IA THANKSGIVING THOUGHT.

Most of our family feastings and So
cial customs come down from the
coarser days before any conscientious
ness of human kinship with the sub
human orders of creation had penetra-
ted the mind of effect their habits Of
thinking and acting toward them. In
the least progressive parts of Europe,
as in the wilder parts Of this newly oc-
cupied continent the traveller views
with as much amazement as pain the
popular indifference to the spfferings Of
the toiling beasts and Inconsistencies
Of the wants of domesticated pets in
the daily life Of the natives. The new
study of life and morals places such
people In the category with children;
and children among us require much
more attention in the way Of the cult
walton of sympathy and thoughts for
animals than do their elders. 1t is
certainly worth thinking Of whether
fun for children in children's books and
magazines should be made out of the

the wringing of the necks of ducks and
geese by the farmer and farmers wife
and boy-are parts Of the standard
comic supplement fun, and must prob
ably long COMMUNE to be such. But
children might at least be guarded
from such unnecessary cultivation Of
their innate savagery. This may be
smiled at as mollycoddllsh, but only by
those who do not reflect that it is but
recently that child-study has been
raised to the dignity of branch Of
science. The child is now gravely
studied in institutions Of learning, en-
dowed for the purpose, headed by pro-
fessors of worldwide erninence special

ophy which regards themselves to the
races and of individuals as the most
fruitful virgin field yet to be explored

INTERESTING SERVICE.

Commemorative of the Tercentennary

Three hundred years ago the church

there in more senses than one was the
birthplace of New England. Elder
Brewster in whose house the church
first met was minister of the Pilgrim
church. at plymouth, Mass. The an
niversary Of such event appeals espe-
cially to the heart of all Congregation
alists, and int was recommended by the
national council of this denomination
that the event be celebrated by individ-
ual churches and by conferences. Ten
years ago DR.. Leete of Dwight Place

England and Holland connected with

ENTERTAINMENTS
Now Hnven Thenter.

Julius Calm will present this clever
comedian. Harry Brown, in the sue
cessful comedy David Harum," at
the New Haven theater tonight, Fri
dag and Saturday nights and at the
matinee Saturday at the regular popu-
lar prices. While the compliment paid
"David Harum" in one Of the New
England towns last spring was not
intended to be Of the left-handed va
riety, it played havoc with one scene
and came near running the perform
ance. The town in question contains
several big mills, the owner of one of
them occupying with his family a box
at the theater on the night of Mr..
Browns performance of Harum. AS
nearly everyone knows, the horse
trade $50 capitally described in the
book, is made tn creature of the open
ing act of the play. During this trade
the old gentleman leaned on the rail
of the box with one hand behind his
ear, so that he might not miss a
word. When the bay horse that had
MT a scratch or a pinple on him, was
sound and kind, a lady could drive
him as well as a man, and he would
stand without hitchin'" was brought
out, his enjoyment of the scene waJ
intense, Finally, when Hiram parted
with the horse to the deacon for 5000,
he uttered a loud laugh Entirely OBJ
livious of his surroundings, he gave
his knees a resounding slap, and turn
ing to his wife, exclaimed in a voice
that was audible in the gallery: by
jinks, I've done the same thing my
telf.' The shout bf laughter that
greeted him was of terrific volume
The scene came to a stop, and there it
ha dto remain for what seemed an
age to the people on the stage. 1t re-
quired all of Mr.. Browns skill to get
the attention of the audience back to
the play. Even when he had the at
tention of the audience there would
float through the house the sound of
a half-smothered laugh, which would
be taken UP by the rest of the au-
dience. AS for the old gentleman, he
tried to hide himself behind the cur
tains of the box remaining there until
the performance was over and the
house empty of all bot the attendants
and his family.

DOG TRIES TO DRAWN RIVAL.
Instance of Brute Assassination

Instance of Brute Assassination
Jealousy Mainly the Cause.
Or premeditated cases of brute assas-
sination there are several remarkable
instances on record, They manifest the
faculty Of CONTINUANCE, of motive and
of inductively assimilating cause and
effect, which, if not actually human
reasoning, comes perilously near to it.
have more than one record of that
character, says a writer in the Pail
Mall Gazette, this instance, for exam
pie. A few years ago I was on a visit
to a Westmoreland clergyman, and was
accompanied by a favorite Scotch ter
rier. 1t made itself agreeable to every
member of the family but one-a large
Newfoundland retriever dog, who
showed subdued signs of jealousy One
day both dogs disappeared and were
absent from the house more than two
hours, when the large one returned
home alone,
was anxious about my own and
went in search Of it, and passing
through the village 1 met a gamekeep-
er whom / knew well, carrying it in his
arms, the poor brute being soaking wet
and in a very exhausted state. He re-
vealed the cause. While sitting on the
bank Of river about mile from the
parsonage he saw the two dogs, appa-
rently out for a friendly ramble, ap-
proach to the waterside on the other
side they lay down close together, and
in few minutes he was astonished to
see the big dog suddenly grip the ter
rier by the back Of the neck and leap
into the water with 1t. There in about
two feet of water 1t deliberately stood
and held the terrier under the surface.
My friend saw that there was nothing
but death for my dog, but as he could
not cross the river without going
around by bridge nearly a quarter of
a mile away, he fired a shot close to
the head of the would be canine assas-
sin. That startled it and, letting the
terrier loose, it sprang to the bank and
bolted home, My friend then ran
around by the bridge, and when he got
up to the scene of the meritated muir
der found my dog lying on the bank in
a very exhausted state, just having
had strength to crawl out. We have
here motive, contrivance to realize the
motive and skilful deliberation in the
operation, and if that is not reasoning,
/ should be glad of a definition of 'rea-
soning" which would exclude such a
performance.
l have records Of a similar nature
in all cases the outcome Of jealousy,
and mainly manifested among mann
malta of primary gregarious habits, es-
pecially the family Canidoe. That arts
es from the early fierce struggle for
life, more especially the struggle over
prey. AS a matter of fact, although
the dog was the first wild animal do
INVESTIGATED by man, it still displays
several of its far off prehistoric traits
of wild life, and this is one of them;
rounding and worrying sheep is anoth-

jealousy over food or partial favorit-
ism to others is rare among the cat
tribe, and their leisurely consumption
of food is another striking trait of their
ancient habit of solitary hunting The
habit of domestic cats becoming invet-
crate poachers is another evidence of
the "old Adam" still surviving.

Who Graduated From Princeton Are
Many According to Lists and
Figures Just Compiled.

Princeton, ~ j., October 23.--Flg
ures which have just been computed
from the new DIRECTORY OF living
graduates and former students OF
| Princeton University show that the
college graduate of today Is more and
more choosing a business rather than
la professional career. These stats
tics show that nearly one.third of the
| living alumni OF Princeton are in
| business.
The increasing number of college
men who are entering and influencing
business life In America Is one of the
marked changes that has come over
our educated population in the last
twenty-five years. II is not so long
ago that practically all boys sent TO
college were destined for a profess
siona career-law divinity, teaching,
medicine. journalism. engineering, etc.
But all this is changed.
Exclusive of the Glass OF 1906, there
are 1870 living alumni of Princeton.
OF the G,522 classified according to
lttlI oGtupdltOli, $500 are III uuStHtSS,
,49S in the law, 924 in the ministry,

OF leisure. 1 students, "a in the army.
II civil service, 26 architecture, 10.
chemists. 10 artists. 9 authors, in
the navy, 5 librarians. 4 musicians
and dentists.

classes prior to 1871. who number -.

the number of graduates following a
business career shows a marked in
crease. amounting to % per cent.
This percentage remains practically
the same for the alumni in the COS. |
In the classes which have been grad |
uated since 1900 the increase Is very
marked, averaging 80 per cent.
1t is a fair presumption that there |
VIII be an Increase instead Of a de- !
