HOW ANIMALS BEAR PAIN.
Their Mute Herolsm l n Suffering
Puts Man to Shame.

One OF the pathetic things connect
ed with this Kaleidoscope nonsense
people call life is the manner in which
the animal kingdom endures suffering,
says a writer in the Florida Times
Union. Take horses, for instance, in
battle, and, after the first shock of q
wound, they make no sound. They
bear the pain with q mute, wondering
endurance, and if at night you hear a
wild groan from the battlefield, it
comes from their loneliness, their loss
of that human companionship which
seems absolutely Indispensable to the
comfort OF domesticated animals.
The dog will carry a broken leg for
days wistfully but uncomplainingly.
The cat, stricken with club or stone
or caught in some trap from which it
gnaws its way to freedom, crawls to
some secret place and bears in silence
pain which W q could not endure.
Sheep and other cattle meet the thrust
OF the butchers knife without a sound
and even common poultry endure in
tense agony without complaint.
Thedove, shot unto death, flies to
some far-off Dough, and as it dies the
silence is unbroken save by the patter
on the leaves of it's own life blood.
The wounded deer speeds to some
thick brake, and in pitiful submission
waits for death. The eagle, struck in
midair, fights to the last against the
fatal summons. There is no moan OF
sound of pain, and the defiant look
never fades from its eyes until the lids
close over them, never to uncover
again.
Here is an example of this splendid
endurance right before us, which proud
man in vain tries to emulate. A mule
halteredto apost awaiting treatment,
one of it's hindfeet asuppurating sore,
the frog fostering and running out. It's
whole body droops and it's eyes are
strained and agonizing. The veterin-
airy surgeon standing by says that the
lightest touch of that foot to the
ground causes the most intense pain,
and yet there is no sound, nothing but
that patient enduranceth astonish.

HE FOUND THEM AT HOME.
Mistake Made by a Young Society
Man in Making His Calls.

Mistake Made by a Young Society
Man In Making His Calls.
There is q young nan in town who
has come to the conclusion that So
ciety is adelusion and a snare. Itcame
about in this wise: Just before Lent
he was going to q ball, and starting
at an early hour, he passed a house
where he had long owed a call. The
house looked dark, as if the family
were all away or had retired. "Now,"
thought the young man, "is the time
to make a call and get off easily, when
there Is no one at home" He rang
the bell and was informed that the
family was not at home. So he left
his cards and went down the steps
with the pleasing consciousness OF
having performed a duty.
A few weeks later, when more calls
had accumulated on his hands. he
started on foot for a ball which was
to be given only q square from his
apartments. It. was ten o'clock and
at a quarter past ten he had an en-
gagement to meet the young lady
whom he hoped to marry at the door
OF the d~ressing-room and escort her
to the ballroom. On his way he
passed another house which he had
long owed a call. 1t looked dark and
gloomy. Happy thought" The in
spiration flashed across him to repeat
his happy experience and ocquit him.
self as easily OF this call. He rang the
bell, expecting to be told that the
family were not at home. The door
opened on a brilliantly lighted hall, in
which stood the master OF the house.
"Come in, my dear fellow, we have
some unexpected guests whom you
must meet" There was nothing for
the unfortunate to do but to enter.
He could not say that he had expect
ed to find them out. The would-be
fancee was waiting, but these people
were very swell and not to be Offend
ed.
Torn by agony the young mar play
ed q half hour and then departed,
pleading Sudden illness. He hurried
to the hall to find his lady-loye dane
ing with another man. And how she
cuts him in the street and he thinks
he has discovered that in society, as
everywhere else, sit is q poor rule
that doesn't work both way ."-Wash-
