President of the United States. Yet
it is true, for ulysses Simpson"

Congress--Thomas T.. Hamcr-

a candidate for West Point in 1870
Mr.. Hamer had long been a friend
Of the Grants, but when he came

PASSES cur OFF.
u. 4 o. Employees Expecting to Loose
Their Passes.

The Pennsylvania lines west have
decided to cut off the annual passes
of the employees after this year. On
January first new system will be
inaugurated by which the employees
will pay fare of from one third to
one-half the regular price. 1t is
thought by many railroad officials
that the same innovation will soon
be made on the Baltimore & Ohio.
The fact that the changes to be
made on the Pennsylvania is the
result of the work of l.. +. Loree
while he was general manager Of
that system. Ia late years the
Baltimore & Ohio Company has
been exceptionally liberal with the
passes to employees. All engineers
and conductors are furnished with
passes for themselves and families.
There are great many employed
at Benwood Junction, who live here
and at Bellaire and all make the
daily trip over the road on passes.
Since MIR. Lorce has been Presi.
dent the Baltimore & Ohio has cut
the town of McMechen off as a
regular stop because about all
travel from there was on passes.
As MIR. Loree is not a friend to the
free transportation of employees, the
Baltimore & Ohio men stand poor
show for continuation of the free
rides

SCIENCE AND THE HUMANE SOCIETY.

The influence which scientific
study, including the discovery and
elaboration of the theory of evolu-
ton, has had upon the treatment OF
animals is perhaps more consider
able than is generally known. There
is popular idea that the scientific
treatment is cold blooded and
merciless, without sympathy for the
suffering of either animal or man 4;
but in the majority of cases this is
not true.
The man of science often seems
cold-hearted when he is in reality
nothing of the kind. He understands
better than the uninstructed person,
the necessity of occasional inflict-
ion of pain, and the good accom-.
pllshed by it. Therefore, instead
of weeping and wailing over the
evil that is in the world, he sets
himself to remedy it, and in so
doing, does not hesitate to investi
gate and to infIct suffering wher-
ever 1t is necessary. One sensible,
determined effort in this direction
is worth the sentimental sympathy
of dozen people who sit at home
and shrink from even seeing or
hearing of pain.
The discovery of the theory of
evolution, with all the consequences
flowing from it, resulted in a some
what startling and extremely radical
change in the attitude of the man
OF science, and, in time, the attitude
of humanity in general toward the
brute creation. Formerly, animals
were regarded as creatures without
souls and consequently without any
rights which human beings were
pound to respect. They were of
interest only as their economic
value Ontrbuted to the welfare of
mankind, and, indeed, il was the
habit of theological writer's to pic
ture the whole earth as having been
expressly constructed for the con.
venience and comfort Of man. That
there could be any relation between
animals and mankind which would
make the psychological and physi-
cal system Of the former worth
studying was an idea witch did not
occur to these theologians at all.
Modern science has changed all
that. Animal psychology is a dis.
iinot branch Of study among scien.
lists, and the habit and instincts of
the brute creation are matters con.
sidered worthy Of close attention
u is beginning 10 be recognized
mat IN the treatment and manage.
ment Of dumb creatures, reason
rather than arbitrary theory should
be the governing power, and that
intelligent animals, particularly
those domcsticated arc consider.
ably more like human beings than
has hitherto been supposed.
The gradual advance Of science
has also partly rcvolutionized
human thought in another way.
Comparison Of animals with man
was formerly considered unworthy
Of the dignity Of the latter, and to
call a man brute was, and still is
for that matter, an insult But il
has come 20 be understood that
natural law is not the unworthy

THE STATE GAME LAWS.

The Agricultural Department has
prepared a digest of the Game
laws of the several States for 1907,
which will be issued in the form of a
pamphlet. Last Spring, amend
ments to the game laws were enact
ed by the Legislatures of nearly all
the States, and numerous changes
were made. The Department says:
Experience has shown that
while much stress is laid on close
seasons, comparatively little impor-
lance is attached to violations of
other provisions of the game laws,
and it does not seem to be generally
recognized that killing game by
illegal methons, in excess of the
number allowed by law, or for un
lawful purposes, is as serious an
offense as killing game out of sea-
son.
''In order to emphasize this point
a special chapter on methods has
been introduced and some of the
other sections in the former report
have been rearranged. AS the
bulletin now stands, it is practically
complete digest of existing Fed
eral, State and Provincial laws
relating to the capture, shipment,
and sale of game"
Obviously, in a country like this.
the public needs some education
on game laws. For about two hun
dred years after the settlement of
the United States, such laws were
unnecessary, because game was so
abundant that there was enough for
every poor man who knew how TO
use gun or rod. Gradually, in
the more thickly settled portions of
the country, the animals most in
demand were practically extermi-
mated, and this process was fastened
by the immense depredations of
milliners and furriers, who paid
what seemed to the country people
to be large prices for the skins Of
birds and animals. As transpor-
tation facilities we're improved and
extended, it became possible to
supply game for city markets in
much larger quantities than had
before been sent there, and all this
time little or no effort has been
made toward preserving or breeding
tie species thus ruthlessly DESTROYED.
The history Of game preserving in
this country is much the same as
that Of forestry. In both cases the
natural resources Of the land have
been ignorandy or ruthlessly de.
stroyed; and in both cases it is
necessary, by wise and well direct.
ed legislation, to repair the damage
before it is too late.
This is a matter which ought 10
be brought to the attention Of every
farmer in the country. II he i'm.
presses upon his children and his
neighbors and his hired men the
obvious truth that when they de.
'troy bird in the breeding season
they are helping along the time
when there will be no birds at an.
he will be doing a good work. 10
this end, The pamphlet issued by
The Agricultural Department should
be carefully circulated and carefully
read.

The story is told of three pro-

Catholic church in Ireland during
high mass. 1t was raining and they
had gone in for shelter. The priest,
one of natures gentleman, recog-
nized the ladies, and STOPPING
down, said to an attendant: "rThree
chairs for the protestant ladies. "
1t was kindly thought but the
priest must have wished he had
never thought it when the man
stood up in his chair and shouted:
Three cheers for the protestant
ladies'" 1t was over in minute
The cheers were cheered and could
not be called back; but it was one
of the most uncomfortable moments
of the good priests life.
