VIII XII Rats ONLY.

A party Of rat exterminators, bound
for Little Cumbrae, an island in the
Firth of Clyde, belonging to Lord Rute,
recently left London. They carried
with them a special preparation
which, its inventors say, while harm
less to other animals, will kill any
rat that tastes it. Little Cumbrae is
a sparsely populated island, ovcrrun
by thousands Of rodents, which terri
fy the few inhabitants there are. The
new rat poison is not unlike bread.
1t is saturated with a microbe that
has a fatal effect on rats only. A child
can eat 1t with impunity; q dog and
cat have eaten a large quantity with
no Ill results; but a rat will die soon
after 1t has tasted the first morsel, 4

"The Yellow Doc Fund.D

The death of ANDY Hamilton, of
life insurance fame, at Albany, N. Y.
revives the exposure about the expen-
diture of "the yellow dog fund" 1t
will be remembered that Hamilton
created a sensation by charging that
he had paid Cornelius N. Bliss, the
treasurer Of the Republican National
committee, $4,000, and exhibited the
voucher signed by Bliss, although
Bliss had denied receiving that or any
other amount. The Republicans will
have to rely upon the tariff-protected
trusts and other corporations for their
yellow dog fund" this year, as the life
insurance COW is dried up as far as
political contributions r concerned.

Suddenly the clerk reversed the card

Then there was a small riot. Shop

"In what way?" asked the meek man
who was waiting for his wife TO

FooIinu the People.

The Republican leaders have the
tariff revision issue all fixed up to
their satisfaction, with the evident in
tention of fooling the people again.
No such dangerous method as a tariff
commission is to be attempted, but
the whole matter is to be within the
keeping of the stand-patters of the
committee on ways and means Of the
house of representatives and the
finance committee of the senate. Ac-
cording to the New York Tribune,
which is undoubtedly in the conf
dence Of the Republican leaders, the
tariff program is to be carried out by
congress giving those committees au-
thority to hold sessions in the recess
and conduct such examination into the
tariff schedules as may be deemed
wise in view of the approaching revi-
sion" This is the way the Washing.
ton correspondent of the Tribune un.
derstands the pins have been set up,
President Roosevelt is to contribute
his share" of this Republican conspir
acy for revising the tariff higher by
detailing a committee Of appraisers
collectors and "other treasury ex
perts' to supply statistics and "sug
gestions."
That will be what the Republicans
call revising the tariff by the friends
of protection, and we have the assur
anc of Secretary Root and the othel
Republican leaders that the intention
is to add to the present schedules
maximum rates to be imposed on tn,

What is the use of promises of tariff
reduction If the revision is to be fl

Benjamin's Temperance

New York is smiling and the immi-
grafton officials are frowning at the
persistence with which Benjamin AK
clrod. the sixtccn-year-old Russian
lad. is endeavoring to establish himself
on American soil For the sixth
time he has left Odessa. with few ko-
pecks in his pocket. and has slowed
himself on board an bound
ship. He has been deported on sew
eral occasions. Then the officials de-
cided to place Benjamin in charge OF
his uncles. but ''swect sixteen proved
incorrigible and the avuncular influ-
ence was powerless Now that the lad
has made his sixth journey. the immi
grafton officials appear to be in ia
vor of placing Axelrod under proper
influence. in the hope that it may help
to mould the stowaway into a citizen
worthy of American freedom. What
the shipping companies have said re
garding this uninvited passenger is
not recorded.
The case of this persistent immi-
grant is doubtless typical of others
who would cmigrate were facilities Of
fered them. Here was IA lad in his
sixteenth year buried. as it wcrc in
dull village near Odessa. A lad who's"
horizon was limited and unchanging:
to whom tomorrow would always
be as "today." Then there filtered
through this Jewish village tales of
the great outer world that lay beyond:
stories of vast cities and gigantic for
tunes made with wonderful rapidity
The latent Jewish spirit of restlessness
then asserted itself, and we find the
lad stealing away. maybe under cover
of darkness, willing to brave all. in
order to reach the promised land
America So in New York he remains.
His journeyings to and fro are doubt.

er of three small children, ranging
in ages from three TO eight years.
1t is not known at exactly what
hour the victim swallowed the poison.
The physician arrived about 4 o'clock
Thursday morning, and his opinion
was that the poison had been in her
stomach for about four hours. The
use of a stomach pump and hypoderm-
ic injections failed to overcome the
poison and life slowly ebbed away.
The deceased was born in this coun-
ty near Waldo. Her father, Jacob
Reiner, is living and is a highly re-
spected man. Mrs. Thornbury was
kind to her children and although
seemingly worried constantly about
something, she was never thought to
be in demented condition. Be-

Franklin street, survives.
Funeral services will be conducted
from the home Sunday afternoon.
