A wOODEN-LEG THIEF.
His Peculiar Track Pointed to Him
as a NInIefnctOr.

statesboro, Ga. Jan. IA valuable
horse and buggy were stolen last night
from a Mr. Virgins, living near this place.
Parties came into town this morning and
sent telephone messages TO several points,
ana at II o'clock a message came up from
Bntchton, that the thief had just passed
there, and would be pursued and captured.
The thief is thought TO be a man with a
wooden leg, as stranger having one
wooden leg had been in the community
where the horse was stolen only the day
before, and The tracks where the horse was
hitched seemed to warrant that conclu-
sion.

NAMES SPRUCE GUM.
The Crop of the Past Year Reaches
Nearly Thirty Tons.
From the Manufacturer.

From the manufacturer.
The gathering of spruce gum as side is
sue of numbering during the less active
months in Maine has grown to be quite a
large industry. The crop for the past year
was the largest on record, and the last con-
signment of six tons was delivered late in
August, bringing the total for the year to
nearly thirty tons, valued at about $4,000.
The process of collecting the material has
many interesting features. During the win
ter, when the snow in the woods is not too
deep, hunter goes from camp to camp
picking out good looking trees that have a
supply of gum ciinging to the bark. He
makes note Of each tree. marking 1t by
cutting into the bark with his AK In the
spring, when the snow has melted, he leads
a party of pickers over the same territory
and they clean the trees of the gum that
has accumulated. The instrument used for
picking purposes is of fine surgeons steel,
tempered to such q degree that 1t can be
bent to almost any shape and not break
This is necessary, for on many of the trees
the gum is hanging to the bark in such a
manner that to attempt to remove it with
anything but crooked blade would be
useless.
The gum as it Is scraped from the tree is
taken in a large basket to the nearest lun-
Der camp and left for the coming of the
chaser" whose duty 1t is to see that the
gum is delivered to the boss" who has
sent the expedition out. When the gum ar
rives at the latter place 1t is spread on q
carpet, and the whole neighborhOod takes
hand in sorting the good from the bad,
the light-colored from the dark. Then 1t is
'blowed''-a huge bellows, not unlike those
used in a blacksmith shop. being used for
the purpose. The gum is then ready to be
bagged and sent to the city dealer, who in
turn disposes of most of it to chewing gum
manufacturers.

Protection for Animals Needed.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Frank G. Carpenter, in his letter from
Porto Rico, printed In The Star of Septem-
Der JIG, after referring to the extremely
cruel method of yoking oxen, says:
The Porto Rican peon has absolutely
no regard for the feelings of his animals
The oxen are drixen by goads from eight
to twelve feet in length. In the end of each
goad is a spike about an inch long, with n
point like a needle AS the driver moves
his cart along. he pushes this spike into
the hanks or sides of the oxen. / have seen
some, the thighs of which had been pune
tured like pincushions, so that the blood
ran down their legs
In referring to the ponies, which he
states are terribly overw0rked, he says:
In the rough, mountainous district
everything is carried on ponies, and car
riages are everywhere drawn by them. The
animals are made TO go on the gallon uphill
and down most of the time. They are fog
geG until they drop and are then logged
until they rise to their feet. | came in the
mail coach from Camuy to Aquedila. The
coach was pulled by two of these little
ponies. The driver logged them from one
end of the journey to the other Not
withstanding his whipping, the ponies stop
ped at every steep hill. One time one fell
down, and thought for a time that it was
dead Its eyes were dull and it seemed
about to expire. The driver thereupon be-
gan TO beat it upon the head with a club
ana ne nnalIy got MIN TO his feet. He had
at this same time two fresh ponies with
him, which were to be harnesSed up at the
next station. ! expected him to take out
the pony that had fallen and put in one of
these. But he did not. He fiogged him
more and more, and after a time the reek-
ing, sweating, bloodstained little animal
seemed to do equal work with the other"
hope Mr.. Carpenter did all he could to
prevent the cruel treatment of the ponies
by reasoning, or trying to reason, with the
driver. or upon his arrival at Aquedilla
calling the attention of the authorities to
the cruelties he had witnessed
He who sits Supinely and intellectually
inert while cruelties are being practiced
sins as much as he whose positive action
produces them
We need a national law for the protection
of animals. We are confident that If the
subject is brought before Congress we Will
soon have law enacted protecting ami
mails in every land and country subject to
the control of our government.
We have hundreds of laws for the protec-
ton of the higher animal-man-while we
have one, or none. for the protection Of
the lower animal, here like man without
any voice or choice in the matter, possess
ing the same five senses, feeling pain and
hunger the same
He who is cruel, whether to the higher or
lower animal, develops the brutal and evil
side of his character. Therefore the pro-
lection of animals is the first step toward
lifting man to a higher plane

PARLIAMENT'S STAFF.
Salaries Paid Aggregate Nearly "a
Quarter of n Million Yearly.
From the Lordon Mail.


Most people think that all members of
parliament are elected for a brief period
only, and not for life.
In most cases that is so. At the same
time there are no fewer than sixty-six m.
P.'s" who are elected for life
Not only SO. but, unlike other NJ P's,
they are paid salaries, and in one year
they get as much as f42,O61 out Of the
taxpayers pockets.
Parliaments come and parliaments go. but
these sixty-six gentlemen go on forever
that is. till they die.
To be plain, they form the perma1cnt
stan Of the house of parliament. They run
the legislative show. and without them the
elected NJ. p. and the hereditary lord would
be in pickle.
The biggest salary paid to member of
the permanent staff is $1,000 and this sum
IS paid 20 the clerks Of both the house of
commons and the house of lords Each
also gets house rent free
The two clerks assistant get Il, 500
apiece But the clerk assistant of the house
OF commons has the advantage over his
brother in the lords. for he gets a house
as well.
The second clerk assistant and the SER
geant-at-arms IN the house of commons
both get f, 300, and the latter also gets a
house.
The reading clerk Of the house of lords
gets 1900. while the examiner for standing
orders and the deputy sergeant OF the
house Of commons each gets $500.
Two salaries of $500 each are given 10

who is also secretary TO the lord great
chamberlain, and 10 the assistant sergeant
alarms in the house of commons The

ment-is IN the house of lords Il 40 a
year, and in the house of commons Is 600.
In addition 20 these there are seventeen
