About Cats.

Condensed From the London Spectator
In the British Medical Journal Lieut..
Col. Andrew Buchanan. NJ. D.. insists on
the Importance of keeping cats I'm India
as defense against the plague. Col. Blu
chanan tells us how he has put eight cats
and seventeen Indian rats I'm a room
Within a few minutes all the rats were
killed, and one cat was holding four dead
rats I'm her mouth.
Col. Buchanan suggests that the wor-
ship of cats among he ancient Egyptians
was probably recognition of their Sani-
tary uses.
The domestic cat is above all things an
anarchist. II submits to no rule. The
dog may lick the hand that beats il, but
your scheme of civilization; I did not ask
to come. and do not ask to stay Proud
hon rightly placed a cat at the feet Of his
figure of liberty.
responsibility. She is not mentioned in
the Bible. She defies even the laws of
language No one knows from what the
name is derived.
A distinguished scholar at Cambridge
used to pretend that men admired cats
or dogs according as they were Platoon
lists or AriStotelians. The visionary chooses
a cat, the man of concrete plans a dog.
Hamlet must have kept a cat.
Mohammed cut off his sleeve rather
than wake his sleeping cat, and Mon
taigne was depressed because he felt that
his cat regarded him with a disparaging
air. Heine compared his most heartless
lover with cats. Matthew Arnold was
near the right feeling, but not quite in
possession of IL:
Cruel. but composed and bland.
Dumb inscrutable and grand,
SO Tfberius might have sat
Had Tiberius been cat.
In the ancient law of England the cat
was given a very different role from that
attributed to her. Among our elder an
cestors, the Ancient Britons, says Black
stone Com, III, A.. 'cats were looked
upon as creatures of intrinsic value, and
the killing or stealing of one was grievous
crime" The fortunate cat that held the
office of warden of the royal barn was
thus protected by the law: If any one
shall kill or bear away by theft the cat
which is warden of the royal barn. IL
shall be hung up by the tip of it's tail, it's
head touching the floor. and over IL shall
be poured out grains of wheat until the
last hairs of its tail shall be covered by
the grain
The cat is no longer the subject of lar
ceny at common law. But his it has left
to il: 1.-The master of ship freighted
with goods which are the subject of dep
relation by rats is bound to have cats on
board or he cannot charge the insurer

Jacobs Trial December 13.

Attorney Frank Sears arrived home
this morning from Sturgis, in the Black
Hills, and reports that the retrial of
the Oscar Jacobs case, ordered by the
supreme court, will commence Deem
Der 18th. An effort is being made to
secure a change and have the case tried
at some place other than Sturgis.
The evidence upon which young Jac-
obs was convicted of the murder of his
sweetheatheart, Elba Roberts, on the
evening of January IS, 1909, was purely
circumstantial, and the ruling OF the
supreme court to the effect that much
of the states evidence was not admis-
sable, leaves the state with a very weak
case to present at the retrial.
Day county people will watch the OUT
come of the trial with great interest,
and young Jacobs many friends here
are confident that a retrial of the case
will result in his acquittal.

Accidentally Shot

Last Thursday Miss Daisy Johnson,
daughter of Mrs. Anna A Johnson, who
lives about eleven miles south of town,
was shot through the ball of the left
foot by the accidental discharge of a
l2-gauge shotgun, necessitating the
removal of the two toes rext to the big
toe and a number of small pieces OF
bone.
The gun in question had been loaned
to a neighbor and Miss Daisy had beer
sent after it, She removed, as SIN
supposed, all the shells, but the on

In the handling of the gun, the hammer

Lost the Ducks

S. X. Leen is another victim of mis-
placed confidence. A couple of weeks
g he returned from a hunting trip
with a fine bunch of ducks, and thought
he would keep some of them for future
repasts by freezing them. He strung
a nice bunch of the largest mallards %
a duck carrier and hung them on the
north side of the house, and every
morning would go and look at them
and contemplate future savory dinners
at which those mallards would figure
prominently, Tuesday morning when
he made his regular tour of inspection
he found his mallards and carrier gone
some gluttonous inclined person hav-
ing been unable TO withstand the temp
tation of baked mallard, had absconded
with the entire outfit. MI. Leen imme'
diately assumed the role of Sherlock
Holmes and started on a still hunt, with
the result that he soon located the per-
son who abducted the birds. Mr.. Leer
is not vengeful, and while he deplore:
the fact that beefstack instead of bakeC
mallard will grace his dinner table, h
is willing to forgive everything if the
person who took the ducks will return
his duck carrier.

Has Head Crushed

Last Saturday a young man about 70
years of age. a stranger in this vicinity,
who had been working with the Gould
ditching crew about a week, was acct
dentally killed while laying tile in a
ditch the crew was working on near
Granville.
The young fellow was down in the
bottom of the 25-foot ditch laying tile
when the bank of the ditch suddenly
caved and a huge chunk of partly frozen
dirt struck him crushing his head and
killing him almost instantly. No other
part of his body was bruised by the
falling dirt.
Several members of the crew saw the
accident and they Immediately brought
the unfortunate man to the surface,
and secured a physician as soon as pos
sible. An examination of the young
mans effects failed to give any clue az
where his home was, and there was
no address of relatives Or friends.
The deceased was a member of the
Catholic church, and the funeral wa.
held at the Grenville Catholic church
Sunday and the remains inferred in thu
Granville cemetery.

WEBSTER TO HAVE TAG DAY
3 for the Benefit of the Sioux
Falls Children's Home

The ''tag day" movement which was
started at Aberdeen last year for the
benefit of the children's home at Sioux
Falls, has become a regular institution
in many of the cities of the state, and
Webster has decided to join the list of
cities which through the ''tag day.
plan are contributing largely toward
the maintenance of the Sioux Falls
children's home.
Webster's tag day will be on Satur-
day, December Bird, and the Women's
Thursday GLIB and l.. G. Ochsenreiter,
who i~naugurated the movement in
this city, are preparing to make it a
pronounced success. A large number
of ladies will have charge of the selling
of the tags. The tags will be sold for
whatever the purchases feels able to
p W, and the money thus obtained will
be forwarded to the children's home.
The children's home is supported
entirely by charitable donations, and
like most institutions of that character
it has difficulty in securing sufficient
funds to carry on its work. The tag
day plan, however, has been of great
benefit to the institution, and has been
of material assistance in widening its
scope of work and providing for the
children the home is caring for.
Don't fail to do your part on tag day.
Buy at least one tag and pay whatever
you feel able to. Every dollar will
help in providing for some unfortunate
child which is sadly in need of the care
! the children's home offers.
