forcefully the human Interest phase

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

; 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.

End Comas at Death Hons.
I'd like to stop right here, but I can
not, because this is not the end. 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.

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 New Willys-Knight
You will concede the luxuriousness and beauty
of this car without argument.
Its practical advantages finally determine its
purchase.
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.
The Willys-Knights are value pre-eminent be
cause they share proportionately in the econ
omies of our vast production of a complete
line of cars.
See us now about your new Willys-Knight and
avoid the possibility of delayed delivery dur
ing the spring rush.
