According to an article on cats in the
the May number of the New Idea
Woman's Magazine the "coon cat" is a
"species brought to America by the
early French settlers of Canada. Thence
they were brought to Maine, which is
the only part of the United States
where they are numerous. They feed
upon milk, liver and potatoes and do
not like water. Their appearance.
when they become angry, frightens
everyone away, and the breadth OF
their tails resembles the pole CATS yet
they are tractable and highly priced
on account of their beauty" There
are good many mongrel "coon cats"
10 called, on this island. Occasionally
quite fine specimen of the breed is
seen, but as rule they are not remark
able for beauty.

PATS LAST DRINK.

The settlement worker was visiting
a tenement house in Cherry street. In
the course of his visit he entered into
a conversation with Mrs. Mulligan.
He asked a question which he never
failed to bring in while talking 10 a
woman of ''the congested district. ="
Does your husband drink, ma'am?"
"Bliss yer sowl, sir, he hasn't teched
a drap fer de lasht tree years" was
the unexpected reply.
The settlement worker was startled:
he could not believe his ears. He had
never expected a reply like this in
all his experience.
That's a very good thing for you, I"
he said, as he entered in his notebook
a memorandum of this remarkable
case for the Sociological Review.
In the meantime Mrs. Mulligan
seemed to grow very indignant.

Hotel Afire.

At a fire in a Chattanooga hotel
recently the lives of the guests were
saved by the clerk sending out warn
ings over the room telephones at mid
night. We can imagine that it would
be somewhat disconcerting for a guest
to be abruptly awakened with an an
nouncement of this sort. and some
times it might cause more casualties
than the blaze. A nice. pleasant,
breaking-it-easy sort of method may
come in vogue. Suppose this:
Hello, ALL"
Hello"
"This Mr.. Spriggins?"
yep
"Gone to bed YETI"
"Sure. Dye thing L
That's all right. How're you feel
ing?"
"Sort o. $685."
That's good. Feel equal to hurry
up slide down the fire-escape?"
''Weil, might if I had to. Say"
"All right; that's just how it stands.
You wriggle into your clothes now,
and make a record doing it. You see,
the hotels on fire, and-and-gee!
Don't talk like that, mister, there are
ladies in the next room. Good-by."

SETTLERS PROTEST
Trouble Over Recent State Land Sc
ections

leCtiOnS
The following petition to the
state land board is being circulated
through north Kootenai and is
being signed by almost everyone:
We, the undersigned citizens
and residents of Kootenai county.
respectfully request your honora-
BILE body to withdraw the filings
made by your honorable board,
through your chief clerk, Mr.. Jack
son, assisted by one Thomas Muir
ray, and covering townships So
north ranges 1 and 2 east, and SO
north ranges l and 2 east B. M,
for the following reasons to-wit:
On account of unjust discrimin-
atoms between settlers.
The selections made by your
body are situated within the North
ern Pacific railway land grant, and
the state selecting in these town
ships, precludes all settlements ex-
cepting a few favored ones, which
on account of their limited num-
Der will be unable to bear all the
expense necessary in building
school houses, roads, churches, etc,
and naturally the growth of Koot-
enai county will be greatly re-
tarded.
The selections of your board
has deprived a great number of
settlers of their claims, which we
consider an act of injustice.
The petition upon its face is q
most illogical document, but il
the facts stated be true, they are
such as call for a rigid examina-
ton on the part of Governor Nor
rison and his state lana board, and
it is in the hope that such an inves-
tigatiou may be had and that many
cases of apparent injustice may b'
righted that the editor of TIT
HERALD signed the petition.
The request that ali the state'i
filings, as applied to the four town
ships named, should be withdraw
is an unreasonable request. Tn,
people have ordered the state au
thorities to select lands for the ben
eft of the state institutions, anC
now to turn around and ask tn
same authorities to relinquish tkei
selections is mere child's play
Many CT the settlers on the land
in question went there and mad
their improvements at their peril
well knowing that the state ha'
the first right to select. Their re
quest is to" sweeping.
We understand that many o
the ills of which the settlers com
plain is blamed upon an individu
al whom they designate as "un
Thomas Murray" Who Murra
is we do not know. He may be
saint or ne may be all the settler
charge. We do know, however
that he is a man whom Governo
Morrison has named over tn
heads of any number of loya
prominent ar d influential republt
cana in this county who were de
serving of recognition.
We hope the petition will at leas
have the effect of calling out rig
id examination into the irregular
ties, not to say briberies, and vi
just determinations complained o
and that in the mix-up the homes
settler will get the justice aske
for.

in meditation on and adoration of the
divine perfection. Such prayers are
an Intense aspiration for union with
God-the exstacy of the mystic, The
meditation Of the sage, the soaring
rapture of the saint. Such, it seems
to us, was meant by the prayer OF
Jesus, THAT they may be one in Me,
as even |. Father, am in Thee.
This is the true communion be-
tween the Divine and the human,
when the man pours himself out IN
love and generation for that which
is inherently attractive, that compels
the love of the heart"
