Please state what tho "cat and
mouse" law in Great Britain 10.
That is nickname coined by the
British militant suffragists for an act
passed last spring. 1t was introduced
as government measure and was
called the prisoners temporary dis
charge for i'll health bill. It provides
that whenever prisoners health be-
came impaired by reason of the prison
er's conduct in prison so as to make it
undesirable to keep him in prison the
secretary of state might at his discre-
ton order the temporary discharge of
such prisoner "for such period and sub
ject to such conditions as may be stat
ed In the order" A prisoner so tempo
rarily discharged is still under SEN
tence and returnable to prison at the
discretion of the authorities. The act
did not mention woman suffragists, but
it was framed to meet the case of hun
ger strikes. The women at once nick
named 1t the cat and mouse bill be-
cause it proposed to let prisoners 60
for little play spell, in which they
might eatand drink and be merry and
then be remanded to Jail.

Arc there any statistics showing the
relative number Of national banks and
private banks in the United States and
their relative deposits?
The report of the comptroller Of the
currency showed that on Sept. 4. 1912
there were 1897 national banks with
$4,808, 937.0 900 Of individual deposits
subject to check, $4O7, $3.50 of de-
mand certificate deposits and $780,
100000 of time certificates of deposit
The comptroller estimated the number
Of private banks, Sept. 4, 1912, at
1900, but only LILO had made reports,
and these had individual deposits Of
1852. 494!OOO.
Was there q woman in the last cleo.
toral college? II 90, who was she and
from what state?
Mrs. Margaret Lane Witcher was
elected as Republican elector from
Utah. she being at the time clerk of
the county court of Salt Lake county.
What was the pay Of members Of
congress at the beginning Of the gov.
eminent? ~s
1t was Sc a day while in session from
the First congress until 1914, when
they fixed it at $500 a year without
regard to the length of the session.
This caused considerable excitement
throughout the country. and several
members who voted for the Increase
were defeated IN the next election.
The act was repealed, but there have
been several increases since.

Useless Prayers,

An earnest young preacher in a re-
mote country village concluded long
and comprehensive supplication by say
ing, "And now let us pray for those
who are dwelling in the uninha bited
portions Of the EARTH"
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1914-02-11

Why is She president Of the United
States required to kiss the Bible on
taking the oath Of Office?
There is no such requirement, and
the ceremony is not essential. 1t grew
out of the fact that an early law Of
Maryland made that ceremony part Of
legal oath, and the custom was con-
tinued in the District of Columbia, but
1t Is not essential, nor is any particu-
lar form of oath. Jews are sworn on
the Pentateuch, keep on their hats and
conclude their oath with $50 help me
jehovah" and If Jew were elected
president he would be permitted to
take the oath Of Office in that form.
What president Of the United States
received the largest majority Of votes
in the electoral college?
Washington, of course, who was
twice elected unanimously, receiving
all the votes in the electoral college,
and John Adams, the next highest
number, making him vice president.
When was the first stamp made and
under what conditions?
Stamps of various kinds have been
used and for various purposes; but,
assuming that you mean postage
stamps, they were first used in Eng
land with the Introduction of cheap
postage in 1910. They were intro
duced in Russia in 1916, in Switzer-
land in 1916 and in the United States
by act Of congress March 3. 1S47, the
first issued being a five cent stamp
bearing the head Of Franklin and a
ten cent one with a portrait Of Wash
ington.
Why are unfeeIina Or insensitivs per-
sons called stoics? We are told that
somebody endured pain like a stole.
What does it meant
Hundreds of years before the birth
of Christ Greek philosopher founded
a new school Of philosophy of a ma
terialistic character and calculated to
make its followers Indifferent to al
most anything. The founder Of the
school made his teaching headquarters
in certain porch or colonnade ut
Athens called the stoa. which, being
handsomely painted and decorated,
made an attractive resort for those
who wished to hear him expound his
doctrines. From their meeting in the
stoa they came to be called stoics, and
eventually that name was applied to
all who accepted the leaders teach
ings, as many did, for in those days
every new school Of philosophy had its
followers. From stoics came stoicism,
stoical. ETC., all indicative Of superior
ity to circumstances.

says to find the number Of tons In q
