GOVERNMENT KEEPS CATS.
How an Ingenious Iowa Man Propos ed
to Save 1t Money.

How an Ingenious Iowa Man Propos ed
to Save It Money.
The postofice department is in re-
ceipt of a unique communication from
G.. L. Fox Of West Liberty, Iowa. Mr..
Fox appears to be of an ingenious turn
of mind and patriotic disposition, and
he noticed with grief that the govern
ment appropriates IS annually for the
support Of the ST. Paul postofice cat.
He writes that he has been experiment.
ing for several years with prepara-
tion for the sure cure of rats, and has
now perfected it. Believing that the
department might save money by
adopting his preparation, and cutting
of the supplies from the postoff1ce cats,
he offers it to the department for the
small sum of $3.50. The money is not
to be paid until the stuff is given fair
trial. The St. Paul Office is not the
only one which receives an annual ap-
preparation for it's cat. The New York
cat receives The stipend of SO annually,
and should be comparatively we'll off,
But as there are some twenty-five sta
tions and thirty substations where as
sistants must be kept, the New York
cat is no better off than his Omaha sis
ter, who is allowed $3.50 per annum.
The Richmond (Va.) cat, which is re-
ported to be of the F. F. VS.. gets 81.
Nearly all of the postoffices in the
country have attached to them office
cats. For most of them small items
are included in the miscellaneous list.
Those who are not so provided must
depend upon the supply of rats for
living, eked out by the tips from the
lunch baskets of the clerks and car
riers. In this letter Mr.. Fox does not
say what would become of these feline
employees of the government if his cure
should be adopted, but it is probable
that poor Tom and Tabby, their occu-
patton gone, would be compelled to
forsake their former homes in the post
offices and seek a precarious living on
the wharves, in the warehouses, or ele-
vators, or anywhere that rats are
plentiful. Post.

Forests Whitfield AWAY.

A notable example of a big result
produced by small means is found in
the fact that lead-pencil users have
Whitfield away several big forests of
cedar trees in Europe and the supply
OF wood suitable for lead pencils is
practically exhausted in the old world.
An order has just been placed by a
noted German firm of pencil makers
with a California lumber company for
large quantity of sequoia WOOD, which
is found to be the best wood now avail
able for pencils. The sequoia is the
big tree of California. It seems too
bad that the grand old giants should be
sacrificed,and especially that their end
should be lead-pencil shavings.

THE GOLD LAY IN SHINING HEAPS
told about was a great disappointment
to them both.
Old Jonas had spent years in the
West seeking a fortune, and always

was a great disappointment.
& Bob, however, was more regretful OF
their failure this time on old Jonas &C.

Two or three months before he had
been very sick, and old Jonas, SEEING
that he had no friends near, took care
of him as father would, and nursed
him back to health again.
: From that time Bob had loved the
..old man, and had been anxious at Ill
times to do something to repay his
kindness.
, He knew how much Jonas wanted tc
return to his wife and children, and
when old Washita, who came to them
sick and dying, and was taken in and

1T does look leetle that way, fer a
fact" Jonas agreed. ITO my mind the
chances air that the blamed Injun was
lynn all the time when he told bout so
much gold"
Then you've about concluded that
we are on a wild goose chaser
Yes, jest about. You see, Bob, Old

on this here slope, 'twixt the foot O. the

You know the old man was dying, and
we had taken him in and cared for him,
and I can't believe that he would hatch
up lie under such circumstances just
to get us to make a chase like this
1T don't look like he would, shore
enough" Jonas admitted, scratching
his head perplexedly. But what
puzzles me is this, Bob. If thars any
gold here like that old Injun told bout
Whar is it? That's the question I'd like
to have answered, if you please.
It's a question can't answer sure"
Bob said, with shake of his head.
Still, I think Old Washita was honest
and that the gold is somewhere in this
vicinity"
Il wish to gracious knowed whar
bouts in this vicinity" old Jonas said
with sigh. i've counted lots on
findin' that gold, an figgered out
how how I'd go back East to
my wife an children an make a nice

sadly; but it we can't find the gold we

WHAT THEY THINK.

The meeting of the Republican league
clubs at Salt Lake Tuesday did not re-
suit in producing much more harmony in
the party in this part of the territory than
has prevailed heretofore. The kind OF
harmony that has prevailed here among
Republicans lately has been of the shot
gun character. One side has agreed with
the fellows with the gun because they
We're afraid it was loaded.
Some say that GlaSSman was billed as
a delegate, and that the chaps who do not
ike him ventured to urv1t his plans and
FISK broadsde from his blunderbuS.
Yesterday the factions were comparing
notes. The combine crowd did not have
much to say, but that they do rot pro-
pose to allow this show of opposition to
grow and flourish is very evident.
The other fellows think that it is pos
slble for them TO muster up sufficient
force TO at least compel the combine to
recognize them in the future.
1t is also limited that the election of
delegates at Salt Lake Wednesday is Il

SO favorable to Charles Cranes aspira-
tlons because people who are known to
be very much opposed to him ran so we'll
and his known friends fell by the wayside,
and while this is no test some think that
later on Charles will find that he has

l. O. B. B. REUNION.
Enjoyable Affair at the Jewish SYM
agOgue Last Night.

/ The |. o. B. 3. reunion at the Jewish
synagogue last evening furnished genu-
inc musical and literary treat to the
small audience that was able to resist
the attractions of the meeting of the sill
yer convention.
Mr.. H. S. Krouse played in brilliant
style the Hungarian Rhapsody" by
Burgmein, his own Gallop de Concert and
a melody by Solomon. Miss Geneva Jen-
ming was warmly greeted by the audience
and was encored after singing Little
Signor,'' from THE Huguenots," and re-
sponded with la Serenata," by Tosti.
Mr.. John Robinson also charmed the au-
dience by his rendition of The Storm
Fiend."
The reunion was in honor of Hon. D. S
Hirschherg, of Oakland. Cal, past grand
president of California and grand repre-
sentative of District No. 4, to the con-
stitutional grand lodge of B'nai Bariths,
which held convention recently in Gin
cinnati. The gentleman is returning from
the convention to his home and spent
day in this city en- route.
His lecture last evening was a mastery
effort, scholarly, yet forceful. and aroused
much enthusiasm in his audience. He
was introduced by Mr.. Louis Hyams, who,
with President NJ. j. Friedman and Mr..
Jacob Moritz, occupied seats on the plat
form.
Mr.. E1irschberg dwelt upon the object,
aims and work of the Independent Order
OF B'nai Barith- The organization was

members Of what should be in truth a
brotherhood. yet an insepaable part of

which the Jews of this city worship is a
beautiful structure, but he had under
stood that the attendance upon services
is small and that the congregations share
in the services is not characterized by
earnestness and spontaneity. Why? The
self-respect OF a Jew. as well as his de-
votion to his religion, is the criterion by
which his gentle neighbors judge him.
He congratulated his hearers upon the
fact that they stand upon the threshold of

would prove that they are patriotic in the

protest against the tyranny of foreign
powers. Care of the sick and poor is an
other aim of the order. At Cleveland.
Yonkers, New Orleans, Atlanta, San
Francisco and other cities there are be-
nevolent institutions that prove that
charity is one of the most marked char
acteristics of the Bnai Bariths.
There is a membership of $4,000 of the
order in the United States. There should
be double that number. Salt Lake has
seventeen members. She should be
ashamed of having less than seventy-tive.
The speaker paid an eloquent tribute to
the memory of PeiXotto, in whose honor
the Salt Lake lodge is named
I am in favor of admitting women to
membership in our lodge" he said ''In
fact am in favor of suffrage for women.
Aren't they as good as men? Aren't
they better? A Jewish woman is quite as
capable of casting a vote as is an ignor-
ant foreigner or an illiterate negro"
In conclusion he urged his hearers to be
public spirited, to refute the charge of
lack of patriotism by taking a lively
interest. not necessarily in the petty mat
tiers of ward politics. but in state and
national affairs. From the position of
serfs in other lands our race has come to
fill that of sovereigns in this" he said
Let due gratitude be shown"
He concluded by reading an extract
from a report by julius Bien, president of
the order. and eulogizing his work.
