CAT MUST NOT BE STRUCK
Other Method Of Punishment Is REQ
commended by an Authority on
tho Subject.

1t isn't very nice task to punish
pussy II you're fond Of her, but there
are times when she must be chas-
tised. This is how to do it, according
to Louis Vain, the great authority on
the fascinating feline.
In the first place, don't actually
strike the cat. A blow merely numbs
1t. And when the spine, which is its
most sensitive part, Is struck-par.
dcularly II the cat is old-it 10 likely
to spring at the striker.
When pussy does anything wrong,
brighten the wrongdoer by striking q
stick in the ground. A cat is most
sensitive to sounds, and will connect
this new noise with what It has done.
1t feels. more intensely than most ami
mails; hence its supposed savagery In
cases. Cats are highly electrical, and
1t Is very good to have one perch on
ones shoulder or knees.

y REMARKABLE RETREAT.

Minneapolis Journal: When ii
was first charged by Judge Parker
that corporations were bearing the
brunt of the republican campaign
in 1904, Colonel Roosevelt denied the
allegations with much, heat. Parkers
charge was made on the stump in a
little Connecticut town a few days
before election. 1t appears that sew,
eral days before Parker opened his
mouth on the subject, Colonel Roose
welt had sent orders to return the
Standard Oil contribution.
When the charge was made again
recently by Senator Penrose, Colonel
Roosevelt said that if corporations
had made contributions, he had not
known it. But it now appears that
he knew things that caused him to
write to Mr.. Cortelyou to return
Archbold's money.
When Mr.. Archbold testified that
his money had not been returned
Colonel Roosevelt declared that there
was no direct evidence that he had
ever given any money-only his
word against the word of Chairman
Cortelyou
When ]. Pierpont Morgan admit.
ted on the stand that he had con.
tributed one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars, Colonel Roosevelt said
What of it? No pledges had been
made and no obligations had been
incurred. ~
When it was limited that obliga-
lions might be inferred from such
huge contributions, Colonel Roose.
welt said that one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars was no more to
Morgan than twenty dollars to a
widow who gave him that sum at
the railroad station.
/, All along the line there appears to
be a weakening of the moral fiber.

THE REAL PRoGREssIvEs.

reasons, says The Minneapolis Trib

But, an increasing number of these

Roosevelt and his favored trust and
political boss lieutenants in it's or
ganlzation and management revealed
It's sole principle and purpose.
The only real progressive motive

presidential term from the traditional
eight years to an indefinite length

HOW TRUSTS THRIvED.

Sam Y Gordon, while in the throes
of enthusiasm, gave publicity to the
following: "We predict that Theo-
dore Roosevelt will carry Mime
sofa in spite of the poor manner in
which his campaign in this state is
being managed. Roosevelt is feared
more by the bosses and the big bust
ness seeking special privilege, than
any other public man today. Roos-
evelt's ability to cope with this
crowd is the real reason why the
voters should support him in the
election"
Oh piffle! When did Roosevelt
ever show his teeth to the Steel
Trust, Harvester Trust, the railroad
combination and others of like char
acter? Do not overlook the fact
that trusts thrived under his admin
istration. They grew fiat and
sassy" during the seven years that
he was president. He was not
averse to dining and lunching with
the Morgans, Harrimans, and others
whose grip on the threats of the
populace is tight. When did the
Terrible Teddy" ever make a move
that might tend to loosen that
grip?

but when Mr.. Eberhart became gov
ernor returned to his farm near
Oshawa, was killed yesterday at the
home of a neighbor, by being kicked
by stallion. Mr. Kneefe had gone
over to the farm of a neighbor,
John Bresnaham, in the morning to
help thresh, but when it started to
rain the horses were unhitched and
put in the barn. ....-
Kicked by Two Horses. e..
When walking behind his team in
the barn one of the horses kicked
at the other and hit him, knocking
him under the heals of a vicious
stallion The stallion became fright
ened and kicked Mr.. Kneefe on the
side of the head, cutting off one ear
and fracturing the skull He died at
noon yesterday. He leaves a wife
and nine children.
Mr.. Kneefe was prominent
farmer and welltodo. He was
about sixty years old. ....
Man HAD Been InreSninS.
The st. Peter Tribune contains the
story of the sad affair: Patsey
Kneefe of Oshawa was kicked in
the head by a stallion yesterday
morning about 1880 o'clock and so
seriously injured that he died six
hours later. ..
While the men were engaged in
threshing at the home of John Bres-
naham yesterday it commenced to
rain, and Mr.. Kneefe was leading a
team of horses into the barn. One of
them became fractions and kicked
Mr.. Kneefe under the heels of a
stallion who in turn again kicked
Mr. Kneefe striking him back of the
ear and fracturing the skull Medi-
cal aid was at once summoned, but it
was of no avail, and he died at about
one o'clock.
Highly Respected Citizen. ..u
| Mr. Kneefe was well known citizen
having been born and reared in the
| town of Oshawa. About nine years
ago he was injured in the dynamite
explosion at the creamery in that
township losing the fingers from one
of his hands.
He left the farm few years ago,
and lived in st. Paul where he was
employed as one of the ground men
at the capitol. About year or
more ago he resigned his position
and moved back to Oshawa. He was
an upright, honorable man, held in
| the highest regard by all who knew
him. His sudden death is a shock
| to his numerous friends.
