The CAT AND THE BABY.
A Medical Opinion as to the Tradition
of a Feline Danger.

A Medical Opinion as to the Tradition
of Feline Danger.
Several physicians have Investigated
the ancient story that cats suck the
breath of babies, and DR.. J. Rice Gibbs
declares that the theory is ridiculous.
Cats occasionally kill children, he de-
clares. but they do it in a different
fashion.
1T has been stated that a cats nos
trils are so formed as to make a per-
feet juncture with the nose of a baby"
said DR.. Gibbs. and that little pres
sure would push them upward and
make them a perfect fit. Then the
cats chin would rest over and below
the baby's mouth, preventing it from
opening to relieve the strangulation
while the cat sucked it's breath. That
is all rot. The manner in which lit
tie children are killed by cats is this:
A cat looking for a warm place to
curl up and sleep lies down upon the
chest of a little child. and, being quite
heavy-many cats are as heavy as
little babies simply brushes the breath
out Of the child's lungs, and strangu-
lation takes place, but not through
sucking of the child's breath
1.-THE idea that only black cats kill
little babies is equally ridiculous. 1t
is simply because black cats are con-
s1dered unlucky. In former times the
black cat was considered the very
genius OF witchcraft. In those days
when baby died the blame was often
fixed upon some bag who, the judges
said. had sent black cat to suck the
baby's breath. And often bag and cat
suffered death at the stake
EVIL omen is still the. cry in many
parts of the world whenever a black
cat approaches a cradle. Many per.
sons are so superstitious that the ap-
pearance of black cat in sick room
Is considered equivalent to an an
nouncement of approaching death
What could be more absurd?
Mothers need not be afraid of cats.

This country is years behind almost
every other civilized country in such
matters. We kill men in Industry by
the tens OF thusands every year, simply
because the so called captains of in
dustry find that men are cheaper than
accident prevention. A little less
shrieking of the eagle and waving of
the flag and grandstanding generally
every time some fellow is shot for
sticking his nose into the other fellows

and little more earnest effort to
solve some of our vital home problems
by the statesmen and near statesmen
down in Washington, would give
quality to the eagles scream that
would nightly tickle the ear of the
average man.

Minnesota pioneers will be mustered

General S. P. Jennison, one of the
pioneers of Minnesota, Governor
Ramsey's private secretary in 1861, a
valiant Union soldier during the Re-
bellion, and a pretty good politician
of the old republican school, died very
suddenly near Los Angeles, CAL, of
heart failure. He was private secre-
tary to four governors in Minnesota
and was secretary of state from 1872
TO 1875. He was editor of the Red
Wing Republican for several years.
He was also an entertaining stump
speaker, Astounding in anecdotes and
odd illustrations. He had lived in
California a number of years and had
become quite prominent in the citrus
fruit business. He was over seventy
years of age and a good citizen.

Candidates for the Republican
nomination for state treasurer are
plentiful. The End district has Louis
G. Vogel of our city who is at present
auditor of Brown Co. He was can
didate for the nomination at the
Duluth convention three years ago
when Dinehart was first nominated.
John Sheeny of Montgomery, for
many years treasurer of the A. o. H.,
is another. He lives in the Sd district.
Henry G. Hanke of Minneapolis is the

gressional district except the 9Th and

nomination..

The Piano virtuoso's Hands.

Contrary to popular belief. the piano

attractive hands. 1.-The artistic hand"
Is phrase peculiar to the hysterical
young woman who haunts musical re-
citals, but in reality the hand of the
pianist is not at all artistic or beauti-
full when judged by the usual stand
ards of the artist, the painter or the
sculptor.
Constant. vigorous practicing over

Two adventurous soldiers of for
tunes, who happened to be American
citizens, we're shot by orders of the
president of Nicaragua. The govern
ment at Washington got busy at once;
the big chiefs stuck their heads to-
gether and soon warships, marines
and large quantities of hot air were
hurled at the devoted head Of one
Zelaya. Fine! Great! No real Amer
lean cicizen can ask less of his govern
ment than that it stand back of every
citizen in whatever part of the world
he may happen to be, says the st.
Paul Daily News.
But somehow we can not see any
great difference in value between the
lives of any two of the hundreds of
miners who were killed at Cherry some
time ago and the two men who were at
Nicaragara. Any difference seems to
be in favor of the miners. Yet up to
now we have heard no great noise out
of Washington about that mine dis
aster! We wonder how long it will be
before the men charged with the duty
Of making and enforcing the law in
this country will continue blind and
deaf to the underlying cause Of such
tragedies as Cherry. Last year three
out of every 1000 miners in the United
States we're killed. In Belgium less
than one out of 5000 was killed. In
Belgium they have an accident insur-
ance law which charges againss the
mine owners the care Of the widows
and orphans Of killed miners. The
mine owners of Belgium can't afford
to kill their miners, so they do every
thing possible to guard against it.

In these days of snowfalls and the
consequent impossible paths and side
walks it comes like pleasant surprise
to note how some of our broadminded
and patriotic people turn out to clear
the walks not only in front of their
own premises but also extend their
helpfullness beyond their own proper
Jy lines. Thus it is noted how Mr..
Durbahn on state str. has kept the
sidewalks clear for several blocks
between the churches on that street,
affording the church attendants a
comparatively passable way to their
respective places of worship. In the
lower end Of the town our fellow citi-
zen Fred Behnke has made it prac-
tice in recent years to send a snow
pillow down Minnesota str. and up
other streets to accommodate the school
children and other pedestrians on their
way to town. These deeds of neigh
'borliness have repeatedly been evil
denced in several parts of our city.
1t is the more praiseworthy when it is
remembered that these deeds of kind
ness emanate from citizens who never
expect public recognition. Mayor
Graf too has set an example we'll
worth following, by personally mount
ing snow pillow during the blizzard
OF a week ago and again last Sunday.
Such acts of unselfshness may not
cause extraordinary effort but yet add
a great deal of comfort to an appre-
~ciative and grateful community.

"A DiScredited Muck Raker.

We just naturally despise Francis
J. Heney. We don't like his style of
man, and we don't like his "work."
Therefore we admire the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, printed at the scene
of Heney's greatest exploit, which
says:
''The opposition to Heney, which
come from the men who have the best
interests of San Francisco at heart, is
founded on the belief that he is not
fitted by temperament or training to
secure the conviction of any one, no
snatter how heinous his crimes. Had
he shown his ability to make good he
would have had the support of the
community, but from the beginning it
has been apparent that he is incapable
OF conducting prosecution to sue
cessful conclusion, and that his only
accomplishments are in the direction
of causing extravaganza public expen-
'diture which brings no return and of
placing San Francisco in false po-
>sition before the outside world, which
thinks we are still under the rule of a
lot of grafters.'
Ii distance gives perspective, the
Atlanta Constitution should be clear
eyed on the overturn at the Golden
Gate. The Constitution says: It will
of course, be commended that the cor
rupt elements OF the city united to
defeat the scrapping District Attorney.
But their combined influence could
not have been sufficient to account for
the adverse vote which brings the
activities Of Mr.. Heney to an abrupt
malt. A more logical theory is that
the constant scolding and the inces-
SAINT bitterness and denunciation and
near-muckraking indispensable to
crusades of this nature, got on the
nerves of the wearied San Francis
~cans.''
We despise any man who plays the
Heney game, and We despise any
newspaper which is willing to embroii
ats community in an unnecessary row
in order to gain circulation. Such
ssnen and such newspapers are not
worthy, and rarely accomplish results
-of permanent value. -Atchison Globe.

bit complicated, but it isn't at all

he oughtn't to be voting at all.

GIFT TO NATIONAL FUND.

The directors of the Jewish Colonial
Trust or the Zionist Bank, announce
that Baron Rothchild, of Paris, treasur-
err of a fund collected for the relief of
suffering Roumanian Jews some years
ago, has turned over to the Jewish Ma
tienal Fund $4,000 marks, the surplus
remaining after the purpose of the
fund has been fulfilled. The Jewish
National Fund was established by the
Zionist organization. The fund was
legalized at the Fifth Zionist Congress.
1t is intended for the exclusive purpose
of buying land in Palestine. The fund
is derived from the use of stamps and
100000 marks. 1t was Incorporated

FOR A FREE SYNAGOGUE.

A movement has been started to
make Temple Israel of st. Louis free
synagogue, supported entirely by vol
untary contributions. 1t is impossible,
of course, to have free church unless
it is free from debt and so the first
step in this movement is to pay off the
existing debt of $4,000. Seventeen
of the members have contributed $780,
600, seven of them giving $4,000 each,
and it is expected that the remainder
will soon be secured. There Is no free
synagogue in the United States, per-
haps not in the world One is in con-
temptation in New York, but not yet
built. Temple Israel wishes to set an
example to the whole country in open
ing the doors wide to all people Iii
spiritual fellowship, and thus to pro-
mote democracy and equality in re-
ligion.

we do insist that each and every one
of them should be affiliated with
congregation, local charitable insti-
tuition, lodge of the B'nai Birth and
if they can stand the further expense
a fraternal benefit association is not
a bad addition.
1t is only a question of time when
the elders will have passed away and
it will be up to" the young men
to do something and they had as well
to- start NOW!
The Indifference of the young man

Rev. Blumenthals first call was to
the Bnai Israel synagogue of Toledo,
which he held for five years, being
then offered the charge of the Hebrew
schools of Buffalo, New York.
The Talmud Torah of Buffalo was
considered model school. Rev.
Blumenthal gave himself over to the
upbuilding of Jewish study with de-
votion that left an impress on that city
long to be remembered. But after five
years of persistent devotion he over
taxed himself, and his physicians adxis-
ed him to go to the South.
Mr.. Blumenthal holds the position in
Ft. Worth as Rabbi of Ahavath Shalom
congregation and principal of the He
brew School where SO children, divided
in Z classes are receiving instructions
daily in the Hebrew language, Jewish
history and religion. Besides various
classes for adults on same subjects are
conducted with much success under his
supervision.

THE CHARITY BALL.

Arrangements are in a fair way to
completion at this early date for the
Fourth Annual Chanuka Charity Ball
which will take place this year at
Beach's Auditorium, on Tuesday night,
December Z. That there is no superior
knowledged fact and that alone should
be an extra inducement to attend.
For those who don't dance there is a
beautiful balcony around the entire
hall where they may sit and enjoy
refreshments and the music. 1t is the
intention of the committee to leave
nothing undone that will enhance to
the pleasure of those attending. Any
suggestions tending to that end will
be gladly received and complied with
if found practical. The admission
this year will be 75c, and if after the
ball anybody feels that they have
paid too much for what they received
their money will be cheerfully re-
turned. That's how confident the COM
mittee in charge is that everyone will
have a good time.

REV. CHARLES BLuMENTHAL.

Rev. Blumenthal came to this
country from Witebsk, Russia, fifteen
years ago. He was educated at the
Yeshivo of Kovno the greatest seat of
Rabbinical learning, and after an eight
year course there he came to America,
spending three years in the study of
English at Toledo, Ohio.

FOR THE YOUNG MEN.

In these days, as in other times,
there are duties that devolve upon ev-
cry community. The maintenance of
congregations, the support of all kinds
of charitable organizations With
these the fraternal benefit organiza-
lions cannot be classed though they
should by no means be overlooked.
1t is proper that congregations have
houses of worship; in fact, neces-
sity. But the membership of most
congregations are composed mainly of
the older folks. There is no reason
that the brunt should fall on the old
folks. Does not the majority of our
young men spend three and four times
the price of membership on non
sensical frivolties?
Take our charitable organizations
are not their membership composed
mainly of older folks? Is there any
excuse for it? Can not the young men
afford to lend their aid in the main
tenance of these necessary organiza-
tions as we'll as he can afford to
quench his desires for the frivolous?
How many of them will spend five dol
lars for confetti during the carnival,
who would look with disdain upon an
appeal for funds for any charitable
purpose? Yes, quite a few.
The fault is not altogether with the
young men. Their elders are to be
censured somewhat for their indiffer-
ence. The young men should be made
to feel that they are part of the
community and that it is an absolute
necessity for them to shoulder their
part of the responsibility resting upon
the community. We don't say that
the young men should deprive them
selves of all enjoyment of life, but
