This Applies Well Here.

The following lines in the Gosh u
Democrat might with propriety be
taken TO heart by person in this city:
As winter Is at hand we desire to call
attention TO the fact that there are
some persons who have so little feeling
or sympathy for dumb animals, that
they will leave their horses standing
on the streets for hours IN the cold, un
protected. a lumber of instances of
this character have occurred In the
past, but we hope the proper aui hDritIes
will put forth great efforts to suppress
this careiessness and inhuman habit.
The person, who will compel dumb
animal to stand at the hitchIng rack a
day at time when the mercury Is be-
low zero and the wind blowing at the
rate of sixty miles an hour, while he is
roasting his shIns in some store or
saloon, should be placed In the sam
position AS the dumb animal for few
hours.
