Tommy Cat Loses Two Lives

Tommy, for the suffering fellow had crept

Did come a wicked man;
He crept about the forest deep,
For he had an evil plan.
He spied the monkey, young and
free,
And trapped him. Oh, alack!
And carried him to foreign lands
From whence he'd ne'er come
back.
There in a cage poor monkey
pinned,
His heart was aching so:
And round him stood a grinning
crowd
Who knew not of his woe.
And hundreds came there just to

From the forest, deep and

Kats, mother and son, lived in dear
little house-formed by All angle between
two barns-at the outskirts OF a large
city. And about them dwelt many other
cats. some very reputable citizens and
others OF very questionable character.
The latter lived for the most part In
dark alleyways. and picked up pre-
carious living from kitchen door to kitch-
en- door. often coming into contact with
an angry Bridget's broom or a basin of
scalding water. The result Of the last
was never forgotten.
And Mrs Whitepaw Kat knew of the
perils Of the back alley and OF the
dangers that beset young kitten like
her own son, Tommy. So she warned
Tommy to remain safe indoors while she
was from home.

PROPAGATING THE AFRICAN
ZEBU.

1t has long been the aim of the
colonial government in tropical Africa
to replace, IL possible. the regimen OF
unappetizlng timed meats with an
abundance Of fresh beef and milk
Experiments to this end have been In
cessant for over ten years, and the
progress made has been a minor In.
flucnce in reducing the frightful NOR
tality that formerly reduced the ranks
OF white men IN the colonial service
Many animals of the best European
breeds have been imported to improve
the native cattle, with the result that
their progeny have supplied a pal
increased quantity of milk It is
found, however, that the imported on
imals do not thrive very we'll in the
new environment and that the mixed
breeds are susceptible to diseases that
carry them off The prospects of
filling tho need in this manner are
therefore not regarded as bright
Another experiment from which sat
isfactory results are hoped is now
in progress. Why may not the supe-
rior variety OF the cattle (zebus) Of
hot Indian thrive In tropical Africa
and greatly improve the native
stock2 Tho idea WAS suggested BY
the success of this innovation in the
warmer states of Brazil, where the
zebu was introduced twenty-five years
ago to the great improvement OF tho
native cattle. Millions of the mixed
breeds now thriving In that republic
are among the great resources of
Brazil. We are apt TO think OF the
zebu only as a riding and draft ami
NAL, but IT Is Of great Importance also
for meat and milk One OF the fin
est varieties, for example. the Nellore
zebu, is noted both for the excellence
OF its flesh and the abundance and
quality of its milk The yield OF milk
per COW is fully twenty quarts n day.
and Karl Hagenbach. the well-known
importer of tropical wild animals. says
that the content OF butter fat is fully
equal TO that of the best German
breeds
Within the last two wears Nellorc
zebu bulls have been introduced into
the German colonies OF Togo Came
room and East Africa both Mr.. Hagen
beck and by the Royal Agricultural
institute of Halle. They are being
crossed with the native stock. and
there Is every expectation that both
the imported animals and the mixed
breeds will thrive In Africa. for the
East Indians who have settled Ia East
Africa brought with them zebu steers
that have long done good service
there as draft and riding animals.
The experiment will also be tried OF
crossing the mixed zebu and native
cattle with some OF the best European
stock 10 the hope that a superior ami
NAL may be evolved which Will be
practically suited to African condI-
tions.
The day is doubtless coming when
good beef and plenty OF milk may be
obtained In nearly every part OF trop-
Ical Africa In many why's we are wit

hAOERO NOT TYPE OF MAN TO
HEAD REVOLUTION.

Senor Juan Pedro Dldapp, former
Mexican consul at Norfolk, who re-
signed that position several months
ago on account OF political differences
with President Diaz and his admins
tration. arrived in Washington yester-
day from two weel1s tour of Mcxi.
co. Senor Didapp. who is at the Met
ropolitan, stated that the revolution
ary movement In Mexico so far as he
was able to observe. Is not thing to
deserve serious consideration by the
government.
"Madero, the leader OF the Revolu.
ton forces Senor Didapp said, "is
not the man to head such a movement.
Madero's private life. as well as his
political principles are not such as to
attract the real leaders of the anti
that the anti-Diaz element in Mexico
Is serious proposition. Yet man
OF the Madero type is not the kind of
a person to crystalize the sentiment
In favor of gigantic revolution
Should the revolving element be
led by such man as General Reyes,
then the present administration might
have cause for alarm. But men of the
Reyes type are not willing to war
against Diaz at this time. While 1t
Is admitted by them that the admins
tratIon is not all 1t should be. it is
also realized that Dtaz has done a
wonderful work for the Mexican peo-
pie and for Mexico in general. So long
as Diaz Is alive | do not believe there
Is cause for alarm.
"Madero Is one OF the wealthlest
men in Mexico He is a Socialist, SO
far as preaching Is concerned. but
when 1t comes TO putting into prnc-
tice his teachings he is not there. The
$1,000 persons whom he employs on
his estates were unwilling to support
him In his diminutlve revolution In
every other part OF Mexico lahorers
of the same class as those employed
by Madero receive 25 cents a day for
their work. The Madcro employees re-
ceive only IL IL cents a day.
There is hardly man who has
lived on the Madcro estates any
length OF time who Is not deeply Ia
debt TO the owner, Thlu merely shows
what kind of man Is the leader of the
revolutionary movement
The better class of Mexicans an
tagonistic to the present administra-
tlon did not support Madero In his
revolutionary work. They realized
that civilian could not Guide such
a large undertaking. They alsosknew
that even 81 Madero we're successful
with his revolution he could not hll
