A TRIBUTE TO PUSSY
From O Woman VINO Has Owned $50 Cats

The person who lately denounced the
cat as a menace to health and happiness
has reused q chorus Of defence for poor
pussy. y
During the past thirty years, n indig-
nant woman writes to Good Housekeop-

kept a oattery nor ever owned a pussy
that, as far as / know, had q trace OF arlsto-
cratic blood. They were just common

spent on an orange grove in Florida, where
we had as many as sixteen cats at q time.

years no cat Of ours ever caught q bird!
but l do say that no cat Of mine ever caught
anythin & ke'ffty birds a year, with which
average the cat critic discredits them.
"one Of my best cats, Zoe. was noted for
her skill In catching q sort Of mole which
was very injurious to the roots Of orange
trees. People would come miles to beg for
one Of Zoe's kittens, hoping to find the anne

LIKED ROOSEVELT.
Citizens of Panama Were Delighted
With the President.

New York, Dec. 4.-"President
Roosevelt took Panama by storm said
Theodore P. Shonts. chairman of the
Panama canal commission, who arrived
on the Colon from Colon. Mr.. Shonts
said:
president Roosevelt simply took the
people of Panama by storm. The set
ting aside of all precedents by the
president in his visit to Panama won
instant admiration. Mr.. Roosevelt was
familiar with the work theoretically
and saw and understood more during
his short stay than the average man
would in several months. The building
of the canal is to President Roosevelt
as the building of a future home would
be to any other man. He looks upon 1t
as his own personal work, having been
given carte blanche by congress.
During the presidents trip through
the canal zone one of the leading citi-
zens asked : what he thought of the
criticisms Written by Poultney Bigelow.
The president swered. Small peO-
pie like small flies, despoil large things
and large enterprises.
I'm the presidents speech at Colon
the thing that won the hearts of the
canal workers and the people was his
statement The men who are now
working on the canal and the citizens
of Panama who are assisting them viii
go down to posterity like the veterans
of the Civil war. When this great work
is completed the men who have been
instrumental in its success viii look
backward and say: I was part of it,
as do the veterans of the Civil war
when they look with pride at the great
united nation This did more to en-
dear the president and the United
States in general to the people than
anvtFfnsy else he could have said
Mr.. Shonts declared that reports of
labor troubles in the canal zone were
absolutely untrue. He said.
s.The work on the canal was never in
hatter condition. The men are con-
tented and the work is going ahead
very fast

F0RAkER'S STAND.
Senator Explains His Resolution Di-
rccted at the President.

washington, Dec. 4.-Senator Foraker
Is disposed to question the constitution
aAty Of the president convicting any
man of felony by order" and in the
same manner imposing sentence and
infiicting punishment

the president and the secretary of war,
respectively, We're introduced in the
senate yesterday by Senators Penrose
and Foraker.

the dismissal of battalion of negro
troops at Fort Reno, o. T., on account
OF the affair at Brownsville, Tex.
The Foraker resolution, addressed to
the secretary of war, directs that Off

official letters, kilograms reports and
orders filed with the war department
IN connection with the recent discharge
sof the troops in question, together with
a complete list of the men discharged.
showing the record of each, and the
amount of retired pay each was entitled
to.
The ruling of the department is asked
on this or any other similar case re-
garding the right of the men to such
retired pay; also the ruling of the de-
partment as to the right of such dis
charged men to retire on three-fourths
pay, with allowance, subsistence and
clothing; their rights to enter the Ma
tional Soldiers homes: to be buried in
a national cemetery; to receive subsist-
ence and transportation from the place
of discharge to their homes; also the
complete official record of the Twenty
fifth regiment of infantry from the time
Of it's muster-in to the date of the dis
charge of the companies mentioned.
Senator Foraker explained the puI-
poses of his resolution as follows:
I will say, however, I have no pur-
pose of raising the race question 1t is
question of constitutional power on
the one hand and constitutional and
statutory rights on the other. Until we
have complete record, do not know
just what questions will arise, but we
may have to consider whether a man
can be convicted of felony by order and
whether, following such a conviction,
sentence may be imposed and punish
ment inflicted by order
Discharges without honor may be
granted where they are not based on
an offense against the law of the land
the commission of wh-~A is denied and
where no punishment follows. But
where there is conviction, sentence and
punishment l have always supposed
there would have to be also trfa' either
in a civil court or in a court-martial or
before some other tribunal thereunto
duly appointed by law. But it is idle
to discuss any os these questions until
we know whether they are raised by
the record. -

Mr.. Sheppard of Texas Introduces a
Bill in the House.

Washington, Dec. 4.-One of the first

incomes from $4,000 to $4,000: of 3 per
cent on incomes between $1,000 and
SIG. coo: of per cent on incomes be-
tween $4,000 and $32, 600: of per cent
