A just Rebuke.

The following editorial from the
Corpus Christi (Texas) Caller voices
the sentiment of every fair-minded,
right-thinking man:
without solicitation, the Caller re-
ceives@ a repulsive sheet called the
Menace In tone, the Menace is
anti-C Catholic, and it's columns reek
with frayed ends of filth and scandal,
gathered together for no decent pur-
pose.
1.-The Caller is not dedicated to the
fortunes or dogmas of any religion.
It processes to stand for the best in
all religions, irrespective of particu.
lar claims. For the Catholic church
and much of the splendid work
achieved by the Catholic church, it
has the utmost admiration. No
church is infallible, judged by its
representatives
The Menace is well named. It
is, in every sense Of the word, a
menace to those calm standards OF
civilization which make for humani-
tvs best and most substantial pro-
gress. Tt is a viper flattened out on
innocent paper-ribald debaunch O.
every instinct which represents the
better judgment of the masses. It's
only merit is that it furnishes bot
tom for the waste paper basket,
which in turn consigns it's burden
to she garbage can.
"If the entire press Of the coun-
try would unite in condemning all
scurrilous attacks on any religious
sect, their influence, if they have
any, would soon be counteracted.

The first dramatic performance was
enacted Monday, when departure

After a considerable amount Of dis
cussion and augmentation, the Sc
nior class has adopted it's official
class ring. The various maneuvers
connected with this matter have re-
suited in denunciation of the artis-
tic temperament of the gentlemen of
the class by the goods. The ring
will not be SO conspicuous as hereto
fore, the young ladies arguing that
this showed a distressing lack Of
taste.
The second number of the Lyceum
course offered by the Y. M. G.. A.

production was in every way an ex.

than has been the case heretofore.

The Billion-DoIIar Cattle-Tick,

In the live stock and dairy depart
ment OF the current issue of Farm
and Fireside appears a report of the
ravages of the cattle-tick. In one
month during the past summer over
half a. million cattle were dipped for
ticks in three states-Alabama, Ten
nessee and Mississippi. One county
tHolmes, in MississippD, maintains
.lS5 dipping baths. The cattle are
all dipped in the standard arsenical
solution provided by the United
States Department Of Agriculture
! Following is an extract from the ar
ticle which presents some interesting
facts about ticks:
The cattle-tick is little fellow,
but he makes his mark in the leather
/ business and otherwise.
"A tick-free animal kept for beef
or dairy purposes is worth, as an ini-
| tial investment, seven dollars more
than one remaining infested: and
when the animal comes to the block
there is an additional difference of
/ $1.26 in the hide value.
The tick, in abstracting his bloody
banquet from his host, leaves pune.
ture4marks in the hide, which when
converted into leather will not furnish
the popular chrome stock.
s"Our great southern territory, in
Guiding the major portion of fifteen
states, has been held back from its
rightful heritage Of prosperity for
| generations on account of the
sidious activity of the cattle
tick. A billion dollars each decade
will not measure the loss that must
be charged up to the tick in the ter
ritory affected.
ssWhat Tennessee has practically
completed in tick-eradi cation under
the direction of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is being
more slowly accomplished in most Of
the tick-infested states, and the end
of the reign Of this mighty mite is at
! hand. The battle has been won by
the simple practice Of dipping at in
/ tervals all affected stock in conjunc-
tion with systematic quarantine regu-

Newark, N. j., Evening Star:
This is the story, told In verse, OF
how Sonny Boy went to the Zoo and

The Horse Still Holds His Own.

The following, showing that the
horse is holding his own against the
automobile, is taken from the current
issue of Farm and Fireside:
''Reports from the Union Stock

fact that there are now employed in
Chicago 72,939 horses, or only 287
less than a year ago. In Boston the
number of horses is only so less than

 The Military Situation.

Grant for his relief.
 From Chattanooga we have the re- port that our troops are on the eve or a battle. With the control of our army in the hands of such men as Generals Grant. Sherman. and Thomas it seems hardly possible that the result of the conflict should not be glorious to our arms.
 The advances from Charleston in- dicate increased activity on the part of our commanders, but the people have become so accustomed to delay from that quarter that they can tol- crate a little more of it.
