About Animal

A recent writer tells this story Of a
weasel: ''Two friends were out in
CharmwoOd forest, LeicesterShire, and
while one of them went to exam
inc some object of interest at dis
lance the other lay down upon the
grass to rest. This gentleman, it
seems, had a sardine sandwich or two
in his coat pocket, and presently he
felt something evidently trying to force
an entrance. He put out his hand
quickly and found he had a weasel in
his grasp. He threw the animal to
some distance from him and lay down
again. Within few minutes the
weasel was again struggling at his
pocket and not until he had repeatedly
driven it away did the determined
creature relinquish it's designs upon
the lunch.
Weasels are not slow to resent an in
jury. On one occasion a man who
sought to kill one with stick was at
tackled by colony of from fifteen to
twenty, which rushed from beneath a
rock on hearing the Cry of their friend.
The Infatuated creatures sprang upon
him, rending his hands with their
sharp teeth and attempting to reach his
throat. He was so fatigued with fight
ing them and from the blood he had
lost that but for the timely appearance
of another person, who routed the an
tagonists, the poor fellow would GER
tainly have uccumbod.--Chic

New Facilities

for reaching the Pacific coast. Low
rates, improved train service and I'M
precedented travel to California and
Oregon. The service this winter to be
better than ever. Special attention is
being given to tourist sleeping car par
ties
The trans-continental lines have
been making extensive efforts lately to
improve their service to and from the
Pacific coast, the latest development
announced being that the personally
conducted feature of the Chicago &
North western and Union-Pacifc SER
vice is to be extended to include per-
sonally conducted excursions to the
coast twice week from Chicago via
Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake City, in
addition to the three week now oper-
ated to the coast via Omaha and Chey-
enne. This gives the tourist a chance
to enjoy the most beautiful scenery
that Colorado affords, the route being
through Colorado Springs, past Pixies
Peak and via the Royal George, Glen
wood Springs and Salt Lake City.
This, with the two tours a week via
Cheyenne and Ogden to Sacramento
San Francisco and Los Angeles and
one week to Portland, makes five per-
sonally conducted excursions per week
from Chicago to California, Oregon and
Washington.
This personally conducted feature
has expanded wonderfully in the last
few years. The service has steadily
improved, so that Pullman tourist
sleeping cars have all the conveniences
of the standard sleeper and are partic-
ularly we'll adapted to the use of fam
lily parties and those who desire econo-
my in travel With the low rates now
in effect to the Coast, this branch of
the service promises TO be very popular
indeed; and will doubtless enable thou
sands to visit the coast who otherwise
would have been unable to go. These
thousands will include large percent
age of people who hope to find on the
sunny slopes of the Pacific place
where life's hard struggle may be made
easier and where a competence may be
gained with a small investment in
fruit raising or some similar occupa-
tion to which class is added the in
valid who finds in the far west the dry
and balmy air and sunshiny days that
bring health and strength that the
East failed to provide.

Favors Cremation.

The supreme court has given final
decision in favor of cremation, order
ing that the ashes of cremated per-
sons are entitled to christian burial in
public cemeteries, whether they be
controlled by religious sects or not
Both the Catholic and Lutheran
churches fought for years against the
admission of ashes. They wouldn't
permit them even to be deposited in
private vaults By the decision the
church authorities are ordered to pay
the cost of the entire. proceedings
amounting to nearly 10000 marks.
They even have to pay the lawyers en-
gagged on the winning side.-Chicago

Gov. LaFollette's speech was an
suspicious and effective opening OF
the Republican campaign. None-not
even his opponents can deny that it
was a masterful effort from beginning
to end. It betokened a careful and
profound study of the various subjects
dealt with and was logical, argumen-
tative and eloquent setting forth OF
these questions. Compared with the
insincere, specious and time-serving
appeals of his opponent to the elect
crate, to say nothing of the latters
mud-throwing, you note the difference
in the deliverance of the statesman
and the demagogue. That the gov
ernor's tour throughout the state and
the speeches he is delivering will have
a powerful effect on the campaign
there can be no doubt whatever. That
it will henceforth be the duty of Re-
publicans to "fall in" and make victory
certain should be apparent to all.
