A CAT.
There is dead yellow cat gradually
scattering his, or her, decaying mor
C-'ity along the babbling rivulets
that coarse their playful way down
ocurt house hill. That cat is in
reed of burial. Its voice has long
been hushed to silence. Its little
yt-Uow hands are crossed and its
whiskers are aged and grey Maggie.
Bom with nine lives. It began to
hang out nights until it wasted them
all in riotous living. From this a
moralist might draw a lesson to im
I rr ve the conduct of the one life
winch so many of us are carelessly
monkeying with.
The cat ha\ ing crawled under the
stairs leading to the federal building,
and then and there dying, lias left
tiie disposition of its torso somewhat
complicated both in a legal and ma
terial way. Having died prior to
the promulgation of this month s re
vamping of game laws, no govern
c ent official has authority over it.
and without instruct jobs from Wash
ington or an act of congress the fur
bearing animal may not be remo\ed
l>v any official without lability to
Laving charges preferred against him.
Some parts of the defunct kitty
have been washed out into the
street where ;t comes under the juris
diction of the municipal government,
b "t election coming on next week.
?t is doubtful if the council would
hazard their reelection by injecting
a dead, yellow cat into the cam
paign. Poor pussy is being dragged
a-ound by dogs and her yellow fuzz
is juggled by the four winds of hea
**n. Quoting from the Iliad, not bc
i.iuse it applies, but to show our
familiarity with the classics, let us
?vy that tabby's
??Kvtj- uabutietl on the naked shore
Devouring dogs and hungry vul
tures tore."
Not only does th.s de< '>?sed feline
threaten the foundations of political
Itrmanemy in Ketchikan, but other
cauees are piling up to hasten the
revolt of the offended public. * Men
tell us that sewer pipes have burst,
women tell us that other women are
dumping rubbish in the highways and
tyways Some of these gentle crea
tures get so earnest in describing the
conduct of their neighbors that w-e
almost believe the sou! of the dead.

THE BORES.
One follow loans upon my should
er. when he would talk to me: and
U en I wisN I had a boulder, to soak
h'm two or three. It makes me hot
as a hyena when I'm used as a prop
by some cheap human concertina who
only lone to yawp. If 1 killed
Teres, and had to choose 'em, that
ton I'd surely slay, who always
paws mv manly bosom, when he has
aajtht to say. I do detest the bore
who claws me. familiarly as death,
the while he questions me or jaws
me. or stuns roe with his breath. I
h?te the bore with funny story, and
prehistoric fibs. who. as he springs
tin legends hoary must prod me in
the ribs. Of all the weary bores I'm
Mowing, the one who breaks my
heart, is he who says he must be
going, and never makes a start.
Some bores are dense, and others
cunning, some sad, and others gay:
?ome lean to song, and some to pun
ning. and some to repartay; some
r?m to brains and some to gristle,
some always slam the doors; some
teres will preach and others whistle
- ?nd bores are always bores. ? Walt

Apparently R-i^sia is making good
progress towards a system of respon

Stolypin is not by any means a rad

txjrernment in the working out of the
problems of the nation. Once the
powerful leaders of the nation got
such ideas there is bound to be an

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cfimiot
reach the diseased portion of the <?r.
Ttere is only one way to cure deaf
liois, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by on
inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and un
eiss the inflammation can be tak< u
out and this tube restored to its nor
m&l condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
ere caused by Catarrh, which Is noth
ing but an infirm**) condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused b>
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culais, free.

If Japan has designs on China; if

U'tssia, and f she has it in mind at
