The Marshalltown Women's Club had
DSeIl tne HTSC 10 ASK LOT the discussion
Of such subject, which fact the
speaker interpreted as significant of
the advanced position occupied by the
club. The recognition of the rights of
the lower animals is one of the latest
moralizations. sympathy is the true
measure of a mans culture, also of the
society to which he belongs. There
is place for all things in the wide
field of nature, and every living thing
fulfills some useful function and con-
tributes to the elevation of man. In
recognition of this service to mankind
the spirit of love. mercy and kindness
should characterize all human acts
Cruelty springs from the incapacity of
one TO put himself in another's place.
AS civilization advances, sympathy
grows, and all living creatures are in
Guided in this sympathy. The organ
ization of humane societies for tho
protection of those who can not speak
for themselves are the evidences of
this growth of sympathy. Humane So
cieties. now found in nearly every
state, are a credit to those who sup
port them. Their object is the preven-
ton of inhumane treatment, rather
