CAT LIVES IN ICE HOUSE
And Seems to Enjoy Low Tempera
ture Of the Place.

In one of Philadelphla's big cold
storage warehouses, says the Record
OF that city, is a cat that lives con-
stantly in temperature of ten degrees
above zero, winter and summer.
Moreover she seems to like It, and on
the rare occasions when she is re-
moved to the outer air she news and
scratches at the door to get back
again. Rats and mice also live and
thrive in that temperature, which Is
the secret of the cats presence there.
I'VE put her in the compartment that
registers 80 degrees originally" said
the manager of the warehouse the
other day. "Wo had been overrun
with rodents, and we turned the cat
loose as an experiment. She seemed
to like 1t, and when we moved her to
tie colder temperature, 1t had no Ill
effect upon her 1t would be interest
ing to know at just how low a tenn
perature a cat could sustain life."

IMMENSE TREES IN FLORIDA.
Monarchs Of the Forest That Hav
Stood for Centuries.

It is difficult even to guess at the
age of the ancient live oaks, but some
of them must number centuries and
the Oldest and greatest of them all
is a monarch of the forest, with its
outer branches sweeping the ground
in a circle 12O feet across, with limbs
as great as ordinary trunks Of trees
and bearing G garden Of aerial ferns
and air-plants upon their bark. This
venerable tree is supposed to be the
largest live oak in Florida. Enormous
grapevine trunks rise sinuously from
the ground and lose themselves amid
the quarter-acre Of foliage that
crowns this tree; the saplings that
once gave them support have disap.
peared long years ago, their only
record being the angles and curves Of
grapevine stem to which they lent
their transient aid in climbing sky.

THE FACTS IN THE CASE.

In our last issue we stated that there
was question raised between the Sher-
iii and City Marshall as to whose duty
it was to care Tor the remains of Mr..
O. \. Anderson.
Our neighbor says our remarks were
utterly false from beginning to end
but i'm the next sentence states that
the officers went together and sought
Attorney Vaughan and he stated it
was his opinion that the Sheriff should
look after the body etc. If there was
no question raised as to whose duty
it was why did they ask advice from
Vaughan?
The facts are just are we stated.
There was question raised between
the officers, and Marshall Crockett not
withstanding he did not feel it was
his duty to do so, had the body tax =
en- to the undertakers and did all he
could to have it properly cared for. AS
to notifying the family ID. c, Bulge
and Robert Mudock sent messenger
to Paradise where he arrived at 3
O'Clock am. and found Mrs. Anderson
sitting up, with the table spread, and
the lantern lighted, waiting for her
husband.
The fact that we have any ads, at
all is about what is worring our neigh
Dor.

Birds Find Refuge on a LIahtshIp.

The captain in charge Of light.
ship situated at the entrance to San
Francisco harbor recently reported to
the United States light house COM
missioner that large number Of land
birds took refuge on board the YES
sci. A dense smoke from northern
forest fires hung over the locality and
completely obscured sea and land.
Evidently the birds had lost their
way. and, exhausted by their long
flight, the wanderers lighted on the
ship undeterred by the presence Of
the crew. At one time sixty Of the
feathered guests were counted on va
rious parts of the ship. Owls. cranes,
hummingbirds and other non-marine
species were noticed during the time.

III omens from Chinese Mild Weather

Indications are not wanting that
there is to be second crop of lichees
this year, the trees in the interior
having again Powered, says the Hong
Kong Daily Press. AS a consequence
many wild rumors are in circulation
and pestllence, rebellion and war are
foretold. A parallel Is pointed to in
the case of the TAPPING rebellion
which was preceded by a double cror
of lichees. Signs of the times point
to a great rebellion in China, and
complications between Russia, France
England and japan are inevitable.

CASE OF HON. REED SMOOT.

"The election of Reed Smoot as
United States senator from Utah
will present very different problem
from the one involved in the Roberts
case. Roberts was polygamist. and
was prevented from taking his seat in
the House on the ground that he was
lawbraker. Smoot, it is said, is not
polygamist. The record will show
merely that he is Mormon Church.
If this is the limit of the proof against
him it is clear that the task of prevent
ing him from taking his seat or of UNI
sorting him would encounter obstacles
much more serious than any that
Roberts could devise. For the ques-
ton raised would be whether a Nor
mon is barred by his religion instead
of by social practices that are contrary
to the laws and customs of the coun-
try

since those wide wedding rings were
used among fashionable people. They
went out of style long ago, In their

"The good women Of the National
w. C. II. U. have entered a fight
against Smoot of Utah. Anybody
may scratch the face or pull the hair
of poor Smoot. The temperance
women have sent a message to the
Utah Legislature, expressing their
disapproval of Smoot on two grounds:
First, not because he belongs to the
Mormon Church, but is the candidate
of the church, and second, because he
does belong to the Church and is I'M
der it's influence. In other words, the
good women object to him donbly for
the simple reason that he is Nor
mon. OF course the constitution of
of the United States says there shall
be no discrimination against man
because of his religious belief, but
who cares anything, any more, about
the Constitution of the United
States? A set of principals that can
be annulled in one part of the coun-
try's possessions can be annulled in
another-can't it?
But in making the plea that Smoot
should not go to the senate because
he is under the control of the Church
the women are establishing pre-
carious precedent. This argument
may rise up to haunt them some time
when they seek, in the future, as they
have done in the past, to secure the
election of some other man under
the control of some other church.
And, by the way, if you are not fully
informed about the Mormon Church,
creed and work, you are not qualified
to condemn it. All churches look
pretty much alike in the great COM
mon sense of the American people,
and blow of this sort at one church
is in effect blow at them all. Be-
sides, If we are to exclude from the
senate all who are under control OF
some organized influence or other
that august body would be left with
out quorum.
"The influences that control most
senators are far more dangerous than
that Of any church can ever be i'm
agined to be. 1t is not a mere dem.
agogic cry to say that trusts, com.
bines and corporations control sure
majority of the senate. Look behind
almost any senator who is permitted
to become prominent figure in Con
gress, and you will find corporation
or two standing back of him and con,
trolling him. 1t would not be polite
to mention names: that would be
coming too near home. Nor is il
necessary. The fact is known to all
who are interested in public affairs.
To these vital facts the good women
are blind. But they can see when a
man is under the influence of church,
and since it is not their church, they
think it too utteIly awful for any
thing. The common sense of
the people of the United States
and of the Legislature of Utah
is not apt to be greatly influenced by
this diStinctiyely feminine protest
Church rows and rivalries are rather
too common to disturb the genera
serenity. The sane longing of the
public is that there might be less
senators under corporation control anC
more under control of churches OF
