cal. Saturday she experienced a very
bad day and in the evening 1t was be-
lieved by the attending physicians that
the end was near. She was unconscious
all day. Mrs. Pearson was taken Ill with
he grip thrse years ago. This soon de.
veloped into black erysipslas which was
foliowea by blood poisoning. During
the last few months her brain has been
seriously Affected.
Mrs. Pearson has been a wonderful
aid to her famous husband in his mission
work. II really do not know how l
could have got along without this noble
woman,'' said Mr.. Pearson Saturday
evening. "She has been the guiding star
for me during AL, of these years and has
really been The mainstay of the Gospel
Mission. She would take up and assis
to live the right way people whom !
would despair of. Repeatedly have !
known her to give away her own clothes
to the needy anu suffering. Among the

rill OF New Gloucester, one OF family
OF eight children. She was married to
Mr.. Pearson on Christmas Day, 1875

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

The Portland Oregonian recently print
ed an item concerning an old horse that
was sold for IS cents on execution
against judgment debtor, and it was
stated that it was so poor and weak that
it was unable to walk a few blocks, but
fell down and had to be lifted and held
p while it was pulled and pushed along
TO the justice shop. If the story be
true, the justice performed only part
- his duty to the public when he had
done all that he could under the law
for the creditor. He should have in
structed his constable to arrest the man
responsible for the condition of the
horse, and on his due conviction, should
have punished him to the limit of the
law.
l. f t t O D e.-Another story is told
of an old horse with a swollen leg, ana
almost starved to death, abandoned %
lingering and agonizing death by the
biped brute whom he had served as long
as he was able to be of use. No leni-
ency ought to be shown to men who thus
abuse innocent, faithful and helpless
animals that they own, or of which they
have charge. They should be punished
every time up to the laws limit, which is
not half severe enough.
