TENDER-HEARTED IN WAR
Warriors Have Cared for Homeless
and Wounded Animals.

From the London Express.
The occupation Of the soldier does not
necessarily obliterate the humane impulses
of the man. In fact in many instances II
serves only to emphasize and render them
more conspicuous. 1t Is pleasant to find in
a recent account of the work of the British
and colonial naval brigades that, in some
instances at least. mans inhumanity was
limited to man, and not extended to ami
mails.
In the Paardeberg lager some of the
bluejackets found three orphaned chickens
These little balls of yellow fluff were quick
ly adopted, and soon became great pets and
went with the brigade to BloemfonteIn
During the march the chicks were stored
in kettle, but when the men halted they
hoped out. went the round of the messes
for food. returned to their kettle when tired
and waited to be lifted back into it.
The men had other pets. A wounded dog,
which they carefully tended till he recov-
cred and Joined his master; another dog,
which followed them from Modder Camp
and used frequently to make himself use
ful by catching horses and bringing them
back; goat, which lived or seemed to, on
newspapers and tobacco. and a very wee,
miserable lamb with sore eyes, which they
used to battle daily with warm water and
round the neck of which they tied ribbon.
On the march to Bloemfontein, while in
camp, an officer saw a bluejacket discover
an On Sunk III the muddy river bank una
[ bic to move and dying of exhaustion. Jack
gave 1t kick to see If 1t was alive and
sauntered off.
Cruel brute!' muttered the officer. "He
might let 1t die in peace!''
I In few minutes back came Jack with a
coli Of rope and three chums. and these
| four, with a soldier, worked hard for ar
hour. got the beast out, dragged it unde,
| the shade OF tree and brought water from
| the river in their hats.
The officer was reclining under shady
tree, and even then he felt half suffocuted
| by the heat. The men were exposed to Tho
| full glare of the midday sun. They had
| been working hard all the morning in ths
/ open, and had given up their we'll earned
rest under q wagon to save beast

Of binding the orthodox Quakers togeth-

the societies of Friends have been In

to organize central authority That
will undertake to look to the common
affairs. 1t will form board OF foreign

seems that there are now IL smaller
Quaker organizations, or these ten
have assented to the new plan, and
Iowa and Ohio viii unquestionably do
So New York was among the leaders
The one that has not given it's assent
and may not do so ls the one that com
prises the Friends OF Pennsylvania and
New jersey, The Philadelphia Friends,
or come ~ them, are said to be so con-
seryatiNe that they crltlcise western
Friends because these do not keep up
the cid traditions Of Fox and Penn. AL
most alone Of all Quakers they cling to
the plain dress ard plain speech. They
steadily lose In numbers, and yet they
decline TO change. They even go so far
as TO say that Friends In the west are
not Friends at all, and sometimes re-
fuse TO send 10 or receive from west
ern meetings any official oommunica-
ton. SO that Philadelphia olngs TO It's
old ways and refuses TO come into
new order CT things surprises nobody,

Importance to the Quakers, Of which
there are about SO 900 orthodox members
IN the country. If there is one i'm
portant principle for which Quakerlsm
stands and which more than any other
justifles its existence, II IS the principle
Of peace among all men. If this prln-
clpe can be promoted by the consolda-
ton OF the forces OF the Friends, it Is
20 Be hoped the plan may be carried out
successfully There Is strength in union,
and no army can be too strong In the
service Of righteousness.
