WOMEN OF, WARSAW HID PETS
?Cat? In Plenty Produced, However,
When Red Cross Supplies Were
Periled by Rats.
A picturesque story of tho war comes
from Warsaw, whore all tho cats had
"disappeared. One went about the city
and saw never ? eat. So completely
?.had the mis vanished that when the
Red-Cross warehouse, JuS.t outside of
Warsaw, became overrun with rats
and mice, to the Serious. damage of
fond and clothing'stored in It, almost
every other expedient was thought of
and tried before it occurred to anybody
that perhaps there might be a cat or
two still left somewhere In the com
munity.- Then some olliclnl .of the
warehouse mentioned to a v l'ollsh
. workman that If 11 eat could he- Couijd
the animal would he a great help in
protecting the Red Cross property;
and from here, there and everywhere
came the w'vqs of the citizens and the
citizens themselves, each carefully
hearing n treasured cat. As the story
goes, there seemed to ho as many cats
offered for duty In the Red Cross
warehouse as there were rats and mice
at work In lh The emergency had
overcome the unwillingness of the
people to admit that they were.guard
ing- their Tvusraiad alter a guardian
had be<*i chosen for the warehouse

End of Coal Troubles.
Campbell Sinton figures out that
4,000,000 horse power from sunlight
goes to waste on every square mile.
Which means, writes "Glrard" In
the Philadelphia Press, that Old Sol
sheds upon tho surface of Pennsyl
vania the tidy equivalent of nearly
200,000,000,000 horse power.
Some fine day you will read in your
morning paper that Prof. Long Head
has found a way to catch that power
that now runs loose. Then good-by
coal strikes 1
Anthracite Ail! be as valueless for
fuel as little shells are for money.
Sun engines will replace gasoline In
your auto, steamships will need no
stokers, the railroads no firemen aiid
no coal tenders, the street railways
no power house and your cellars will
be rid of ihe dusty furnace.
What high jinks the stock brokers
can have when tho promoters list on
the exchanges 10,000,000,000 of com
mon stock In Sunlight Consolidated.
His First Pay in 15 Years.
A man who spoke with a pro
nounced Swedish accent appeared at
the Income tax office at St. Louis and
exhibited two new leather cases which
contained $9,000 In travelers' checks.
He said that he had just had his
only pay day in fifteen years and had
heard thdt an income tax was due. It
appears Xhat during the fifteen years
he was employed on a ranch In Wash
ington urtder an agreement with his
employer for wages, plus board and
clothes. During the fifteen years he
"went to town" only twice a year and
drew no money, he said, because his
employer had bought everything for
him.
When last month he decided to go
to South America to become a rancher
in his own name, his employer accom
panied him to town and bought the
checks for him. He was told that no
tax was due from him.
Immigrants' Literary Test.
Immigrants subject to the literary
test at Kills Island now have to read
thirty or forty words from the
Psalms, in any language they prefer.
Immigration inspectors- are equipped
with cards In all languages, with
??rses from the Psalms printed on
them. All types of script are repre
sented?Gorman, Arabic, Hel.'-ew,
Japanese. Russian and so on, except
Chinese, for that nationality is not
permitted to Immigrate. Lest any
alien learn parrotlike the verse of the
Psklm that a friend In this country
had the Inspectors have at
least forty different verses In each
language, one verse to a card.
