| the way we should use our animal
servants ana friends. We do not know
that horses and dogs have souls either
| mortal or immortal. Most of us have q
| firm belief that it is our duty to treat
all dumb animals kindly, and so long as
they remain in our service to see to it
| that they do not suffer from lack of
care or attention. A quarter of q
century ago village hotels and stores
| had long lines of what are called horse
| Sheds under which the animals were
! hitched for hours exposed to cold and
| many hardshipS, while their owners or
| drivers were comfortably enjoying
| themselves under cover. If there is one
thing which is more of an abomination
to the eyes of decent persons than an
other that one thing is the old-time
horse shed, which was no more than a
torture chamber for the oyerworked
animals. We are glad to know that
modern usages have nearly abolished
this ancient barbarity, and shall be
pleased when the last one is gone.
While the man or woman of today who
goes away from home for any time has
learned that the best place for the
horse is in some stable where proper
care may be had upon the pay
ment of small fee. those who
stop but short time in any place
and who expect to depart in
few minutes at the longest, should
see to it that their horses are
warmly blanketed these chilly days,
even if the stay is for no more than five
minutes. 1t is easy enough to put in
an extra blanket for just such occas-
ions, and having brought the blanket
along, it is a pleasure to put it on and
buckle it warmly upon the body of the
faithful animal. 1t would be we'll for
all our transfers to take lesson from
the doctors who ride about from house
to house in attendance upon their pa
TENTS, and who always see to it that
their horses are blanketed before enter
ing the house. In fact, doctor who
will not blanket his horse in chilly
weather is not the kind of T-person to
have charge of the sick.

Reundina up the Maine Burglars.

Those Somerset county, officers and
citizens deserve much credit for the
pluck and persistency with which they
pursued the Norridgewock burglars un-
til all four of the desperadoes were
captured. One usually thinks of the
northern woods as a safe place for
criminals. but instances like this show
that man attempting to escape from
Justice would undoubtedly be much
safer in the midst of great city. 1t
ta:ns out that these four burglars all
hailed from New Hampshire, but it is
likely that they will make a protracted
sojourn at Thomaston before they re-
turn to their homes among the granite
hills. There is no knowing whether
this is the same gang of burglars who
have operated in so many of the small
villages of the State, the past year or
two, but if there are other gangs the
fate of this one should serve as a
Wholesome warning to all in the same
business. The trial should follow
promptly and nothing should be al
lowed TO defeat the ends of justice.
Such fellows as these at large in the
rural communities spread much I'M
easiness, and they should be made an
example of.

Delmar, who soon equalled her Won

the background before this last
achievement of the eight-year-old son
Of Robert McGregor.
Last years trotting season closed
with Cresceus as the undisputed holder
of the worlds trotting honors, and it
looks as though this season would close
in the same way, for it is now getting

Rural Telephones.

The Boston Advertiser has collected
statistics showing the number Of indie
pendent telephone exchanges in New
England. AS the business of these
systems is mainly in the rural sections,
it gives interesting light on the chang
ing conditions in rural New England
where the telephone. the trolley car and
free delivery are revolrtioniZing the
cid condition of things, bringing the
farmer closer to his market. and giving
him and his family many more of the
luxuries of life than an earlier genera
ton had or even dreamed of. The
Advertisers figures show that there
are now 1856 independent telephone sys-
TENS in Massachusetts. 40 in Connect
cut, IS in Maine, "a in New Hampshire
and Is in Vermont. Many small sys-
tens started as independent have been
absorbed by the big companies, but the
benefits remain.
The exchanges are in way, rivals
of the great telephone corporations.
and have sprung up almost entirely to
meet the demands of the modern
farmer, who finds telephone absolute
ly necessary for prompt and profita-
Bile transaction of farm business. They
are of the greatest convenience in
country communities. They have con-
nection with the long-distance lines
and main exchanges of the big centers,
but such connection is enjoyed by the
farmer only under special conditions
and under special rates. The method
often in vogue is for the people of the
| hamlet or village to pledge certain
amount of patronage. conditional on a
| line being built. When a. sufficient
| amount of patronage has been pledged
| to warrant the installation of a sys-
tenn, the projectors issue coupons for
the amount of pledges and they are
redeemed ut the 10 cent rate when the
amount pledged is paid. Some farmers
feel the necessity of a line so much that
they install line at their own ex-

British statesmen as an example of
