Yet how does it diner from the acts of
brokers who issue orders for matched

they do it to give the public a false
impression that there is a large de
mand for a certain property, when
there is no such demand.
The stock exchange performs a use
ful service to this extent, that it es
tablishes valuations. The owner of a
share of a property can learn, pretty
closely what it is worth. Otherwise
owners would often sell far below
what a property is worth.

sucks life blood from the whole na

manipulations of stocks. Why does
not Wall street need strict regulation
just as much as the railroads?
EYE-STRAIN CAUSED BY "MOVI ES."
Constant attendance at moving-pic-1
ture shows may cause eye. troubles
similar to those of eye-strain. This
statement is made by Dr. George M.
Could in a recent issue of The Journal
of the American Medical Association.
Dr. Could says that he has recently
made a practice of asking his patients,
"What were you dok'g the evening or
afternoon previous to your headache
or giddiness or upset stomach?" "Noth
ing at all," is the usual reply, "that is.
nothing out of the ordinary. I was at
the 'movies' for a couple of hours and
went to bed as soon as I got home, as
I was Keeling badly." Dr. Gould warns
physicians, oculists and nerve special
ists to be on the watchout for such
symptoms, and when, fotiud that attend
ance at moving-picture shows he con
sidered as a cause. The symptoms, he
says, do not differ greatly from those
caused by strain or abuse of the eyes
of any kind. The most common are
those of sick headache, such as in-
tense weariness of the eyes and brain, to be controlled.

To this it might bo said that if all

birds are learning to fly. this charge
against poor Tabby could not be made.
There may be other persons, who,
while not hostile to the cat for such

money on an animal that produces
lances to transport men- leuue uioi

An'one who has rcad in
Mplin's "-lust So" stories, of the "Cat
who walked by its wild alone, waving
its wild tail," must admit the justice
of his feeling that the cat is a crea
ture having a very aristocratic dignity
of its own. . ' "
Xot merelv is the cat a creature of
singular beauty,, graceful in every mo
tion. Not merely does she have a
hereditary function in the family as a
destroyer of vermine. More than that
she has a certain self-contained inde
pendence that gives interest to her
character. She is attached more to
places than people, she holds herself
in reserve, she has her own deter
mined will, she never gives herself to
human beings in the affectionate
transports manifested by the dog.
.Meekly as Kitty sits purring by the
fireside, she has a certain very dis
tinctive and self-contained personality
of her own, calmly independent of hu
man comings and goings if her simple
wants, are supplied.
This self-sufficient reserve attracts
an interest you cannot feel in the dog
who follows every passerby who
whistles at him. Well may a fine type
of cats then be bred, and displayed at
Cat Congresses, and perhaps under
sue htraining the predatory instincts
of common mongrel types could be
eliminated.
-O
THE KENYON BILL.
, Enough was developed in the debate
j in the senate yesterday on the Kenyon
interstate shipping bill, wherein it is
sought to legislate on the shipment of
intoxicating liquors from "wet" into
"dry" territory, to establish the doubt
ful wisdom of the passage of such a
measure.
In the first place, the inquiries made
by the strongest lawyers in the senate
of those senators who advocated the
bill clearly show that in the judgment
of these lawyers there is grave doubt
as to the constitutional power of eon
gross to delegave to the laws of the
states and the whim and caprice of
state officials.
When the advocates of the measure
were forced to concede through these
inquiries that the second section of
the Kenyott'bill is of doubtful consti
tutionality, they made the " practical
concession that the bill in its entirety
is unconstitutional, for section one of
the proposed bill makes the laws of
the states, whatever they may be, the
rule by which interstate shipments are
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
liquors. Others have county, munici-
pal. parish, or township prohibition of
inaiuuaciure ana saie. .o stare pr.j-

A CHRISTMAS STORY.
One day a
poor old woman drove
into town in a rickety spring
wagon.
She tied her horse to a post near the
schoolhouse. It was about as bad

The woman hobbled away with feeble

rushed out of the school house. The
air in a moment was full of their
shouts and laughter.

"Ho! ho! ho! Wlio ever .saw such a (

"As thin as a rail."
"You can count all his ribs." '
"He looks as if he hadn't spirit to ,
hold his head up."
"Looks half starved. Say, bony, is '
there enough of you left to scare?"
Two or three boys squealed in the
ears of the horse and gave him small
pokes; others jumped before him to
try to frighten him.
"Let's lead him 'round to the back
of the building and tie him there, so
that when the folks he belongs to
come they'll thing he's run away."
"He run away!"
"Say, boys," put in ono boy, who
loved al animals, "There's no fun in
