Uttle Fellows Toddled Away. There are little brown-eyed fellows that Just toddled away from home when the gate was left open and lost themselves when they tried to follow their little masters to school; there are white spits dogs that had never before missjd their weekly bath or known what It was to mix up with dogs of common breed; then there are black ones and brown ones and spotted ones without any pedigree, that have be longed to people who loved them, but who couldn't pay the license fee, so the city that needs quite a lot of mon ey to pay quite a lot of people to sit up in fine buildings with their feet on their desks, orders them killed, and the Humane society attends to the de tails as kindly as they can. ; Comforts Provided for Them. ' Except for the feeling the dog has at being separated from his familiar environment and the love of hla mas ter, he does not suffer at the pound. He has a good bed of clean straw in a comfortable kennel and a generous supply of food, consisting of crack lings and meal, while fresh water ls before him all the time. In every way the kindest treatment is given them by Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Gibson and the lit tle Gibsons, who have made playfel lows out of them all. They do not need to tell you that they are kind to them, for the animals tell that them selves by the way they Jealously leapj about them as they step Into the In closure, for no dog that ls Illy treated in private shows his affection aa they do in public.

That cornea at the death house when no one has appeared to redeem these little ownerless animals that wait, oh, so pa tiently and pathetically, for the mas ter who never comes. In a little room with a padlock on the door are two boxes, thick and heavy and sound proof. One Is for cats and tha other for dogs. He Is put Inside, protesting perhaps as his feet touch the cold lin ing of the floor. A metal collar is ad Justed and the door ls closed. That is all that ls known definitely, except that there la a slight purring of the electric motor that sends the current Into his body. But you feel that the dog strains at the collar from which a thousand needles of agony pierce him; his muscles stiffen; foam drops from his Jaws and a faint blue smoke curls up from his ears. Presently a sense of peace steals over him; his pain and hunger and loneliness are gone, and as his Jaw drops his honest soul' goes out to seek his master. He Is dead. Above At the left ls a sad-eyed dog who has almost given tip hope that his master will ever come to save him from the electric box; at the right, two friendly canines who are more cheerful over their Imprisonment. Below At the left. "Waiting for his master's Toice"; at tho right, an Alaskan "husky," big, strong and energetic, though he has lost one eye in battle, whom none of the big dogs dares go near bnt who lets the little fellows poll and tog at him without a growl. i IwsB t r . ? if'MlU J essss-assss.

Dunning by Mail Is Now Legitimate Kansas City. Mo.. Jan. 20. (L N. S.) A man, somewhat wild in ap pearance, waving a postcard in one hand, strode into the office of Bayllss Steele, postmaster. "Say," began the man, voice pitched in anger, "I got a dun on a postcard through the mails. Who can 1 go to in order to prosecute the fellow that sent me this?" and he threw the card down in front of the surprised post master. ! Since then Steele has prepared him self for such emergencies. They have i been coming often. I "People think it a great insult when they get an account of a bill ! they owe on a postcard,"' said Mr. i Hteele. "They think the one sending the dun has broken the law, but it's perfectly legitimate to send a dun through the malls." Mr. Steele has an opinion from the department at Washington to this effect.

The motor has no equal no near approach in any similar car selling for so moderate a price . or for hundreds of dollars more It is a Willys-Knight sleeve-valve motor, 12000 produced last year and giving the most remarkable satisfaction. Everyone knows that nothing has ever seriously challenged the noiselessness of this type of motor. It has the softest "purr" combined with the greatest power for its size. Its velvet smoothness puts all other motors of like power to shame. It loves carbon and hates the repair shop. It will serve you years longer thousands of miles farther than any other type of motor. And it is the only motor known that does its best work in its old age, after putting all rivals to rout in its youth.
