If 260 feet can be classed as miniature, is being built in Union Square. New York City, for a recruiting station, the object be ing to make men think more seriously of enlisting in some branch of the service. . The battleship will be rigged up as completely as possible, so that each department of a dreadnaught will be shown.

One of the first and most remembered events is the receiv ing of their first outfits. The change Is stimulating and within a few weeks the raw, . ungainly, awkward rookies are turned into trim, neat, well-ordered olive-drabbed sons of Uncle Sam. The "Plattsburg" camps throughout the United States are getting into the wing. Companies have been formed, duties assigned, and programmes ar ranged. There is no monotony at any of the training camps. The men go t ft ere to be Instructed in the duties and require ments of an officer. They learn mill-' tary technique, familiarize themselves with ordnance, and receive lectures; their Instruction is both theoretical and practical. - During certain period or the day the men form in some spot near the camp and. oitting in a circle or convenient position. Iiten to a dissertation on some timely subject delivered by an experienced Army officer. These little impromptu talks go far toward inter esting the men and rousing enthusiasm, and the men acquire knowledge they could not learn from any textbook.

K. i:ORM?H, OF PORTtA.Np BtH TRESPASSING ANIMALS Life in the suburbs would be a calm and perhaps too placid existence were it not for our neighbor's dog, or cat. or chickens. When they carry, off the soup bone for our Sunday dinner, eat the canary, or even dare to molest our patriotic garden, our idea of justice in the case is a summary "off with its, his. her or their respective and collec tive heads." But. alas, for our idea of justice, the decisions of the law courts are "contra." Listen to the unsym pathetic voice of the law as upheld by a long line of decisions. "The mere fact that an animal is trespassing does not justify the killing of it." Such a killing is only justifiable under certain circumstances as pointed out In Parrot vs. Hartsfield. 20 N. C. 242. in which the court said in part: "The law authorizes the act of kill ing a dog found on a man's premises in the act of attempting to destroy his sheep, calves, ponies in a warren, deer in a park, or other reclaimed animals used for food and unable to defend themselves. ... The law is dif ferent where the dog Is chasing animals ferae naturae, such as hares or deer In a wild state, or combating with an other dog. In these cases a necessity for the act of killing must be made out or the killing will not be justi fied. - .... . .

Greenwich Village Is ' that part of old New York which centers in Washington Square. It is bounded on the north by society and on the south by Bohemia. Both contributed to the success of the garden party. Things to eat in Washington Square Park were served in little booths, or from stands, and one of the most popular of these was the "hot dog" stand, suggestive of the epicurean delights of Coney Island. There was a dancing pavilion and the wife of Mayor Mltchel did a one-step there to open the fete. injury or destruction is threatened be imminent or his safety presently men aced, in the sense that a man of ordi nary prudence would be reasonably led to believe that it is necessary for hLm to kill in order to protect his property, and to act at once, he may defend it. even unto the death, of the dog, or other animal, which is about to at tack it." Where the danger Is not imminent, as in a case where the dog was out side of the enclosure, while chasing some turkeys that were within the yard, the court said In part: "The "fact that the dog has visited the premises before, if It has been proved, would not justify the defend ant's act in slaying him. It is not the dog's-predatory habits, or his past transactions, nor his reputation, how ever bad, but the doctrine of, self-defense, whether of person or property, that gives the right to kill. "The dog was not In. a position, with reference to the turkeys, to make the danger to them Imminent, he being in the road or street outside the defend ant's yard, with an Impassable fence and closed gate between him and them. He could easily, have been driven away without resorting to extreme punishment, for It was nothing but punishment inflicted upon him for his supposed paxt transgressions, that. is. resentment and retaliation.-. .It was an . common law and will- OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. jTryrr-y ..... , I 1 "-v- , ., V V. .t'S L vS". .Si 4SJ. : ful within the meaning of the statute." Two Southern cases go still further In their protection of the trespassing animal. In Means v.'

While in Leach v. Lynch 128 S. W. 798.- where it appeared that the defendant' had tried .to get the plaintiff's goat out of his (the defend ant's) premises, and had broken the goat's leg. in the attempt, the court held that the plaintiff could recover damages for the Injury, on the ground that "the evidence did not show that the defendant had. used reasonable care or that the Injury occurred With out the defendant's fault."

The case "of. Trainer v.- Sphalerite Mining t'ompany. 148 -S. W." 70. deals with fuch a situation. In this case the plaintiff.' a "driH-maii." was ' injured by a premature explosion while- filling a drill-hole with shot. The drill-man sued his employer for damages, alleging among. other things that the employer had furnished him with ' a defective : stick of dwamite. The plaintiff, in support of this con tention testified that when about to load the drill-hole with the -shot he noticed that the cap. had come out of the. cap hole. He had to put It back twice to feet It to stay. "He also noticed that ' the paper wrapping of the stick was torn at the cap hole. He had no knife to. make a new cap hole and as he had used a shot of that kind- three or four ttme 'In his mining evp' rience, ' hf""th'onchl US 4 -7-. he could, safely do so again. Accord ingly, putting the cap back In the cap hole, he pushed the. shot, four .or five feet down the drill-hole with his tamping bar. At that point, while en gaged in ramming -it home, the charge exploded." .--'.' "The evidence also showed that the employer or his foreman were person ally unaware of the fact that the shot was defective. Under these circum stances the court ruled that the in jured workman could not hold his .em ployer responsible, saying n part: . "Knowing all these things, this un fortunate .plaintiff, without a particle of necessity . for so doing, and with a contempt for peril born of working in Its ever present shadow, chose to -use the imperfect shot when he could have had another for the asking. ..Where fore, there is nothing in the case war ranting the conclusion that the master expected him to use an Imperfect shot. Observe, too. the plaintiff neither sought nor relied on the master's . ad vice in this behalf. He trusted to his own Judgment. "He knew that using blasting powder Is inherently dangerous at all times and at best. He knew the hazard was two-fold Inflamed by using a leaking shot which hd a loose -p likely to come in contact with the rough walls bf the drill-hole and prematurely, ex plode the charge..
