Poor Pussy.

1t seems possible that the cat
will need all of the nine lives so
often attributed to it if it ex-
poets to survive the scathing de-
nunciation being made against it.
According to DR.. Reed it is a
menace to health. The doctor
says: Under normal conditions
the germs of nearly all the cpl
demic and local diseases thrive
upon the family cat. Even where
the cat is not himself subject to
the disease, he easily spreads the
contagion, and occasionally he
does both. Thus in the case of
d%iphtheria, the cat not only has
the disease himself, but also car
ries it upon the mucous men,
brane or fur. Influenza is spread
broadcast by fur and feet, and
HaWlett has recently shown that
as a distributor of the bubonic
plague the cat vies in virulence
with the omnipresent rat.
"Ringworm and tape worm
are spread in the same way and
pus germs find easy lodgment in
the thick hair. from which the
hand quickly conveys
them to the human body. The
germs of typhoid and tuberculo-
sis are similarly distributed, as
well as the more subtle and less
understood germs of whooping
cough, measles, scarlet fever and
smallpox. This is more readily
appreciated when we consider
quickly the cat is given as a
olaything to the lonesome child

contagious diseases"

CHIEF OCONNOR, OF
new ORLEANS, IS A
suicide.
Veteran Chief, Despondent Over
LII Health, Sends A Bullet
Through His Brains.

Chief Thomas O'Connor, head
of the fire department of New
Orleans, went to his reward up
above Saturday evening. The
messenger Of death was a pistol
bullet, sent through his brains
by his own hands.
Monday morning of last week,
to the personal knowledge of the
writer, the venerable fireman
was doing well, seemingly cheer
full and full of hope for many
more years of life. He was at
his Office, and spoke pleasantly.
However, it appears that the
grim old fre-fghter was just
laughing away the spectre of APP
preaching dissolution; and brood
ing over the fact fastened the
end.
He was a trustworthy, COM
petent official, a staunch friend
and a man whom the fire service
of the city of New Orleans will
miss greatly.
Chief O'Connor had been in
ill-health for some time, and
dependency over his inability to
recover is supposed to have been
the cause of his committing sui
eide.
He had been Chief of the New
Orleans fire department for the
past forty-tWo years. He was
seventy-four years of age at the
time of his tragic taking off.

to the world of the fair and
square deal one can expect when
either running for Office or vot-

slogan sound from the marsh

THE FARMERS BOY
Observation-Disclosures NENg1NNSNS1S

Alta meeting of the Presidents
of twenty of the nations largest
corporations, held in New York,
the other day, it was a matter
of comment that of those present,
twelve were farmers boys"
When the youngster at home
on the farm gets the blues and
fancies that there is no longer
the chance that there used to be
to rise above the monotony and
drudgery of a tiller of the soil,
he can think Of these twelve cap
tains of industry who started as
he is starting and remember
that when they were boys there
were times when they too
imagined that it was a hopeless
ambition to aspire to win their
way to the front in the city.
He wants to remember that
the farm has evolved some of the
worlds greatest men and some
of it's most conspicuously useful
ones and that with the increasing
activities of the nation in all
directions there is now, more than
ever, room at the top for the ex-
man.
In the contemplation of the
stirring achievements of the
boy, past and present,
if he has imagination he will find
hopeful inspiration, when the
day seems dark and the future
full Of gloom. Let him recollect
as the world surely does-that
it was the farm that gave us
Abraham Lincoln, one of the
worlds most majestic figures;
that gave us Andrew jackson,
Willard Fillmore, the martyred
Horace Greeley, Sir
[ssac Newton and the brilliant
Carlyle. It.was farmers son
Eli Whitney, who created the
gin, which laid the
foundation for the growth of the
industry, now worth
5000, 600, 900 a year to the United
States and a farmers boy-Elias
who emancipated woman
hood from the slavery of the
needle by the invention of the
machine.

That is the worlds way, no

A man is worthy of his hire"
whether he is in the employ of
an individual or in public service.
A kind friend handed us a copy
of the Ephrata, Penn. Review,
in which an item appears going
to show that in enlightened, pro-
gressive States the policy is not
to curtaiI the salaries of public
officials, but on the contrary, to
increase them. ''The bill af-
fects only judges learned in the
law says the article.
And there you have it. "A
Judge learned in the law" as
well as any other man proficient
in his particular calling, will de-
mand commensurate pay for his
services.
Following is the clipping from
the Ephrata Enterprise:
Increase pay for the Judiciary

the action of Governor Tener Fri

increase the annual salaries of
the Judges of the Supreme and

increase becomes effective at

Of Philadelphia and Allegheny

the Judges of Courts in counties

of Courts in districts having be-
tween so, 900 and $50, 600 popula-
ton, 81, and those in dis
tricts having less than 80, 600
population, $6, 900. The Judges
of the Dauphin county Court are
to receive 81, 600 additional for
trying State cases, which will
make their salaries SO, 600. The
bill affects Judges learned in the
law, and the salaries are to be
paid monthly as at present. The
total increase for the 131 Judges
Of the State is $2215OO, per year.

TO HOLD SCHOOL LANDS
Ruling of Attorney General De-
lays Sale Of 1850, GOO Acres
in Oklahoma

As a result of a ruling by the at
t0rney general that the new college
lands in northwestern Oklahoma can
not be sold i'm sections, where the
land IN section is divided between
different institutions, it is nov quite
probable that none OF the Land will
be sold until an act Of congress can
be secured, authorizing the state to
sell all of the land at one time and
prorate the proceeds among the
schools in proportion to the amount
Of their grant
These lands. aggregating ,050,00U
acres, were granted to the state for
the benttt Of the various educational
Institutions by The enabling act, so
many thousand acres being assigned
to each class Of schools When the
grant sections were, in many eases,
divided between the schools In or
der to make their share as nearly an
equal value as possible, instead of
giving them alternate sections 1t
is now recognized that mistake
was made there, but it is too late to
correct it.
Most of this land is grazing land
and under the terms of the sale bill
par Of it may be sold in tracts as
high as one section, and part of it
two sections at a time.
This is impossible under the attor-
ney generals opinion and to sell it
in small tracts would be to interfere
with the best results, as man who
wanted whole section would hes
itate to bid on one-quarter when he
was uncertain as to whether or 1ot
he could get the other three. 1t is
also estimated by the school land
department that to sell the land in
this manner would be a cost of $780,
goo more in txtra bookkeeping and
the additional expense of the sale.
1t is. therefore, considered as the
best proposition to wait for an act
Of congress IL one can be secured
