heartless of all. for its only excuse is

fashion,
We sometimes wonder how ladies can
take pleasure in driving out under these
conditions; and the most charitable con-
clusion Is that probably they don't know
any better. But oh that they would learn
and put an end to it! Now and then one
does see a truly beautiful horse. or pair
of them, and the sight is refreshing. Such
horses have tails, but no tOrtur1ng check
rein to spoil the beauty of the graceful
head and neck. and to wear them out be-
fore their time And they have also COM
Portable, humane bits, which to many a
high-spirited horse are safer than mad
dening instrument of torture.
From the unfortunate victims of fashion
we turn to the business horses Some of
these are perhaps among the most favored.
But even among these are some with
draw check, foolishly lessening the ami
malls power and causing needless strain
and injury well as suffering, as veter-
mary surgeons know. Some of those that
are not thus fll-treated are intrusted to mer-
CHESS drivers, whose ignorance and indif.
ference cause injury to the horse and there
such drivers might be promptly discharged
and replaced by men who have brains and
experience, and a heart. 1t sometimes
seems to be taken for granted that any
man can drive and take care of a horse.
greater mistake could not be. It is
true than any ignoramous can hold the
reins and a whip unfortunately, and he
can yell and shout. and swear. too. But the
horses are comparatively hard to find. But
will not the proprietors of business con-
Germs try to employ only such? 1t will
surely be for their interest. Another class
is the draft horses. Some of them are
fine, strong, willing and intelligent. Would
that as much could be said of all who drive
them!
Another class of ong-suffering helpless
ness is seen in the often overloaded, abused
and dejected-looking horses and males
which are hittched to the refuse wagons
of the city. Where are those who are
responsible for their treatment? Would
that they might see the needless waste in

utmost. made to pull It out again Then
there are the overloaded horses and
mules of the brick companies, many Of
them animals unfit for the heavy work
they are required to do. Who Is respon-
sible for them? Incompetent drivers of
express teams are also seen, horses mer-
cilessly overloaded and strained through
thoughtless indifference and ignorance. And
who is responsible for the 18th street omni-
bus horses? Common justice and common
sense demand that every one should be

Sound Business Maxims.

You may rob your employer of the
time that he pays you for, but when
yau shirk your work you rob yourself
first of all.
Study the lives of those who have
succeeded and you will see that they
did whatever they did. as well as they
could.
There is no greater mistake than
Swimming your work because you are
working for another and fear you may
do too much.
For your own sake remember that
whatever you do in the way Of con.
centrated work, you do first OF all for
yourself.
You begin life with certain mental
faculties. and with certain muscular
facilities. The development, or decay
depends entirely upon yourself.
Intelligent readers will not miSin-
terpret this advice to mean they should
oyerwork themselves. or work regard
less of their own physical welfare.
You may be idle in the thought that
you are indulging yourself at the cx.
pense of you employer. II is a dis
honest thought, and II Is a stupid
thought at the same time.

TRIBUTE TO THE DOG.
Notable Speech Made by Senator Vest
in a Court Trial.


In a Missouri town a mar brought
suit for 5000. claiming a neighbor had
killed his dog, and he engaged Senator
Vest to plead his case. The senator
made the following speech:
Gentlemen OF the Jury: The best
friend a man has in the world may
turn against him and become his enc
my. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving care may prove un.
grateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us. those whom We trust
with our happiness and our good name
may become traitors to their faith.
The money that a man has he may
lose. II flies away from him, perhaps,
when he needs ii most. A mans rep
utation may be sacrificed in a moment
of ill-considered action. The people
who are prone to fall on their knees to
do us honor when success is with us
may be the first to throw the stone of
malice when failure settles its cloud
upon our heads. The one absolutely
unselfsh friend that a man can have
in this selfish world, the one that new
er deceives him, the one that never
proves ungratetul and treacherous, is
his dog.
"A mans dog stands by him in pros
perity and in poverty, in health and in
sickness. He will sleep on the cold
ground, where the winter wind blows
and the snow drives fiercely. If only
he may be near his masters side. He
will kiss the hand that has no food to
offer. He will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
roughness of the world. He guards
the sleep OF his papuer master as il
he were a prince. When all other
friends desert, he remains. When
riches take wings and reputation falls
to pieces he is as constant in his love
as the sun is in its journey through the
heavens. II fortune drives the master
forth an outcast in the world, friend
less and homeless, the faithful dos
asks no higher privilege than that OF
accompanying. to guard against dan
ger, to fight against his enemies, anC
when the last scene OF all comes ant
when death takes the master in its
embrace and his body is laid away In
the cold ground, no matter II all otheI
friends pursue their way. there by tn,
grayeside may the noble dog be found
his head between his paws. his eye.
sad but open In alert watchfulness
faithful and true even in death"
Then Mr.. Vest sat down. He hat
spoken in a low voice, without a ges
ture. He made no reference to the eyi
dence or the merits of the case. WhcI
he finished the Judge and jury were
wiplng their eyes. The jury filed out
but soon returned with a verdict IL
favor Of tho plaintiff for $500. He ha,
sued for s-oo. It liz even said tina

WAR ON SOCIALISM.
Catholic Societies of Ohio Engage in
 Propaganda,

Cincinnati. Oct. 3l.-The executive board of the Ohio State Federation of Catholic Societies gave out to-day that it's pro- paganda against socialism in this State, and at this time has been given a wrong interpretation in certain quarters. It has been branded as an attack on the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio.
 This interpretation" say the officers, sis unfounded. The paragraph against socialism was written first at the request of priest in Toledo in whose parish the socialists are active and who has reason to know that the same pernicious propF- ganda Is being carried on all over the State. Secondly, the whole statement was first submitted to the consideration of the archbishop and the bishops of Ohio before 1t was published. and they surely would not have sanctioned any mere partisan politics if such had been intended. Thirdly. the Federation accept ed as timely the suggestion of the Toledo priest to sound a note of warning tc Catholic citizens against socialism espe scially since a strong propaganda has been made by the socialist party. which has a complete ticket in the field, in ia vor of their doctrines. advocated by sev' eral ex-priests, a doctrine directly oppos' ed by the Catholic church"
