Humane Work in Vacation Season.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
I noticed in the edition of The Evening
Star of Saturday July 25. an article head
ed "A Plea for the Horse" signed &C. r.
Bush" complaining that the Humane So
ciety are out for their vacation and, there
fore, the long-suffering policemen and lay
citizens must look after the dumb crea-
lures. Now, 1 being a member of the
Humane Society, taking my summer va
cation, would suggest to Mr.. Bush that he
should give up his position as lay citizen
and become an active member of the HUI
name Society and look after the poor
thirsty horses who make vain efforts to
quench their thirst with the scant water
that Is left from street sprinkling." Surely
If his tender heart is wrung by such q
spectacle 1t would be pleasure to him to
contribute towards additional fountains in
stead of grumbling at the Humane Society.
Is Mr.. Bush aware that the drinking foun-
tains for horses are given by the members
Of the Humane Society from their own
private purses. and are not furnished by
the city? 1 do not wish to boast but I
have given twelve drinking fountains for
horses. and many other fountains have
been given by different members Of the
Humane Society. and I thtnk it would be
more re becoming and Charitable in Mr.; Bush
additional fountains than to quietly sit
at home and criticise society which does
so much good and has furnished so many
fountains. He says ANY person with ordi-
nary eyesight can ses that there is not
proper attention paidnto the watering Of
horses" If he feels this 90. deeply as his
article would indicate, why, is 1t not in
cumbent upon him to bestir himself active
ly to promote better state of things?
The Humane Society would DE most thank
full for more funds to aid II, and. as they
work for love and not money. what right
has lay citizen to triticise It when he
does nothing to aid IL. Fountains cannot
be furnished without money, and as Mr..
Bush says, during theses hot days the
horses working on the strsets in any ca
pacity should be furnished with frequent
drinks Of water" ana we cannot point
long as these narrowing sights are pre-
sented daily and hourly" Now. II Mr..
Bush wishes to point to our streets with
pride and keep these narrowing sights
from torturing his soul. let him start q
subscription paper to provide more foun-
tains. which would be a much better oocu-
patton than growing at the Humane So
ciety. The society would be delighted with
his cooperation IN lite arduous labors.

crop this year exceeded all expectations for
