SAVING ANIMALS FROM

During one of the recent torrid days

reward. however. OF some insolence on
the part OF the driver. who hurriedly
urged the horse along despite its evident
exhaustion and overheated condition.
The incident caused an interested by
stander to expatiate upon the Rhode ISL
and Society for Cruelty to Animals and
the means which that most necessary and
noble organiza ton provides for the pre-
vention of cruelty to beasts that suffer
and are dumb.
But there is another side to the incident
Just referred to. During the heated
period of the past month the burdens
wagons might have been immeasurably
lightened If the women shoppers In the
big department stores had but realized
what was involved in the delivery or
small parcels which might easily have
been carried in the hand and thereby not
only the horses but the suffering clerks
and bundle boys have been relieved or

Such instances of thoughtlessness. how
ever multiplied a hundred fold, but In

who must. perforce, be driven with all
speed in order to make the circuit re-
