A few old women and long haired men in
about every community are waiting patient:
ly to see what his hogship will do on his
entrance into daylight. Whether he will
remain out to eat mud balls or seeing his
shadow, or possibly a broomstick coming
towards him, cause him to skedaddle hack
again. That, of course, these old women
and long haired men say, means six weeks
more of winter weather—perhaps.
The western approach to the toot walk on

of rounds the traveling public require, and

Quite a cold snap here on Monday last,

quite a serious one. January about making
an exit and no ice secured, not a pound, and
only about six weeks remain in which there
is aus likelihood to obtain any. The weath

day or two has beeu quite mild all winter
and likely to continue so. Of course the out-
look for a large crop does not look very flut-

A PUMA CUB.
de Was Plucky, but Paid For His
Temerity With His Life.
Hissing like a sullen geyser, the great
puma mother crouches with flaming
eyes. Ridge of her tawny back brush-
ed up in rage, tall a-switch, steel sin-
ews rigid beneath soft skin, she glared
nt her four cubs in the cage corner.
A fluffy ball of spotted fur sprawled
on unsteady legs across toward her.
Out shot a mighty fore paw; the baby
was hurled suddenly back among his
cowering brothers and sisters.
“Nasty temper,” 1 remarked to the
keeper. “Has she been long like that?"
“Started this forenoon.” He shook his
head in anxiety. “I don't like it. I'll
have to separate them, | fear.”
The unnatural mother commenced
pacing her prison, sparring viciously
at her offspring in passing. Three
huddled together in a pitiful heap, but
one stood up and defied her. A jungle
terror in miniature. his tiny rage was
magnificent. Tensely alert before his
trembling mates, he shifted warily to
meet each blow, dodging. spitting,
striking out an awkward paw at the
great thrusts.
“They don't turn on their cubs often.
Only knew it once before. You notice,
mein herr, her claws are not out when
she strikes. That may come; then we
will lose some promising babies here.”

into the cage. Sleek forms shifted

came from above; the place was close
with a heavy odor.
He greeted me mournfully. “The

New York, Jan. 28.—The Thaw de
fense closed its case with “manic-
depressive” insanity as the explana
tion of the death of Stanford White at
the hands of the young Pittsburg mil-
lionaire. The prosecution began its
evidence in rebuttal and the case
should go te the jury by Wednesday
night or Thursday noon.

ed a crowded courtroom when he re
frained from his tactics of last year
in baiting the expert witnesses for the
defense, three of whom—Drs. Wagner,
Evans and Jellife—declared that
Thaw at the time he killed Stanford
White was suffering from such a de
fect of reason as not to know the na-
ture or quality of his act or that the
act was wrong. The prosecutor con-
tented himself with drawing from the
allenists the fact that last year they
swore it was during a “brain storm”
that Thaw committed the homicide.
He also read from the affidavits made
by Dr. Wagner before the lunacy com-
| mission last year giving conversations
| had with Thaw in court which tended
| to show that the defendant had a dis
tinct recollection of occurrences on
the roof garden immediately preced-
ing the tragedy.
It was left to Justice Dowling to
make a most important inquiry of the
allenists. He desired to know the ex-
act nature of “manic-depressive” in-
sanity, and if the attacks were likely
to recur. He also asked If a person
suffering from this form of Insanity
| would be likely to commit assaults,
He learned that it was a recurrent
| form of mental disorder, the attacks
| coming suddenly and without warning,

Moores island, the Happiest and Fair-
est Spot on Earth.
Hugo Parton, writing in the Outing
Magazine, says that the happiest and
mest beautiful spot on earth today is
the island of Moorea, one of the Society
islands, in the south seas, As a con-
this description sounds alluring:
“Whenever you are thirsty a word
will send a lithe brown body scram-
bling up a tall palm tree trunk, and in
two minutes a green cocoanut is ready
for you to quaff—the nectar of the Poly-
nesian gods. It is worth the trip down
here to eat the native ‘vittals,' for you
get at every meal things you never
tasted before, and each seems better
than its predecessor: to see your din-
per of fresh water shrimps. sharks’
fins and roasted sea urchins. The ba-
nanas you eat—there are eleven varie-
ties—baked, raw, fried, dried—grow a
few rods back in the valley; ditto the
breadfruit, the pineapples and about
everything else on the board. It's nice
to have your morning coffee grown in
the back yard. Guavas grow in such
profusion they are used as plg food,

he is anywhere equaled. They are a
large race, both men and women being
noticeably taller and more fully de
veloped than Anglo-Saxons. I doubt if
any Society islander ever went through
a whole day in his life without having
a wreath of flowers on his head or a
blossom behind his ear. The love of
flowers is innate with man, woman and
child. They can't pass through a patch
of woods without emerging with a gar
land. Every gay mood calls for flow:
ers on thelr hats, in their hair, behind
their ears, and their life is an almost
unbroken sequence of gay moods.
Scarcely a native on the Island of
Moorea can speak a sentence of Eng-
lish, but every one you meet greets you
with a courteous smile and the wel
coming word ‘la-ora-na’ (Yorana).”
Poetry Defined.
George P. Morris, the author of
“Woodman, Spare That Tree,” was a
general of the New York militia and a
favorite with all who knew him. Mrs,
Sherwood in her reminiscences tells
how another poet associated the gener-
al with a definition of poetry.
Once Fitz-Greene Halleck, the author
of “Marco Bozzaris,” called upon her in
New York in his old age, and she asked
him to define for her what was poetry
and what was prose.
He replied: “When General Morris
commands his brigade and says, ‘Sol-
diers, draw your swords!” he talks
prose. When he says ‘Soldiers, draw
your willing swords! he talks poetry.”

| latter event, it was pointed out, Justice
{ Dowling would have the right to have
| Thaw committed for examination.
| An English physician, one of three
| foreign men of medicine who testified,
| first gave the name of “manic-depres-
sive” or “sub-acute mania” to Thaw's
| mental condition. Dr. Sydney Russell
Wells, of London, made the diagnosis

| walls of his rooms in a nursing home
| be torn down so ihat he might have air
| and that twenty tons of ice be put in
| the apartment to cool it.
| Mr. Littleton’s question, which was
| answered by the three experts, was a
| complete resume of the evidence, with
the exception, as District Attorney Je-
| rome pointed out, of the testimony of
| James Clinch Smith, brother-in-law of
Stanford White, who talked with Thaw
for fifteen minutes just before the
shooting on the roof of Madison Square
Garden. The question contained some
16,000 words.
A Ten Per Cent Cut For All Receiving
Over $166 a Month.
Baltimore, Jan. 24.—Attributing the
action to depression in business re-
sulting in largely decreasing railroad
earnings, the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road company announces a reduction
of ten per cent. in the pay of all offi-
cers and employes receiving over $166
per month, and bringing down to $150
all monthly salaries between $150 and
$166 per month, this becoming effec-
tive Feb. 1. The reduction will apply
to all officers from president down. No
change is made in pay of the large
number of clerks and other employes
receiving $150 or less a month, but it
{s understood that should further
measures of economy be required, a
revision of the rate of pay of all other
employes will become a matter neces-
sary consideration.
