OVER LIVE GOALS

Minnie was only a gray cat of the East Side alleys, but she was of the stuff of which martyrs are made. for Minnie ran through fire on live coals and dked to save her kittens.
 Three years ago winter wind whipped down Mulberry Street and blew the gray cat into old Police Headquarters, now the office of Chief Magistrate McAdoo. Her thin sides showed that frozen streets yield poor living, and she was so unpreposses- sing generally that some of the occu- pants of the old building tried to shoo her out. Her only friend was Supt. Furlong.
 "We need cat," said he. This place is overrun with rats"
 Minnie rewarded Furlong for his faith in her. If there was one thing she could do it was to kill rats. Yes terday Furlong couldn't remember when he had last seen rat.
 But Minnie's life was not all war

THE FISHERS WIDOW.

The boats go out and the boats came
 in, Under the wintry sky; And the rain and foam are white in

 wild,
 Swept by the windy rain; And her hearts a-weary of sea and

 As the long Gays wane. She sees the torn sails fly in the foam, Broad on the sky line grey, And the boats go out and the boats
 come in, But there's one that's away.

THE LOG-ROLLING SPIRIT.

Here is the common talk that one hears in the Hobbies of all legislative bodies, from Congress down to state legislatures and city councils:
 'I would like to vote with you, you're all right on that bill But you know can't, because if I do can't get Smiths and Jones's vote on that little bill for my district
 A large proportion of legislators don't vote on the merits of proposi-l tions. They feel compelled ito trade and swap with those whose influence they need.
 E The voters deplore all this log roll ing. Yet they keep on voting for men who side step vital issues and aren't willing to show up where they stand.
 Wanted: More men who don't feel it's a terrible thing not to get reA elected.
 Wanted: More men who are smart enough to succeed in private life and who areawilling to take few chances of defeat as the resunlt of independent following of convictions. With these wants supplied, there will be less log rolling.
