THB OITIZENf FRIDAY4 NOV. 8, 1009. i i Mother Dog's Devotion. Durlng the terribly destructive floods which visited many sections of the country, the followlne nathetlc story was told In a Kansas Journal. It Is on the old, old theme of mother- love, only this time In a dog Instead of a human: A colored man living next door to one McDlvett was taking care of a flno setter bird dog. 'The old dog had a litter of nine puppies, of which sho wbb as proud as ever was any human mother of the first little stranger that came to her home. The mother and her family were kent In the barn In the rear of the lot, and as the water rose the colored man and his family left homo nnrt wont tn thn South Side. Thev ulsn left the does. The barn was lower than the house and h ... -nntn, in nt tho back. -The old dog took a survey of the situation and one by one she vM4 A AWU WAG A41UU 1 V,JU JUJJWU W the house, which was a little higher. Stlll the water crept higher, and once more her precious family was In lowed, and the old dog made pother transfer, this time taking ner family, one at a time, to McDlvett's house next door, which was set high and dry. But the flood had not nearly reach ed the limit yet, and In an hour the water was creeping into the one-story uuuuuis. nuu uiD ijuui uuB-mui.ici was frantic. McDlvett, by making door to the back fence, was able to make a platform there which was three or four feet above the water. There he took refuge, and there the old dog followed, swimming a part of the way, but bringing every one of her family of nine through to the place of safety. The water rose more slowly then, and it looked as if the mother-love of that dog was to be rewarded; but the currents ran swifter, and the wa ter lapped higher and higher, and just before dark, McDlvett had to take to a tree. There was no dry place in sight. The poor old bird dog gave a desnalrlne look nrnnnrt. tnnk nne of the puppies her favorite, perhaps in her mouth, and started away, swimming aimlessly about, looking for a safe place to land it. Soon she disappeared in the current; but in about half an hour she returned swlmmine fierraiv mralnst tho nnr. rent. She swam to the place where she had left the other eight of her babies, and thev wore tronfi. Whllo ho wna irnnn th wntpr hnrt wnshert nwnv tho Httio rnft nnd tho otwht brown babies had heen drowned, The mother managed to take refuge on an old shed near by, and all that night McDlvett says the hardest thing he had to listen to was the mournful howl of that mother. "My own situation was bad enough," he said, "but every time that dog would howl there was something so human in her cry that it made one's heart ache for her." AUTOMOBILE MAINTENANCE. Kingston Editor Figures it to Twen ty-Three Cents a Mile. It Is a strange fact that while the number of automobiles in use in- creases at an enormous annual per- centasre' scarcely anvbodv knows what it costs to maintain such a machine, savs the Kineston Free- man. Not more than a dozen out of a hundred owners keen any account of cost, and of that dozen not more than three seem to possess even a rudimentary knowledce of book- keeping. Yet, in spite of this un- certainty, plenty of people will neglect to pay their debts and will even mortgage their houses to get money to buy automobiles. It is very interesting to hear them laugh with fiendish glee when they see their creditors gnash their teeth with rage as they wiz by. Take the case of a man who ac- quired an automobile at the begin- ning of this season, and will Boon store it away. He should get the opinion of an expert as to the pres- ent value of his property and sub tract the latter from the cost price, Of course, if the machine is sold, all guesswork is eliminated. This de preciation is just as much an ex pense as the cost of gasolene, but few people ever think of it. Also the interest on tho investment at the legal rate for a full year should be put in the expense account. If the owner has a garage of his own, he should put In a fair rental therefor, just as if he hired space elsewhere. If the owner is a mechanic and re- pairs his own machine, he should al- low a reasonable price for his time, since working In that way hardly comes unaer tne neaa or amusement, aitnougu acting as one's own chaur- feur may be so considered. An in- surance premium snould he counted in, wnetner a policy ls bought or the owner insures nimself against 11- anility ana lire. The other expenses win naiurauy De put aown anyway uy uuyuuuy wuu Keeps DooKs ai an. By dividing tne total of all these items by the number of miles trav- eled, the cost per mile ls arrived at, ana tms is me oniy satisractory basis of comparison. It should not be forgotten, however, that the cost per mile increases with the size of tne machine, other things being in ei"1, In trying to ascertain the facts, w uuu an rairewo umoum. 01 re- tlcence among owners. In fact luuru is uui one we nave inquired of who would consent to have his name mentioned. The reasons for this are various as well as obvious, and there Is no need to analyze them. In one case tho owner of a car thinks it has cost him 63 cents a mile, but we do not think highly of his ability as an accountant, and he may be mistaken. The very lowest figure given us and we be- Hove It can be relied upon, is 23 cents per mile, and that does not In cludo the wages of a chauffeur. Moreover, the owner considers that no naa remamaDie gooa iuck in tne wear ot t,ref and Parts. If the pay ot a chauffeur should be added, the expense would be about 32 cents per mllo " aa ono can snow a oeuer record than that, we should bo glad to have hlm tel1 UB- 80 that we may encourage others, stipulating that the ame, of V10 owner and of tne machine be withheld. It Is import- ant t0 not0 that we are considering cn tnat travel four or flve thousand mUes a year- l lB clear that a man wh traveled but 10 miles Would Pay a Pr,c0 Per mile useless for com Parson.

Commander Flala observed among his dogs a sort of government quite Independent of that of their keepers, says the Youth's Companion. They were of the Eskimo variety, and were trained to work in teams. In their general conduct, however, they acted as a community, and their rule,s nad reference to the common """ .oouuimu. ma- tnat f death. During the period of darkness we lost eBht dogs; three of them, splendid large animals, were killed by their companions. The other five elther wandered off on the young Ice ana ,were mown awny, or were Killed uy U1B "lliK ut u "'s" 'f namV, Mvery aog was Known Dy name, 11 ls a curious fact that when one dcf nas antagonized the others, the way lo save mm irom uestruc "On later on is to cnain mm; men me oiner aogs lei mm aione. un- loriuuaieiy lor us, iub uup that seemed to Incur the enmity of their fellows were the large, strong ani mals the bullies and fighters. There seemed to be a degree of justice in their judgments. From close observation, I found that the dogs generally forgave a bite on the head or body, but that an attack on the leSa seemed to be considered foul play, and must be paid for by the life of the offending canine. The whole pack united in his execution. Tho Eskimo Dogs. While the world waits for positive Proof as to the rightful discoverer of tie JNortn f oie ana penaing a seme' ment of the controversy between rlval claimants, we believe it is time to honor those other hardy Arctic ex- plorers the Eskimo dogs. To these four-footed pole-seekers belongs the everlasting credit of mak' lnS travel and scientific exploration possible in the coldest regions of the earth. Through their power and mobility the Icy barriers of the North have been overcome and the efforts of men, who have risked their lives to gain the top of the world, are at last successful. After many years of hardship privation, and suffering, the humble dog has dragged his master to the much-coveted goal, and without ex- pectatlon of reward or hope of-glory, The part he took In the long guest may generally be overlooked and for gotten, but he will not whine nor go mad about it. He will Jog along in his ever-faithful way until he Joins those other silent martyrs of civiliza tion. No hope of future glory nerved him to do and dare, No strong ambition lightened the loads he had to bear. And while the brave explorer reaps his plentiful reward Of fame and gold and honor, yielded with one accord, What thanks has he, the gaunt sledge dog, whose every step was pain, Whoso poor feet, cut and bleeding, craved rest and help in vain Who, worn by toll and scarred by blows, hungry and tired and lamo Dragged his victorious master up the slippery heights of fame?" To Consider New Football Itules. Uadlcal changes in the foot ball rules, aimed at lessening the possi billty of deaths and injuries are recommended by Director A. A. staKE of the University of Chicago. one of the western representatives of the national rules committee, At a meeting of the athletic board recently Stagg was Instructed In a resolution to work for modifications the rules which may be calculated to make the game safer. Stagg's suggestions will be taken up at a moetinu of the conference commit tee being held at Chicago Beach ho- tel at the nresent time The suggestions follow; Allowing two chances to make ten yards, or increasing the distance to fifteen yards and give a team three chances, as Walter Camp has suggested. In this way forward passing will be encouraged by making ubo of the play more often necessary. By prohibiting pushing or pulling ol the runner with the ball, which now does lots of damage, for, first, a single player now is often struck by the combined force of two or three men, and, second, It takes the combined strength of two or more men falling under or on top of the attacking players to stop them. By making a penalty for crawling with the ball, which would encourage standing up in running. By in creasing the penalty for piling on a player unnecessarily. By emphasiz ing the need of the referee blowing his whistle when the ball is stop ped, thus preventing massing. Libeling Nature. The plea of n woman criminal that her sidestep from the path of recti tude was due to her "natural badness" Is not as convincing as that of the col ored man who waB "bad afore de wah, bad cndurln' ob de wah and bad ebber since de wnh." Ho added that ho was befvn bad, and the criminologist knows re to place his type. But this wo- had been good long enough to f3. Lfro man's love. Wo may set this down as a freak caBe, but there must be some reason beyond that of latent heredi tary strain to account for the sudden moral lapse. Natural badness ls consistent. It ls marked by attempts at betterment, and only after repeated backsliding will the erring ono admit that nature Is too strong to be overcome. As a rule criminals manifest a desire to reform and make tho plea of tempta tion. This natural goodness is proba bly moro real than utter natural bad ness. The temptation or the Incentive to crime is the evil to be nlmed at. Wo nro told to pray, "Lead us not Into temptation." And the proverb has It that "Satan finds work for Idle hands to do." Tho woman of means and leisure without strong family and social re straints is in danger. The tendency of the times ls toward activities which give zest to life that is, artificial ex citement. Then the badness which crops out ls not the taint of nature, but n morbid growth. SECRET DIESH WOMAN Never Knowing Circumstances of Her Birth, She Kept Intact Her Childhood Fortune. Philadelphia. Mrs. Robert Swans borough, a woman of mystery, even to herself, Is dead In Axmlnster, Eng land. Her little fortune of $2T),000, the source of which is as deep a mys tery as her antecedents, will fall to Mrs. Hannah Garland of West Phila delphia, a widow. The mysterious woman in England ls the mother of John Garland, whose forbears undoubtedly were of some wealthy and perhaps noble family of England, and who for some reason chose to shroud his mother's life in secrecy. Mrs. Garland has seven children. The family live in com fortable circumstances. When John Garland's mother was an infant she was taken from Ma deira to London under tho direction of an eminent firm of barristers, which made the best of arrangements for her care and education. This was nearly one hundred years ago. The sum of $20,000 was placed in trust, and upon Its Income she lived. When she reached years of understanding she was Informed that the money 'would be forfeited If an atempt was ever made to loam the Identity of the giver, who watched over her, from a hidden position, long 'after she was married. The child without a name became the wife, in 1846, of John Garland, a merchant of Dorchestershlre, by whom she had one child, a son, the late John Garland. Her husband died in 1859, and in 1862 his widow was married to the Rev. Robert Swansbor ough. The first husband had made no effort to learn who his wife's par ents were, but the second ls said to have attempted to gain possession, noc only of the fund from the un known hand, but of money left Mrs. Garland by her first husband, desir ing It for use in his church work. He died last September without having revealed that he knew anything about his wife's birth. Houses Built of Meerschaum. Tho town of Vallecas, in Spain, Is almost entirely built of meerschaum. Vallecas has on Its outskirts great quarries of a meerschaum too coarso for pipe making, and a meerschaum' built town ls tho result an ivory white town that.shlnes in the Spanish sun. In Morocco meerschaum Is so plentiful that they use It. when soft and fresh, for soap. It gives a plenti ful and cleansing lather. Ekdlschehr, In Asia Minor, supplies the world's meerschaum. There are 2.000 mines. large and small, and 8.000 Kurd and Persian meerschaum miners work day and night in them. The meers chaum comes from the earth yellow. and turns white after ten days bleach ing in the sun. 8ettlng Fire to a Whale. A dead whale, seventy-five feet long, came ashore at Phillips Cove, on the Maine coast, and large numbers of tourists went off In motor boats to have a good look at the monster. Then the town authorities towed the car cass two miles out, and lnsertlne into It sticks of dynamite, set the ex plosive off. What was their astonish ment when the whole animal burst Into flames, fed by 'he whale oil for which whales were once so much hunted before the discovery of petro leum. The flames shot ten feet high, and the carcass was several hours In burning, the beach being lined with astonished spectators. BRINGS THE "DEAD" 10 LIFE Doctor Hu Portable Electrical Outfit for Restoring Sus pended Animation WAS USED ON A HUMAN BEING Woman Bollevei That Eleotrooutlon as It li Done .To-dny Does not Rid the Criminal of Life Qlvee a Sci entific! Exhibition. Now Tork, N. Y. Dr. Louise G. Roblnovltch, of No. 28 West Ono Hun dred and Twenty-sixth street, ls try ing to get the Governor and the pris on officials of the State Interested In what she considers a most Important reform in the method of electrocuting criminals. She believes, after many experiments with dumb animals, that tho electrocution of a human be ing as It ls done to-day does not ac tually rid the condemned person, of life, and that the placing of one elec trode on the leg and the other on the head allows of the current distribut ing itself. Her contention Is that one electrode should be placed between the shoulder blades and tho other either In the small of the back or at the base of the skull. Dr. Roblnovltch now has in opera tlon In Paris a portable electrical out nt for the restoration of suspended animation. It is used In the ambul ance service. She does not say she can put life Into the dead, but con tends that before death, there ls a period of four or five minutes when life is suspended. Her method of bringing a patient out of this pre-death coma, if it may be called such, ls to shoot currents of electricity through the body Intermit tently. In her experiments she has shocked Into apparent death dogs and other animals, and has been able to bring them back to consciousness, Dr. Roblnovltch's researches Into death and resuscitation by means of electricity have commanded the at tention of some of the most eminent of surgeons in this country, as well as In France. Recently she gave a dem onstratlon before the New England Association of Physical Therapeutics In Boston, using rabbits as subjects The demonstration was given in the Edison building in that city and was attended by many well-known New England surgeons and physicists. Some of the rabbits were chloroform' ed, others electrocuted, and others given deadly doses of morphine. They were apparently dead, there being no evident heart action. She then re stored them to normal life, shocked them again until seemingly dead and again restored them. The only case In which the Rabin ovltch electrical treatment has been tried on a human being was in Paris, about a year ago. A woman, ad dicted to morphine, was pronounced dead. Twenty minutes after this pro nouncement she was treated In a Paris hospital with the electrodes and resuscitation followed. She Is said to be alive to-day. It is the dreadful probability that many condemned men are electrocut ed and then put under the knife for autopsies while life still exists in the body, although suspended, that has made Dr. Roblnovltch endeavor to have the present method of electrocu tion made more perfect. WARNING BY SCHURMAN. Cornell Head Urges Industrial Train ing In Schools. Utlca, N. Y. Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman, president of Cornell Uni versity, delivered an address on "In dustrial Education" at the State Coun cil of School Superintendents. He said that Germany does not fear America as a competitor because the Germans know that our industries do not rest on a scientific foundation. The secret, he said, was due to tbelr knowledge of the fact that In dustry rests on a knowledge of the sciences and arts and their applica tion to the various trades. Unless we do the same, he continued, and stop exhausting the natural resources, we will drop to a second or third rate power. We must put Industrial train ing into our schools. , WANT A CONGRE83WOMAN. Colorado Suffragettes Plan Big Fight for One of Their 8ex. Denver, Col.
