WHsN THE PETS SUFFER.

A large gray cat leaped TO death
from a l3.story window of a New
York hotel. and n telegram gives the
explanation that the animal committed
suicide in this way because Its mis-
tress had sailed for Europe. leaving II
behind. says the Pittsburg Chronicle
Telegraph. Whether the cat commit
ted suicide or not Is immaterial. but
the incident does serve a purpose In
calling attention TO a pathetic side OF
the vacation season In thousands OF
homes all over the country there are
household pets, such as dogs and cats
and birds, and as many of these homes
are closed during the summer, or at
least for several weeks, the pets are
in most instances left to sniff for
themselves. For the sake OF the songs
lhere are nelghbors who will take
charge of the canaries during the alb
sence of their owners, but for the dogs
and the cats there are, as rule, only
harsh words and buffetings from the
neighbors. and sticks and stones
from the urchins of the community,
and the poor creatures, homeless.
friendless, and abused, are indeed OBJ
Jects of pity. 1t would be much more
humane for the owners Of these pets
TO put them to death before going
away on their vacation trips, instead
of leaving them TO their fate, but the
practice of deserving them goes on
year after year.

eUTTED TO DEATH BY RAM
Mrs. Anton cite ZoI Found Dead in
Her Cowshed.

Muskegon, Mich. - That Mrs.
Antoinette Zoll, of Conklin, who was
found dead in a cowshed in the rear
of her farm home was not murdered,
but came to her death by being
butted by a ram, is the conclusion
practically arrived at by officers In
vestigating the case.
The sheep was found in the fields,
its horns bloody and large patch of
blood on the back of its neck, The
theory is that the ram attacked Mrs.
Zoll as she ran around the house in
terror and finally knocked her down
When it left her. 1t is thought she
managed to drag herself into the
shed, where she died.

MERELY ADMc NlSHMENT
Wilson Does Not Ask for Condien
Punishment for Wiley.

Washington.-It is known here
that Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
in a report to President Taft, has
recommended that DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, the pure food expert, be ad-
monished, but not dismissed Sec
retary Wilson, it is understood, de-
clares leniency must be shown DR..
Wiley because of his valued services
to the government in the past and
his usefulness for the future. For
this reason he apparently does not
believe that "condign punishment"
should be meted out in the case.
Under the recommendation the
President will be able to retain DR..
Wiley in his position, as 1t has been
believed all the time he would do,
without seeming to ignore the advice
of his attorney general. Thus an
embarrassing situation will be
avoided.

SGorn for Scandalmoneers.

The acrimony OF spirit and
the intense malice that have
been engendered in respect of
the administration of the gov
ernment in Alaska and in the
consideration OF measures pro-
posed for her relief and the
wanton recklessness and eager
ness with which attempts have
been made to besmirch the char
acters of high officials having to
do with the Alaskan govern
ment, and even OF persons not
in public life, present condi-
tion that calls for condemnation
and requires that the public be
warned of the Generalization
that has been produced by the
hysterical suspicious of good
people and the INSCRIPTIONS and
corrupt misrepresentation of
the wicked. The helpless state
to which the credulity of some
and the malevolent scandal
mongering of others have
brought the people of Alaska
in their struggle for its de-
velopment ought to give the
