Out In big apartment house on Co

married woman who Is as naive as the
bride in the comic weeklies. The house
keepers who live in the same house
with her have been somewhat annoyed
Of late by mice. The young woman
met one of them in the hall the other
day, and the conversation naturally
turned on their common pests.
"The mice have been so bad lately"
said the elder woman, "that keep ev-
erything locked up and all my eatables
in the boxes"
The younger woman's eyes sparkled
with eagerness.
"Myw she said. 81 wouldn't dare do
that. l wouldn't want to run such q

about every night when go to bed SO
that when the mice become hungry
they'll find something to eat and not

bite holes in my new tablecloths and
my nice centerpieces if 1 don't leave
the cheese right where they can find it
easily. 1 feel perfectly safe when I
know there's plenty for them to eat
right where they can get at it."

When the Puss Gets Her Back Up.

When the Puss Gets Her Back Up.
1t is not anger alone that makes cats
arch their backs. Indeed, when two
cats are preparing to fight they do not
assume this attitude, but crouch low,
just as they do when about to spring
on their prey, the body being extended
and the hair not in the least erect.
But when, on meeting a dog suddenly,
fear Is combined With anger then the
cat, standing at it's full height, at once
arches it's back, with an instructive eff
fort to appear as formidable as posi-
BILE.
Darwin compares it to the similar
attitude of the lynx when attacked and
to that of birds which ruffie their feath-
ers and spread out their wings and
tail when alarmed. 1t is noticeable
that a cat will also arch it's back when
in an effectionate frame of mind, rub
bling itself against it's masters leg. At
the same time it slightly raises it's fur
and holds it's tail erect. Its whole at
titude is just tie reverse of that which
it assumes when savage.
Darwin accounts for this in the fol-
lowing words: Certain states of mind
lead to certain habitual actions which
are of no service. Now, when a direct
ly opposite state of mind is induced,
there is strong and involuntary
tendency to the performance Of a move
ment of a directly opposite nature,
though it may be of no service"

Four years ago the Bryan orators
adorned every street corner in the
cities and every nook in the fields.
Squirting tobacco juice and settling
the financial question was the para
mount issue then. 1t was surprising
what wonderful amount of financial
intelligence the people possessed; but
how is it this year? Very little of
politics is mentioned whatever where
four years ago it was most rampant.
The street corners are deserted and
the farmers are busy outstanding the If
crops. This wonderful condition of
affairs is not an apathy-it is a con-
dition, not a theory. And it means
that there is something in the wide
spread revolt which is taking place
from Organism to Americanism. The
handwriting is that the Republican
ticket will be elected by larger vote
than four years ago

A note of warning needs to be
sounded about the Belgian hare,
which interested persons are boom
ing for the purpose of selling breed
ing stock. Most extraordinary state
ments are made regarding the mar
velous profits to be made from these
animals. IF the staten ents were one
hundredth part true the world would
be rolling in wealth now, all made
from Belgian hares, for this is not a
new animal; pair of them were pro-
badly in the ark with Noah, but if SO
that was another one of his mistakes,
for the world has been vainly trying
to get rid of them ever since, and
abusing Noah roundly for preserving
item. The value of the hare for
meat is grossly exaggerated, even
with the present supply, while if
much effort is made to increase the
supply they will have no value in
market The value of pelts is also
wiciedly lied about, for they have no
worth, not enough to pay cost of
shipment.-Ma all and Breeze.
