about to be opened on the town, the
cat, not knowing what was planned,
crawled into the 12-inch gun as usual
The Mortified gunners to whom the
dare to delay, and so unhitched the
charge and rushed anxiously to see
what would happen to Susan. Just
what the cat thought when her haven
of refuge "riz' on her will never be
known, but it must have been a trying
moment. The gunners caught a
glimpse of mortified cat countenance
as she disappeared in the distance.
Her ears were laid close to her mead,
but the hair on her back stood straight
up and ner tail was all bottleb rushy.
After the war the Spaniards stated
that at the beginning of the lombard
ment of Matanzas cat hustled over
the city, splitting fire and "hollering''
murder The inhabitants crossed
themselves and saw in the incident an
omen of disaster.
This was one Of the times when the
cat did not come back. When she
a1ighted and how was never known.
If she had mounted the projectile and
jumped off before it struck she would
have been safer. but the poor thing
was probably flustered.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
GOVERNMENT REGISTRATION OF
RAILROADS.

The conservative who hesitates at
having the government take decided
steps toward the regulation Of railways
may we'll ponder what refusal to take
such steps would bring about. There
are three possible results of the pres
ent railroad situation. The railroads
may own the government, the govern
ment may own the railroads or the
government may regulate the railroads.
1t may be assumed that the first pos
sibility, while it may be claimed by
the pessimist as most likely to occur.
will not be satisfactory. 1t may, there
fore, be dismissed from consideration.
Only two possible results remain: Gov
eminent ownership or government con-
troll. The timid individual who snrinks
from struggle for governmental con-
troll will learn that governmental own
ership is the only alternative. If he
prefers to have the government own
and operate the railways, well and
good. He must not be frightened away
is too radical and not realize that it
is less radical than the only alterna-
tive remaining.
The time has gone by, if it ever was,
when public service corporations, Gre
ated by the state and dependent upon
the general public for existence, can
conduct their own business independ-
emily of interests of the public or with
out regard for public law. The crea-
tion of a public service corporation is
that it may serve the public. The pub
lie which created it and endowed 1t
with certain privileges for certain ends
has moral and legal right to put such
safeguards and regulations upon the
business Of the corporation as will
make it best serve the end for which it
was created. 1t might nave been true
in the elder Vanderbilt's day that the
public could be damned, but it is not
true now. In all that relates to the
public interests the public service cor
poration, particularly the railroad
which is the largest and most import
ant, is proper subject of public con-
troll.
Between government regulation and
government ownership is a question
of policy. Which is better from the
standpoint of the public? The gov
eminent may properly do either II
it can own and operate a postal system
which carries small packages it car
own and operate an express system
which corries large packages. If il
can own and care for dirt roads and
gravel roads and turnpikes because
the interest Of the public is thus best
subserved it can own and operate
steam and electric roads for the same
sound economic reason. AS to whether
the interest of the public may be pro.
NOTED by ownership better than by
control is a matter for debate. AS tt
whether the people, acting in theil
organized capacity as state or nation
can either own or control as they pre-.
fer is not a question for debate.

UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE OF A CAT.

On board the Z. S. man. of war Tex

She was the mascot of the ship and

A Clever Ruse.
Isan Antonio Express.l

The Lutte A. M. Simpson, the eldest
Odd Fellow III the world. who died
| during the winter at Stanton. Va.
aged 90 years, was the subject OF dis
cussion recently among a group Of Odd
Fellows of Lynchburg.
"Mr. Simpson, said one. was full
| OF interesting experiences. l remem-
Der an experience of his about theat-
err hat.
HE went one January on a 1unket
| to New York, and naturally, the first
evening in the metropolis, he visited q
| theater.
I'm those days women weren't COM
PEELED to take their hats off In the
theater: they could do as they pleased
about the matter. Consequently q
good many kept their hats on and
the people behind them saw nothing Of
| the stage.
"Well, Mr.. Simpson sat IN his or
chestra chair. enjoying the play fa-
mously, when u woman in two-foot
hat pumped down in the seat in front
of him.
sHe sighed. He sat, so to speak, OH
! tiptoe. He craned his neck to the right
and to the left, but in vain. Now that
the woman was to come he could see
nothing of the stage. He saw Only two
black ostrich p1unles. bunch Of grapes
q humming bird, and bow Of pink
satin ribbon--from behind this mass
the voices of the players came
"Mr Simpson was a modest man.
1t was not his nature to disturb any
one. Nevertheless he did not often get
| to New York theater, and now that
| he was in one, he did not propose to
miss it's benefits thru no fault Of his
I own. so, after good deal of silent
| suffering and a. great deal of bashful
hesitation, he leaned forward, touch
| ed the woman in front Of him, and said
in the politest tone:
Madam, will you kindly take of
your hat?
"The woman ignored him - ignored
him absolutely. He said. a little
louder:
"'Will you please take off that big
| hat. madam? can see nothing be-
hind it,
"She turned, gave him scornful,
whitening look, and settled back in her
| former position again.
MADAM said Mr.. Simpson very
firmly, "if you do not remove that
hat something unpleasant will hap
PEN
"She ignored him again.
"Mr. Simpson reached down under
the seat, got his own hat. and put it
on. Instantly from all parts of the
house there came a loud and feroc-
ious chorus:
"'Here, take Off that hat
"Hats off,
"Hats off; down in 'front.'
".Take off your hat
"'of withtyour hat Off with it,
'The woman removed her hat in
stantly. At the same instant Mr..
Simpson. chuckling removed his own.
Then the uproar ceased"
