NEED OF A HUMANE SOCIETY
A Plea Is Made for the Protection
of Beasts OF Burden.

Several days ago a short para
graph appeared in the Lights news
columns to the effect that there was
one woman in Waxahachie who
would not ride on the street cars
during the bad weather because of
her sympathy for the little mules
that pull the cars. This little para
graph seems to have been seed sown
In good ground. 1t set the ladies
thinking and talking, and it devel-
ops that the street car mules have
more than one defender among the
fair sex. Among the items which
reached the city EDITORS desk today
was the following communication
by young lady, whose name is
Withheld by request:
There are more than one woman
and girl in this town, who do not
ride on the street cars, if they can
possibly help it, because they feel
so sorry for the poor little mules"
Indeed, there is urgent need in
Waxahachie for Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The street car track, in places, is
something fearful. At times, the
cars are crowded to twice, or even
three times their capacity, and the
strain on these little beasts of bur
den is terrible. The mud on these
animals is, | suppose, the accum-
ulation of days or even weeks, and
some of them look positively under
fed. Then, too, | have seen in
stances where some of the driv-
ers treated the mules with
downright cruelty ard brutalnesss.
And why should the cars run on
Sunday at all, unless it be at Sun
day school and church time? and
thus give the drivers, who are
forced to keep at their tiresome
routine, while other men RESI-, or
can rest, if they wish and their
charges, the mules, those hours of
rest which are theirs by rights,
morally and legally.
Nor are the street car mules the
only animals that need the protec-
ton of a humane society. There
are the horses and mules that de-
liver feed, wood and coal. Espec-
tally do some of the negro drivers
beat and pull them numerically
along the almost impas sible muddy
streets. Then there are the poor
stacks-of-bones, in many instances,
that are made to ambIe along to
wonderful one-hoss shays' of
charcoal carts, baggage wagons,
etc.
There is a law for the protection
of misused dumb brutes, and why
is it not enforced? 1t should be.
OF course, | do not want what |
have written published, or would
rather it would not be published,
unless you think 1t would really do
some good, and under no circum-
stances my name, but l suggest
these things could be agitated by
you, through the columns OF your
paper, and might do much good
towards relieving much, or even
some, of the suffering among the
beasts, ceused by that higher an
mailman.

The Texas Fruit Crop.

f. w. Kirkpatrick, the Collin
county nurseryman, says he has
made close examination of his
peach, plum and apple trees and
finds that about half the buds were
killed by the recent freeze. He says
enough buds are left to insure a
good fruit crop if no further damage
is sustained.
G.. l.. Kidd, the Waxahachie
nurseryman, says he examined
several varieties of his peach and
plum trees, and thinks the buds are
all killed.
Reports from the eastern part of
the state are to the effect that the
fruit crop of that section has been
very materially injured.

WHAT "GROG" MEANS.
Something Far Different from What
1t Is Generally Understood
to Mean.

There are not many people who
know the origin of the word ''grog,"
and there is less number who know
that grog, as grog, contains very
small percentage of liquor. The ORR
gin of the term dates back to the
days of Admiral Vernon, of the Brit
ish navy, who was prominent in the
early part of the eighteenth century,
says the New York Tribune. His IA
vorite clothing was of grogram,
fabric of silk and mohair, hence he
was called "Old Grog." After he be-
came commanding officer he adopt
ed this method of manner: He or
dered that whenever sailor should
be guilty of INSTRUMENTATION or mis-
conduct for which a court-martial
should be waived and the delinquent
be punished by being made to take
his liquor for a certain number of
days diluted to seven parts of water
to one part of spirits. To a sailor
there could not be a punishment, ex-
cept death, much more severe than
this. From that time the "grog ra-
ton" was identified as well-watered
liquor for punishment until the term
became generally applied to the gill
of liquor served out regularly on
board ship.

RIGHT KIND OF EXERCISE.
1t Is Not Found in the Everyday Du,.
ties of the Busiest of
Housewives.

The woman who has mo time for
relaxation and systematic exercise" is
precisely the woman who most needs
to take it. Rest, exercise, diet, amuse-
ment and work are of equal impor-
tance in the vast scheme of living, it
one would live sanely-that is, health.
fully, says a household authority.
The old saying, "All work and no
play makes Jack dull boy" is per-
fectly true, and that all play and no
work has the some effect is equally
correct. 1t is the wise adjustment of
the proportion of each that makes for
health.
81 get all the exercise need in going
about my household Duties" many
women assert, but that is the greatest
mistake possible. Under ordinary cir
cumstances few sets of muscles are
called into activity, and the mind at
the same time is fully occupied.
For physical exercise to be helpful,
the mind must be at rest.
A walk of 20 minutes duration in
the open air is an absolute daily neces-
sity, and should be at a reasonably
brisk pace.
Deep breathing should be practiced
on these walks until it becomes fixed
habit. A good plan is to inhale slowly
while taking seven steps, then exhale
during seven.
The mental application soon ceases to
be necessary and the walker almost
unconsciously breathes in this way.
Deep breathing is helpful in cases of
insomnia, also.
The average woman takes too little
care of her health until she loses it,
and then she takes too much care of
it with tonics and nostrums. She
drinks two or three cupfuls of strong
coffee for breakfast, eats meat three
times day, takes cakes and ices ad
infinitum, and by the time she is 30,
or earlier, has established chronic
dyspepsia that is guaranteed to last
until her death.
There are many more illnesses from
overeating than from overwork, and
far greater danger to beauty.
