WOULDN’T SHAKE THAT PUP
Sc.rab&y-L®oMng Dog Meant to Fol-
low Ms Master to France—or
Elsewhere—if Necessary.
A draft contingent was marching
ifeira a Chicago street toward the rail-
way station. Good-bys had been said;
.ifczoe had been left behind. An un-
.teenra future lay ahead.
But home ties had not altogether
bean broken. There was one, at
Taeast, willing to share the fate of those
departing. He was a very scrubby-
feoMng little tiog. Evidently he didn't
jjgTcpose to be left behind to keep the
Heme fires burning, for he clung to the
"Steels of his master like a burr.
“Go back, Rags!” commanded the
Better. ‘•‘Go hade, I say.”
But Rags was obdurate. Even an
^operative stamp of the 1’Oot failed to
saSsconrage him. Rags’ intentions were
©July f«0‘ evident.
Finally one of the selects come to
M s def e sss-.
“Aw, let's fake him along, Bill,” he
ssiiiL “Tlie pup’ll be good company,
38mS maybe they can use him to catch
irsi'Ss m the trenches.”
The contingent disappeared around
a corner. The scrubby dog was still
•sifeging to Ms master’s heels.
In Sheol.
Satan banked the furnaces of ever-
Msting torment, saw to it that there
wm plenty of red-ash' brimstone on

teaogjiBaratffihg went down to less than
in the shade to turn on the

at a conference he had called on the
bc-fiks >of the Styx.
Mml call showed that Lucifer,
Ahfflaga, UfcliaJ,.. Samuel, Beelzebub,
j!5&e£ S&esfim, Mephfstopeles', Asmocle-

“Nmv. gents,” said tlie original heat
ashaasastmtor, “we have come to con-
fer rDu the matter of punishment for
Bill Hohenzollern and his six
t&Cifisag and healthy sons who have
been abominating the earth. What
&haTi -we do to ’em?”
“fi&s billion years in the heated here-
after without their medals,” they
shmzted, as with one voice. Whereat

San Antonio, Tex.—Steps toward
closer co-operation among all officials
connected with the operation of the
draft law in Texas were taken, at a
conference which Major John C.
Townes, supervisor of the law for this
state, held Friday with representatives
of the district boards, local boards,
medical advisory boards, legal advis-
ory boards of the fifth district and
the state council of defense. Major
Townes announced that class No. 1 of
the 1917 draft will have been exhaust-
ed by the end of this month and that
to make more men available it will be
necessary to reconsider questionaries
with the view of making reclassifica-
tions where there had been mistakes
in the original classifications. In a
comprehensive review of the situation
Major Townes said that, while it had
heretofore been easy to operate the
draft law, it would be difficult here-
after. Individual cases, he said, would
now have to be scrutinized with great
care, so that justice might be done
the registrants as well as the govern-
ment. Admitting that many mistakes
had been made, he urged the officials
to co-operate with each other closely
as a means of gaining the maximum
efficiency from the draft machinery.
“Men who have been hastily or
thoughtlessly placed in class 3, class 4
,or class 2 may have to he taken there-
from and placed in class 1. At the
same time care must be exercised not
to place in class 1 men who should not
be there, men who have dependents,
men physically unfit, men who are
more valuable in other lines of activ-
ity.”
Major Townes said that it devolved
upon Texas to do its part in keeping
up the movement of troops to training
camps in the United States at the rate
of 100,000 a month, so as to balance
the outflow of trained troops in France.
He indicated that a change of ruling
was imminent affecting married men
without children whose wives were
able to support themselves with their
own labor, and that such men would
be placed in class 1 under the antici-
pated ruling.
Careful rechecking of the lists of
men exempted on account of depend-
ents, with the view of determining
whether , there had been any vital
change in their status, careful consid-
eration of the question of essential and
uionqssentiai industries and of wheth-
er the individual is essential to the in-
dustry in which he is engaged, and
careful distinction between desertion
and delinquency, to insure the proper
functioning of the military and civil
courts, respectively, were urged by
Major Townes.

DRAFT RESISTERS HAVE
BEEN TAKEN BY RANGERS
They Are Charged With Killing Rang-
er White and Resisting the
Draft Order.
Austin, Tex.—Ranger Captain Aid-
rich, who participated in the hunt and
capture of alleged draft resisters in
San Augustine County, arrived in Aus-
tin Thursday and reported to Adjutant
General Harley that the entire band,
with the exception probably of a few
sympathizers, had been rounded up,
and that no further disorder was an-
ticipated. The three deserters and the
other principal members of the band
were taken without the firing of a
shot. The mother of two of the desert-
ers was responsible to a large extent
in the surrender of the men, she hav-
ing gone to the woods in which they
had taken refuge and appealed to them
to give up, that it was only a question
of time that they would be captured,
and in all likelihood some of them
would be killed, as a large posse ol
armed was in close pursuit oi
them.
Beaumont, Tex.—Accompanied by
rangers and United States officers,
three San Augustine draft evaders and
seven sympathizers were brought tc
Beaumont Tuesday and placed in the
county jail.
Coatless and bearing marks of sev-
eral trying days spent in the fastness
of the “Big Thicket,” Clay Williams,
Sam Williams, Jr., and Dave Evans,
who are charged with the killing of
Ranger White and the wounding ol
Ranger Rowe, attracted much atten-
tion as they were placed in automo-
biles at the Santa Fe station at Beau-
mont and carried to jail.
Tall and gaunt and wearing broad
sombreros over their long, matted
hair, the young men who fought so des-.
perately with the ranger forces were
thoroughly cowed when taken to jail.
Executed for Treason.
Paris.—M. Duval, director of the
Germanophile newspaper Bonnett
Rouge, was executed Wednesday for
treasonable actions against the gov-
ernment. The execution was carried
out in the forest of Vincennes. Thc-
condemned man died almost instan-
taneously with the command to fire.
The execution of M. Duval is the sec-
ond growing out of the German propc
ganda of “Boloism” or “defeatism”
France.

Save the Babies
V NFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that
| of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent.,
A or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven
per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before
they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save
many of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many
of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations.
Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain
more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities,
deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead
to congestions, sickness, death. There can be no danger in the use of Cas-
toria if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher
as it contains no opiates or narcotics of any kind.
Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of
