A certain small boy much given to
punctuating his remarks with the in
terrogation point rather exceeded him
self the other day. All morning and
all afternoon did he keep up steady
fire OF questions If it wasn't why
does the wind blow" it was What
makes the leaves green or How
many drops of water are there in the
ocean," At last his poor long suffer
ing mother could stand it no longer,
and shortly before dinner she hustled
him off to bed and told him TO stay
there until he could break himself of
the foolish troublesome habit of ask
ing questions But the child safe in
bed and the house quiet. the mother
began to repent How cross she had
been. how impatient and how unwise
and unmotherly it was to thus check
the aspirations of the childish mind for
useful knowledge. Here was this
young growing intellect. eager TO reach
out and grasp whatever was of inter
est and value. and here was she, TO
whose charge that young intellect had
been committed, Sinking her duty. At
this stage in her reflections the mother
rose and, repairing to her sons bed
side. told him that he wasn't such a
dreadful boy, after all, and that if he
had any more questions to ask she
would do her best TO answer them.
''All right" replied the little boy
''Mamma, how far can a cat spit?'

CUBA FOR CUBANS
IN SPRING OF 1903
Taft Fixes Time of the Ameri-

WRITES TO PRESIDENT,

Washington, January l4-As far as
he can, Secretary Taft has commit
ted the American Government to a
promise to withdraw completely from
Cuba in the beginning of the spring
Of 1909. This pledge is contained in
a letter from the War Secretary To
the President, transmitting the report
of Governor Masoon for the last year.
After declaring that the report from
the Governor shows the conditions in
Cuba TO be encouraging. secretary
Taft says: 1t was hoped by some
that the census might be completed
in September last. | did not think so.
and | am not at all surprised 10 learn
that the census has not yet been COM
pleted and probably will not be until
April or May. This will postpone the
local elections until June, the presi-
dental election until December. and
the installation of the President and
Congress and the turning over Of the
island until about March or April of
1909. This is in compliance with our
promise when We assumed temper
AIRY control of Cuba, and it seems TO
me that We ought 10 allow nothing to
interfere with carrying out that prom
Use. There are important interests
that would be glad to delay our stay
there for years, but good faith and
good policy both, in my judgment. re-
quiure us to leave at the time appoint
ed"
The report of Governor Magoon con-
stitutes an exhaustive history OF the
American intervention in Cuba and Of
the passage of the island under Amer
fcan control.

COMMON CARRIERS
OF DISEASE GERMS
Ministers, Dogs and Cats Are
Blamed.

Chicago. Jan. 14.-"Potent factors in
the spread of disease are dogs. cats,
ministers, physicians and undertake
ers."
In this way County Physician Ar
thur II. Reading summed up the prob
lem of cOntagion at the conference on
public health.
Cats and dogs visit the sick room
and carry in their hair the germs of
disease-animal which. if minute, are
quite as ferocious as lions or tigers,
said Dr. Reading. doctors visit their
patients and frequently go directly TO
see other patients without SO much as
washing their hands. Minister'S i'll Wis
iting the sick, and undertakers, in the
course of business, are common car
riers Of cOntagion. There may be
some excuse for the minister, but the
doctor and the undertaken should
know better"

MIR. Littleton's speech fairly bristled
with surprises. He startled the
courtroom by declaring that after Ev-

Harry Thaw's Character.

Harry Thaw was peculiar instru-
ment from his birth. He was on the
verge of infirmity. Sleepless nights
he passed III the arms of his nurses
and mother, He had a nervous insta-
bility and infirmity. But though
weak. as many of you know, he was
active in mind. He spent his infanck
with sleeplesS, wide-eyed nights. Al
three months he had brain fever. at
five months commissions, and so his
youth went on until between d and :
he had 81. NituS's dance.
At six he could not talk. His first
teacher Belle Morehouse Lawrence,
las come here to tell you of it. She
las come clear across the continent for
hat purpose She loved the boy and
tried to help him.
"A man named Beck. who was also
Thaw'S teacher at a boarding school,
would also be called. Thaw was then
II years of age. He acted so insane
that he had to be sent home.
AT the age of 16, in the Wooster
university, the teachers made entries
in their note books of his abnormal
characteristics.
