The following correspondence received
during the past week is hereby answered
in a brief but succinct manner:

island has a society for the prevention Of
cruelty to animals.

1t is one of the most pungent and yocif-
erous societies for the prevention of
good that we have. according to reports
Agents of the organization make it very
hot for people who own animals, if l am
correctly informed in the matter, and /
advise you, il you hope to spend the
heated term on Staten Island, to leave
your carriage horses and other ~heir-looms
at the fat, where they will not be dis
turbed. Owners here have been stopped
on the street. arrested and fined. in fact,
for not shoeing their horses, while as a
matter of tact they were too poor to ever
shoe the children. Misguided philan-
thropy is as injurious to the public well
fare as the live rat caught, kerosened and
ienited by a farmer in Northern Vermont
last season. He drove away all the other
rats, also the farmer and his family, by
burning down the whole ranch. In his

cen 10 and / o'clock ON the MORN
ing of June 10, as some young men were
OF their way home, and while passing
along near the public school building of
Chillicothe, they heard a cry Of distress.
Entering the premises occupied by Pro
fessor Allen Moore, upon a tour of inves.
hgation they found that the cry came
from a well. 1t was found that Mrs.
Moore had fallen into the well.
A rope was thrown down, which Mrs.
Moore grasped, but when raised to near
the top she missed her hold and fell
back. The well was thirty-six feet deep
and contained between ten and fifteen
feet of water. A loop was then made in
the end of the rope and hastily thrown
down with directions to place it around
her body and under her arms, which
Mrs. Moore succeeded in doing, and by
that means she was rescued. 1t is be-
lieved that Mrs. Moore either slipped
and fell into the well, or was walking

Charles Clark, who lives out eight
miles toward Morrison on a ranch,
started in to Denver Saturday with his
wife in a light buggy to which was
harnessed a newly broken colt which
was making his trial trip in single
harness. Near VRlverde the colt took
sudden fright ut something and made
two or three plunges, overturning the
rig and p~recipitating Clark into a patch
Of cactus by the side of the road He
was thrown with such force that his leg
was broken below the knee SO that the
large bone pierced through the skin. His
face vas terribly lacerated by the cacti
and some of it penetrated four thick
nesses of clothing andAr lodged itself
half an inch into the flesh. His wife
was carried some distance further, when
she, too, was hurled into the cactus and
sustained several severe bruises in the
face and chest. Beyond a thorough shak-
ing up she was not badly injured.
In the evening Mr.. Clark was called
upon by a reporter, who found him
laughing and joking over the mishap,
although in intense pain. This acci-
dent Is a result Of predestination," he
said, ''for several people say they have
dreamed about this, and a fortune teller
told my wife before we were married
that she would marry a man who would
be all battered up by a horse. Mrs.
Ridgeway told me on the road hat she
had dreamed Of this, and she described
the accident without having seen it.
Then when DR.. Clark, who is my cousin,
came in he said: Charlie, I dreamed you
broke your leg night before last and
then we told him about the other
dreams. Denver News.

The art of making the ornamental
tiles which are 80 often laid in floors and
used for various decorative purposes
seems to have taken its rise during the
latter half of the Twelfth century, but
tile work was not generally used before
the middle Of the Thirteenth. Mosaic
work, which is much older, was done by
an entirely different process. The files
were made of clay and baked; the mo-
safes were made of stones of different
colors.-Youth's Companion.
