The following humane apepal made by a correspondent in the "Dog World" shows pointedly how dogs are thd victims of a cruel practice; how their dispositions may be spoiled and their lives rendered unnatural and unhappy: "May I plead through your col umns for the better treatment of dogs who are continuously chained, sometimes for weeks and months, without beitig liberated from their imprisonment? The other day a man stated in a police court that his dog had not been off the chain for twelve months; from its puppyhood it had been fastened up without an hour of liberty. "As a lover of dogs I hold that every dog is entitled to regular exer cise, and that it is unjustifiable cruelty to. imprison a dog for life. Such, treatment makes a dog hopeless and miserable; he becomes dejected and often savage and his health suf fers seriously. "A young dog can be trained to be a guard without chaining, and the best watchdogs are those wh^tth? -are not chained. Chains^aie^a leritage of bygone days and shouid be aboj- 1 ished." The best way to keep a dog that needs restraint is to put him in a yard with a high fence. If this is not practicable, fasten a wire across any yard; on this put an iron ring which, when attached by a cord to the dog's collar, will allow him to run backward and forward the full length of the wire. The yard should have shade as well as sunshine, to protect the dog from too great heat of the sun. Make your dog your companion and friend. Treat him kindly and he will respond. ~ft tB"~ cruePto tie a dog under a wagon or allow him to follow an automobile or bicycle. Let him ride with you. A group of negro worshippers, holding a revival meeting in a sjnall dwelling house on Bull's alley, in Greenville, last week, had such a good time ancl raised so much racket that residents of the Harvlcy ?treet sec tion found it necessary to call police, requesting officers to have the negroes put on the muffler so that they would be able to get a little sleep. Police said that there was a negro evangelist in the city last week. He gathered his little flock about him in a tiny house on Bull's alley. Every night they camo. The evangelist chanted his sermons and the congre HAMBONE'S MEDITATIONS Things Worth Knowing A turquoise, regarded by, collectors as the largest and moat perfect in tlu- world, has recently bcm sented to the Field Museum in Chi cago by Hohaimc* Topakyan, grand vuior of Persia, The stone, which weighs- about 10<)0 carats, was an heirloom in his family and its his tory has crossed the lives of shahs and ,bays for generations! The tallest race of people in the world aro the Patagonians who in habit tho horn of South America. They average live feet ten and one third inches. Tlju shortest people are the Laplanders, who average only seven-tenths of an ineh over live fee*. At Stoney Lake, New Hampshire, a summer resort, one may read the sign, "Cottagers tormented by mice take notice. Spencer Piper, of Limos Island, has cats for rent. Good mousers ten cents a week. Kind to children and do not scratch or bite." While he was posting up his notice, the youthful business man rented two of his cats'.

They wore thrilled by his efforts during the first three nights of the revival but during the latter nights they passed the "tin ill" stag.' and the shouting began. Telephone rails from houses ten blocks away from the structure of religious wor ship were sent in to police head quarters. And the officers answered every call. It i.s not the policy of the department to prohibit anyone from worshipping as he or she pleases and the bluecoats merely, re quested the blacks to be more quiet. As the meeting progresed the shout ing, singing and crying increased. What few chairs there were in the house were wrecked, benches wero overturned and "colored sisters" rolled about on the floor while others just stood still and shouted, police said. Saturday night, the last sched uled service of the revival came, and the little band of about 50 blacks again gathered. The meeting was brought to a whirlwind finish and the police were kept busy answering calls, Seeing that it was a totally impossi ble task to attempt to curb the en thusiasm of the blacks, police just told them to try and not wreck the house. They left the negroes .re joicing, still praising the Lord at the top of their voices. The revival ser vices are over and peace and tran quility reigns over that section of the city. Meeting of Civic League. The first assembling: of the Civic League, after the summer adjourn ment, was at the grammar school Monday afternoon.

And we as an or ga luxation have been called upon t? mourn the loss of one of our most efficient, faithful and best loved mem bers, Mrs. Anna Calhoun Ancrum, the simple mention of her namo brings to us a vision of this loyal member, who with tho dignity of her presence has graced so many of our gatherings. Camden, tho fortunate town of her adoption has indeed sus tained a loss in her passing. She was indeed a bright and particular star in the civic, social, intellectual and religious life of the town. Sho gave cheer and helpfulness to all and for many years she gave warmth, charm and brightness to the League. Her artistic taste and love for the beau tiful made her services of especial value to this organization; her advice then, was always sought and appro eiated. ' We are honored by her hav ing been one of us. We nro grateful for it; and we know that she will ever be held in honored and loving memory by the League that she served so well.
