twenty-seven years old. is peacefully
ending q life crowded with rat e1-
Termination and other happy incl

of rats. She is light tabby, and
came to the sheds for refuge during
a fire at timber yard close by over
twenty-si1 years ago. having been
driven from her home in timber
stack by the flames. Tiger has al
ways been wild, and has obtained her
own food, consisting almost entirely
OF rats, OF which she would kill as
many as fourteen and fifteen in one
night. Her custom was to bring all
the rats alive to one Of the men en-
ployed in the shreds, and would not
eat one until she received permission.

Day after day Fullerton and his

fore any and every Long Island train

Then Fullerton bethought himself
of the method by which medieval
castles were defended. He ran a six
inch moat along both sides of the in
vaded stretch Of track and flooded 1t
with crude oil. Then did history re-
peat herself and tell over again the
story of the French cu'rassiers and
the sunhen road at Waterloo; rank
after rank of caterpillars dashed into
this moat of Fullerton's, but not g.

But though vanquished, they had

but never before has any army. either

The DANCER of Being a Man.

If present customs continue about the riskeSt
business will be that Of being ii man. In our
violent reaction from the ancient theory which
viewed male being as vastly more desirable than
female il seems as if The pendulum might swing
little too far the other way. Man. the unpopular
sex" seems 10 he the slogan of the hour.
We cite especially two cases. The one man was
shot bv a girl who made the gravest accusations
against her victim, but who now seems to have
cleaned her accusations from the moving picture
films. II is even doubtful whether she so much
as knew the object OF her bullets
The other male needle victim" That Is
TO saw he was accused by young woman of hav-
ing drugged her with needle but her charges
were promptly dismissed in court it seems more
fitting to regard the young man as the victim than
the young woman
These young men seem to have been doing moth
inc more villanous at the moment than walking
the streets or travelling in the subways Is II not
time for a little less hystera and a little more
common sense i'm our attitude toward that arch
fiend Of the universe. mere man?

Mismanaaement and Rates.

The conference of railroad commissioners in IT'S
report upon the Boston & Maine Railroad indi-
cafes what will become more and more the general
attitude toward higher rates for railroads. The
conferrees find that the Boston Maine needs
larger returns TO escape bankruptcy. but they OBJ
serye: "Clearly no increase in rates should be al
lowed until It is reasonably certain that the reve
MUGS Of this company will be prudently expended in
the public interest" And with regard to the pros
meet Of better management for the future the con-
ferrees say:
The directors of these railroad corporations are
both IN law and IN fact the source OF all authority.
They ought at least TO know whether the results
obtained by their appointees are satisfactory. NOW
while there have been some individual changes III
these boards Of directors, the majority of the mem
bership is the same to-day that II was year ago.
This is not reassurng for the future If these gen.
tlemen have I'm recent times given any actual aten-
ton 10 the management OF these properties their
failure TO see and 10 do is evidence of their con-
spicuous want OF fitness for the place II, upon the
other hand being vested with the duty of manage
ment they have utterly neglected that duty ana
known nothing about the operations or these com
NAMES that fact is even clearer evidence OF their
untness for these positions If the stockholders OF
tbesn mpanies would present the people of New
England a radically changed directorate this would
go far toward satisfying the public that some
substantial reform contemplated, or at least
that the directors would know what was happening.
To obtain generous treatment from the public
tho railroads must have the confidence of the
public. All the railroads suffer from the doubt
that Is cast upon the railroad management by
the Frisco revelations and those regarding the
Now Haven Railroad and It's subsidiary, the Boston
& Maine The stockholders pay the price. But
as tho conferrees point out. the stockholders, at
least after mismana cement has been made known,
have the remedy in their own hands

The Sleep Strike.

The harder John Bull seeks TO cope with the
militants the darker the eclipse Of masculine repu-
taton for omnscienCc by feminine Wit The sleep
strike" is the latest weapon invented by Miss
Sylvia Pankhurst to circumvcnt her jailerS Ana
in its first trial it seems to have been notably sue

The idea behind this new weapon was a desire
TO be liberated at the earliest possible moment IN
order to attend a scheduled public meeting. ne

are obliged to yield admiration to their eXtraor-
binary spirit The hunger strike, in itself requires
an iron will to enforce it. To add fight against
sleep is to ask Of human nature all but the i'm

Pbilippine Taste and Humor.

IL is an open question whether lack of good
taste or lack of sense of humor is the more con
spcuous in the Cardiac dinner episode We may
concedc that it was not nice thing for the mem
hers of the order to sing Damn, damn, damn the
insIrrectos" Yet If they have really been singing
that vulgar doggerel for thirteen years, 1t may well
be asked if they have not in that very fact been
sufficiently punished for it. Besides, Mr.. Bryan has
especially commended the book in which that song
is reported to the world and perhaps these post
prandia choristers meant to pay the deft compli-
ment Of showing that they had read the book which
he praised.
If any of the proceedings did surpass the limits
of discipline. they doubtless deserve rebuke. But

None but the Biggest Man for Speaker

BY the election of a Speaker and the organiza
ton of the Republican Assembly the Republican
party will be Judged rather than by any other event
of the legislative session. 1t is hopeful sign that
leaders of the progressive element of the party are
comforting on this most important subject and
that ASsemblymen are attending the meetings OF
an Assembly conference outspOkenly anti-boss in
its sentiments This is not the time for the cleo
ton of any but a modern, Embossed Speaker with
progressive views and capacity for leadership
and ability TO help his party carry such views into
realization.
OF the various candidates. discussion at the con
ference of progressive leaders was limited to
Messrs Hoff Horton Sullivan and Sweet Messrs.
Hoff and Sweet have represented their districts
faithfully but have not achieved great prominence
in the Assembly and do not seem to have developed
strength enough in their canvaSSes mp to date to
give them control of the caucus. Either Horton or
Sullivan would he candidate more attractive 10
the public at large because of pronounced support
of progressive legislation in recent years. The
Tribune reierates its belief that no man who does
not reach their stature should he the caucus choice
for the nomination for Speaker.
