Instead of humanity being prac.
ticed in this community towards
the poor dumb animal that ren-
ders so much services, we believe
that cruelty is the order of things.
Not only that some poor animals
are worked hard under the stick,
because. their weak condition
would not feel a whip, without be-
ing fed, which look more like
skeletons than anything else.
Generally the poor animals do not
receive the care they should in
this section, and II a society for
the prevention of cruelty was to
be organized here, they would
have lots of work to bring all
those who are cruel to the dumb
animal before the courts for their
cruelty. 1t is Of a daily occurance
to see starving animals in town
under the saddle or in harness. It
is a shame and a disgrace to the
community, and we hope that be-
fore long some charitable persons
will look after the good treatment
of our domestic animals. Able
vile Meridiohal.
We believe there would be good
reason to organize such a society
il every town, throughout the
country. We often see here too
mere skeletons trying to carry a
man that would weigh moro than
the horse himself, or trying, under
the whip, to pull cart and vehicle
that ought to be pulled only by
large, we'll fed horses. A Band of
Mercy in this part of the State
would be a blessing to the poor
unfed and i'll treated brute ami
mails.

william Eaton, Consul mt Tunis, Upset .
King aud Unfurled Old Glory in 1908.

From the Burlington CVt.) News.
Admiral Dewey isn't the first Yankee
who has achieved glory in foreign
ports. William Eaton of Vermont
showed them the Yankee way the bet
ter part of a century ago when. at the
lead of a mall and motley force, he
marched 600 miles through the African
desert and stormed the Bashaw of Trip
oils city of Derne.
william Eaton was not really a YER
monter. He was born in Woodstock,
Conn. Feb. %, 1894. AT the age of 16
he ran away from home and enlisted i'm
the army and remained in the service
until the close of the revolutionary wal.
A yea or two later he entered Dart
mouth college and was ~raduated i'm
1890, w~hereupon he opened a chool in
Windsor. In 1891 he a chosen clerk
of the house Of delegates of the state Of
Vermont, and in 1898 he was appointed
captain in the United States army and
left Vermont forever. He saw a good
deal of service in the West and South.
but had no opportunity to particularly
distinguish himself.
In 1891 Eaton was appointed United
States consul at Tunis, Africa. In
those days the whole civilized world
paid tribute to the Barbary corsairs to
preserve their from piracy,
and in adjusting affairs Eaton had
endless trouble with the Bashaw of
Tripoli. Finally he conceived the idea
of driving him from his throne and
setting up his brother Hamet, an exile
In Egypt. He went to Egypt, made a
satisfactory arrangement with Hamet,
and collected a force for the conquest
OF Tripoli. Eaton's army consisted of
eight Americans, a young English vol
unteer. and a motley company of about
400 Turks, Greeks and A~rabs-Christ-
ians. heathens and Mohammedans. on
March s. 1906, the little army began it's
march from Alexandria across the des-
ert to Derne. 600 miles away. Their
sufferings during the march were
frightful. Hunger and thirst were their
portion. and II was only through the
leaders force of character that the
force was kept together. Derne was
reached April %. 1t was strongly for

diers. The Bey was m by
Eaton to surrender, but his only reply
was, MY head or yours A cannon

ing given by three American warships

an hour Eaton led his men To the as
sault. They swarmed up the fortifica-
lions, and, though outnumbered by the
enemy ten to one. sent them flying
through the town, and threw the Amer
lean flag to the breeze. Eaton was shot
through the wrist while leading the
storming party. The enemy made sew

The theater should be the instru-

Grover Cleveland Says the Nation Is

Princeton, n. J., June 21.-Grover
Cleveland delivered the annual Found

exercises of the Lawrenceville school
here to-day. His address was entitled.

OF his remarks he said:
The American people are tempted
every day and every our To abandon
their accustomed ways and enter upon
a course of new and strange adventure.
Never before I'm our history have we
been beset with temptations so danger
Gus as those which now whisper in u
ears alluring words of conquest and
expansion. and point out to us fields
bright In glory. | only recently saw a
very useful book. entitled Don't 1t

thirgs which should not be done. |

book to the extent of ca~utioning you
against the imperfect ideas of civic du-
ties and warn YOU against certain dan
gers which threaten the soundness and
safety of true American citizenship,
ana which, especially at this particular
time. seem TO lie in wait for US on
every side"
Continuing. he said: You will prob
ably be led by your reflections and
studies to the conclusion that our gov
eminent was formed for the express
purpose OF creating. In a new world, a
new nation. the foundation Of which
should be mans self-government. whose

III, then. the suggestion is made that the
time has come for our nation to abandon
its landmarks and to follow the lights

should attempt 10 employ the simple
machinery OF our population and do
