EMIL sTEGER RECOVERING
Court interpreter VIII Probably
Leave Christ Hospital.

Court Interpreter Emil Steger, who is
a patient at Christ Hospital, is reported
this morning much improved. The hope
is entertained that he may soon be able
to leave the institution. During his en-
forced absence Counselor Max Salinger
has generously offered to officiate as in
terpreter in the courts should his services
be required.
Over year ago Mr.. steger had his left
leg amputated at st. Mary's to prevent
the spread of gangrene with which that
member was affected. A few months ago
he began to use an artificial limb at times.
This seemed to irritate the stump of the
amputated member and the right leg also
became greatly swollen and infiamed
Fears were entertained that it had be-
come affected with the dread gangrene,
but this is evidently not the case.
Mr.. Steger's many friends will be
pleased to learn of his recovery.

In Securing Positions xor Foor'
With the near approach of cold weather
and people returning to the city from all
parts of the country, the Organized Aid
Association naturally should have num-
ber Of applications from intending em-
ployers but in this matter of co-opera-
tion the public seems sadly deficient In
consequence of which Mrs. Badgeley has
her hands full of applicants for work,
with no means of disposing Of them, and
all worthy cases.
AT present Mrs. Badgeley is particular
1y anxious to procure work for man
and woman, with family of five small
children. The man is a stationary engi-
neer and can present the best of refer
ences, while his wife is good laundress.
Either will be glad of a days work and
both are willing to work at anything. Mrs.
Badgeley will be glad to receive COM
munications in reference to these and
others at the office Of the Organized
Aid, No. 65 Montgomery street.

The Equine Slave.

Not all slavery is associated with the
human race. Many good horse has
Legree for an owner and master. The
cruel welts which SCARED the black
back of old uncle Tom were not more
inhuman than are the vicious lashings
inflicted on many horse to simply work
off the devilish passion Of his owner.
We lately saw horse which was forced
to haul heavy loads day after day, and
he with so.e on his shoulder as big as
the palm of ones hand; another, COM
PEELED to draw pillow ten hours day,
which was pitifully lame and no make
believe about it in his case; then there
is the poorly-fed horse, his gaunt frame
and bone pierced hide proclaiming his
owners neglect; and then we all
of us know the worked out and
faithful old horse, passing from jockey
to trader and urged under the lash until
he falls by the wayside-a case of the
good citizen left to die in the poorhouse.
Church spires reaching towards heaven,
schoolhouses, newspapers, books and all
that goes to make up our so-called
christian civilization are but mockery
ifhumane treatment of our dumb animals

Town and Country.

When man moves from farm into
the city, about the first thing which he
finds out is that it costs whole lot more
to live in the city than it does in the
country. When he has to buy every
thing which he needs on the market, he
begins for the first time to realize how
much the farm had supplied him with
of which he had made but little account
The quart of rich cream, the pair Of
spring chickens, the fresh laid eggs, the
unlimited supply of milk, the hay an
grain for his horse, and lots of Other
things cost wad of money when one
moves to town; and then his wife and
children have to dress little better
and there is always somebody after him
for water tax, electric light bills, church
dues, missionary, benevolent and patri-
otto schemes which he must respond te
or be counted seedy and back number

Il Sang to Deaf Ears.

A little song bird-a brown thrush
lay a'quivering and a'dying in the grass
under the shade of cherry tree not of
old age, for birds never live to grow old,
it is said, but because, after singing for
weeks each night and morning from the
top Of the big oak his CHEEKY and melo-
dious song-an inspiring prophecy of
summer a-coming,-he innocently picked
few cherries which he had so well
earned and the boy with the gun spied
him and this sweet singer, this destroyer
OF noxious insect life, this artistic and
joyous vocalist fell, with his life blood
blood as red as the cherries he had TAX
en,-staining his speckle breast.
This was a pitiful tragedy-a wick
ed slaughter of the innocents, a cruel,
wanton murder of one of mans best
friends; but then perhaps pint OF cher
ries was saved by his taking off-hve
cents at least, less the cost of the cart
ridge two cents. II simple justice, un-
relieved by any sentiment or pity, which
is natures way, were melted out for such
an act as this, the grass-hopper would
become a burden to the boy who did it
long before he came to be an old man.

Mongrel Breeds.

There were 7,470,040 negroes, 5O0,0O(

country in 1890. There has been the
natural increase from this stock since
and the further addition of 100000
Cubans, 100000 Porto Ricans and
100000 Philippines, making an aggre.
gate of not far from 25,0O00O0 of Ethio
plan, Malay and mongrel people natur

Added to these is the refuse dumped on
our shores from Europe, from Galicia
Italy, Greece and other incubators Of
vice, ignorance and crime-and the an
nexatio2ist says he can civilize them, and
the church says it can convert them
while the man who takes a litter OF
wolf pups to rear and tame as pet,
is laughed at for his folly.

Better be a Bird Than a Man.

We note that the conditions under which
all animal. bird and insect life
exists in it's natural state secure for the
Individual subject far greater uniform
ity of living a more equitable existence
than man, with his more highly devel-
uped powers, permits to his kind. Out
,ide of the strife incident to the sexual
citation, all birds. animals and insects Of
given species live in perfect peace and
armony with each other. Where these
OF a gregarious habit, as in the case
Il the bison, the crow, the passenger
,igeon, the ant, the bee and many others,
he community of interest secures for
the individual abundant food and
favorable conditions for living, the COM
munity never under any circumstances
eeing torn and rent by internal dissen-
sions and strife. The superior intelli-
sence of man seems to compel the asser-
ion of his individuality, and 80 we find
that while gregarious by nature and
labit, he lives in perpetual strife with
hose of his own kind, seemingly domin-
ated by cruel law Of competition,
rivalry and seltishness, which makes him
~ek the best Of everything for himself,
regardless of the rights Of his fellows.
Herein is man not only little lower
than the angels, but lower than the
humber types OF life around him.
