Superfluous officials and methods of
procedure which the valueless but eX-
pensive are just now being subjected
to scrutiny. We make bold to call at
tention, therefore. to the expensive.
but useless methods employed by this
city in dealing with persons arrested
for public intoxication of inebriety.
Some 23,13S such cases went through
the courts in Manhattan and the
Bronx in 1908, and 14,271 in other bor-
oughs. 1t was a futile process, for
most of the cases were Of alcoholic
"rounders,'' or "repeaters,' not to be
reformed by it. and the rest should
have been disposed Of in some less
public way.
The State Charities Aid association
has prepared a bill introduced yester-
day by Senator Grady, which propos-
es to relieve the courts of much of this
useless work. 1t follows the plan
| which has been practiced in Massachu-
sets since 1905, of releasing first Of
tenders directly from the station house
| after their previous record and other
| facts about them have been detcrmin-
ed by the investigation of field Off
Ger and of the board of inebriety,
which the law would create
This provision has worked well in
Massachusetts. In Boston 40 per cent
| in Worcester 46 per cent, and in New
| Bedford ~ per cent of persons arrested
| for public intoXication are SO released
and the courts are relieved of them
The bill aims to substitute the physi-
| clan and a hospital and industrial col
ony with abundance of fresh air and
sunlight. for the warden and the dark
ness, poor ventilation and enforced
| idleness of the city prisons and work
! houses.
! The law would further reduce the
work of the courts by doing away with
! the short sentence and the petty fines
which inevitably produce the alcoholic
rounder. 1t substitutes release on
probation, fines to be paid in install
ments. and the use of the indetermi-
nate sentence for those who must be
committed.
The measure is we'll supported by the
State charities Aid Association. the

leading alienists and social workers of
this city. DR.. Frederick Peterson. DR..

Lambert, experts, who come very close
ly in touch with the problem of the in
ebriate, are actively urging its passage.

wisdom.-New York Times.

Eye Strain in School.

From the Newark News.
A little boy or girl totally blind is
an extremely pathetic sight, but next
to this is the child wearing spectacles
to piece out its defective eyesight
Yet such cases are declared by doc
tors to be on the increase, and they
claim that many of them are caused
by tn eye strain to which those under
ten years of age are subjected in the
schools. A number of years ago a
crusade was begun against nurse
maids, older sisters and even reckless
mothers who would expose babies
eyes to the direct glare of the sun
when taking the helpless infants out
for an airing in baby carriages That
crusade is by no means ended yet, and
many a courageous woman will today
stop baby carriage who's occupants
unprotected eyes are being blinded by
the sun. and will instruct the attend
ant to either shut out the light or
wheel the carriage in another direc-
ton.

You may have to think twice before
you can recall The Merchant Prince

"Chantecler" is more the product of
my brain than Rostand's. He studied
my plan SO thoroughly and in such
painstaking fashion that it remained
in his mind even after he had written

Fools Gold.
From the Duluth Herald.

From the Duluth Herald.
There is hardly anything so pathetic
as the manner in which men of small
means are roped in by schemers who
tempt them with glittering plans to
make them rich quickly. The man
on small salary or scant wages sees
others who do not work half so hard
as he does rolling in luxury" and
while he may not covet luxury. he does
cherish the hope that by some sudden
twist of fortunes caprice he may win
independence. So the man with min
ing scheme, or some other tempting
get-rich-quick plan never lacks victims.
His prospectus reads we'll, always.
In fact, the prospectus of the mining
scheme which is practically certain
ty. though it calls for large capital,
seldom reads SO beautifully and prom
Uses SO much as the prospectus of the
man who has nothing but plan to get
other peoples money Men who
wouldn't lend money on good real es-
tate without a careful examination of
the title will launch their money in
faraway mining schemes merely on the
promises of utten strangers. Save as
he will, it is hard for the man who has
the habit of testing such schemes to
pile up his pennies fast enough to sat-
1sfy the greed of the schemers.

Next to our rejection of Santa Slaus

many thousands of women still living

who were moving from New Portland
to Brunswick. The owner. some years
later, called on Mr.. Young and told
him how much he valued the cat. but
nevertheless gave him to Mr.. Young.
Tim has grown to be handsome. He
weighs about IL pounds, is dark gray
in color, with a jet black stripe down
his back, a black tail and black feet.
These markings are peculiar to the
coon tribe. His claws are more like
a coon's than a cats. When content
ed he purrs very loudly. His most no.
ticeable characteristic is his ever-mov-
ing tail. He thrashes it like any wild
beast He never sleeps in a ball. but
always stretches out, coon fashion. on
the alert.
Although Tim has been trained to do
many tricks. his ability to make his
master understand him is by far his
most wonderful attribute. He is al
ways the first to wake up in the
house. His master generally rises at
Is o'clock. If Mr.. Young does not ap-
pear soon after the clock strikes, the
cat will go into his ROOM climb up on
to the bed and say. Up Cy.' He will
kee.. his going until he has reused
his master.
When Mrs. Young appears he runs to
her and rolls over on the floor in front
of her then says, Eat in an almost
human tone.
When Mr.. Youngs daughter is at
home she plays Hide and Coop with
the cat. The cat blinds at the corner
and waits until the girl has shouted
coop and then invariably finds her.
But the cat can hide and cry Coop
| just as well as the girl. Recently. he
| has taken to cheating at the game. fol-
lowing the girl. and watching where
she hides. then running back to the
goal to wait for the signal
, Another feat that the cat does nearly
every day is to lead Mr.. Young to Mrs
Young, if the latter happens to be out
of the house. The cat always meets
Mr.. Young when the latter comes
home with the mail. II Mrs Young is
not at home the cat will roll over in
! front of his master and then he will
say. Come and will lead him to the
house where Mrs. Young is calling
| Whenever the cat wants attention he
rolls over in front of his master or mis-
tress. II is a peculiar fact that all of
| the sounds the cat makes to express his
wants are never misplaced He never
says come" when he wants TO eat. He
generally sleeps all day and goes out
at night. He asks to go out by say
! ing out as plainly as a person can.
The cat likes the water. He catch
es frogs and fish and will wade in a
/ brook turning over stones with his paw
like a dog.
Some years ago ir. Young's house
was burned. The cat was nowhere
to be found. The next day it appeared
at the ruins of the house and stayed
there all day. whining piteously Aft
erward when Mr.. Young would go to
the old house. he would tell Tim that
he was going up to the old place"
: and he would always find the animal
there ahead of him.
Mr. Young has had large sums Of
fered to him for the cat. but he would
not part with him. At present he is
teaching the cat to handle figures and
has made some progress teaching it to
count.
Mr.. Young is we'll known resident
of North Turner. where he has operat-
ed farm for some time.

Sailing along in a sea of settlement
echoes of the big fair--the fair as
sOciation have hit a snag. The after
math of the art department finds the
judge of said display was a dark horse
since no one knows his name or ad-
dress. He was mighty kind-hearted
since on the day of judgment he
sighted no one and pinned the tags
of blue right and left regardless of
catalogue classification. Result: A
harassed fair association busily eX-
planning the indignant ladies that
there were only cash prizes for the
classified articles, ana that All others
must be content with the little hon
orary emblems Of blue and the thanks
and good will of the association The
judge is gone. Mr.. Roberts, superin-
tendent, has conveniently vanished for
a few days, and IT is up to the officers
of the fair association vino are having
u hard time squaring matters.
This is explanation ana apology
on the part OF the association to those
who were granted the blue ribbons
with no other remuneration, and We
offer a plea that you take the mis-
take in good part, see the joke, and
don't get mad.
