WOMEN AND PIGEON SHOOT1NC
1' i I llcH, Killing Perpetrated for tlio
bat in fuot Ion of "Sport."
We have been so accustomed to be-
lieve in tender sensibility to suffering
as a grace of womanhood that we have
found it difficult to give cr<dit t<> maay
facts recorded in ancient history, says
Our Animal Friends. It seems almost
incredible that the most eager specta-
tators of gladiatorial contests in the
ancient world were women; it is still
more difficult to believe that when the
wounded gladiator lay bleeding on the
sand of the arena and his merciful an-
face of it, live pigeon shooting is an
offense against that good law. The
time, we trust, is coming when the idle
man will not longer think of relieving
his ennui by going out "to kill some-
thing"; and we trust the time is not
far off when a woman who makes an
amusement of killing will be hissed
out of all decent society.

final blow, it was the wonpn present
who most frequently turned down their
thumbs in token of the death sentence.
Though, undoubtedly, these things are
true, it is barely possible to believe
them. In late years we have found it
easier. At any time within the past
ten years the influence of women
would have been sufficient to put an
end to the abominably cruel and ut-
terly senseless practice of docking
horses, but the influence of women has
sustained rather than reprehended that
particular form of cruelty. It is the
senseless vanity of woman and nothing
else, that has caused the ruthless
slaughter of millions upon millions of
beautiful and harmless birds in order
to provide adornment of a kind essen-
tially the same as those in which the
Indian squaw delights. Of all the piti-
less butcheries perpetrated for the sat-
isfaction of human vanity, the destruc-
tion of egrets at the very time of pair-
ing and with the certainty of starva-
tion to their hapless offspring, is per-
haps the worst, and this has been
maintained by women of the highest
station and the most cultivated intelli-
gence until those beautiful creatures
have been almost exterminated. Now,
it appears from newspaper reports that
women are seeking distinction in the
pl,7°on shoot; they enter the contest
with a zest equal to that of the male
competitors. We may confess with
some regret that women may be seen
riding behind teams of horses that
have been mutilated by docking. It
I may also be confessed that there are
women whose natural gift of beauty is
marred and not improved by wearing
the spoils of our slaughtered birds. Our
sympathies go out entirely to our cor-
respondents in their detestation of pig-
eon shooting as a form of "sport.
When human beings are thoroughly
civilized men will instinctively obey
the rule "never to mix their pleasure
or their pride with suffering to tht
meanest thin* tjiat lives." QnJ^he very
Tlio Troubles of Algeria.
Algeria has again been the subject of
dclmte tn the French chnmber ot depu-
ties. The Algerian question is not an
easy one to settle. The pure-"blooded
French population scarcely increases.
They are on had terms with the 4!i,ti00
Hebrews. There are 55,000 naturalized
foreigners, on whom the French look
askance, and 211.500 other foreigners
are also cold-shouldered. The three
elements are, however, united on two
subjects—hatred of the Hebrews and
dislike of the Arabs, who multiply
more rapidly than any other branch of
the population. They and the Kabyles
have in twenty years increased by
1,400,000, and now number about
4,000,000. While they increase, their
lands pass out of their hands. The
French proprietary laws do not suit
them, and one of their immediate re-
sults is to make them the prey of usu-
rers. The Hebrews being the chief
moneylenders, the Arabs unite with the
French and foreigners in hating them,
and do them an ill turn whenever they
can. Two million eight hundred thou-
' tand acrts have passed from the Arabs
into the possession of Hebrews and
Christians. Algeria is a fine country.
It ought to be not only self-supporting
but highly prosperous, but it remains a
burden to France. The cost of keeping

if u Disorderly Monlcey in
Fireman1* Suit.
Officer Sandman of the Seventh po-
lice district had the chase of his life
last night, when in pursuit of the mon-
key that escaped from a dog and pony
show then exhibiting on a lot on West
Walnut Hills. Sandman was leisurely
pedaling down Stanton avenue 011 hl3
wheel about 9 o'clock at night, when he
was attracted by a peculiar figuro
walking up the road before him. It
was a full-grown monkey dressed in
fire helmet, blue coat, brass buttons,
belt and pantaloons. The monk was
running along on all fours, and Sand-
man made a sprint to catch up. The
little animal's acute hearing informed
it that the officer was in pursuit, and
it ran for the nearest tree. Sandman
followed, and was lucky or unlucky
enough to grab it with a firm hold by
the tail. The monk simply change 1
hands on the bough, hanging on with
its hind feet, and grabbed Sandman's
hand in its mouth. The officer imme-
diately let go and did an Impromptu
two-step about the middle of the street,
accompanied by some first-class rag-
time swearing to the edification of a
crowd that collected. Numerous of-
fers of advice now began to pour in.
One gentleman with a fiery nose and a
breath suggestive of mixed ale stat-
ed that he had read that monkeys are
often allured into captivity with whis-
ky, and if the oflicer would furnish him
with a bottle of that stimulant and
the crowd would retire he would seat
himself under that tree and when the
monkey came down he would get the
beast jagged up and capture it. The
red-nosed man's suggestion was hooted
at. Finally the officer decided to climb
the tree and capture the monk. Lay-
ing his helmet on the curb, he shinned
up the tree, which was a small one,
and slowly crept out on the limb to-
ward the missing link. Suddenly he
rubbed his eyes Just as he was about
to reach forward and grasp the prize,
j "Where's that monkey?" yelled Sand-
man. "He's over in that other tree!"
yelled the crowd, highly delighted.
"You climbed the wrong tree!" shout-
ed a small boy. "Git down and climb
the next one!" The officer finally con-
cluded that if the monkey swung from
one tree to another with ease it was
useless to try to catch him. "There
isn't anything in the police manual
about playing in tree tops with mon-
keys. anyhow," explained Sandman to
the crowd; so he mounted his wheel
and rode away.

|jiut;hler as u Cure All.
It is an Italian doctor who special-
ly recommends laughter as a cure for
modern ills. The diseases inlluenced
by a hearty laugh are numerous, and
range from bronchitis to anaemia. It
will be interesting to see how the treat-
ment is effected. Our medical contem-
porary suggests that there Is a great
opening for professional gelotothera-
peutists the very name makes one
s.nllc -who should study various ways
of inducing laughter. A course of
tickling Is prescribed for bronchitis, for
example; a course of farcical comedies
might suit an anaemic patient; while
puns, fired at intervals, would be found
(incur ious in cases of pleurisy.—Chica-
