Skowhegan, Maine, May 4. Mrs.
Sarah Gale of this town is II years
old and has a pet cat.
The cat brought a live mouse in
to the kitchen where Mrs. Gale was
sitting last Wednesday and began
to play with it. Mrs. Gale drowsed
with her mouth open.
The mouse revived enough to try
to escape, ran into Mrs. Gales lap
and up her waist into her mouth.

Monroe Infirmary.

Cass county has joined the pro-
gress association by disposing of its
poor farm and by getting ready to
build a county infirmary. That
relic of barbarism, the county poor
farm, is rapidly disappearing from
grand new Missouri.-Brookfield
Gazette.
Monroe County will pay for an
infirmary, but it will be ten miles
from nowhere, in the woods, over
bad roads and on the poor farm.

COLLEGE Graduates.

AS the final examinations in High
schools, colleges and universities
are now on, considerable interest
attaches to the graduates of these
institutions. In the Bowery bread
line in New York City a few nights
since there were found to be thirty
nine men who were college or uni
versity graduates. A night or two
later 400 college graduates were
found scattered along the Bowery,
engaged in various questionable oc-
equations. These figures were mad e
up by a sociological investigating
committee, and are correct, says the
Quincy Herald.

In another column you will
find the city's financial statement
for year beginning May 7, 1908 and
ending May 7, 1903 and connected
with that statement is one that is
remarkable, so remarkable that we
ask: Is there another town of
2,5000 inhabitants in Missouri or
the Sun Flower State of Kansas
that can or does make the same
showing.
For period of time named, there
has been sixteen dollars ($16) in
fines assessed and collected.
We are not foolish enough to say
it is because there are two saloons
in the city, but make this statement
The fines are not one-tenth as
much as they were when there was
no saloons in the city and the past
statements made by city officers,
which are now city history, of city's
revenues prove the statement to
be correct.
