was caused by some person for sensational

III feiation 10 the arbitration treaties now
In the Senate the President has addressed
the following letter to Senator Cullom
chairman of The Senate committee on for
eign relations:
WHITE HOUSE
Washington. January TO- 1905
My Dear Senator Cullom:
Il notice in connection with the general
arbitration treaties now before the Senate
that suggestions have beer made to the
effect that under them 1t might be possible
to consider as matters for arbitration
claims against certain states of the Union
IN reference TO certain state debts
write to say. what, OF course. you person.
ally Know. that under no conceivable cir
cumStances could any such construction of
the treaty be for moment entertained by
any President. The holders of state debts
take them with full knowledge of the con-
sututlonal limitations upon their recovery
through any action of the national govern
ment, and must rely solely on state credit.
Such a claim against a state could under
no considerations be submitted by the gen.
eral government as a matter of arbitra-
ton; any more than such a claim against
a county or municipality could be thus
submitted for arbitration
The objection to the proposed amend
ment on the subject is that 1T is a mere
matter OF surplusage. and that il is very
undesirable. when the form of these treat
les has already been agreed to by the sew
eral powers concerned, needlessly to add
certain dennllions which affect fo4r own in
ternal policy only; which deal with a mat
ter OF the relation of the federal govern
ment to the states which it is of course
out OF the question ever to submit to the
arbitration of any outside tribunal: and
which II is certainly absurd and proba blv
mlschievous to treat as possible to be
raised by the President or by any foreign
power. RIO one would even think of such
a matter as being one for arbitration or for
any diplomatic negotiation whatever. More
over. these treaties run only for a term of
hve years; until the end of that period
they Will certainly be interpreted in ac-
cordance with the view above expressed.
Very truly yours
THEODORE Roosevelt II"

FEEDING ANIMALS IN WINTER.
Squirrels and Rabbits Most Quickly

Squirrels and Rabbits Most Quickly
Become Pets.
OF the animals that We can coax
about our houses, the gray squirrels
become most friendly. Put nuts in
convenient places and they will make
frequent trips for supplies, but only
on comparatively mild days will they
remain long outside their comfortable
winter quarters, where they usually
have plenty Of food stored.
In Central park, New York, the
gray squirrels have become so accus-
toned to being fed that they have to
a great extent, given up storing food,
and rely chiefly on what they can
pick up each day. Red squirrels can
be coaxed by means of food, but they
are very questionable fellows; in fact,
the general opinion is decidedly
against them, owing to their partial
ity for eggs and young birds. Chip
hunks hibernate in their under
ground homes, SO we cannot count on
them for winter visitors.
The cotton-tail will condescend to
accept dainties in the form of green
vegetables Though one seldom has
such Injuries in the winter), but, as
he comes almost entirely at night, he
is not a very interesting guest.

Do Not Suppress a Cough.

When you have cough do not try
to suppress it, but remove the cause
The cough is only a symptom OF
some disease, and the disease is what
you should cure, then the cough will
stop of itself. The most common
cause of coughing is a cold. Ano-
dynes will promptly suppress the
cough, and preparations containing
chloform, opium, etc., are used for
that purpose, but they do not cure the
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
on the other hand does not suppress
the cough, but relieves it by remov.
ing from the throat and lungs the
mucus which INSTRUCTED the breathing
and allaying the irritation and tick
ling in the throat. 1t also opens the
secretions and effectually and per.
manently cures the cold as we'll as

TO TELL BUTTER FROM oLEO.

and butter Enthusiastically. Then you
need never again be cheated"
She put the oleo and the butter in
separate saucepans on the fire and
let them come to boil. They boiled
in a very different manner-one nois-
lily, with a great deal of spluttering,
the other smoothly, giving forth an
abundance of white foam.

teacher, that boils noisily, for oleo is
a mixture of grease and water, and

The crocodile is large animal that
inhabits the Nile and loves to go on
the sandy beach to bask in the sun
shine and lay eggs. 1t looks some
like dachshund, only there is more
of it at the ends and it is bigger.
There was crocodile once that es-
capped from circus. 1t roamed DER
the country, seeking in vain for pigs
and small children to devour, and
died of starvation in great anguish.
You can ride on the back of croco-
Ollie, but it is more comfortable to
use a saddle. It is usually quiet, but
is terrible when reused. We all ought
to be thankful we are not a crocodile.

How MiIIionaires Enjoy Themselves

Twenty millionaires, impersonating
farmers, have held a curious dinner
in an hotel in Philadelphia. A minia-
ture cornfield had been installed in
the dining hall, and ROSTERS ate wheat
from the floor. The guests used toy
pitchforks, rakes, and hoes, instead of
knives and forks. A stuffed bull stood
behind a rail fence, and two live pigs
feasted in a sly. Farming utensils
hung on the walls, and the electric
lights were in pumpkins and melons.
When the company felt thirsty they
went to a cider press, and farmers
wagons took them home.
