RATS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
A Matter That Interests More People
Than Do Many Subjects of
National Importance.

Since the report became current that
the white house was oyerrun with rats
there has been large increase in mail
for the executive mansion. AS judged
by~this index of public sentiment, Sec
rotary Cortelyou says that the people
of the country are a great deal more
interested in the white house rats than
they are in the repeal Of the war tax
the purchase of the Danish West In
dies, the reciprocity treaties or the
visit of Prince Henry. To one letter
that has been received regarding any
one of these four questions, says
Washington report, there have been
ten given up entirely to the subject OF
rats. Letters have been received from
the presidents Of national banks as
well as professional rat catchers VINO
desire to free the white house OF the
pests in return for generous since OF
the contingent fund. At first Mr.. Cor
telyou and the assistant secretaries
thought the rat correspondence very
FUNNY. but when they had opened over
a thousand letters about rats they be-
gan to see the serious side of the sub
ject. Everybody in the white house
now. from the president to the door
tenders, becomes ill-tempered when
rats are mentioned. tbs said one Iowa
congressman who tried to "josh" the
president about rats while Mr.. Roose-
welt was considering the appointment
of one of the Iowan's constituents not
only received a short reply from the
chief executive, but failed to get the APP

INSANITY RIFE IN SIBERIA.
Startling Revelations Regarding Ex-
listing Conditions by an Emil
nent Specialist.

DR.. Briantsoff, an eminent special
list in brain affections, has published
some startling details regarding the
high proportion of insane persons in
Siberia. On this side of the Cral
mountains one person in every 500
is weak in mind, in Siberia one in
1924, says a recent report from St.
Petersburg.
"To Siberia" he says, ARE sent
the high criminal elements OF Rus
sian society, the depraved, the alb
normal. Besides, drunkennesS IS
fearfully prevalent. In the province
of Tomsk, with an area OF 100000
square miles and population OF
100000, there is accommodation for
only eighty insane persons, and such
accommodation in other districts is
no better"
DR.. Briantsoff has visited such es-
Adjustments as exist, and says they
remind him of some terrible passages
in Dante's Inferno" There is no
proper sanitation, and the patients
often suffer from hunger and extreme
cold. Medical attendance there is
none, and when the patients are I'M

INTERNATIONAL AmlTY.
Reasons for lis Existence Between the
United States, Germany and England.

Chicago Chronicle.
There are the strongest reasons invOlv'
ing race, language, religion, character and
civilization why the peoples OF Germany,
of Great Britain and of the United States
should understand each other. They live
under very different forms Of government
and it is not to be supposed, no matter
how cordial the outward relations between
these Governments may he, that as le'
representatives. of varying and in some re-
spectst hostile views and institutions their
ministers and agents will always he cor
dial, but if the people themselves are well
informed no great mischief can come OF
such differences.
Between the peoples of the United
States and Great Britain there are ties
which cannot be lightly set aside, but they
aye not closer than those which should
exist between the peoples of the United
States and Germany. Men temporarily
in power in either country may at times
provoke wrath in all, their own as well as
in the others, but respect and good feeling
and above all, an intimate knowledge and
appreciation of each other by the various
peoples themselves, should make it i'm
possible for designing men to create
trouble.
Before the days Of the universal print
ing press and the electric telegraph, be-
fore railroads and steamships oblterated
boundaries and spanned seas, it was pos
sibe for kings and other rulers to set
people against people through ignorante
and prejudice. There can be no excuse
for such conditions in these times. If the
newspapers of Germany have made the
discovery rather late in this ere of civillza-
ton that there are friends of Germany on
this side of the water who are worth
rutivating, worth studying and worth I'M
Outstanding, it is probable that they will
not discontinue their news service in
America when Henry's trip shall have
come to an end and been forgotten in the
press of much more important matters.

FLANNEL SUIT ON A HEN.
Lost All Her Feathers In Colo
weather and Was Provided
with Novel Covering.

An old hen belonging to Mrs. M. A.
Stormont began laying late in the
fall, and was so persistent that she
laid 20 eggs before she concluded to
stop. During all this time she had
neglected her moulting, and when she
finally got ready to shed her feathers
it was in the middle of winter but
the old ones had lost their life and
were dry and harsh, consequently
there was no other way but to make
the change. In a short time she was
almost bare and suffering from the
cold, relates the Kirkwoo1 Qll)
Leader.
The Misses Stormont, seeing her
predicament and approaching the
value of her service rendered, deter
mined to come to her rescue. They
accordingly took the old hen into the
house, took her measurements, made
her a suit of fannels to fit, and then
released her Her ladyship took the
matter very philosophically, and
hustled off to her companions, appar-
entity very comfortable in her. new

John PETER AlT6ELD.

The sudden death of John P.,lAltgeld,
at Joliet, Illinois. on the morning of the
18th inst, was as tragic as Lie life had
been eventful.
He was remarkable man, full ofenergy
and possessing strong intellect. Had
his energy and intellect been used with q
more conservative spirit he would have
been much happier and more useful cti-
zen. Claiming to be Democrat he was
SO deeply imbued with the doctrines Of
Populism and Socialism that the Demo.
Gratis were unwilling to acknowledge that
he was one of their leaders, and the Re-
pphscans were disposed 10 regard him as
Socialist, with strong tendencies toward
Anarchism. His life in politics was thai
of stormy petrol, and his death was in
keeping with his life. On the night Of
the 1lth inst. lie was the chief speaker al
pro. Boer mass-meeting at Joliet. His
speech was Enthusiastically bitter and
about the last sentence he uttered was a
dark prophecy as to the future Of England.
He said: England is on the downward
grade, and in time will pass off the maps
of the world"
This is not the first time that bitter
enemy of old England has undertaken to
foretell the downfall of the mother of con-
stitutional government. When England
is blotted from the MAPS of the world
civilization and constitutional government
viii have also departed.
But to return to the subject Of this arti-
