And then those other buildings looked, Beside his, rather small; And so they tore those buildings down And built some twice as tall. And then, beside those taller ones, His own looked rather small; And so he tore his building down And built one twice as tall. Again those other buildings looked, Beside his, rather small; And so they tore those buildings down And built some twice as tall. Keep that up for about ninety-nine stanzas and then try this: The Kaiser built another ship, And Johnny Bull two more. The Kaiser built two other ships, And Johnny Bull built four. The Kaiser then four vessels built, And so on, o'er and o'er— Which left them both, as you can see, Right where they were before. Walter G. Doty. “ Gross ignorance produces a dogmatic spirit.

Gea EST Sanat bre JEF-PABTON OM SALE AT RIGH CLASS DEALERS EYERIWRERE From the Anti-Vivisection Congress at Washington Dr. Richard Cowan, of the Royal Col, lege of Surgeons, London, said: “This mutilation and torture has led many earnest men along the wrong road of research. For more than a quarter of a century I have practiced surgery. Dur- ing that time I have performed some thousands of operations, yet cannot recall a single instance in which I owed any- thing to public reports of vivisection ex- periments. It is my deliberate and con- sidered opinion that vivisection as a method of research is wrong and mis- leading. It is a terrible mistake to think ase in animals and in man is same.” Human vivisection is a fact and is “ so widespread as to be called general”, de clared Frank Stephens, of Philadelphia.

C., had acknowledged having used 339 children, 262 of them from the Baptist orphanage at Thomasville, N. C., furnished “by courtesy” of the house physician there, to experiment upon. The children, he ranged from two months to thirteen years, The obituary of Dr. von Ruck’s experiments, said Mr. Stephens, also will be the “obituary of any children upon whom he and his asso- ciates experimented.” Dr. Albert Leffingwell, of Philadelphia, declared that “if the vivisectionists can secure for the charity hospital that abso- Inte power and seercey which has been gained in animal experimentation, then within the lifetime of men now living human beings will take their place as material for investigation of human a‘l- ments.” LOT) “ARE THESE LIVE CRABS?” “T SHOULD THINK you THERE'S ONE BITING YOUR FINGE “oH, YES, TO BE SURF!
