BURLINGTON HUMANE SOCIETY
Agent Has Done Good WORK in the
Last Three Months.

The reports of the last three months
show that the agent has visited, of the
outlaying towns. Shelburne thrice, South
burlington five times. Winooski thrice,
Essex Junction twice, HinesburRh and
"Nigger Hill twice. North Ferrisburgh,
Fast Monkton. Colchester and Muddy
Brook.
Some animals have been put in charge
OF veterinary surgeons, others have been
lai off from work, with promise, not al
ways. kept, of rest and better
treatment. Three men were ar
rested and fined for cruelty, one
man being sent to Jail. The cattle
pens at Essex Junction were found to be
destitute of water. and an attempt was
made to remedy this lack, but without
success. The condition of a portion of the
cattle in the parts of the coun-
~ visited is said to be deplorablc.
Horses are in daily use which are abso-
lutely unfit for work. and actually tall IN
their tracks in the effort to pull the slight
loads to which they are attached. FOR
five such which he saw in one locality the
agent said he would not give one dollar
apiece. The cows on one large farm had
cast their calves last spring because Of
bad wntcrins, and were sure to fare
worse next winter, as the hay on which
they were to be fed had not been cut
September %.
Horses destroyed. 4: dogs, 10; cats, IA.
The agent reports that he is frequently
sent for to remove or destroy cats or dogs
which the owners wish to get rid OF. 1T
is proper to say here that the society has
no funds wherewith to pay the mortuary
bills Of such pet animals. If the agent is
sent for In such cases, his services should
be remunerated. All moneys given to
him will be covered into the treasury of
the society.

ARE YOU A MASON?

German fun Americanzed amused n
good sized audience at the opera house
Saturday evening when Are You a Ma
SOM was presented by a well-selected
company OF players. As told in the adj
vance notices the farce is adapted from
the German by Leo Ditrichstein and por-
trays the unhappy happenings attending
the make believes Of Amos Bloodgood of
Rockford, ILL.,, and of his son-in law,
Frank Perry. a New Yorker both of
whom pretend to have joined the Masons
in order to gain frequent nights away
from the family circle The coming of
real Mason leads to the confession of both
the imposters. Several other compliCa-
tions add to the righteousness of the
plot. A friend of Perry. who arrays him
self in female attire and invades the Per
Ty home circle as a dressmaker's assist
ant. Is not the least Of these. In the lat
ter part Paul Weigel was very clever and
divided honors with Edward Kelly as
Amos Bloodgood. All the ladies were sat
isfactory and the cast throughout showed
an admirable balance. The play caught
the audience quickly and laughter and
applause were much in evidence.

In city court Saturday morning for breach
OF the peace. The trouble all came about
through an order given Ryan by Mrs.
Joseph Angler She claimed the agent
agreed to return the photograph of her
husbands mother, which was given him
as good condition as he received it. When
he came to deliver the work Mrs. Angler
claims that the photograph had been
transferred TO the glass. She said it was
a poor job and would not accept it, She
said Ryan then became abusive, called
her bad and indecent names and pushed
her about. Mr.. Angler came to the res
cue and the agent threatened to punch his
head but finally thought better of it.
When the testimony of the several wit
nesses was taken in court they all said
that Ryan was drunk at the time and in
consequence a warrant charging him with
intoxicatiou was made out To the charge
OF breach OF the peace he pleaded not
guilty but was convicted and hned 81 and
