however. Is well able To take care of

~ W00ER IN HE WOOD PILE
SOMEWHERE.

There is u 'nigger in the wood pile"
somewhere In connection with the re-
cent dismissal of Mr.. George Skies
from his position as secretary of the
Council Committee on Local TranspOr-

or course Mayor Harrison has made
fine show of Indignation over Mr..
Skies dismissal but experience has
proven that Mr. 1larrisOn's shows Of
Indignation should he properly taken

1t Is well known that Mr.. Skies was
master Of the traction problems of
this city. and 1t was notorious that Mr..
Skies was u most ardent advocate Of

the thing to drag along until next

to have him retained.
but Skies went. Notwithstanding all
the Mayors boosted influence with the
committee.

The distressing discOmfOrts and dis.
advantages Of being rich have been ex.
patiated upon by the vOtaries OF penury
from time immem0rial. Poverty gazes
pitifully through the barred windows
Of wealth and perceives its deprlva.
lions and limitations. The poor have
the bOWdless freedom of nature will,
oil its unrestrained abandon; the rich
are hemmed In by the circumstances of
Opulence. restricted In their enjoy.
ments to the very things they possess.
In this view may be found the conso.
latiOns Of poverty. In an address be.
fore the Society for the Study Of Life
In the Tuxedo, In New York, Perciyal
Chubb summed up In very interesting
and original way the 'misfortunes of
the children Of the wealthy" Mr..
Chubb Is reduced almost to tears az he
cOntemplates the pitiful clea nlIness OF
the children Of the rich, their "anaemic
primness" and their deprivations In the
way of mud pies and other possessions
that delight the soul Of child. "A
good roll In the mud Is what they
need" says Percival Chubb. Mud pies
he declares. would be their salvation"
There is no doubt that this question Of
mud Is sadly neglected In most homes
of the rich. We doubt II there Is one
wealthy home In fifty where there are
children that has a mud pie attachment
or any facilities for taking roll In the
mud. In this way the souls Of the chill.
dren OF the rich are stunted ana
dwarfed. Their development is not
normal. When they grow older they
will not know mud when they see 1t,
let alone be able to handle 1t. In the
race Of life their names twill be Mud"

EMPTY INTERURBAN STRIKES A
HERD OF CATTLE AND Is
DERAILED
SEVEN COWS BADLY CUT UP
Two of Them Shot by Humane Ofi-
Ger, and Five More VIII
Be Killed This
Morning.

An Interurban car struck a herd Of cat
tie at Vandaia street last night at $50
o'clock and MANNED seven of them so
that they will have to be killed. The car
was an empty returning to the barn and
was following closely a West-bound loaded
car. Peter Bungert was driving twenty
five head of cattle from South St Paul
to Minneapolis, and seeing the approa CHI
ing car, got the cattle off the track He
did not notice the empty, which was fol-
lowing closely, and the cattle scattered
over the track. The motorman saw
them, but could not stop the car until
it struck them.
Seven of the cattle were injured and the
front part Of the car was thrown from
the track. The rear wheels remained on
the track, but when the car was stopped
the front wheels had been thrown from
the rails by running over one Of the cows.
Neither the motorman nor the conductor
was injured, but both were badly shaken
by the collision
The police were notified and an officer
of the Humane society appeared. He
shot two of the animals, but five more
will have to be killed this morning The
cattle were owned by different parties
IN Minneapolis and were mich cows pur-
chased in South st. Paul Mr. Bungert
had been employed to drive them. and
was in charge Of them when the accident
occurred.
