BADLY In NEED OF CATS.
But Elders of Russian Village Find
Law Does Not Provide for Dis
tribution of Felines.


The elders of a Russian village as
sembled in council recently drew up
q memorandum to the head Of the
district setting forth that as mice
were making serious depredations,
they would be obliged if the chief
would send them two or three strong
cats. The district chief, face to
face with this novel request, which
he was unable to crafty, sent the
petition to the governor of the prov
ince.
The governor had no money at his
command for the purchase Of cats,
SO he sent the petition to the gov
9ernor general, who sent it to the
senate, which sent it to the minis
ter Of the interior. Through the
same channels the answer went back
to the village that the minister was
unable to supply cats, as the law
makes no provision for that con-
tingency. &. rs.

BABY TELEGRAPH OPERATOR.
Infant Prodigy from Oklahoma, AL
though Never Taught Te1egraPhy,
Acquires Great Skill.

Glen Bales Peck, four-year-old
boy, of Perry, Okla, is without
doubt che youngest telegraph opera
tor in the world His father, N. B.
Peck, is agent of the Rock Island
railroad at Watonga, Okla. Glen
has never been taught telegraphy.
In fact, he does not know single
letter of the Morse alphabet, yet he
can send as good Morse as an old
operator. ,5#s5. ~
The operators all along the line Of
the Rock Island railroad testify to
Glen's remarkable ability. They all
know him.
The boy can read considerable
from the wires and can tell when
operators are sending their car re-
ports and when Watonga's turn
comes to send in the daily report.
He can tell when the Western
Union relay Office is sending c N DIS
(train reports).
This baby operator can tell when
the dispatcher is calling for train or
ders, who is calling and when the
answer is sent. Nearly every day
Glen learns something new on the
wire and calls attention to the fact,
pronouncing the word and naming
the Office sending the message. He
does not read by letter but by sound
of the whole words. He sends mes
sages at the rate of about Is words
per minute. His parents have a
coy home right in the depot and
they have to watch Glen all the time
to keep him from working on the
wires.

he rejoined from leave, and they all
thought they knew why. Letters
came, black-bordered, with Esther's

for Mrs. Blake or Mrs. Ray. There
was never one for Field. And SO a
second summer came and went and a
second September was ushered in, and

there was again music and dancing, at
Fort Frayne, but not for Field, not

fathers corps, and the mail came late
from Laramie, and letters were hand
ed round as tattoo sounded, and Mrs.
Blake, eagerly scanning black-bor-

in doors, her eyes brimming over with
tears.

the singer; saw her quickly turn, as
though, for the first time, aware of
an intruder. Then the wailing song
went out in sudden scream of mingled
wrath, hatred and despair, and, like
the Sioux that she was at heart, the
girl made one mad rush to reach the
point of bluff where was sheer de-
scent of over 80 feet. "A shrek Of

PROPERTY OWNERS KICK OVER
IGNORANCE IN ENGINEERS OFFICE

The board of public works has i'm
timated that the matter will be taken
into the courts to decide who shall
pay for regarding the avenue or
whether the street car tracks shall
be raised.
The street car company answers
with the statement that the legal
department asserts that the courts
will sustain the engineer in laying
the tracks to the established grade.
A communication to this effect will
be sent the board by the company to-
morrow or Monday.
All along where the street car COM
pany is laying the new tracks on
the North Side there are similar COM
plants from property owners who
have had the streets ruined in front
of their property through the action
of the Washington Water Power COM
pany.
Tracks Raised.
At Indiana and Cedar a reverse
condition exists. Instead of lowering
the tracks at this crossing, they have
been raised, forming an obstruction
to teams and pedestrians which Sc
riously interferes with the traffic at
that point.

The company further insisted that
If the tracks were laid on the present
grade 1t would be in the power of any
property owner on the street to en-
force the established grade, which
would mean that later the rails would
have to be torn out and the track
relaid.
The question considered by the
board this morning is as to who will
have to pay the cost of regarding the
street, or whether the street car COM
pany can be forced to raise the tracks
to conform to the present grade.
At this time the board is depending
upon the law which provides for lay
ing the tracks flush with the grade.
The car company is depending upon
the engineers showing that the street
is higher than the legal grade. The
property owners are depending upon
nothing but the fact that their once
pretty driveway has been ruined and
that they are likely to be called upon
to pay once more fore the careless
ness of official taxeaters who don't
know their business.
