play with this other boy until he; had

to play with and everything went

think they would be kinder to animals.
I always think of the motto, Do unto

thought how that glass would injure

Happy Dan.

(SecOnd Rr1Ze.l g., -.
Dan was a large, yellowish dog Of
no mean breed and had great, soft.
brown eyes, that perpetually wore an
expression of subdued tenderness and
pleading. It had lain half frozen at
our door one cold winters day, and
upon being discovered, attempted to
wag it's tail feebly, while the lustrous
eyes mutely bespoke the, hardships Of
homelessness, hunger and constant
wandering. A tempting plate Of food
was donated, but the poor animal could
eat but sparingly, and was very. ,anx-
ious that we should be aware of it's
gratefulness, which was expressed in
short, weak barks. The hunted look
and habit of covering when a person
approached, due to former ill-treatment,
never left him. a.. =,
The Humane society was notified, and
when member came to take charge
of Dan the latter was very sick and
was suffering severely. The end Of his
misery would result only in death, de-
cided the humane worker. The dog
was tied, preparatory to execution, but
as his captor turned his back, Dan gave
one freeing jerk and fed upstairs,
where he lay painting and frightened
before my mother.
| It finally came out that Dan was
brought to the Humane headquarters
where a home and proper care could be
obtained. =, -.

up to us, half mad with Joy. Such q

ter , O'Clock and Judge Humphrey at

munity pleas filed by the defendants
will be sustained as to the individuals
and denied as to the corporations, the
artificial persons, and the Jury will
find in favor OF the government as far
as the corporations are concerned and
against the government as far as the
individuals are concerned
Immediately following the dismissal
OF the jury, District Attorney Morrison
raised the question of the date for the
trial OF the corporations. He asked
that the case he set for trial and that
1t commence within two weeks. This
met with storm of protest from at
torncys for the packers who insisted
they would be unable to prepare for
the case before the fall Of tho year
After some discussion Judge Hum
phrey directed that the lawyers agree
among themselves upon date and
notify him of their decision next week.
1t is expected that the total number
OF witnesses in this trial when 1t be-
gins will number at least 1900. Those
for the packers will number 1900 and
the government will have 100 more.
