TORTOISE is A MoUsER.

Novel Pet of q Philadelphia Womap
Catches Mice.
"A Philadelphia woman who dislikes
both cats and mice has discovered
novel substitute for one as an exter-
mlnator Of the other This substitute
is nothing more nor less than an ordi-
nary land tortoise.
Ever since last summer, when the
tortoise was added to the family circle
by the woman's youngest son, aged 8,
she has noticed that the mice, with
which the house had previously been
,overrun, were gradually disappearing.
1t was not until the other day, how
ever, that she discovered the cause.
She was sitting very quietly with some
fancy work, and the tortoise, which
has the liberty of the house, was ap-
parently asleep in corner Presently
little mouse made its appearance,
and the tortoise opened it's beady eyes.
Round and round ran the mouse, get
ting nearer and nearer the tortoise as
though fascinated. Finally it was with
In striking distance. The tortoise
darted out its head, there was a snap
of the jaws, tiny little squeak, and
the mouse was dead.
Then the tortoise calmly and DELHI
erately set to work, says the Philadel-
phia Record, to eat it's victim.

ELECTION OF SENATORS.
Growing Sentiment In Support of
the Democratic Demand.

the Democratic Demand.
The plan of compelling the senate to
act upon the question of popular cleo
ton of senators by having two-thirds
of the state legislatures pass resOlu-
tons to that effect is making steady
progress. According to the New York
Journal, Senator Gebhardt has intro
duced the following resolutions in the
senate of New Jersey:
Be 1t resolved by the senate of the state
Of New Jersey, the general assembly con-
curing herein, that the one hundred
and twenty-siXth legislature of the state
of New Jersey hereby makes application
TO the congress, under the provisions OF
article of the constitution of the United
States. for the calling Of convention to
propose an amendment to the constitution
of the United States making the United
States senators elective in the several
states by the direct vote of the people.
And be it resolved that the secretary of
state Is hereby directed to transmit copies
OF this application to the senate and house
of representatives of the congress and
also copies to the members of the said
senate and house of representatives from
this state; also to transmit copies hereof
to the presiding officers Of each of the
legislatures now in session in the several
states requesting their cooperation.
This is the sort of thing that counts.
If thirty states take action in this form
land thirty-two have already put them
selves on record in favor Of the princi-
ple), the senate will no longer be able
to obstruct the popular will.
Indeed, it will not be necessary to
wait for the whole thirty. The mere
knowledge that such a movement is
going on, with near prospects of sue
cess, will make the senate come down.
There is nothing the powers at Wash
ington would not do to prevent the as
sembling of constitutional conven-
ton, for such convention would not
be likely to stop with anything so mild
as the election Of senators by the peO.
pie.
Indeed, what has been done already
has stirred up both ends of the national
capitol. If the states whose legisla-
lures are now in session should pass
resolutions like those introduced by
Senator Gebhardt in New Jersey, 1t
would not be surprising to see the SEN
ate forestall any more dangerous pro-
ceedings Of the sort by sending to the
states constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the popular election of SEN
atOrs.
