If anything in the entire animal
kingdom would seem to be a matter
OF pure instinct, that thing Is the ra-
ditional antipathy Of cat and mouse.
Yet recent study by G. 8. Berry.
made in Professor Munsterberg's Ia
boratory at Harvard. shows pretty
clearly that a cat has no instructive
impulse to kill and eat mice-nor the
mouse any instructive fear OF cats.
Berry finds that mouse may smell
the nose Of an inexperienced cat, or
even perch on its back, and be quite
safe, so long as 1t does not run away.
For the instinct of the kitten is to
chase any small moving object-ball
spool, tail, mouse-indifferen 1t
is not the mouse that interests 1t. but
the mouse in motion. Some day, often
by accident, the kitten plays too
roughly with it's captive, and discov-
ers that there is meat inside. 1t Is
we'll known that cats specialize their
hunting, some catching mice some
squirrels, some birds. 1t seems, in
each case, to Ge"ond CT accidents OF
discovery. A good mOuser, then, is
not a cat with strong instinct for
catching mice, but one with a strong
habit of doing so.

Advice From the Bench.

Some years ago many farmers along
the line Of the Missouri Kansas &
Texas Railway brought suit against
it and engaged young lawyer named
Brown. Judge CAN'T who was pre-
siding, was compelled 10 throw many
of the cases out of court because they
were improperly brought. Brown was
mad all over. Swelling with indig-
nation, he arose and said: your
Honor, will you please tell me how it
is possible in this court TO get justice
against railroad company"
Judge CAN'T quietly ignored the con-
tempt of court shown 3y the lawyer
and asked: "Do you wish an answer
to that question, Mr.. Brown?"
Yes, SIR" defantly replied the in
dignant lawyer; "yes. sir, and / want
to know how a farmer can get his
case into this court so that 1t will be
heard"
Judge CAN'T smiled and said: well.
first, Mr.. Brown, I'd advise the farmer
to hire a lawyer"

CURE FOR SLEEPING SICKNESS.
Discovery by Rockefeller Institute
Means Much for Africa.

Discovery by Rockefeller Institute
Means Much for Africa.
A cure for the African sleeping
sickness has been discovered by the
John D. Rockefeller Institute for Med
ical Research. At least the scientists
in the institution believe they have
hit upon cure, but they refuse to
make any definite announcement to the
medical world until the new medicine
has been put to the most severe tests.
They have been collaborating with a
German scientist of worldwide fame
for several months in compromising a
powder from which a serum is made
that cures the scourage of the Afra-
can jung1es.
Two doctors connected with the in
stitute recently admitted they thought
they had cure for the disease. They
said the serum had been used with sue
cess in several cases of the sleeping
sickness. They think the serum is as
pronounced specific for the disease
as antitoxin is for diptheria.
The powder is light brown. 1t is
dissolved in from ten to twelve parts
of water and administered hypodermi-
cally. The patient begins to show i'm
provement in few hours and is COM
pletely cured within few days.
This discovery" said one Of the
doctors, means the solution of the
African problem. 1t will open the way
for white immigration and civilization
in the Dark Continent. For this rea-
son here could be nothing more Inn.
portant TO the modern world than the
demonstration of the efficacy of the
serum"
The sickness is caused by the bite
Of the tsetse fly which communicates
the disease Just as the mosquito car
ries yellow fever. Almost every gov
ernment in Europe has sent commits
sions to Africa to study the disease
hoping to find q remedy for 1t. Until
the German scientist and those In tho
Rockefeller Institute got to work lit
tie success In treating the disease was
obtained. Sir David Bruce has made
study OF the disease. He has writ
ten much about it. He discovered the
parasite after several yeazS' work in
zululand. The disease has levied a
heavy tribute on the African inhabi-
tants In the last eight years. Once
the germ gets into the system the pa
hent becomes drowsy and becomes
more 30 until death.

Husbands Own Wives cIothes.

A married woman in Louisiana does
not own her own clothes. Judge w
W. Ferguson, OF New Orleans. re-
vealed that fact the other day in an
address to the women of the Era Club
in that city. He said this was an in
equality which should be rectified. as
q husband had the power at any time
to seize his wife's wardrobe and sell
it or bestow It as gift. The same law
prevails in Delaware, and a Whining
ton Judge has been guided by it in a
ruling to the distress and humiliation
of a woman we'll known in that city.
Following a divorce the husband de-
manded his former wife's wardrobe.
She Indignantly refused. and he ap.
pealed to the courts. The decision
was In his favor and the woman had
no recourse except to deliver her
clothes to him. 1t was decided under
the law that, even if husband gave
money to his wife and she invested
the money in clothes, he remained
0vner OF every garment

GOLF A SERIOUS STRAIN.
Demand For Almost lnhuman Per.
fection on the Links.

Demand For Almost inhunan Per
fectlon on the Links.
Immediately after playing a game
of golf and making a fairly good
score, a prominent man committed
suicide. Though there ts no reason
to suppose that there is any casual re-
lation between golf and suicide, yet
the incident calls to mind certain
characteristics of the game, at least
as they appear to a beginner. The
serious intensity required far out
does that demanded BY baseball or
tennis. Good-natured indifference Is
regarded on the links as an aesthetic
crime. A man who conSemplates the
landscape. or enjoys the atmosphere
is a Philistine Of the ranKest kind; or
II he INDUCES In conversation over
heard by the serious ones, he Is
looked upon as common pest. That
gloriously free thing, the baseball
"rooter," does not affect the nerves OF
the calm and automatic player; but
laugh, a careless motion. or an irrel-
evant gesture on the golf links Is
sign of moral and aesthetic turpitude.
Is 1t because the golf player begins
the sport later in life, when he has
fully developed nerves and moral
sensibilities, that the game has the
hair.trigger character?
In golf, there is certain demand
for almost inhuman perfection, not
only in skill, but in form. etiquette,
and the minor moralities; and such
demand for excellence is strain on
the imperfect human being.

PREACHER CAN'T Be HONEST
SO Says the Rev. D. II. carrick and
Quits Pulpit to Become Street
Car Conduetor


Lawrence, Kan.-"T don't believe a
minister of the Gospel can lead an
honest life now" was the startling
statement made by the Rev. d. H.
Carrick, who has just resigned the
pastorate of the North Lawrence
Christian Church.
Mr.. Carrick has given up his ambi-
tion to teach the religion Of Christ,
and has accepted a job with the Law
renee Street Railway Company as
conductor.
"The public never sees behind the
screen of the pastors home," said
Mr. Carrick, cor 1t might realize the
trials, the griefs and pains the pastor
and his wife are forced to bear. A
preachers wife cannot even make a
pretense Of dressing or dining we'll or
the people will think they are paying
their pastor too much, or that he
ought to save part of his salary and
give it to the missions He cannot
put on a pair Of patent leather shoes
without every single person who has
contributed the smallest mite toward
his salary looking at them as II to say,
Il helped to pay for those shoes;
there's where our money goes
"No, sir, don't believe a preacher
can live really honest life. If he
breaches the truth he will be con-
demning the lives of most Of his con-
gregation and offending them. In
stead of preaching their convictions,
the preachers Of the Gospel avoid any
thing that might tread upon personal
grounds for fear of giving offense.
The preacher passes over this and
that, and lives lie every day Of his
life in order not to offend the influ-
entail members of his congregation.
Thank God, am earning an hon
est living now, and nobody can criti-
else me-"
