4 HERCIFUL NAN Is MERCITUL TO HIS
BEAST.

BEAST.
Catherine Cole"a most charming
and cultured writer of the New
Orleans PicdyaRe staff, gives over
two columns of tender consi,lera-
lion 10 "dumb animals in The last
Sunday issue of that paper. The
article is a powerful effort, appeal.
ing to onr highest and best human
tiles, and regret that our limited
space prevents us from giving our
readers the entire article. We
make an extract, which We hope
all will read:
EVERY year in the States OF
LOUISIANA and Mississippi a million
dollars worth OF cattle staIve To
death. II is not the custom Tor
our country people to keep up
their stock during the winter
months. ST. soon as cold weather
SETS in. a farmer will turn his cows
and bulls, young heilers and sheep
out into the woods to scratch for
themselves. Come sleet, come
SNOW, come weather as bitterly
cold as If il were really below re-
ro, these poor creatures huddle in
the storm, die in the frost. Not a
blade is there for them To eat
they gnaw the twigs and bushes,
and, finally, they starve to death
by hundreds. In my country
rides | have seen enough COWS
dead or dying of starvation on The
frost. blasted fields to stock a con
tinent if only humanely cared for.
This phase of cruelty is mol contin.
ed 10 country folks. Many rich
families, when they shut up their
over the lake homes turn their
cows out TO make shift for them
selves. One day last winter saw
a starving COW on the road al Bay
! ST. Louis. She was too far gone to
get up. A friend gave me food
for her, and she was pulled around.
She lives, and this summer will
give her milk for The stable Of the
rich man 10 whom she belongs.

the mortgages on the farms. In
winter the blizzard bowls around,

HARD ON CAMBRIDGE.

This is short story that Cambridge
people may not find exactly humor-
Gus. 1t is told, however, concerning
a bright youngster who lived among
them for his nine short summers. and
by reason of the cultured atmosphere
he breathed and the experimental
systems he was brought up on ought
either to have been dead or one of
their own. But he detied both these
fates and in due course received his
reward by moving into Boston. Here
he at once found congenial compan-
ions and no doubt began to contract
those unfortunate habits of speech
that indirectly led to this tale One
day his papa heard him using Ian
guage that no nice little boy, especially
a university town boy, is supposed to
know the meaning of.

HE RECkONED HE WOULD RUN

One of the most interesting charac-
ter5 III American history is General
Zachary Taylor, "Old Rough and
Ready" hero of Buena Vista, father
n-law OF Jefferson Davis and twelfth
president of the United States We
all recollect how Daniel Webster
sneered at him. before he was nomi-
mated, as ''backwoods colonel" and
refused to let his friends put him on
the ticket for vice president with Tay-
lor as first place, thereby missing his
last, and, as the sequel showed, best
chance Of becoming president. Mil
lard Fillmore, of New York, took the
despised second place and thereby
had nearly three years in the White
House.
General Sherman used to tell an
amusing little story of Taylor anent
his nomination for the presidency.
At that time General Taylor was
stationed at New Orleans. He was a
Kentuckian and the kentuckians were
very properly proud of him. One day
shortly before the convention met at
Baltimore he was approached at New
Orleans by an old Kentucky friend,
who said
General, we want you to run fol
president"
"Who wants me to run? asked
General Taylor seriously.
Nv by, we do-all your old neigh
bors"
Well, then, if that's the case" re

the expression of his face, Il reckon

DR. Talmage said these things IN
his Friday evening talk:
The Empire State Express. the
fastest train in all the world, pulled
out from Grand Central station for
Buffalo yesterday morning, and | was
on it. : 1t was the third trip. The
possibility of going from New York TO
Buffalo between 900 A. NJ. and 5:40 P.
d., had been demonstrated. There
was an unwonted futter of excite
ment around the depot, and every per
son who owned a watch was examin-
ing it to see whether the train would
start on the exact moment promised.
At nine o'clock to the second, the loco
motive with four cars, started. The
lights and shadows Of the tunnel play
ed with usual swiftness, and out and
on and up like some monster, half by
foot and half by wing, the train evok
ed the velocity. At an ordinary sea-
son Of the year the pageant of river

ing. but you must remember this is
October, and the woods are SO many

Syracuse, add Rochester went by, and
four minutes before the time an

dismounted at Buffalo, astounded at
the miracles of modern railroad loco

everything. Part of fhe time we went
at the rate of seventy-five miles an
hour. Taken all in all it was the best
combination of speed and safety that

the Nineteenth Century to have trans
ported passengers 440 miles in eight
hours and thirty-six minutes.

Help" the railway of England. He
belonged to the society which looked
after the widows and orphans of rail
road hands. or servants as they are
called in England Help was collie
which was taken In hand when he was
puppy. and trained 10 travel on the
cars and collect money for the society.
He became very expert at tins work,
and during his remarkable career,
which has just ended in his death, he
brought into the treasury of the socle-
ty over five thousand dollars. He was
beautiful animal, and wore silver
collar inscribed thus: Il am Help,
the railway dog of England, and
travelling agent for the orphans of
railway men killed on duty. My office
is in 55 Colehrook row, London, where
subscriptions will be thankfully re
cpiyed and duly acknowledged" "
Help made regular journeys by rail
through England, ,and even crossed the
channel into France and made eXten
sive tours over the Continent. He was
unattended on these Journeys, making
friends readily with any man with a
railroad uniform on. He was fed by
the guards on the varions lines, and
alway returned safely to the home
office, after securing many subscrip-
tions. The money obtained by this
dog has helped to care for many help
less women, and to educate children
who otherwise might have grown up
in ignorance He dies regretted by
thousands.
