Weekly. London. The faculty Of al
ways falling on the feet is one which
is especially developed. he claims, by
climbing and leaping animals. in
which category are included all the cat
tribe, monkeys. squirrels, rats and
most lemurs. The instinct is born in
them and the act of twisting is per.
formed without any conscious effort on
the part of the animal.
The opinion is that the tail plays an
important part in the turning process.
All tree-fnhabiting monkeys have long
tails" said this authority, "and there
Is not the slightest doubt that the tail
Is of the greatest possible advantage to
all climbers in helping them to turn.
1t also acts as good balancer. You
may see a squirrel walk along tight.
ly stretched wire or string swinging
Its tail from side to side, just as
tight-rope walker balances his pole.
Some years ago had some rats
whose tails had been cut off, and they
were not such good climbers as ordi-
nary rats. And 1t is just the same
with monkeys; those which have not
long tails are not so good at climbing
and cannot leap to the same extent. It
Is noticeable that monkeys which have
given up climbing trees have lost their
tails"

FEEDING THE BIRDS.

Here in Minnesota the winters are
very cold en- the snow is very deep.
This winter has been an unusually
cold and snowy one. On May 1 we
had blizzard, which lasted three
days. Before this We had been hav.
ing some warm weather, and the rob-
ms, ground sparrows, bluebirds and
some tinches were here. A pair VI
robins had already Quilt nest in
our crane trellis, and mad eggs IN
it. When this blizzard came they
were unable to find food, and the rob-
ins gave up their nest because the
eggs were frozen and the mother
robin had to find shelter and food.
Every morning before breakfast dur.
ing the storm Auntie and would go
out and sweep off pieces for the birds
to stand on while they ate the food
we scattered for them. We also put
food in the woodshed for them and
left the door open. They had always
been rather shy before, especially
the robins, but on account of hunger,
I suppose. and to get warmth, they
flew back and forth, to and from the
woodshed, boldly eating the food. AZ
ter the storm many birds were found
dead on the roads because no food
or shelter could be obtained. l wish
my little friends would all remember
to care for the birds in the storms
of spring when food is scarce. l
hope this letter will be acceptable;
If SO, will write again.-Esther II.

Tho south and Taft.

No southern man expects the Presi-
dent, grounded as he undoubtedly Is
in Republicanism, to sacrifice his faith
in order to curry favor with the south.
The south would hardly respect him
If he did.
The south. however, asks only one
thing of the President, and that is.
that in making official selections he
choose the men most qualified, whe-
ther they be Democrats or Republi-
cans. Especially do they expect him
to do this in judicial appointments.
If capable Republicans can be found
for such positions in the south, south
ern Democrats will expect and APP
prove their appointment. If, on the
other hand, the Presidents party is
devoid of the right material, they ma
turally hope for the appointment Of
men of their political faith. 1t is i'm
portant that judicial positions be fill
ed by the most capable men in the
several districts and circuits, because
the judicial officer stands in differ
ent light toward the people to the oc.
cupant of merely political office.
President Taft is showing apprecia.
tive consideration of the south and
its interests, but he will not be any
the less a Republican because Of tt

Taft Nh. Face the ropulace.


1t is President Taft, not the Senate

The Senate made no promises. Presi-
dent Taft must either veto the tariff
bill or prove to the people, face to

promises were made. that the tariff
bill which he signs is substantial

There is but one test clearly In
telligible to the plain people to whom
the promise was made; whether Mrs
John Smith, frugal housewife OF Spo-
kane, gets her sugar next year cheap

his barn next year substantially
cheaper; whether the underclothes.
the stockings. the wooden winter suits,
and the other items that make up
100000 household budgets, are, next
year, substantially cheaper. This, and
this alone, will make the difference
when Mr.. Taft makes his next trip

The signs arr portents are ominous
Of an accommodation between the
President and the stand-pat leaders in
Congress under the terms of which he
will come out shorn of the honors as
well as the spoils of war. There can
be no serious claim that the Senate
project is other than mockery of
what the President has repeatedly In
sisted that revision must be in order
to meet the equities of the case and
retain for his party the respect of
the country.
So to pretend is to add insult to
injury, so far as the public is con-
cerned, but Mr.. Taft cannot afford to
advance a plea which even Aldrich,
Lodge and Penrose are ashamed to
hide behind. The issue as presented
has been interpreted once and again

no middle ground for him between a

SOME MARRIED MED1rAT1oNs.
By clarenc. I. Cullen.

You'll never get more than one view
Of the face of the woman who has but
one cheek dimple.
Ever notice the constrained smile
OF the woman whose upper front mo-
lars are all pivot teeth.
Some women's idea of facing adver-
sity is to pay 10 cents for the hair
nets that they formerly paid two bits
for.
When she sees woman friend bear
bands going to law is that 1t affords

A woman considers 1T sacrileglous
to visit a cemetery without crying a
little, even If nobody she ever knew
is buried there.
What she chiefly likes about the
forgiving business Is that usually
you're moved to buy her something
for forgiving you.
What some women like most about
settlement work is that 1t gives them
chance to look sad and sweet when
they talk about It.
When q woman wants to deprecate
another woman's attire she puts 1t
something like this: "Your little
dress Is quite nice. This year's?"
1t isn't meant at all. but is pure
bamboozling bunk. when she exclaims.
my, how grand and strong you are!"
after you've helped her from the sad.
die or some other elevated perch.
Have you noticed how her eyes be-
come suffused with dreamy wistful-
ness when she's reading about the d.
vorce f1gurante who says she never
wears the same $500 gown twice?
Ever notice the patronizing hauteur
of the woman with the corsage bou-
qust of orchids when she espies an
other woman with the corsage bou-

It's queer why woman with a
14x2O back yard. containing a tired
looking rose bush and a few holly
hooks, should imagine that she needs
garden shears. gardening gloves and
sunbonnet.
When a woman wants to intimate
that the just-taken photograph of a
sister-woman is flattering one, she
puts it something like this: "Um-
ye-es, it is quite pleasing-but rather
unduly idealized, don't you think, my
dear?"

TIA. the Tarln Trust.

At any other time adoption by the
Senate of measure like President
Taft's corporation tax scheme would
be heralded as an event of supreme
importance. Now 1t is regarded as
mere incident in The process of tariff
readjustment.
This shows to what extent the me-
cessity for reduction of tariff burdens
absorbs the interest of the people.
Not even a raid on corporation incomes
can draw their attention from the one
crucial issue. with which the admins.
tration has pledged itself to deal.
The people realize that the corpora.
tion that most needs curDing Is the
great tariff protected monopoly Of
which Senator Aldrich Is the humble
servant. They are not SO deeply in
terested in taxing minor concerns as
in the question whether this huge
combination shall longer be permitted
to levy tribute on the whole country.

Now, little girl. must amuse your

But mother had to go, for 1t was
nearly II o'clock, and dinner would
not be ready when father came If she
did not begin to get 1t right away.
When mother went out to the kitch.
en- Mabel cried louder than ever.
Then. in naughty fit Of anger, she
threw all the playthlngs on the floor.
The pretty book fell partly open,
crumping the fresh, clean pages.
while poor dolly went down with a
crash that came near breaking her
china head. The balloon bounded
across the floor and bumped against
kitty's pink nose as she lay asleep
on the rug. The cats green eyes
were wide open in an instant, staring
at the big, round red thing lying on
the carpet close by. He soon rose to
get a nearer view, and, walking all
around the balloon, shifted at it dain.
tily.
Then he gave it a gentle pat with
his paw and jumped little when the
balloon rolled to one side.
Looking at the balloon, with his
head cunningly on one side, kit would
nat it first with one paw, and then.
bounding after it as it rolled about,
tap it with the other paw. BY and
by he gave it such smart tap that
his sharp claw pierced the rubber,
and the balloon burst with loud
pop. Such surprised pussy cat you
never saw. He spit and jumped to
one side, archipg his back and puff
ing out his tail from fright. Mabel
jumped, too. just a tiny bit. and
then she laughed so merrily that her
mother peeped in the door to see
what amused her little girl SO much.
