The humane society agent at Altoona
has entered suit against Patrick Logue
on charge of cruelty to animals, The
case is peculiar one. I.ogue, about
five years ago, purchased a good horse
and devoted it to family use. One day
during the winter he was sleighing with
his family when part of the harness
broke, allowing the sleigh to slide down
against the horse and partly over an
embankment. The horse made no
effort to get away and Logue vowed
that the horse should not do another
days work for its action: for had it
started the family would have been
thrown into the ravine and badly injured
if not killed. This was four years ago
and the horse has not been out of the
stable since. Logue feeds it and cares
for it, but has steadfastly refused to
take it out, hence the prosecution.
Many children and some older people
have great fear of lightning Parents
are in a great measure to blame for this
A brewing storm is signal to shut up
the house tight and sit around in silence
and fear. Such actions are sure to in
spire fear in the minds of the children.
The Weather Bureau has just issued
bulletin showing the loss Of life by
The figures cover a period
of eleven years and show that lightning
caused an average of about 2.53 deaths
annually per unit area of 10000 square
miles. In comparison to deaths by ac-
cident upon railroads or in the ordinary
industrial pursuits the loss of life is
very small. The danger of being killed
by lightning is as one chance in 10000.
The fear of storm is greatly the result
of training. The parent does the child
a great wrong in training it to dread a
storm, for the fear once created rarely
ever leaves the mind.
