TRIES NEW PLAN TO TEST MILK
Kansas Woman Lets Common House
Cat Judge Samples and Never
Goes Wrong.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, Dec. 20
An enterprising Cottonwood Falls
housewife has found new use for the
common house cat. AS the purchaser
of provisions for large family, this
wide awake woman finds II necessary
to buy considerable fresh milk, and
this is where the family cat--a sedate,
Iadylike tabby-comes In.
To decide which Of her milk
dealer sells the richest milk is not
always an easy task when there Is no
means at hand to test the amount OF
butter fat, so the business Is turned
over to tabby, VINO is the Judge. Two
small saucers of fresh milk from diff
ferent dealers are set before the cat.
She tries one and then the other. The
saucer which pleases her taste best
which is the richest milk is eagerly
Tapped up, while the other saucer
comes last or goes begging altogether.
The scheme is said to work perfectly,
and tests of the milk as to the amount
OF butter fat shows that tabby never
goes wrong.

Senator Curtis Introduces Bill Which,

Of conley Sisters.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Legislation
which will enable the government to
take charge Of the Wyandotte Indian
cemetery at Kansas City, Kan, is
proposed in a bill introduced in the
Senate by Senator Curtis of Kansas
A section Of the Indian appropriation
bill passed in 1907 directed the secre'
tary of the interior to have the re-
mains of all persons inferred in the
old burial ground removed to the
Wyandotte cemetery at Quindaro,
Kan, and to sell the property and
divide the proceeds from the sale
among the heirs of members OF the
Wyandotte tribe, who had made a
treaty with the government January
81, 1855. This legislation the Curtis
bill repeats.
officials of the government now
favor the preservation Of the Indian
burial ground and II the bill intro
duced by Senator Curtis becomes a
law the government will take charge
of 1t, erect a fence around 1t and
provide other improvements.
The bitter opposition of the heirs
of the Wyandottes to the removal Of
the remains of the Indians from the
cemetery was brought before con
gress as we'll as In the courts.
The case finally was argued beforc
the supreme court by Miss LYDIA Con
ley, representing the heirs, MISS
Conley was said to be the only lndiar
woman lawyer in the country anC
her appearance as counsel attracted
widespread interest. The court de
cided against her 1t held that 1t haC
no Jurisdiction In the matter
Senator Curtis will submit th'
facts to the committee on lndiaT
affairs, to which body his bill wal
referred, with recommendation
from the interior department that thu
