_ WHEN:THE PETS SUFFER. " a large gray cat leaped to death g Bcomi a 13-story Windovg of a New York hotel, and a telegram gives the_ explanation that the-animal committed guicide in this’ way because its mistress had sailed for Europe, leaving it ‘behind, says the Pittshurg ChronicleTelegraph. Whether the cat committed ‘suicide or not 1§ immaterial, but the fncident doe'sjser_vé a purpese in calling attention to a pathetic side of _the vacation season. _ln thousands of homes all over the country there are ‘ousehold pets, such as dogs and eats and birds, and as many of these homes ~ere closed during the summer, or at least for several weeks, the pets are in- most’ instances. left to shift. for themselves.. For the sake of the songs , there are neighbers- who will take charge of the canafies during the absence of their .owners, but for the dogs® * and the cats there are, as a rile, only -harsh words and buifetings from the ‘“neighbors, and ‘sticks and -stones from ths urchins of the community, - and the roor creatures, homeless, friendless, and abused, are indeed objects of pity. It would be much more = humane for .the ownérs of these pets to put them. to death before going away on their vacation trips, instead of leaving them ta their’ fate, but the ~ practice of deserting them goes on - year after year. - e

TELLS HOW HE MADE $l,OOO BY - LORIMER VOTE.: ; - Throws Interesting Light on Legisla- . tive Life, Including Receipt of: : : Railroad Passes. Washington. = Charles A. White, former member of the Illinois legislature, toid in detail before the senate investigating committee the story of the alléged -corruption in"connection with the electicn of Senator William Lorimer. Attorney Madrble, counsel for the! committee, led:White to tell his story in narrative form, taking all events'in their chronological order. ' White received Pullman passes. Transportation: could| be exchanged among members, and destinations on Pullman passes could be altered to suit the convenience of the holders. Then the committee took -up the actual confession. White said that on the night of the twenty-fourth, 1909, Lee O’Neill Browne, Democratic leader, first -asked him to vote for Lorimer. : i “Browne gave me $lOO about the time the legislature adjourned, a few days later. I saw Browne Juné 186, at. the Briggs house, in Chicago. He gave me $5O that night, and told me to call again the next day. I did so, and he gave me $B5O, making $l,OOO in all. He wore a belt, in-which he was carrying about- $30,000.” ° : White said he met Wilson, and Representatives Clark, Shepard, Luke and Link at the hotel. “Luke was complaining about the amount of money he had received,” said White. “He said he only got $9OO, and he could have had $1,500 earlier in the session. “I told Luke 1 hadn’t been paid to vote for Lorimer. He said, ‘Oh, yes you were. ‘You got sl,6oo—same as the rest of us.’ . SR

“I asked him if he had been given Lorimer money. He said he had—that he had made his'deal direct with Lorimer. ; L . “We went up to Wilson’s room in the hotel. Shepard .went into . the bathroom with Wilson. : When he came out, Wilsen called me into the bathroom, and gave me-$9OO. ‘There’s all of it,” he said, ‘and I'm glad to be relieved of the burden.” 5 “He satd that the governor had vetoed some of the bills for which money was to have been distributed. Then he said that Browne was sick, and. that was the reason why he (Wilson) had to come 'ddwnéto distribute the money.” : : : - White said that he met Representa-’-tive Beckemeyer on a nearby street E that day: Beckemeyer later confessed | to taking bribe money. : )

LUNATICS BURNED T 0 DEATH Eight Die.in Asylum Fire at Hamilton, Ont.—Many Knocked Senseless ) and Saved. ‘ . Hamilton, Ont.—The loss of eight lives, and desperate struggles with maniacs who fought against rescue attended a fire' which destroyed one of the main buildings of the insane asylum- on the side of the mountain ‘southwest of the city. . There were 800 patients in the building when the fire was discovered and only a well-trained fire-fighting corps. and admirable coolness and bravery on the part of the nurses and attendants under Doctor English pre vented a greater loss of life. The fire started on the fourth floor, where the violent insane were kept. Most of the men, guarded by attendants, moved down three flights of stairs out of the fire zone in ordet: ly procession; but about twenty, driven to frenzy by the smoke and excitement of a midnight fire, fought off their rescuers with desperate fury. : s : The city firemen ran scaling ladders up to the third and fourth floor win dows. Crawling ‘into the Atifling smoke, the firemen groped their way about ‘until they found a maniac. He was still able to offer resistance, and it was necessary to knock him sense: less, when he was. dropped -into the life nets below. Eight of the insane and one attendant who had lost consciousness were.saved in this way.

HE Chinese . wall, marvelouas barriéer extending more than ; © 1,700 - miles over mountain and valley, is doomed. It is said that under the rule of the rew regent, Prince Chum, a progressiveness will. be carried to a point where not only will the old order of government see its. downfall; but all that physically recalls the past will also be destroyed. : ’ Tradition is the yoke that binds China. It is the obstacle that has kept that country of marvelous resources back. Prince Chun knowg this, and it is said that in_his desire to effect reform he will not content himself with merely establishing new methods in his systems of government, but will actually wipe, out the physical relics which keep. the face of China turned to the past rather than to the future. Of all these survivals, the Chineze wall is the most famous and the most wonderful. The countries of power in the world today were unknown when this structure was built to keep. out the invader. - In cataloguing the wonders of the world, it has never been possible to make a classification that omitted the Chinese wall. It was 200 years old when Christ came to earth, but even then it was not the work of a young nation, for China has a history that can be traced back for 6,000 years. "The -project for tearing down the Chinese wall originated some years ago, and it is said that the late empress and her son, whose deaths coming to close together ~so suddenly changed-'the whole aspect ‘of the future for China, had consented t olish the wall, and had even sigme contracts for its removal when superstitious fear seized them and the order was ‘revoked. ¢ E . Descended as they both were from the Tsin dynasty that bullt the great barrfer, and having that wership of ancestry that ‘is déeply ingrained in the beliefs of the Mongolian, they teared at the last moment to commit this sacrilege on ‘the-masterwork of the dead. . _ . But Prince*Chun, who as regent for the two-year-old baby emperor, is possessed of full aﬁthor‘lty, has no such scruples. He is not the offspring of emperors and there is nothing to hold him in check. He is known to have gtrongly advanced ideas and to be especially” independent and secornful where the old ideas of- the past are concerned. Therefore, it is probable that he will carry the work of demolition to a finish, The interest in whether he does so goes farther than the mere question of the wall. It has to do indirectly with the future of the immense hordes who people the country. The wall is the symbol of the ancient that holds the country in.check. If he be brought down ghe moderpists will take it as a ‘sign that the new ruler will during his stay as regent enforce the new ideals. If in spite of his impulses he is wont to let the 'great wall stay, China will settle back lazily and comfortably and decide that nothing radfcal will occur under the 'present regime. i ' : © This is the situation that now gives such an extraordinary interest to the old line of fortifications. Modern artillery would speedily reduce the last vestige of the ancient barrier, but it was. not built to withstand this kind of attack, and in the days. when it reared its head over the landscape, it was an impassable stronghold.

"Man's Great Piece of Work, The visitor who gazes at this stupendous construction is made to feel very modest as to the skill of the modern engineer. Experts of all nations have named it as the most astounding piece of work éyer performed by man, -Even _over the pyramids and the sphinx it is given the credit. : In. imagination " the spectator 'is moved back 20 centuries to the times ‘{hat Shi-Hoangti, the greatest of Chinese heroes, reigned. China then led the world in wealth and culture and the .nation had a ' great literature: Rich rewards of conquest constantly inspired the. Mongols, wild tribes who lived in the country now called Mon.golia, to make forays. They had invaded the country on the northern part, and,K were ~encroaching further toward Pekin and the provinces of the'south. It was in this crisis that Shi-Hoangti performed the feats of valor that made his name forever famous in Chinese song and poem. As--sembling a mighty- army, he threw himself on the Mongolian . hordes, fought them, defeated them, and sent them ftying back from Chinese territory. - - But it was not enough fo have downed the enemy. The Mongols always came back. They had a per‘tinaeity that made them. the most dangerous of foes. . Therefore, it became _necessary to construct a barrier that would unfailingly perform its duty. Everything had to be done by hand, for the great engineering devices that today accomplish the work of 6§oo ~-men had not then been invented. But fortunately labor was plenty In this

most thickly populated country in the world, and swiftly the great wall moved into its place, grira and powerful and able to withstand any assault that Mongols might make. - Its battlemented walls are 50 feet high, and at-every few hundred feet they bristle with towers where in days of yore Chinese warriors stood ever ready to repel the invader. e Of Mortared Brick and Stone. . The wall is- 25 feet wide and is built for the greater part of its way of mortared brick and stone. “When the Ming dynasty.had come into power it duplicated for a considerable extent Shi-Hoangti’s wall, and thus for a large part of the distance there is.a double barrier. e The most, powerful part of the wall is that at Pa-ta-ling, for this gate was bnly 60 miles from Pekin, and here it was that any charges directed against the greatest and richest city of the nation would have to be repulsed. One great battle was fought here, for at ‘the top-of the Nankou pass the gate was the scene of the last stand against the noted Mongolian warrior, Genghis Khan, and when he overrode the defenders. it was down the pass and through the gate that the conmqueror ted his forces. HMe took the Mongols into China and conquered a country against which his people had been fighting for 1,300 years. e Kublg Khan also entered by this pass when he completed the conquest of China and made his realm the greatest the world ‘had ever known. Genghis Khan and Kubla Khan were %i\fferently dispositioned. G"’engnis burned\all the literature of China, rbut Kubla protected the literature .and ;hel'ped along the people by wise measures that gave prosperity in agriculture and commerce. Kubla fixed: places in the wall that had been ravaged by the wars of the centuries and undertook to restore tranquillity -im the country. Some historians have said that the great wall accounted for the sloth into which China fell. The huge barrier, which even today shows itselt to be stoutly built, gave the people a¢ sense of security and made them. feel that no nation could overwhelm them. Centuries passed in this foolish delusion, and when the war with Japan came China discovered that she had been sleeping for centuries. ; Since the humiliation of that defeat by the Mikado a -detérmination has. grown up among the younger element of the people to earn a place among the great nations of the world. ‘The old dowager empress and the weakling emperor stood in the way. Now they are gone, and the country looks with hope to the strong man who is now at the helm. it is probable that before long China will feel, no matter how the remainder of the world may regret, the passing of a tamous relic, that 'a new era has dawned. . ;

Father of Antiseptic Surgery. Lord Lister, who recently cele brated his eighty-fourth birthday, is [the medical . genius who discovered and introduced the antiseptic method of surgery, thereby making- possible the almost incrédible operations performed by doctors today. Before his discovery it is estimated that nearly 53 per oent of surgical operations proved fatal, owing to septic poisoning. Lord. Lister, like many other scientists, has a wide interest’ in things, and his powers of observatidh are -abnormal.

MacDonald of Washington rented a farm a few miles outside of the city to escape the din and noise of town; but soon itred of the trouble of looking after the place. “I'm going to hire a manager to look after-this farm,” he told his family at breakfast one morning. ‘Then I won’t have any more trouble, -He can occupy a room on the top floor, and we will all have a quiet, easy time.” 5 MacDonald leaned back and smiiled gserenely in anticipation of the coming rest and peace. ; : That night, as the new manager passed htrough the hall on his way upstairs, MacDonald stepped out and asked him if he cared to have the afternoon paper. : i }*No, thank you,” replied the fount of rest and quiet. “I have a flute on which I always practice two hours before going to bed.”—Twice-a-Month Popular, e ; o An Even Thing.

U. S, FRANCE AND BRITAIN TAKE “INITIAL STEPS TO END NN . WORLD WARS. . 3 SEND DISPUTES TO HAGUE e In Case off Disagreement as to Whether Subject Is Justiciable, Com- ' . mission of Experts Will | Decide. ! ) Washington.—ln the presence of President Taft and a notable company of government officials in the president’'s library in the White House, two international arbitration treaties, designed fo end the possibilify of war between the United States and Great Britain and the United States and France, were signed. ) : Secretary of State Knox signed the two treaties in b¥half of the United ‘States. James Bryce, the British ambassador, ailixed his signature in be--half of Great Britain, thus completing the Anglo-American pact, with the ex--eeption of ratification by the senate. The French treaty was signed in "duplicate in Paris six hours earlier by J. J. Jusserand, ambassador to the United States. - As soon as the copies of the two treaties .had been signed President Taft affixed his signature to two measures for transmittal to the senate. It was thought at first that an exchange on the Franco-American treaty would be necessary before-it could be sent to the senate. Later on official notification from Paris of the signature th@r@;"Went Taft de“cided to rush the treaties at once to the senate in the hope of securing action at this session. * i : The general features of the new treaties are: . . All differences in ationally justiciable shal submitted to The Hagueinless by special agreement ; Some other tribunal is created or selected. ) i ' - Differences that either - country thinks are not justicable shall bclyreferred- to ,a commission of inquiry composed of nationals of the two governments, empowered to makg recommendations for their settlement. Should the commission decide - that the dispute should be arbitrated, such decision will bhe binding. ) ~ Before arbitration is resorted to even in cases where both (’burltl‘ie’%, agree that the_ difference is susceps tible of arbitration, the commission of inquiry shall investigate the disputg - with a view of récommending a settlé: ment without arbitration. il . The comniission, at request of eithgz':‘g - government. will delay its findings one: ~Year to give an opportunity for diple- - matic settlenment. ) | The |donvention grew directly out of | Prosi]!d:(vnr Taft's- speech in Washingtom, D;ec'émber 18 last, before the | Amoriqan Society for the Judi'cial Settlement of international disputes, in - which. he said: - | “If now we can negotiate and put }thTough a positive agreement with ; some great nation to.abide the adjudication eof an intermafional arbitral court in every issue which cannot be. settled by negotiation, no matter what it involves, whether honor, territory, or mceney, we shall have made a long step forward by demonstrating that it is possible for two nations at least to establish, as between them, the same_ system of due process of law that exists between individuals under a government.” ’ )

PASS LARGER HOUSE BILL Senate Ad‘opts‘Measuf'e Raising Mambership in Lower Branch of Con- "+ gress From 391 to 433.° - Washington.—The congressional reapportionment bill passed the senate by an ‘undivided vote, but the measure, 4s it came from the house, was 50 arilend‘ed as to 'safegqard against gerrymandering of. congressional districts by the state. . ° The measure .gives the house 433 members, an increase of 42 over the present representation. - This does not’ include the new members which will be sent from Arizona and New Mexico. The bil]l will go immediately to the house, where it coriginated, and, it is expected, will be accepted in its present form and sent to the president. No state loses, and many gain, il the number of representatives. C The measure will become effective in less than two years. Its passage was largely assured by a sentiment of concession to fhe house of its right to regulate its own organization affairs. The Democratic cotton bill cutting an average of 21 per cent. from the present duty passed the house, all the Democrats and thirty insurgents voting for it. The total vote was 202 to 91. The bill cuts the-average tariff on cotton manufactured goods from 48 to 27 per cent, ad valorem, a 21 per cent. reduction in duty that the Democratic leaders estimate to reduce revenue by about $3,000,000. Not an amendment was offered to the bill.

*MARCUSE, CALIFORNIA, LAND FOR PROFITABLE FARMING. " Marcusge Col;ipy, located in Sutter County, which is in the heart of the Sacramento Valley, is fast coming to the front as a farming community in which nearly every'agricultural product known may be successfully raised without irrigation. : The soll is a dark, sandy loam, sedimentary in character, level and§ well drained. It has the. advantage | over other soils in that it is loose in charatter and superior to heavy soils. | With this wealth of soll, abundance of water, unexcelled climdte and long growing season, Marcuse Colony is the ideal place for the homeseeker with limited- means, the worn out professional man, or the young man looking for a small farm in a healthful climate. - The proximity of Marcuse Colony to Sacfamento, furnishes a ready market for vegetables, -poultry, eggs and dairy. products. Fruits, vegetables, alfalfa, grains and grassés and poultry yvield large returns. . The rainfall is certain and drought i{s unknown. ' Land is yet moderately priced, but crop failures in other sections of the United States will bring new settlers in rapidly. This, together -with the holding of the Panama Pacific Exposition in San. Francisco during 1915, is bound to raise the price, and whether for a home, or for an investment, now is the time to purthase. Land may be had in tracts suitable to the’ means of all and the results obtained are almost beyond belief.
