Early sales were higher but later in the

eastern markets. Best fancy cows
brought $4.35 with others at $4.15 but
most of the trading on killing cows at

CAUSE OF BADNESS.

A new explanation for badness has
been given by Lucien Jacquet, who con-
cludes that the trouble has, in most cases
at least. a nervous origin
He calls attention To the fact that the
condition Is more common among intel
lectual persons than among others He is
convinced that badness Is OF frequent oc-
currence. not only among those who are
intellectual, but also among those who
are subjected to intense mental strain
and under such circumstances IL may oc-
cur comparatively early Badness in
creases with civilization, and Brocq has
noticed the curious fact that since women
have devoted themselves TO intellectual
pursuits and have grown accustomed 20
employ their cerebral centres in a more
intense manner badness. which formerly
was rare among them. has progressively
become more frequent
Furthermore. Jacquet has found In sew
eral cases OF early badness that there Is

THOSE KILKENNY CATS.

Everybody has heard of the two cats OF
Kilkenny that fought till nothing was left
but their tails. Strange as the tale seems,
there is a sub-stratum of fact upon which
II is founded. During the rebellion in Ire
land in 1903. Kilkenny was garrisoned by a
troop of Hessian soldiers, who amused
themselves in barracks by tying two cats
together by their tails and throwing them
across a clotheslne to fight. The officers,
hearing of the cruel practice, resolved to
stop IT, and deputed one man TO watch
One day the sentinel neglected his, duty.
and the heavy tramp OF the officer was
heard ascending the stairs. one OF the
troopers. Selling a sword cut the tails in
two OF the animals hung across the line.
The two cats escaped minus their tails.
through the open window. and when the
officer inquired the meaning of the two
bleeding tails being left in the room. he
was cody told that the two cats had been
lighting and had devoured each other all
but the tails.--The Searchlight.

Matters of Interest to

TO be detailed TO take car over it in the dark
ness OF the night. A motorman we'll acquainted
with the route, however dark the road might have
been, would, in all probability, have known when
he reached the brow of the hill and would have
kept the car under brake control down the hill and
into the curve
Thus it appears that responsibility for the
fundamental mistake rests with the traction COM
pany for selecting TO run the car at night motor
man who had little or no familiarity with
the dangers of the route he to traverse.
If, as the motorman contends the weight OF
the passengers riding on the running board caused
the to jump from the rails and go over on
its side, it would appear that the company is also
responsible. The running board is no place
for passengers. Traction companies in other
cities realizing the danger of such practice permit
passengers to ride in that position, do they
allow passengers to ride between the seats OF
open cars.
Probably because running-boar riding in the
summer and strap-hangng the other seasons OF the
year contribute materially to the dividends the local
traction company pays its literally watered
stock il has not seen it to enforce rule so plainly
and mperatively needed to avert accidents and in
sure the safety OF passengers.
Its neglect to do so may, however, prove costly
should the motorman's view of the cause OF til,
fatality be accepted by courts and iuries.

MAY PROVE COSTLY.

Two highly important statements were made
by William J. Leuchner, motorman on the caT
wrecked at Moores Corners a few weeks ago
causing the death of eleven passengers and the
injury OF two score more, during his examination
yesterday at the inquest into the fatality.
Leuchner testified that he had made but one
previous trip over the Crescent park route and
that was in August OF last year In his opinion
the car jumped the track and toppled over because
Of the weight OF the passengers who were standing
on the running board. Six persons the motorman
saw on the running board near the front platform
but how many more there were further back he
could not tell
Here are presented two elements that may
have been potential in causing the tragedy. The
motorman was unfamiliar with the route and this
lack OF knowledge rendered MIN an unsafe man
