Naturalists say that when examined

be found that no creature or object In
nature is positively ugly, that there, y

disagreeable tasks in life, when viewed
in their proper proportions, reveal
poetic. an attractive side, hitherto un-
dreamed of. Turn on the sunlight Of
good cheer, the determination to sec

WILL EXAMINE ALL CATTLE.
Arrangements Whereby British Cattle Will Be
Allowed TO Enter United States.

Washington. April As Il result of
negotiations between Secretary OF \G-
riculturc Wilson and the Canadian
minister of agriculture. an agreement
has been reached between the two ad-
ministrations by which Canada is to
have a first-class veterinarian station
cd in England to test for tuberculosis
all British cattle shipped to this coun-
try via Canada.
The Canadian administration wanted
cattle to be admitted from Canada
without tests at the border by Amer
lean experts. The department at
WASHINGTON could not agree to this
Secretary Wilson said, however. that
If Canada would send to England an
agent who should have sufficient OK
pcrt KNOWLEDGE on the subject the
United States would admit cattle upon
his certificate that the cattle had been
tested and found free from tubercu-
,osis. This was agreed to by the Cana
dian minister.
1t is officially explained that about 10
per cent. of live stock in the United
States and about 40 per cent. in Great
Tritain have tuberculosis. The cattle
on the continent of Europe are SO dis
ea sod that this government will not
rermit the admission of any animals
from there.

to the district attorneys office, in tour

to this story hotels, concert halls and
gardens and theatres had been visited
by the prisoner On this pcint Lawyer
Patrick said:
Il have known that this kind of
thing has been going on for several
weeks. l could not have sworn that
such was the case. but | have heard
from various sources that Jones was
plentifully supplied with money, WIS
taken out buggy riding and was other
wise treated with great kindness and
consideration
Patrick then went on to speak of the
Rice murder case. This is the first
time that he has made any statement

Jones never killed ". NJ. Rice. Had
he done so he never would have tcsti-
fed to it. especially a.s the district at
torney has promised him no immunity
fnor would his counsel. even though
provided by Capt. Baker. have permit
ted him to do so. His confidence is due
to the fact that il is an established
fact that w. NJ. Rice at the age of 81
died of heart failure. as did his brother
f. \. Rice. yesterday, at the age of Il
and there will never be any proc!
otherwise.
The only crime of which Jones /
guilty is that of conspirinS against the

present proceedings. His fairy story

THE authority Of the crown must be

That he believed himself under divine

this will ultimately lead him to plunge
Germany and perhaps the rest of Eu-
