The Diplomat and the Cat.
In the biography of Oscar Browning
1t is related that Lord Odo Russell,
British papal ambassador in 1848. told
him Of the most delicate affair he had
ever adjusted. The exiled queen of
Naples, an excellent pistol shot. lived
near Cardinal Antonelli's mother, the
houses standing back to back. On the

saw the cat one morning, and the
temptation was too strong for her. She
fired, and it fell. The excitement was
tremendous, the chanceries Of the
Holy City were overwhelmed with cor
respondence, but the affair was at
last composed by the efforts of Odo
Russell, the universal peacemaker.
He told me that up to that time the
two most difficult affairs which had
fallen to his lot to arrange were the

been challenged BY the french com

A report was received shortly after
the cold weather, occurring the middle
of April, that grasshoppers had
Matched in the unusually warm wealth
er of early spring, and had been killed
by the freeze in April. This would
have been good news IL it had been
actually the case in all parts Of the

were found Matching in quite large
numbers early in May, when all danger

SwiIl Barrel Cholera.

DR.. H. NJ. Reynolds, veterinarian at
the Minnesota Experiment Station
says that swill barrel cholera has
often been mistaken for true hog
cholera, and that it may kill hogs
quite rapidly and cause just as severe
losses for the farmer. 1t is a less
serious disease than true hog cholera,
for it does not spread by Infection
The doctor says:
The symptoms frequently resemble
rather closely the true hog cholera,
but hogs die from this disease that
are supposed to be immune to cholera
This disease does not spread to other
hogs and involves only those which
are receiving swill from a certain bar
rel or tank. The condition of the bar
rel or tank itself usually gives very
good reason for suspecting that the
disease is swill barrel cholera rather
than true cholera.
Serious losses among garbage feed
ers using hotel Stops frequently occur
and are often due to the presence of
washing powder or other material con-

otherwise could not produce disease.
A case of swill barrel cholera has
recently come to the attention of the
experiment station. Mr.. B., farmer
living in Southwestern Minnesota, lost
ffty-nine out Of sixty hogs. The one
hog which did not die was kept in a
pen adjoining the yard where sick
hogs were kept and with every op-
portunity Ior transferring the infec.
ton, If there had been infection, from
the yard to the pen. The fifty-nine
hogs were fed sour buttermilk from a
local creamery. The buttermilk had
been kept in wooden tank, the sides
OF which were green with mold
Nearby neighbors who did not use
this buttermilk lost no hogs.

PLEA AGAINST THE DEATH

 Believing that your newspaper has influence throughout the territory, I wish it would come out against the death penalty This letter is written
 in behalf of the two men who are condemned to die at the territorial prison. and it is merely plea for mercy that I make.
 lt may be true that both are guilty of premeditated murder. and no circum- stances whatsoever can justify such a crime, but there is room for thought in the fact that the larger part of hu- maEity has grown into accord with those ment of human life, heredity and en- vironment. which sometimes work with apparent inconsistency, but more often cause the child to suffer for the faults of the parents and brighten or darken in proportion to the good or the bad in the moral atmosphere of the early youth of the individual. What unfor- tunate and evil conditions have com bned to construct these two men into murderous beings? Why are some people born to happiness and prosperi- ty and others to sorrow and diversity? And is it not strange that those who have life and hope in view are made out of the same clay as those who have only death and despair before them?

As far back as history records, man. kind has sought to keep order on earth by laws and whenever their laws were in harmony with the laws of God they succeeded, and whenever they were out of harmony with God, they failed. So |i it ever will be. And since we know that we can have perfect peace and lasting good will among ourselves only by fashioning our lives after the life of Christ. it is time for all who have benefited from Christian civilization to begin to put the principles of Christi anity into practice. Mercy being one of the chief of those principles, why should it not be granted to these two men in question? It can be but short while before capital punishment will be universally abolished. and 1t would be an everlasting blessing to our territory if it could be one of the leaders in such a movement. =.
