Cases of cruelty to animals
should be looked after by the
agents of the Humane society, but
if the accredited representative
of that society in any community
neglects his duties, or there is no
such representatives, then no one
will blame the police officers or
constables for making arrests
when they see dumb animals
abused. Not a day passes in this
city that horses are not abused
shamefully.

his acquaintance know Of this
discomfort, while the other is bub-
bling over with content, or at
least he does not give way to re-
verses or obstacles encountered.
Some one has said that the two
were born with these opposite ma

than in another city of the same
