AMONG the humane acts of the
Human Society Of Minneapolis as re-
corded in the Journal, is the killing of
crippled dog and tramp blind cat.
The 'cat act'' is honored by proni-
nent display head in the Journal which
shows the feline sympathy of that
excellent paper. But how about the
poor crippled dog? He did not get a
fair deal in the obituary Perhaps he
may be classified under the ''some-
thing equally as good" department.

of the kind. The temper of the peas

be impossible.

WASHINGTON.

There is some wonder among the
Minnesota men as to why so few ap'
pointments have been coming their
way. l have been asked why, but ii
is not for layman to say. The office
seekers themselves may know, and
the delegation ought to know. But
then it should be remembered that
other states which were also true to
the Republican cause have been
obliged to wait. In these instances
it is said that the delay is for the dele
cation to agree upon their offices and
candidates. Another reason for delay
in appointments is said to be that the
president has not yet been able to
parcel out the offices among the several
states as yet.

her mouth which decided him to wait until
a more auspicious occasion. So he merely

of perturbation.

she know about law? By Jove, she came in

There is probably no place on earth

Every afternoon from 5 to o'clock ev-

queerest thing about driving in Mexico,
however, says Modern Mexico, is that
every afternoon of the year everybody

over the very same route. No one thinks
