Tailiess Cats.

Conditions other tllan those OF
mere breeding seem to have much
influence on the development OF
physical character in cats. In one
authenticated case a tabby which
haG lost her tail by having that ap-
pcnGagc run over gave birth in her
next litter to three stump tailed kit
tens out Of seven. The ManX cat IS
not the only taiIless variety. In the
Crimea is found another kind Of cat
which has 10 tail. The domcstl-
Gated Malay cat has tail that IS
only about onc-halt the usual length,
and very often it is tied hy nature
in sort Of knot which cannot be
straightened out.

SECRETARY ROOT.
Most Forceful Man in the Cabinet,
Tribute of Senator.

l.. \. Coolidge IN Alns!ees
He is no less force under President
Roosevelt, who turned to him for cOun-
sci the moment he was sworn into Office.
1t is hard to speak of the record Secre-
tary Root has made in Washington in
terms which will not seem to be full
some panegyric. He has labored so
modestly and so increasingly; he has
subordinated his own popularity to such
an extent; he has paid so little regard
to popular reputation and newspaper
notoriety that very few people except
those who have been intimately associ-
ated with him or who from their posi-
tion in public life have had occasion to
know what he has done begin to real
iZe the extraordinary success of his ad-
mnistration, or to comprehend the
height and breadth Of his accomplish
ment. Let one speak who has been in
a position to judge and who is not of IL
temperament to be swept away by per-
sonal enthusiasm or meretricious repu-
tation. a United States senator, one of
the oldest and wsest of the body to
which he belongs-one who is at the
head of an important committee having
in charge insular affairs with which the
war department has most to do, and
who has thus come closely In contact
with Secretary Root during the past
three years-has this to say about him..
'1here has been no man at the head
OF the war department since the. days
of Edwin M. Stanton who has been Mr.
Roots equal. He has all of Stanton's
firmness and force; all his patriotisrn,'
perseverance and courage, and, in adj
dition, he has tact and persuasive
ness which Stanton altogether lacked.
With Stanton the iron hand was always
In evidence. He was secretary OF war
during the time of great national stress,
and for years he ruled the war depart.
ment and the army with military sever
ity. His attitude of mind was always
in opposition to the private citizen
wherever the private citizen came In
contact with the government. He acted
quietly, impulsiyely; frequently with in
justice. He was Il great lawyer, but
there were times when he overrode all
law.
Root is just as strong and firm a
character as Stanton was. He is as un-
swerving and as uuiilnchinS as his
predecessor. Ae Is actuated by motives
