children left IL large goblet or

rybody had gone to bed and to
sleep, this old thomas CIT jumped
up on the table, stuck his head in
the glass by degrees. The top Of
the glass being somewhat smaller
than the middle, caused the cat
to force his Adam 5 apple II little.
When the said cat cleaned mp the
bread and milk and tried TO pull

head and ears in all right, but
when he went to lift his bend out,

MANY Quail Hunters.

Many parties from San Angelo

Whites that abound in the

that you don't get into posted

PASSENGERS ESCAPE.

Valdes, Alaska, Sept. 16.-The pas
sengers and crew Of the wrecked
steamer Oregon took to life boats yes
terday morning after the steamship
struck and were picked up several
hours later by the lighthouse tender
Columbine, which was surveying these
waters for the lighthouse on Hinchin-
brook. The Columbine arrived at
Valdes with the passengers and mail
at o'clock yesterday morning. The
revenue cutters have not returned.
The Oregon was seven miles off her
course east of Hinchinbrook and
struck the rocks fifty miles from
shore, where the bank is peTpendicu,
lar and there was no chance to
launch. She slid off until she listed
in few feet Of water with several
fathoms under her stern. She is hard
and fast aground, filed with water
to the second deck and will go to
pieces in the first swell from the
ocean.
The captain maintained good disci-
pline and threatened to shoot the men
who were attempting to get off in a
life boat, after which his orders were
obeyed without question and all got
off without accident. If the weather
remains calm there Is possible
chance of Tightening off some Of the
Oregon's cargo, but as the boat is on
the side of the island exposed to the
tide salvage is very doubtful

Earthquake a Health Tonic.

There was too, in San Francisco, an
Improvement in the general health Of
the people after the earthquake. It
Is an undoubted fact that a great
many women who were in a poor state
OF health before the shock, with bad
appetites and defective digestion, are
now eating all they can get and di-
costing 1t without trouble, while the
mental condition, which so often &C.
companies the dyspeptic state, has
equally improved. The explanation,
says the London Hospital, is as simple
as it is rational. These people were
fortunately deprived of their drains,
alcohol and Injuries; they had moth
ing but simple food, and they were
compelled to take exercise in the
open air to get it. The men have
found it possible to live without
cigars or whisky and the ladies with
out candy. They have cooked their
simple meals in the streets, to the
better ventilation of their houses; for
lack of light they have gone to bed
early, with the compensation that they
have risen with the lark. They have
had the enforced benefits of a SAM.
tarium, and good health is the result.

The CoIleqe Decree.
AUDUBON.

The degree-giving habit, says the
Worlds Work, came to us from the
English universities, and the medieval
badge once meant something to edu'
Gated men. But now, remarks the
writer, it no longer has any special
significance to any body of men, and
men of actual attainment are quietly
dropping the explanatory letters that
are supposed to indicate their educa.
tional achievements. Nowadays a col
lege graduate has spent from two to
five years in an institution where he
may have eaten a substantial intellec.
tual meal, or may have tasted instead
a vast number of tempting education.
al dishes-or merely had a good time
and hired a coach to do the required
thinking. He may have entered col
lege after a thorough training in a
good fitting school, or he may have
been accredited" by a perfunctory
school teacher, and have been really
unprepared for any higher studies.
Under such conditions the comforting
of degrees is piece Of scholastic
buncombe, endeared by tradition and
OF some supposed commercial benefit
to the recipients. 1t is natural enough
that young people in college should
confound the taking of a degree with
the getting of an education. But what
is really more lamentable is that
American colleges seem unable to put
their stamp upon their graduates in
some more enduring manner than by
giving them little rolls of parchment
and the right to add some capital let
ters to their names.

GOVERNMENT is SEEKING
TO Make PEACE

Havana, Sept. 1.-THE government
Is making final strenuous efforts to
restore peace and thus avoid Ameri1
can Intervention. The object of these
endeavors, it is stated, is that it may
be able to say by the time Secretary
Of War Taft and Secretary Bacon
secured and that therefore there is
no need for American intervention
either to restore peace or insure per-
manent tranquility.
Members of the government inform
ed The Associated Press that they are
following the advice contained in
President Roosevelt's letter; that they
have no objection to the friendly as
sistance of the United States In the
matter if it becomes necessary, but
that they can settle it without outside
aid. At least they are trying to do
this with fair prospects of success.
This is the latest phase of a rapid
ly changing situation that developed
late yesterday afternoon when an ex-
traordinary gazette was issued con-
tanning a decree signed by the Presi
dent Palma on the recomme ndation
of Secretary of Public Works Montal.
vo. The decree follows:
"All campaign operations are sus.
pended and in consequence the gov.
eminent forces will act only on the
defensive throughout the republic
The secretary of the interior will issue
all the necessary orders for the execu.
ton of this decree"
The decree caused great surprise,
as it was believed to signify a change
Of heart by the government officials
who for the past two days have been
strongly against any peace negotia-
lions with the revolutionists. The
Associated Press learns that yester-
days action had it's beginning with
M. Menocaps effort to persuade Secre-
tary Montalvo to make the strongest
possible endeavor to induce President
Palma to avoid the consequences of
Intervention by endeavor1ng to have
the Cubans themselves come to an

Women are sometimes regarded as
likely to lose their heads and grow
historical with fear in times of sud
den danger, but every little while
some incident occurs which puts
them in another light. An open car
filled with passengers ran away down
a long hill in New York the other day.
When it was found that the car was
beyond control many passengers
screamed and jumped and some were
badly hurt, says the Youths Com,
panion. A woman who had a baby in
her arms stood calmly up in her
place, motioned to a man on the
street who was watching the ap,
preaching car, tossed the baby to
him as the car passed, and then sat
down. The man caught the baby
and in a few moments the mother
walked back, thanked him, and took
the child. Nothing panicky about
that!
