Wanted, A — 'HE question which it is now proper for the New York State legal authorities to ask themselves is, Who is going to take the place of Harry Thaw? Our system of jurisprudence—what- ever that may be—seems to demand that some picturesque criminal be on hand in order that the newspapers can publish something continuously which will satisfy the intelligence of their readers, and in order that certain morbid elements in the body politic he maintained. The courts in New York State (and doubtless elsewhere) appear to be maintained for the intellectual pleas- ure of scandal-mongering old maids. Steady and reliable criminals with degenerate tendencies and enough money to keep their end up are as searce as hen’s tecth, Thaw supplied all the elements needed by any set of courts whose main ambition is to com- pete with the vaudeville business for popular attention. Realizing perfectly that Thaw was a rare find, the courts played him be- fore the public for several years. It is a great record. Will somebody with money now please commit another picturesque crime to keep up the repu- tation of our courts? | Here’s a Case That's UPTO YOU!

CO., 6 Harvard Square, Cambridge, Mass. a “aiid Eyypllan The “Mutt” Dog Show The dog show at Horticultural Hall for the cur of low degree and no distinction bore witness to an affection that springs cternal in the human breast, and in that of man's best four-footed friend as well. The relation between dog and man 1s ncar to the love that leads to marriage and builds a home. Even when a man’s foes are those of his own household, his dog will not leave him. It has been the custom to exploit the dog of a long and honorable line, whose ancestry guarded the camp of William the Conqueror, or lay awaiting a tidbit under the table of Charlemagne, or pranced barking and joyful ahead of the Roman legions, These humbler beasts who have had their day at last are un- Lnown to the peerage of dogdom. The canine college of heralds has no record of their commonplace names. There was not a ribbon among them, and they sat in the camera's hard, unfeeling eye with the painful embarrassment of those unaccustomed to the limelight and the public prints. But each of these dogs in one home or another is a hero. His owners are as proud as he is of a bit of ribbon to show. A dog's a dog for a’ that, and even if he cannot show an imperial lineage his implicit faith in his master, his native goodness of heart, his trothplight of af- fectionate dependence and his touching, sincere sociability ure of more value than many prizes, The noble qualities may be found in prodigious measure in the most unpretentious mongrel. Let not the “mutt” dog be despised, for you cannot read his heart by his unkempt integument; his spirit shines in his ac- tions and in his inextinguishable love. —Philadelphia Public Ledger. |FUNABOUT FORDS A regular book of side splitting funniest stories y DS and poems about Ford autos 64 pages, board cover, 2 colors.
