NUMBER a4
Kindness to Animals.

lcr, Ill blltcf, cutting wind, Il
horse was tied TO Il post by the
sidewalk in busy town. His
hair was wet from hard driving
The robe with which he had been
covered had blown off towards his
head, and was lying partly under
his front feet that were paving
and stepping, trying to get away
from the danger that was threat
ening his life. Scores of people
were passing and rcpasSing on the
sidewalk, many of them boys and
men. Some of them gave IA
passing glance at the suffering
animal, but no one made move
to cover him, though there was
pathos and prayer in the eyes
turned towards them, asking aid
that was not given.
An invalid sitting in II carriage
not far away, had sent her little
girl to make small purchase in Il
store where she had to take her
turn at the counter. When at
last she returned with the pack
age, she was sent to see if she
could get the blanket tina. was
under the feet of the horse and
throw it over him if possible. BY
gently patting his ankles with
mittcned hand, he lifted first one
foot and then the othes while she
pulled out the robe, he whinnying
softly, ms if asking her to do more
than that, but he was too big
for her To throw the heavy robe
over him. A gentleman seeing
her efforts, stepped forward with
Il smile and gracious words, did
the kindly service while the child
looked on, waiting to thank him
when it was satisfactorily done
the robe tucked under the harness
straps so it would not blow off
again.
"Is it your horsc'" asked the
gentleman. Mot ours" was the
reply, "but it hurts mamma to
see anything suffer-" SO with
Il smile and good bye" he step
ped TO the sidewalk and passed on,
while the child returned to her
mother who was soon driving to-
wards home.
With the law of the land ready
to enforce the law of kindness, it
ought not to be difficult task to
induce humane and tender treat
mcnt of animals who serve us
faithfully, so far as they know
how, and ask no reward or service
except food, kindness and care

London, Aug 25-The newspapers here are
taking time digest President Roosevelts views
on trusts and there has been little comment on the
subject thus far. The Evening Standard con-
siders that his definition of the position the eomb-
nations ought to occupy is precisely what is ex-
pectable of man of the Presidents temperate
logical mind" and adds that the Suggestion Of
supervision of capitaistic rings is ad
nirable in theory. although it easy TO sur
mise how il can be made operative.
The Pail Mall Gazette" remarks:
President Roosevelts pronouncement leaves no
doubt that ne intends least to scotch Of the
leviathan enterprises which deeterious to the
general community. AT he time, he is too
wise to ignore the fact that the tendency of com
merce is in the direction of d concentration OF
forces and that this force needs guidance, and not
