A NoN-OFFIcIAL AcT-A young man from
Raymond, while driving gaunt, blear-eyed,
sprained steed, looking as tho "thrust out past
service from the devils stud," attached to a
forty bushel load of charcoal up Congress street
yesterday forenoon, was accosted by Mayor
Kingsbury, who implored him to give his horse
rest and not compel him to drag his heavy load
over the city searching for purchaser. Finding
remonstrance unavailing, his Honor purchased
the whole load and detaching the horse, which
was taken to Libby's stable, the load was haul
ed to the Mayors residence ON Pine street by
crowd of the 'boys" who had witnessed the in
cident and showed their appreciation of it by
volunteering their services as "draughtsmen."
The act was noble one and deserves recogni-
ton by the Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals. What lends an added point to
the story is the fact that the Mayor did not de-
sire the charcoal, and only purchased it to re-
lieye the crippled and overworked horse.
