He was a postmaster, and rats in
his Office were playing havoc with
registered letters, so he wrote to his
chief, and his chief wrote to his chief,
and so the matter went on, till about
six months later, when he was older
and greyer, he received official per-
mission to keep a couple Of cats and
provide for their cost in milk. For
month all went well, but then he
was compelled to forward to head
quarters this orninous message:
81 have the honor to inform you
that the senior cat is absent without
leave. What shall l do?"
The rats were busy again, and it
was impossible to wait another six
months for official directions, so he
took the matter into his own strong
hands, and a week later wrote:
IRE absent cat. / have promoted
the junior cat, and have taken into
government service a probationary
cat on full rations."
The high officials are still trem-
bling at his audacity.

PROTEST

Washington, June 5.-Japan's latest
word in her protest against the Cali
fornia anti-alien land law is before
the president today and is waiting to
be presented to the cabinet at the reg
ular semi weekly meeting tomorrow.
It is more than probable that the cabi-
net will consider this rejoinder only in
preliminary way. as Secretary Bryan
expects to leave the city soon after the
meeting for Pittsburgh to attend a
banquet to Geo. w. Guthrie, the newly
appointed ambassador to Japan. .
Wilson arranged conference at 4
O'Clock this afternoon with Viscount
Chinda, ambassador from Japan, to
discuss the Tokyo governments latest
note. 1t is the first time the ambassa-
dor has availed himself of his privi-
lege of addressing himself directly to
the president as personal represent
ative of his sovereign.
Bryan will confer with the president
before the ambassador.

CUSTOMS PLAN

Washington, June 5.-Secretary S. Nc
Adoo has recommended to congress the
postponement of the customs reorgan-
ization plan until Jan. /, 1914, because
of the objections against it and be-
cause he believes it contains imperfec-
tions. The secretary. however, ap-
proves of the principle of reorganiza-
ton. Practically every customs port
in the United States will be affected
by the decision.
In recommending a. postponement
of six months he suggests that con-
arass amend the law so that the plan
of reorganization must result in the
saving of half million upon the ex-
pense Of the customs service for the
current year. 5tsE 49,.
