CATCHERS OF CATERPILLARS
9Ittsbure Boys Who Have Been Rid
ding Park Trees of the Insects
Strike for Higher Wages.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Schoolboys who en-.
listed to help Forester L. Grimes rid
the city's trees of the destroying cat
erpillar went on strike for more money.
Mr. Grimes held out against the de-
mands until he began to worry over
the inroads Of the insects, and then
he posted on park trees and about the
schools a notice that the pay would
be advanced from 10 to 25 cents a
quart.
False bottom measures will not go
however, for a standard measure is
part of the equipment of each of three
receiving stations. This move was
prompted by a North side boy, who

Cats Bring Him Wealth.

Frank A. Sterling of the Stag hotter.
in Halsey street. Is a firm believer in,
cats. He always has a tribe Of the
felines around his place and from
now on is thinking of starting
breeding farm and sen ing one partic-
ular cat out to educate the balance of
the bunch.
Here is the story and it is not told
by Sterling, but of course, Sterling
was the one that copied all the
money. Last night one of Sterling's
kittens drifted out of the place and
got mixed up with the muddy side
walk on Halsey street. Two minutes
later the same kitten drifted back
into the hotel. but with something
between its teeth.
1t looked like a small mouse the
kitten had between it's teeth. II was
not. It was one of those little pocket
books that women carry on the inside
of their big purses and 1t had 1874 In
cash in It. Looks pretty good to me"
remarked Sterling Guess I'll train
all the rest of the kittens the same
way"
Now every morning the patrons of

fore they get out of bed to see II the
kittens have been in with any money.

Breeding Horses for Army.

Cooperation between the govern
ment and the farmers of the country
in the breeding and raising of horses
suitable for cavalry and artillery
branches of the military service is
asked for by Quartermaster General
James B. Aleshire of the army and of
fcials of the agricultural department
before the house committee on agri-
culture.
1t is proposed to establish a sys-
tenn whereby the government shall CO.
operate with individual farmers toward
breeding horses of a definite standard.
General Aleshire said that the decline
of the saddle-and-race horse industry
has had great effect in creating a
scarcity of the lighter army horses.
The government is unable to secure
1000 horses of the required standard.

er to Withstand the widespread and
lnsistent demand that he be employed
In the service of his country.
1t was known some time before he
quilted the supreme command of the
Indian army that relations between
Lord Kitchener and the home authori
ties were anything but smooth, and
the reason for this was not very far
to seek. Lord Kitchener resolutely
declined to color his reports and other
documents to suit the convenience OF
the government, and for this indie
pendence of character he soon paid
the penalty. From that moment he
was a marked man, and the bureau.
Gratis started plans for shelving him.
But the people of England were
slowly but surely awakening to the
fact that, while the efficiency of the
British army was being gravely ques.
| toned the nations greatest soldier
| and finest type of military organizer
was being shelved. Instantly a de
mand arose for his employment. Men
who had served with him In Egypt
| South Africa and elsewhere offered
to retire to make room for Kitchener
Of Khartoum; the popular clamor be.
came louder and the government was
plainly perturbed. Now the agitation
had reached such proportions that nc
course was open to the war authori
ties which did not involve the giving
to the field marshal of a post where
he could be something and do some
thing. A place on the imperial de
Tense committee was the result.
The attempt to shelve Lord Kitch
ener was everywhere regarded as the
most reckless of military extravaganza
There is no soldier in England with
the experience OF the field marshal
His conquest of the Sudan and South
Africa does not give the measure Of
his experience, and the conquest oil
the Sudan did not begin and end with
the battle of Omdurman any more
than the conquest of South Africa be
gan and ended in block-house. Hav
ing proved his capacity in the field
England sent Lord Kitchener to India
in order to apply to her defenses II
the east some of that practical com
mon sense for which he is distin
guished. Despite all obstacles, he &C
complished his task and left India
stronger and more self-contained fol
defensive purposes than at any time
since the mutiny. Even critics of his
tactics in the field cannot deny Lore
Kitchener's capacity as an organizer
and administrator
1t is no secret to the bureaucracy
that Lord Kitchener is a masterfu
man. What he wants and insists up
on is not place, but power. When the
power goes and leaves only the husl
of Office and emolument, Lord Kitch
ener begins to pack his bag and tS
look up time table. What the blu
reaucrat likes is a machine that b,
can control without raising a clamol
In the market place. And Lord Kitch
ener would never be content to be
come a mere machine.

HeIne's Mission.

What Heine really desired and
fought for was the liberation Of man
I'm body and spirit. He strove to
break up the crust of outworn dog
mas and traditions and selfish tyran-
MES. which in his day weighed upon
the spirit OF the German people with
an oppression hardly realizable by us
He was most truly one of the makers
of Germany. That that country pro-
duced him is one of its chief glories,
one of its many claims on the sym
pathy and admiration Of the modern
world It is time that he were bet
ter understood there; and to be I'M
derstood is prominently in Heines
case-and not in his relations Of citi-
zenship and patriotism alone-to be
orgiven.-London Times.

OUTPUT OF Poles
DURING 1909 NEARLY FOUR
MILLION STICKS OF TIM
Der WERE SOLD.
Average Cost Per Pole Being $1.S9-
Cedar Principal Timber-Chestnut
Comes Next-Great Progress Made in
Treating Poles With Chemicals to
Preserve Them From Decay.

The total number of poles reported
to the bureau of the census as purchased
during the calendar year 1909 by the
telegraph and telephone companies,
steam and electric railroads, and cleo
trio light and power companies of the
United States was 3,739,000, as against
$4,000 in 1905 and 3,32s,000 in 1907.
There were purchased in 1909 by the
same class of users 100000 cross arms,
6,168,000 brackets, and 4,463, 900 in
sulator pins. Cross-arms brackets, and
insulator pins were not included in the
annual census of lumber and timber
products prior to 1909.
Telephone and telegraph companies
reported purchases during 1909 of 2,916,-
600 poles, or rs per cent of the total.
This was an increase over 1908 in the
number reported as bought by this class
of users of 1000 poles, or IA per cent,
and over 1907 of 100000 poles, or &c
per cent. Steam railroads reported the
purchase of 20 per cent more poles in
1909 than in 1908, though "a per cent
less than in 1907, while the reported
purchases by electric railroads and cleo
trio light and power companies were Is
per cent greater than in 1908 and
per cent less than in 1907.
There was little change in the aver
age cost per pole of all lengths and
from all species of wood in 1909, as
compared with 1908, it being $3.50 il
the later and $1.s2 in the earlier year
The average cost per pole, $2.46, il
1907, was substantially larger than il
either of the later years, mainly fol
the reason that a class of pole con
sumers in the United States which usei
chiefly short poles was not included
in the census for 1907.
Cedar continues to be the principa
pole timber, contributing 65 per cen
of the total purchases in 1908, 6s pc
cent in 1908, and GA per cent in 1907
Chestnut, after cedar, was used il
greatest quantity in all three years
forming 16 per cent of the total il
1909, 16 per cent in 1908, and 10 pc
cent in 1907. Among the remaining
species, the increase in the number O.
oak poles reported as purchased during
the last three years is noteworthy; NOR,
than three times as many poles from
this species having been reported a
purchased during 1909 as was the cas-
in 1907.
Substantial progress in the practic'
of treating poles with chemicals to pre-
serve them from decay is disclosed b,
the returns for 1909, as nearly one-sixtl
of the total purchases during that yea
having been given some preservativ'
treatment, as against about one-tentl
in 1905 and one-eighth in 1907.
Of the total outlay during 1908
1881, 900, for cross-arms, brackets ant
insulator pins, the telegraph and tele
phone companies contributed 63 pc
cent, electric railroads and electric hgh
and power companies 80 per cent, ant
steam railroads per cent.

MARS DOES GLIDE FOR LIFE.

Fresno, Cal, Dec. 19-Hanging 1000
feet in the air while attempting to make
an altitude record this afternoon, j. G.
(Bud) Mars found that his engine re-
fused to work. Despite extra precau-
tions to keep the carbureter from freez-
ing, the intense cold was too great, and
Mars was forced to make the longest
"spiral glide" of his life, while those
on the field, realizing his extremity,
watched his maneuvers intently. His
usual glides are from 1000 feet in
height. Mars started down with long
spiral, half mile in diameter, swinging
wide over the fair grounds and grand
stand. He alighted safely, but was so
cold that he could speak with difficulty.
