The automobile hit a gondola and
was carried a considerable distance
along the track before being released
and thrown into the ditch. Edward
Mohr was caught under the train and
dragged about 200 feet; the ether
members of the party remained in
the car The impact caused the train
airline to break and thus stopped the
train.
Coroner A. L Arends of Askov, was
called Immediately and he authorized
the removal of the body and the in
jured young people. 1t is thought the
driver was killed instantly, his body
being considerably mangled. How
ever, the others received cuts and
bruises.
The deceased is the son of widow
near the county seat and accidental
death also took younger son some
years ago.
