WOULD KILL CATS
TO SAVE THE BIRDS,
BUT OFFEND LADIES

Bostn, Mass, July 13.-If State Orni-
biologist Edward Howe Furbush has
his way not a cat will be left within
the state of Massachusetts next year.
In his annual report to the governor to-
day, after commenting on the depreda-
tons of felines In general, he winds up
with the startling request that the
legislature empower him or some other
state department to kill off the cats
within the state.
"To get the most good out of the
state" he says. 1--WE must kill the cats.
They destroy thousands Of birds each
year, working irreparable injury to
crops, besides through infection being
mainly responsible for the spread OF
cholera, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and
smallpox and a hundred other dis
eases"

Nellie I said, and you will be all right, too, after a while Yes I will be all right she said, trying to smile again-'all right, l hope for 1 am going to die.' No, she said to the young doctor fellow who came up just then with his cigarette case and wanted to put some morphine in her arm, I want to keep my head clear for the little while I've got to stay. 'Tom,' she said, motioning me to come nearer to her. I am going to make a die of it this time. l want to tell you something before I go, and I want you to promise me something-it's about Sadie. I lied to you when I said she didn't belong to me. She is my child-and his-and now he Is dead, and I am going to die, too. I want you to care for her and bring her up as your very own. You will, won't you? Don't tell her anything about this; keep it from her and she will forget 1t after a while. Tell her l was a good wo- man-she will like that. It hasn't been my fault if I haven't been one, has it?-only my luck. Oh if I had only married you instead of him! If l had only married you and lived down there where it is always cool-sweet and pure.'
 And she went to sleep just that way, whileeI sat there holding her hand and never knew she was dead until the doctor came round and said so.
 Well I guess that's about all. I saw to everything, and then I put Sadie in the convent, where they will look after her all right until l can buy that ranch. It's bound to come some day, and then l am going to take the kid down there to live, and when I do I am going to sprinkle every foot of that ranch with a prayer that harm shall pass her by, so she may grow up pure and good, and be the woman God intended Nellie should be-"

SHE NEARLY KNEW HIM!
Girl Who Lived Across the Street Tells
 Memories of Rockefeller.

They were talking about our neighbor across the way, says Clara Morris, in the September Delineator, I did not know him, I did not even know his name but I heard MT. Herrick say, ''I tell you, l feel it in my very bones that some day that young man is going to hold one of the worlds great fortunes in his grip!"
 Mir Wade, as he dragged his great chair up to it, said bit sharply:
 'Herrick is taking a long look ahead perhaps, but" A silence fell then distinctly heard the three slow taps of his forefinger on the bare table, as he finished with emphasis, That man-will go far-watchf'
 The clock struck, my mothers toe touched me warningly. I arose fairly trembling with excited interest in the man who was going to be very wealthy. who lived right across the street. and who was going far" Even in that first confusion of thought, l almost prayed he might not start before I could see him. l was determined to stalk the fasenat- ing man, who, like the fairy prince, was going forth to make his mark; to win a great fortune and to Ego far" How far? Where to? Would he ever come back?
 At last I saw him; very tall very slen- der very far or else very pale; he seemed a very young grown-up. He came quickly down to the gate and paused aa instant-and then swift panic came upon me, and I turned and fled.
 By constant watching I came to know the small tricks of manner and move Nment of the man who would "go far' He was always very, very neat He all ways stepped out of the door quickly, then gave himself a swift glance over, laid an Investigating finger on his black tie, stretched out an arm and brushed his sleeve with a stroke of his palm, and then started swiftly for the gate.
 Now every other resident of our street either left their gate swinging or banged it violently behind them. But the~man who was going far" always stepped on to the sidewalk, turned, drew the gate towards him, then with both hands lifted 1t slightly and latched it silently and was off, his long legs reminding me of compasses.
 And once, just once as mother and and MT. Herrick were walking, the tall young man met us fairly and paused MT Herrick looked up. smiled, raised hand to his hat and said pleasantly An, good evening, MT. Rockefeller

VACANCIES ON THE TICKET
Fave Seldom Occurred, but Provision
 Should Be Made Therefor.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 The brief illness of our popular vice. presidential candidate from New York State, James s. Sherman, brought up the question of the way in which nationaal ticket could be filled if. by any means. vacancy on it should take place between the nomination and the election. The na- tional committee would probably fill the vacancy in the case of the vice-presiden- tial candidate, but 1t would be 1oath to do this in the case of the presidential nominee If a sufficient time intervened before the election, the committee would probably reconvene the national conyen- tion and that body would make a new nomination.
 No presidential candidate of a great party has ever declined to accept the nomination. aftSe 1t was made, but this has happened in the case of vice-presi- dential candidates. When the democrat ic convention of 1844 nominated Silas Wright, of New York, for vice-presdent on the ticket with Polk, with the hope of placating the intimate friends of Van Buren, who had been defeated for the presidential nomination by the operation of the two-thirds barrier, he immediate ly and peremptorily declined; and the convention, which was still In session. had to select another man. It put up George M. Dallas, of Pennsylvania, The Northern section of the Democracy in 1860 nominated Benjamin Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, for vice-president on the Douglas ticket but he declined after the convention had adjourned. Then the tional committee selected Herschell V. Johnson of Georgia. John Langdon, of New Hampshire, declined the proffered yice-presidential nomination in 1872 on the Madison ticket, but the nomination had not actually been made at that time The congressional caucus, which did the nominating in those days, then selected Elbridge Gerry.
 Happily there will be no occasion for the exercise of any such contingent pow CT this year by either committee or con- vention, but 1t would be well for the na- tiona1 convention of 1912 to take into con- ! sideration the possibility of the creation of a vacancy on either end of the ticket during the campaign and outline the way in which it could be supplied These are days of high pressure on candidates for high office, and the chances of acci- dents and emergencies should be taken into the account

OF the churches. / know a OF small
Minnesota town where there are ten
mis- courts on the church lots and in
Washington D. G. there is league OF
church bali teams. These are begin
min gs along the right line.
Now the minister cannot do all
this. We must help. We expect the
churches to do certain things and we
complain sometimes that they are not
doing them, but what are we doing to
help? We may as well complain of
the ineficiency or corruption of pub
lie officials when we fail to attend tie
caucus or to vote as to complain of
the churches we do not attend. We
might see faults or omissions for
which we could offer a remedy and
rest assured such suggestions would
be welcomed.
The pastor wants and needs your
support. His sermons are written
for you but too often you are not
here. He prepares special address
to young men, the day is fine and the
menfish. His sermon costing much
study and effort is aimed to especially
aid young women, and::it rains. So we
complacently 60 on allowing anything
of passing interest to keep US away.
The sermon to empty benches or to a
half filed room is never so good. A
sermon or a speech is co Elaboration,
and benches do not co-labor.
The minister needs our financial
support and the churches need it. We
need a moral awakening to- the fact
that salvation is not free and the man
who is glad it is sponger. The SER
mon will be worth that much more to
you who help to pay for it. If this
work is worth doing, and we think it
is, we should MAKE our church pre-
ferred creditor. The sermons are al
ways better when we so manage our,
business that the minister may fear
lessly face the grocer. Do you want
to pay your share? Do you believe
in the churches. now much?
My young friends of whatever age,
some of the things I have suggested
we are now trying to do,-others I
hope public sentiment and support
will later justify. Are you with us?
So long as we neglect to choose
whether church affiliation is worth
while, we have already chosen that it
is not. I will tell you a business Sc
cret, which isn't so very secret after
all. Business men put more depend
ence in the employee who has church
affiliations just as they rapidly lose
confidence in the frequenter OF sa-
looms, the gambler on races and
kindred places. The church going
habit pays from whatever standpoint
you choose to view it. My young

john Coleman Dead.

Another of the very early settlers
of Stevens county died on Sunday,
July 9Th, when John Coleman passed
away after being sick for about
month with kidney trouble.
Mr.. Coleman was 81 years, one
month and one day of age at the time
of his death. He was born in County
Mayo, Ireland, and came to this
country about 1869, spending some
time first in New York, and later
living for three years in St. Paul. In
1874, he came to this county and
homesteaded the farm in the town
ship of Darnen, where he has since
passed her life. In 1882, he was mar
ried to Miss Margaret Welsh, who to-
gether with seven children survive
him. The surviving children are
Peter, Dan, Mary, Margaret, Patrick,
Johnny and James. All of them are
still at home. He is also survived by
a brother, Dan, in the old country,
and his cousin, Mark Coleman, also
resident of Darnen.
The funeral was held from the
Assumption church on Tuesday, July
7th, and was attended by many friends
and neighbors, who extend condol-
ences to the sorrowing wife and
children. Mr.. Coleman has been
hard working and useful member of
the community, and enjoyed the re-
spect and confidence of large circle
of friends.
