Animals With Pockets.

Did you ever think what curious
thing it is that some animals have
pockets-great, roomy. fur lined vest
pockets. big enough to carry a family
of little ones about in? Many Of the
animals native to Australia and Tas-
mania have these convenient pockets,
and so has the possum, common
animal in our southern states. The
kangaroo is the largest of this species.
Full grown kangaroos go sixteen feet
at jump. and so when. going on a
long journey or running from hunters
think what n comfort it must be to
Mother kangaroo to know that her
babies are snug and safe in her peck

Frozen To Death In Freight Car.

The body Of an unknown white man,
frozen stiff, was found in refrigerator
car on side track Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, near Perryville on Thursday
morning of last week. The man was
about 40 years old and well dressed, but
there was nothing found in the pockets
by which he could be identified. The car
was shifted to the siding on Christmas
and it is thought the man had sought
shelter in it when the storm came up.
Closing the door he became prise Ter

Towne Also Seeing Things.

And now comes former Senator Charles
a. Towne with an expression OF opinion
that the country is daft on the subject of
Mr. Roosevelt AS he reads the signs of
the times. the mighty hunter has but to
say the word and the presidency is his
again. Even with a strong republican
ticket and a strong democratic ticket in
the field, a ticket headed by Mr.. Roose-
welt, and representing the policies that
stand In his name, would win without
trouble.
Mr. Towne started in politics as a re-
publican. The silver question enticed him
over to the democracy, with populist
trimmings Fl then became a straight
democrat. and, loving to New York from
Minnesota, joined Tammany Han and &C.
cepted a congressional commission as 9
regular Tammany man. He IL now q
statesman out of job.
Whether his afflliation with three par
ties and his residence in the northwest

wisdom about the politics Of the country
is a question. He does not lack for con.

Old faint of Barbarism.
From the New York Times.

"Disgraceful in its haste. shocking
every sense Of decency." is the indignant
comment Of one of the counsel for the
state of Tennessee upon Gov. Patterson's
act in pardoning Col. Cooper at the very
moment when the supreme court of the
state mad affirmed his conviction and
sentence Of twenty years Imprisonment
for the murder of ex-senator Carmack
That will be the prevailing sentiment in
every civilized community in the United
States. We do not say that there are
uncivilized communities in this Union
but wherever In any community approval
is expressed of this outrageous executive
pardon there will be found a trace of
barbarism, that old barbarism to which
some communities in the south-or,
rather, some individuals in certain south
ern communities-now and then revert
1t was that spirit of barbarism that
struck down Carmack, and again the
old barbarism guided the pen Of Gov.
Patterson when he wrote and signed the
pardon of Cooper. The foundation diff
ference between civilization and barbar
ism is not one OF clothes and manners.
1t is that law supplants tribal custom,
puts restraints upon individual impulse
and calls upon every person to respect
the constable's staff. The view that the
Coopers took of their relations to So
ciety and to their victim was worthy of
an Apache or a head-hunter of Borneo
Gov. Patterson's view of his relation to
the law, which he has sworn to respect
and execute, is fiagrantly aboriginal and
savage.

Mr.. Taft and Woman Suffrage.

The affront to the President at the
woman suffrage meeting last evening was
most rcgrettable, and. we may all be sure,
is by nc one more regretted than by the
leaders of the movement present. He
had come by invitation, not to give in
dorsement to the cause, but to express
pleasure at the gathering here of so many
distinguished " omen for the discussion of
a question row of wide interest and i'm
port to both sexes and all classes. And,
ii is hardly necessary to say, the remarks
which were interrupted with inlpolite re-
sponses by few of the audience were
not only of a friendly character but in
the best Of taste.
The President improved his discontinue
in the happiest fashion. What he said in
notice of the Interruptions bore directly
and convincingly upon the cause itself.
Government means controversy, and par
ticipators in government should be willing
to hear both sides of every question SUBJ
niitted. Kisses and catcalls shed no light
on any subject unless to show that those
who employ such means have nothing
stronger to offer.
A word may be said also about the pro-
test made by the anti-suffrage women Of
new 1oIk against the HTeSiuciit appeal :
ance at this meeting. They feared that
his acceptance Of the invitation would
be construed by the country as an in
dorsement of the movement. They did
not stop to think that his declination
would be construed as opposition to the
movement. His appearance was one OF
courtesy; and he could very we'll in the
same spirit welcome to Washington wom-
en- of the other side gathered to express
themselves against suffrage.
And why should not the anti-suffrage
women hold a national convention or con-
ference here? They have organizations
in several states, and in their ranks are
many able and eminent representatives of
that sex. Their deliverances show that
they are as much in earnest as their sis
tiers who favor suffrage. Why not pre-
sent that side of the controversy under a
Washington date line. which would in
ers than any other means that could be
employed?
Several months ago The Star suggested
that before this subject was formally
submitted to be passed upon by men 1t
might be we'll for the women themselves
to settle their differences. They are d.
vided about it. No poll has ever been
taken, and hence no safe assertion can
at present be made whether a majority

Chicago is leading the country these

pound interest, for instance. The effort
is being made to teach the children only
those things which are likely to be use
full to them and which they are pretty
certain to remember For this reason
history is being taught in new fashion. A
child is no longer marked upon it's knowl-
edge of the number Of men killed in any
particular battle. but upon the salient
features in our history which are of i'm
portance now. In most of the school his
tories large amount Of space is given
to colonial times. customs of the Indians
etc. Ten pages at most will give the
salient facts in our history up to the time
Of the revolution. Those who are in
terested can find plenty of details for
their delectation, but what every child
should know is something about the
origin and development of this govern
ment and his present or prospective
duties as a citizen.
