MOUSE WAS DRUNK.
Was Entirely Too Familiar With the
 House Cat.

From the New York Times
 Generally when a mouse or a rat sees it's mortal enemy, the cat, it is filled with an almost paralyzing terror" observed the man who lives in the suburbs; but the other day my family witnessed a cu- rious case in which a wee mouse seemed to welcome the cat in spirit of comrade- ship Perhaps the cat found it's natural instinct too strong; perhaps it was tenn perance cat, shocked at the disgraceful condition of the mouse; at any rate, pussy refused to reciprocate the friendly feeling shown by the mouse-and gobbled it down. That the mouse was unable to recognize its natural foe was because the mouse was intoxicated with wine-strange as that may seem
 We had been bothered recently by mice in our cellar Our cat, with the proper spirit toward mice. had spent a lot of time trying to catch one; but 1t was so easy for little mouse to scamper where a cat could not follow that puss didn't meet with any success. on the evening of my story we heard crash, as of broken glass, in the cellar.
 "'There goes one of my bottles of wine,' I said to my wife.
 "A few minutes later we heard series of squeaks from the cellar. At first we didn't pay much attention to them, but when they were continued the curiosity of the family. and especially of the cat, was stirred. So the cat and entered the cellar. There, on the floor, was the fallen bottle, smashed to fragments. Beside it. perched on his hind legs, mouse was uttering joyful squeaks and occasionally

A "HoIYv Railroad.

From the New York Commercial.
 How many persons know that there is right here in North America a ''hoiy railroad?s This Is little line twenty one miles long. from Quebec to Ste. Anne de Beaupre. It is sacred because it claims to run "espeeially for the accom- mediation of pilgrims and above all, be- cause at its opening few years since it was formally blessed. with all it's be- longings, by Cardinal Taschereau Every Sunday the trains are crowded by devo- tees In search of the blessing of the good Saint Anne. who is credited with the ni- raeuous power of healing. and on July 26 Saint Anne's Day. the road cannot accommodate the enormous crowds which flock to her shrine.

Young stratealst.
New York Times.

From the New York Times
 Kermit Roosevelt is a strategist of no mean ability. He and his younger sister once were partners in an aquarium con- taining two goldfish which had been given to them for Christmas. One morn ing on going into the nursery Kermit found only one fish in the aquarium; the other had leaped out on to the carpet in the night and met the usual fate Of a fish out of water.
 Sister he announced at breakfast, your gold fish Is dead"
 The little girl, in the first shock of the bereavement, forgot that the fishes were exactly alike and that the partners had never made definite division. But after the period of mourning was over she asked one morning.:
 Kermit, how did you know it was my fish that died?'
 Driven into a corner Kermit took ref uge in an air of superior contempt.
 How did I know?' he repeated scorn- fully. Huh, just like a girl.'
 Inferring that her lack of reasoning powers usually attributed to her sex pre- vented her from understanding the sit uation, she meekly accepted her broth CTS decision.

Northern Colorado are millions of

because of the prohibitive freight
rates on potatoes from Colorado to

No citizen of Pendleton should hes

The United States could learn a
valuable lesson from the Japanese
troops. They are very abstemious in
their diet. They are wonderfully
neat and clean not only in their per-
sons but in their surroundings. They
eat but little meat and less liquor.
They drink only boiled water. They
indulge in constant physical exercise.
They do not die from typhoid as the
American soldiers did in the Spanish
war, because they guard against 1t in
every way. They are brave, patient

Acts Like Oxygen.

Liquozone is the result OF a process
which, for more than 20 years, has
been the constant subject OF scientific
and chemical research. Its virtues are
derived solely from gas, made in large
part from the best oxygen producers
BY a process requiring immense APP
paratus and IA days time, these gases
are made part OF the liquid product.
The result is a product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as
you know, is the very source OF vital
ity. Liquozone is a vitaliIer win
compare. But germs are vegetables;
and Liquozone-like an excess oi
oxygen-is deadly to vegetal matter
Yet this wonderful product which no
germ can resist, is, to the human
body, the most essential element ol
Life.
