A STUDY OF MICE.
Writer Says They Have Keen sense

Writer Says They nave AeeiA Se'o

Pearsons Magazine.
Few people understand the mystery OF
mice. Think l can, without lmmooesty'
clai INTO understand mice, for nave
made them a study for many years.
used to think that nature supplied mice
wherever there seemed to be any call for
them. For example, if you live in a
house where there are no mice and In
rash moment provide yourself with
mouse trap or set up a cat, mice Will I'M
mediately make their appearance. 10
the superficial observer this looks as IL
nature, perceiving that you nave
mouse trap, proceeds to supply mice LOT
1t, or, noticing that you have cat, senos
mice enough to satisfy, the animal. But
this is not the true explanation. In Or
der to understand mice you must grasp
the fact thatthe mouse is an animal with
a keen sense of humor and a love OF eX-
element With this key in your possess
sion you can readily unlock the mystery
of mice.
That the mouse has a sence of humor
is conspicuously shown by the way In
which he will rattle a newspaper in your
bedroom at night. The mouse does not
eat newspapers, neither does he put
them to any domestic use. He merely
makes a noise with them, knowing that
of all sounds the midnight rustic of a
newspaper is the one which will most
successfully Danish sleep from your eyes.
If a mouse finds an eligible newspaper in
YOUR bedroom he will settle himself
down to a night Of fun and jollity. He
will rattle that newspaper till morning,
and the only effect Of throwing boots
boots at him or of getting up and lighting
the gas and searching for him with
poker will be that he will hide himself
till you lie down to sleep and then re-
sumo his little newspaper game. If this
does not show sense Of humor 1t would
be difficult to say what 1t does show.
Then there is the well known fact that
no sooner does mouse trap or a cat
enter a house than it Is followed by a
troop Of mice. Cats and traps draw
mice as the pie draws the magnet. The
mouse loves the game Of teasing the cat
by stimulating the latter's hopes of cap
turing him. 1t is considered the height
Of fun among mice to scuttle across
room l nthe presence Of a cat and to
disappear in a hole just as the cat is
ready to pounce. OF course, now and
then, a too reckless mouse pays the pen
atty Of rashness by being caught by the
cat, but accidents of this kind are more
rare among mice than football accidents
among men and in no way render mice
shy Of the game.

walks Of life in the city of ST. Paul who

from Mr.. s, J. Thompson, 511s East Sew

for several years with kidney trouble,
and during the last five months I was so
bad could scarcely attend to my work.
The pain in the small of my back was
continuous and at times very severe I
suffered with urinary disturbances of an
alarming nature. It caused a burning
sensation in passage and contained
brick dust sediment. I was very weak
and my general health was very bad.
Since I have taken Morrows Kid-ne-oids
the pain left me and has not returned.
My urine is natural and 1 am a great
deal stronger I will recommend Kid-ne-
oids to my friends and all others who
are suffering from kidney disease

Republican Plan Condemned by tho
Civil Service Commission.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ga long Of
fetal statement reviewing the legal
phases Of the political assessment ques-
ton and holding that the soliciting Of
campaign funds by letter comes clearly
within the remedial provisions Of the
civil service law, was made public by
the civil service commission tonight.
The commission made the statement BIZ
cause of circulars sent out by A F.
Burdell, as treasurer of the finance COM
mittee of the Ohio Republican state
executive committee, soliciting contribu-
lions from federal employees. The COM
mission says the Ohio circulars bring
up clearly the question SO long awaiting
judicial determination as to whether So
liciting of contributions for political pur-
poses by means Of letters addressed to
federal officers or employees at their Of
fees constitutes an offense under the
civil service act.
The commissions ruling or brief now
made public was submitted by President
Proctor Of the commission, to ex-senator
George r. Edmunds, of Vermont, who
was chairman Of the senate judiciary
committee at the time the civil service
act was passed. The latter in his opin-
ion, to which the commission gives par
ticular significance, says: ~s-7 s4ts
II entirely agree with the conclusions
stated in the brief. I think it Is clear
that the solicitation of such political
aids by means Of the postoffice Is dis
tinctly within the prohibition Of the act

CHINESE TELEGRAPHY.
why the Art Does Not Develop In
the Land of the PigtaiI.

the Land of the PigtaiI.
London Globe
AS the Chinese language is not alpha
bette, and as each word in it is repre-
sented by a special character, none Of the
telegraphic systems generally in use can
be employed in China. Usually each char
acter is represented by number, and 1t
is this number, which has never more
than four figures, that is transmitted.
To bring about this result a code of 40
pages has been established, each page
having 10 columns of 20 characters, 80
that $500 characters are disposed Of, all
the words commonly used are inserted
and few places are kept blank for new
ones.
When q dispatch Is to be sent an en-
ploye translates it into figures and at the
receiving station an inverse operation
puts it back into Chinese characters. Of
course this is rather long process, but
it is simply necessary to employ enough
persons, and in China the educated I'M
employed are numerous.
An obstacle in the way, of the develop
ment Of biography in China Is the par
TALLY which the people display for an
nexing the telegraph poles, which furnish
excelling firewood. The wires are found
useful for many purposes.
The authorities are slow to adopt re-
pressive measures, but when they DO act
they reach excellent results very quickly;
the excessive severity of the penal code
in China gives them an opportunity.
The following anecdote is tofd OF an
event In the envirous Of Shanghai: The
lines there were continually destroyed.
The taotai, who was in frequent relations
with the Europeans and. had become tired
of hearing their complaints, declared sim
ply that for each post pulled down head
should be cut off among those OF the In
habitants who lived in the vicinity.
AS DEGREES of this kind are executed
very literally in China the result was
that, in spite of the fatalisdc spirit OF the
Chinese and their Indifference to death,
the posts in that particular neighborhood
were afterward left severely alone
