HUMANE SOCIETY WORK.

Durango has now a thorough and
well organized humane society and it
is to be hoped every member will be-
come an active adjunct in the way of
suppression of cruelty to the dumb
animal race. The humane society is
growing in every section of the Unit
ed States and the beneficial effects
are being felt and 1t is wonder that
Durango allowed the matter to
shoulder SO long as it did. True. hu-
name agents have given the matter at
tention when called to their notice,
but there has been no warfare waged
against those who take delight in
abusing their animals. Every mem
Der should study the objects of the
society and act accordingly. Every
member is clothed with authority to
correct abuse. 1t is matter in
tive.
1t is to he hoped the officers will
serve through the ensuing year and
then they can call on their co-workers
to take the lead. 1t should be an
honor to enlist In this good work and
an honor to be member OF band
OF men and women whose only object
is to prevent the abuse of dumb ami
mails. At times it takes courage to
act-that is. 1t may happen that one
will hesitate to act In cases where
friendship might interfere, but there
is an old motto; Always dare to do
right. 1t will win nine times out of
ten.
1t is wonderful the good the humane
society has accomplished throughout
the United States and If the dumb ami
NAL race could only speak. George T.
Angel would come In for memorials

Expensive Chicken potpie.
(r'rom the Philadelphia Record)
Eating $50 worth of chicken potpi

tFrom the Philadelphia Record)
Eating $50 worth OF chicken potpie
at one meal Is an extravagant way OF
living especially for resident OF
West Manayunk. where millionaires
are scarce articles, A few years ago
there lived at Pencoyd a young man
who was just making his start In the
world. but has since become one of
the moneyed men OF the country. In
his early career he became very fond
OF game chickens and Invested $50 in
gamecock OF the choicest fighting
strain. He turned the cock loose
with lot of common hens, and in his
idle hours enjoyed many battles with
birds owned by neighbors. He came
home from a business trip one day
and enjoyed chicken dinner pre-
pared by his wife that he thought was
the hest meal he had eaten for many
days. Nice chicken" he remarked.
Yes" replied the wife, Il got James
to kill couple of old roosters down
at the barn" He finished the meal
took stroll out to the barn and found

BRANCH SOCIETY
OF the Humane Organization Obtains
Foothold in Durango.

The branch of the Humane Society
of Colorado organized for La Plata

and its personnel will command the
confidence and interest of the people
Humane work is not pursued ordinar
lily by that class of people who live
solely In the flesh of ambition of self
At Denver and in other populous com.
munities of Colorado humane work
claims the attention and interest OF
the richest and poorest, the brightest
and most aggressive, and the common
effort of the common people. In Den
YER the greatest powers in the state
are engaged In one way or another in
advancing the objects of the humane
laws. and II in all the west there Is
one organization with more power
than another. 1t is the Arapahoe coun-
ty branch of the humane society. com
posed OF men and women who do not
shirk duty when and where there is
an appeal to humanity.
Durango has begun In the same
modest and conservative manner that
Denver begun in the noble work OF
protection of children and animals.
and those who have engaged in the
work are not looking for plaudts of
praise, yet they hope by their con.
servative action to merit the approval
of the people.
The Herald heartily endorses the
the La Plata branch. which are as
follows A. p. Camp. president. L.,
8. Barnes. vice president: C.. J..

treasurer. directors o. F. Boyle. +.
G. Perkins. Rev. o. Is. Sarber Hon.

Rodgers and Edith 3. M. Young.
Those who have engaged in the in
itiative of organization will have the
greater work to perform In shaping
to the requirements of humane laws
and they should have the aid and co
operation OF all the humane people
Of La Plata county. People who are
willing to perform labors of love will
not be expected to subsist on the hates
Of community. There are those
who are Indifferent, others who fear
and worse, those who will cooperate
in the defeat OF effort TO relieve chill
dren who have had no sunshine In
their lives. girls homeless and friend

help for the hindrance of owners or
keepers.
There will be no politics in this and

mile long. Now, The Herald begs
of you. members of the Durango
branch, do not permit delicacy to de-
ter you in the good work, nor affront
to lessen your zeal.
Beyond the field OF animal protec.
ton, there are the great responsibili.
ties of aiding and protecting neglect
ed and dependent children, homeless
and friendless girls and aged and de-
crepit children struggling without
strength or dependence. The good
women of Durango can render great
service in these fields, and it Is upon
them that much will be depended for
discrimination in proceeding cautious
ly to the end of accomplishing good.
Colorado leads the world in humane
work, and Durango will earnestly per.
form its duties along the lines sug-
gested by the humane laws.
To Frank Hartman, who has been
active in organizing the Durango
branch, much credit is due. He has
taken an active interest and as agent
we trust he will not let up in the
good work, but will perform the duties
without fear or favor. The sooner

Monkey FIagsed the Train.
From phfIadplnhia Record \

DO you see that little gray mon
key? Well, he's a hero" said John
Lover. one of the keepers Of the Zoo.
as he put his hand tenderly between
the bars of the cage. That monkey
used to belong to an organ grinder.
who one day got full and fell in a
drunken stupor on the railroad track
between Manayunk and Bala. The
monkey monkey sat on the organ be-
side him. waiting patiently for him
to come to. Suddenly there was
distant whistle. 1t was an express
train half mile away, but advancing
rapidly. With almost human intelli-
gence, the monkey tore the red ban
danna handkerchief from his masters
neck, leaped boldly to the middle OF
the track and tagged the train. The
engineer. just in time. pulled up. and
could hardly believe his eyes when
he saw that he had been tagged by II
monkey. Don't talk to me after this.

To the Democracy
OF the State.

l have already earnestly urged the
Democracy Of baltimore City 10 be
sure 70 register and TO declare their
Party affiliation" as Democrats, so
as 70 be qualified to take part in the
Primaries in the City Hext April.
The results Of the first days reg
istration are highly gratifying and
we have every reason to believe that
at the coming sittings Of the officers
Of registration in the City our full
vote will be enrolled and their affili-
alton as Democrats most willingly
declared.
/ now especially address myself
TO the Democracy Of the State. In the
counties the Offices of registration
will be open for registration on Tues
day September 30th and on Tues
day October 7th between the hours
Of 8 A. n. and 2 p. N. and on the 14th
Of October e., rerisioR only.
Note carefully these dates and see to
it that all Democrats, who have thus
far failed to register, no longer post
pone the performance of this most
pressing duty; and that all those
who are now for the first time enti-
tied 10 be enrolled as voters 60 and
register.
In addition to securing the regis
tration OF all qualified Democrats,
careful and close examination of the
books of registration should be made
for the purpose of striking off the
names Of all that have died or be-
come disqualified, and also of all
names enormously or fraudulently
registered.
Ii is believed that in some of the
counties many names will be found
on the registration books which
ought never to have been placed
there.
These names should be stricken of.
so that only the names of bonafide
citizens Of the State and real resi-
dents in the several election dis
tricts shall be suffered to remain.
earnestly urge you TO organize
thoroughly in each election precinct.
Get full list Of all registered voters.
ScrHtiaize these lists. Mark the
names Of all persons who are not
known 10 be actual residents of the
precint, and challenge, in the mode
pointed out by law, the right of these
persons to have their names kept
upon the registration books.
Take this work in hand at once.
Ii will not be difficult or tedious il
you begin il promptly by means of
active and intelligent committees in
each precinct.
The result of this diligent and
vigilant labor will purge the books
of large numbers of names of per-
sons who are not entitled to vote
and who should not be permitted to
control or influence our election, and
will greatly help US in our effort to
restore to Maryland a solid delega-
ton of Democrats in the House of
Representatives.
The Democrats of Maryland should
exert themselves to the utmost to
aid in this great and important
achievement.
Your first duty ROc is to get the
name of every qualified Democratic
voter on the registration books and
TO cause these books to be purged
!, of all disqualified and fraudulent
names.
When this task is thoroughly ac-
! complished nothing more will be
needed but TO arouse the enthusiasm
: of the rank and file of our party in
all sections OF the State, and the 4th
of November will surely witness q
great and gratifying Democratic
! victory.
