FO WASHINGTON CITY ^ ^srorawiTS 3ne Goat and Thousands of Cats in the Pound Q|f ASHINGTON.?Statistics as to stray domestic animals and their dlaposifw tlou by the DtBtrlct pound have come to light In the semi-annual report of ihat Institution to the health department. For the greater part of the time of the collectors of the pound is taken up with, dogs and q cats. In the half year just closed there were p/%j ' impounded 2,423 cats and 2,176 dogs, whilo of rUUnU other animals thero were only Bix cows, two y. | | horses, and one goat. It is provided by law that ' / J geese also must bo taken into custody when V-l found at largo, but in the last half-year none was ' ' found. Other animals required to bo tnken when t straying are bulls, mules, calves, sheep and hogs. JiiTir . t S A For the latter three classes of animals, pound m?X^lrVl \n( *ocs of ono dollar aro charged for redemption. "- V?\/ A l1'01" geese the charge is BO cents, and for all other animals except cats, two dollars. Fees col- ' Sjlf lected for the half year just completed amounted \-/V to $692. r- Cats are collected only on request of those hav-~C?ycJ % lng them in charge, and are tnken to be painlessly 1 tilled. They nre not even confined for a short period, but put immediately in iho gas chamber, where they are asphyxiated. Officials in charge of the acJvities of the pound are beginning the use of trups for catching cats, but :hese, too, aro placed on private property, and only on request. The traps are jo constructed as to confine the cats in a ventilated box, and before they are placed the party making the request must sign an agreement carefully to ; watch the trap, to notify the pound as soon as possible after the animal Is ;aught, and In case of delay to feed tho confined feline. Dogs, also, after being kept 48 hours In order that owners may have . in opportunity to redeem them, are killed by the administration of charcoal ?as. Death is painless, experts say, and is accomplished In about half a min: ate. In the case of cats, death takes place after about a minute. Some dogs enter the pound us enforced boarders, being quarantined for . suspected rabies. Eighteen dogs retained for examination were returned to ; their owners during the last half year. Of all the other animals collected during tho period. 280 were redeemed by their owners, S6 were sold, and 4,209 i wero turned over to the street cleaning department for disposal. ?~? ?->? ? ? ?~ Stood Himself on Track and Did Ajax Act | A CAR was whizzing toward the green hills of Virginia, not bo far away. t\ The big suburban was crowded.with men, women and bundles, and ; everybody was happy except one passenger who weighed, say, 220 pounds? and every pound a Jag. He was a noisy man. and _ . he wanted to fight. Ho was so set for a scrim- OARfc^ I jdjHj mage that the motorman finally accommodated ]yam T?R ^,c JI I him by putting him off the car. llefore the hero V^omE t ; could get back to his car and start it Mr. Mllwaukee was on the track daring him to run him down. The scheme worked, and the 220 pounds | ??; : : worth of Jag reeled aboard again. ^ I Tho motorman with the valuable assistance of C t jJ the conductor, put the jagman off the car eight fcX. distinct and dramntic times. And for eight dis I tinct and dramatic times Mr. Milwaukee stood , -f ' himself on the track und did the Ajax act, and? Then a small, anemic man who had also been ?7^? overzealous in his attempt to make Milwaukee fn: mous, and who was the roisterer's companion, r took a sudden virtuouB zigzag notion to help out - ?11 """ , the motorman in his good work by sitting on his friend after ho had been ; bounced from the car. You have heard about that rhythmic lly on the wheel of an automobile. Well, sir, tho two created such a rumpus that it attracted the attention of | i passenger who had been reading his newspaper at tho lower end of the car. he was as heavy a man as Milwaukee, and, what weighed more, he was as j sober as that tudge we do our comparing by. One look out of tho wiudow was all i he needed to send him to the rescue. "Hold on?that's my brother; I'll settle him." And he did. You bet he did! The words were not out of his mouth before he had Jumped into the scene of action, flung brother Milwaukee flat on his , back and was sitting astride of him?like a temperance Gambrinus straddling in intoxicated cask. "I've got him where he can't get up; start your car. old man." Tho motorman accepted the invitation and tho car, with its crowd of men, women and various bundles, went whizzing toward the green hills of Vlr- ; , ginia that were almost as far away as when they started. Doesn't Believe in Taking Things Too Seriously THERE is one man in congress who doesn't believe in taking things too seriously. He is Representative Ruck Howard of Georgia, a young man with a brilliant sense of humor. Unlike some of his co-workers in congress. ! lie doesn't try to placate newspaper men. He in tmf ryrrrr of ah ahmpo makes friends of them, but doesn't hesitate to tmeKytriTtoH "i ^9Jr tell tales about them. that ' ?troops vyill ue xftr ...

Representative Howard ulways wonders what the editor said when he read those lines. J It Is No Longer a Joke to This Congressman "LI B'mme a ticket for San Francisco! Hero's the dollar." 11 So many members of the house of representatives have recently thrust this bit of wit upon the member from Connecticut that it Is no longer u Joke , i tn him It ail came about through a bill that Mr. Reilly introduced In tho house "by request." The Zr/MME /\'ticket PER ?n request w?vs made by a man in his district named ( ' WRC'd) i James L. Cowles. in yon AH ^? Long before the parcel post was put into exis- J f ?Jtf* tence Mr. Cowles was advocating it, and so coin- f' plete had the working of that system become, in (vl/rfv v\ his mind at least, that the amount of money re- "' ~jk&\ quired to carry a parcel from C:hicago to St. wpR > flt fa Paul would carry it from Now York to San Fran- ffll [ -'jy" mFj So firm was Mr. Cowles' belief in the feasibility V? of his scheme that he extended it to apply to tho I I < railroads, llo advocated a flat rate for freight nj] i ) olj / and passenger transportation, and his flat rato j~"jliKIII was placed at $1. This would tak?? a passenger -^7 from Washington to Alexandria, ucross the Po- ^ tomac river, or from Washington to Sar. Francisco. "By request," Mr. Reilly introduced a bill in the house to help Mr. Cowles put his scheme into operation. That is as far as it has gone. Aud that is the reason so many members are thrusting $1 bills in Mr. Reilly's direction and aaklng him for tickets to San Francisco. I RT MILL, SOUTH CAROLINA mffinational SUNMTSOIOOL Lesson (By E. O. SEl-DEltS. Director of EvenlnR I Department, the Moody Bible Institute, j ChlcaRO.) LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 1 THE UNFRIENDLY NEIGHBOR. I.E8SON TEXT?Luke 11:1-13. GOLDEN TEXT?-Ask and It shall be ! given unto you; seek, nnd ye shall And: knock and It shall be opened unto you."? Luke 11:9. The only record wo have of this parable Is in this gospel. This portion of Scripturo is usually thought of as being a great teaching on prayer. It is that, and it is more than that. It is a great illustration of the sound principles of pedagogy employed by that wonderful Bible teacher, our Lord and Savior. 1. Teaching by example (v. 1). There was that in the prayer life of Jesus that was different than that of the formallstic religionists of his day, something that inspired the request, "Lord , teach us to pray." His prayer life was different, it was effectual Notice, in passing, the respect of tlio disciples "when ho had ceased." If there is one lesson the oncoming generation needs | to learn it is that of reverence. His j prayers were too sacred to permit of any intrusion. His praying also awoke . in their memory the prayer life of !! John the Baptiser. There is deep psy- | chology hero. Observation, memory, ' perception, concept, all in their logical order. Most Wonderful Prayer. II. Teaching by formula (vv. 2-4). The human mind in weak and needs that assistance which is to be found in a clear statement of truth. Not always can we have the beneilt of a strong personality. Hence Jesus gives us a formula, or prayer, often called the "Lord's I'rayer," but more correctly ( termed "the disciples' prayer." This ( is in some respects the world's most , wonderful prayer, certainly the most ( familiar. Lacking in personal pronouns, it begins with that matchless conception of God, "our Father," it de- ( scends step by step from a considera- , tion of his hallowed name, his kingdom, and his will (Luke 22:42) in heaven and upon earth, down to the question of our need of daily food. It then sweeps backward through the relations of mankind to each other, to temptation, to the power of sin, back (Matt. G: 13) to God once more, back to the Alpha and Omega. In it is in- 1 vocation, supplication and adoration. It sweeps lite whole gamut of man's need, physical, mental and spiritual. It begins in heaven, i^ encircles the earth, it rebounds to those realms of glory from which the Son came, and to which ho returned. A study of the prayers of the saints, living and dead, , ought to bo more emphasized. This kingdom here mentioned is yet to bo fully established. A kingdom demands a king (Rev. 22:20); its beginning, though, is in the hearts of men; it implies entire submission to God's will (Luke 22:42); it delights in doing that will (John 6:28, Eph. 6:6); It. demands an entiro sanctiflcation of our lives, and a desiro that his will shall rule in the earth (1 Thess., 1:3). The i ilftli petition Is not the prayer of the unsaved sinner (John 9:31). Fellow- | ship with God depends upon our will- ! ingness to forgive others (Matt. 6:14, 15; Muik 11:25); but that is not tho ground of God's forgiveness (Eph. 1:7; j 4:32). God does not tempt men (Jas. 1:13); he does permit temptation to assail us, such as modern economic conditions (Mark 1:12, 13), but God ! never allows us to be tempted abovo what wo can bear (1 Cor. 10:13). Vol- j umcs have been written about this prayer and yet its fulness has not even j been suggested. The teacher who really prays cannot be a failure, for ho has the power of God behind his labor. He must, however, not limit himself to his prayer only (Phil. 4:6; Jas. 5:13, 14). The Christian's prayer must be in the name of Christ, which is not named here, for he was not yet cruci- j fled. The Holy Spirit. III. Teaching by parable (vv. 6-10) "A ; parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning." Only the teacher j who can translate truth into terms of "it is like" has really begun to teach Let us beware, however, of a wrong comparison and of to vivid details. I This is not a picture of GoJ, only by way of coi^rast is ho suggested. Thero are three friends here: (1) The needy ! one in his journey; (2) tho needy one who was host, and (3) the needy ono who was a selfish neighbor. The pan- J perlsin of tho second was inexcusable ' / nun i. in* - it. _ ? ? - * 1 vi mi. inr wanacring or trio i first ut night timo cannot go unchal- j lenged (Matt. 2fc:2ft). As for tho j third, it was a most unseasonable hour and his friend's insistence was unreasonable, yet, his insistence emphasized the urgency of the request and the confidence of a friend IV. Teaching by contrast (vv. 11-13). Pedagogically considered this is tho application. Notice it is introduced by tho word "for" and the summary is the sum and substance of all good, the Holy Spirit. Jesus contrasts bread, that which preserves life, with a stone, which is dead nnd lifeless. He contrasts fish, one of the most common meat foods, with a serpent, which signifies deception, and an egg. which is not on'y nutritious but reproductive as well, with a scorpion, which has in It the sting of death. Eueh promise is predicted upon a command (Jas. 4:2), ask, seek, knock. v *? r' * -X La-Weak He I Many people suffer from vn may experience shortness of bi pain over the heart, or dizzy fee lines, 9 after meals or their eyes become blui 9 sufficiently strong to pomp blood to they have cold hands and feet, or ] w blood supply to tho stomach.
