CATS DISRUPTED THE ZOO
Released to Clean Up Despised Rats,
They Terrorized Lions, Leopards
and Tiners Alike.
An army of cats, .timed loose In Iho
zoo at Highland park, Pittsburgh. Pa.,
to clean out the rats, has shown the
fallacy of tunny tales of ferocity told
of wild denizens of the Jungle.
Knts hnd become so numerous at the
big zoo that It was found necessary to
take some means of ridding the build
ing of the pests, and the head keeper
decided on cats just the plain alley
breed. An advertisement brought
them In 'droves, and they were turned
loose In the cages, cellars, supply
rooms and lofts.
No' sooner had the cages been Invad
ed than pandemonium broke loose.
Lions, tigers, panthers, pumas and
leopnrds failed to recognize n distant
relationship, and ninny of them went
clear frnntlc with fear. Other ani
mals Including the elephants, were not
so timorous, hut hippo and rhino were
only a few seconds In making up their
minds that discretion wus the belter
purt of valor.

to give him a thrashing that would

but that would linger long In the man's
memory as one of the noteworthy
events of his life.
It was ten years before Champ

creating n red-letter day for his for

Years ago Representative Johnson
was a police reporter on a Washing

decided to buy a elaw-liaiiinier suit.
Johnson had a room-mate, Smith, who
also had spike-tail ambitions. He
forthwith had an Inspiration. He pro
posed that they go llfty-llfty on cost
and wear. Johnson agreed.
Johnson had made tin; acquaintance
of Mrs. Stewart, wife of the senator
from Nevada. She had a big. formal
reception anil asked Johnson's city ed
itor to scud him to write it up.
Thus It befell that Johnson got a

"Legal Right to Remain in Ignorance"
Till: legal right to remain in ig
norance Is annually granted to
thousands of children in states where
child labor and education laws are
backward, is the Inforniation furnished
by tin- children's bureau of the depart
ment of Ithor.
According to an account of the ad
ministration of the federal child labor
law soon to lie published by the bu
reau, only 7S.'t children out of UM'ibd
to whom working certificates were Is
sued, or less than l per cent, had at
tended or completed the eighth grade,
though completion of the eighth grade
Is generally regarded as necessary to
secure even the rudiments of an edu
cation, the bulletin says.
Only one of these live slates has a
compulsory law for children up to six
teen, even when unemployed, and that
law penults many exemptions.
In a recent study of school altend
ancc In Cleveland It was found that
UTifiO children were so Irregular In
ilielr attendance at school as to In
nrfere wit Ii their studies, and thnt
the reasons for staying out of school
were In ninny cases trivial
fn addition to lax school attendance
laws, three of the live states permit
children sixteen years old and young

mid or write or never have been to
come familiar with a large part of
the best literature of the world.
The course usually requires three
years. Uach member must notify the
Washington bureau when the hook Is
begun and when It Is tlnished, Includ

acters and the reader's Impressions.
It must not he understood that the
bureau of education furnishes the
hooks to be read; It simply furnishes
courses of reading and encourages the
co-operation of the state superintend

the directors of the extension division
of state universities. Nine states are
n trendy nctlvely co-operating In tills
work and Include Indiana, Iown, Ken

This reading circle embodies liter

It had been a long watt, hut. at last,
hlr. time had come. He k.iocked at the
door, and even then clenched his
lists, ready to begin the exercises.
Hut there was a hitch In the pro
cram. Ten yt-nrs had dealt harshly
with Champ Clark's former employer.
His wife and children had died, and
he lay III. lie was all alone when
Champ entered the house, and there
were signs of poverty and distress

Johnson also won- a new and costly
pair of patent leather shoes. He was
In an optimistic mood when he bought
them and believed that he could be
comfortable in a slightly smaller
sized shoe than nature hud In mind
for lilin when his feet were designed.
A sad-eyed butler let him Into the
Stewart mansion. Mrs. Stewart canio
forward with much cordiality to greet
him. He stepped toward her. but his
shoes were not the antiskid kind und
they did not assimilate wit if the lloor.
The Hour started to rear up and strike
the defenseless Johnson and he
clutched at a support which chanced
to be a massive and high-priced vaso

huge palm. This was surrounded by
smaller palms and ferns and llouers.
AH went down with Johnson. Kvery
thlng was a total loss. Including his
dress suit, which split with a sort of
low wall.
All was a blank to Johnson after
that until lie found himself In t lie
street.
That was -o years ago, but to this
day Johnson grows pale and nervous
when, he thinks of it.
Anyway. "Own your own luilf-after-six
