Tame Wild Cats.


Domestic cats running wild, and
their descendants born in the timber
threaten to overrun the forests of Lake
county, on the north shore of Lake SUI
perior.
Several years ago . lumber company
operating in that division of the state
distributed about fifty eats among it's
camps and at the headquarters for sup
plies to kill off the rats. which were
doing much damage. When the camps
broke up most Of the cats were left to
shift for themselves. and the result has
been that they are now running wild,
with their hundreds OF defendants, and
the feline population of the county has
already reached astonishing proper
tons
To all intents and purposes the ani-
mails have been transformed from do
mestic to wild cats. The kitten born
to the wild conditions are much larger
and fercer than the old Duluth nous
ers that bred them AS a rule the kit
tens grow nearly third larger than
the old tabbies and their fur is longer
and finer than that of cats raised IN
the domestic state. The animals are
more active and better conditioned.
The new race Of wild cats has no diff
fculty in making good living in Lake
county, which abounds in rabbits, wild
mice and birds

THE PART HEFTER.
An Actors saccess May Not Depena
an fhe number Of His Lines

An Actors success May Not Depend
ON the Number Of His Lines.
An actor, known variousiy as s.expe-
rienced, . reliable and good all
round. . one who has been said to play
with authority. and whose scholarly
reading of his lines has been the sub
ject of frequent eulogy, walked out of
his managers Office with roll OF type
written manuscript clutched tightly in
his hand and look of blended joy and
elation irradiating his we'll scanned
face.
I've got my new part, 2 he cried joy
ously to friend whom he met on the
sidewalk, sand it's great =
Indeed" said his friend. What's
the character
Dunno . replied the Thespian cheer
fully, '..but it's simply great. II You
don't believe me just heft this. And
his friend proceeded to "heft' the type
written roll. remarking as he handed
it back that it must weigh at least half
pound.
If this good all round actor had pos
sessed any real knowledge OF his craft
he would have known that the failure
he scored was due to the fact that his
half pound part was one of those
worthless ones which read well and
"heft' well, but which afford the play
er no opportunity to do anything pleas
ing to the public.
When Mr.. Palmer gave out the parts
for the first production of THE Two
Orphans there was one roll Of manu-
script that was the hghtest of all and
weighed SO little that the part hefters
in the company turned up their noses
in scorn and turned plying glances or
the young actress to whom it was as
signed. Yet that was the part of Lou

the popular memory long after every

MODERN CITY LIFE.
It's saddest Aspect Is the Passing of
the Home.

the Home.
The passing of the home is the sad
dest phenomenon of modern city life.
The tenement house, which we seek to
disguise under the name of fiat" is a
most wretched substitute for the hum
blest of homes That our people endure
them is an indication of degeneracy, as
it will unquestionably be the cause of
more rapid descent. 1t is morally
certain that the vigor of the race can
be maintained only by personal con-
tact with the mother earth from which
we sprang, which nourishes us to her
bosom when we die. Why this is, per-
haps no one knows, but it is within the
knowledge of all that the vigor of the
city is constantly recruited from coun-
try life. To deprive children of daily
contact with the soil is sin.
The evil of the tenement house was
not realized until it passed from the
slums. because few of us know how the
| other half lives. 1t is perhaps not SO
desperate misfortune to those who
live by manual labor, for they get their
contact with earth in other ways, and
their children, less vexed by the con-
ventions OF society. find access to the
soil by su1ne means and pass, while
still young, to the occupations Of their
| parents. The most terrible effect OF the
| tenement huuse is in the families of the
'salaried' class as distinguished from
| the wage earneps'' and who fit from
fiat to fat, seldom remaining long
enough uywheres for home assocfa.

| be no home associa tions worthy Of thf
name which are not connected with q
