For Protecting Dumb Animals.

VI 'ONSSeilA IsbthP R'iEI0iSs
 "I have been observing the efforts of The Age-Herald to call attention to the laws protecting animals and birds with a great deal of satisfaction" said a Bir- mingham man yesterday. VI want to say that ] approve of such a crusade and shall do all I can to aid the work of the Humane society
 T am sure the Humane society will succeed in securing an appropriation from the city for the promotion of their work and that conditions among the dumb animals will improve. This street car trouble emphasizes the necessity of the humane officer and police officers being on the alert for ill-treatment of horses and mules as they are now in greater demand and are likely to be overworked and underfed.
 "The fact that the good women of the town are taking a more active in- terest in the work of the Humane so- ciety speaks well for the future. Women, young and old can do more in this work than men, for who could resist young woman who goes up to horse-owner or vehicle driver on the street and advises him to take better care of his horse or he will be subject to arrest? One warn ing from a woman would go a long way toward expressing the evils that afflict the dumb brutes
 While I do not believe that women should become active police officers in the humane work the example set by two women of Nashua, N. H., is one by which women might profit. These two young women, Mrs Jennie Powers and Miss Jennie Kendall got themselves appointed deputy sheriffs and arming themselves with cameras and revolvers they secured indisputable evidence and made many ar rests of offenders who had abused dumb brutes Mrs. Powers reported that she had made many arrested and secured convictions and so far had met with no resistance in arresting offenders"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Americans In -Cnha


 Cuba is the most beautiful country on earth and there is little doubt that this island republic will eventually be absorbed by the United States" said N. c. Royster of Memphis last night at the Hotel Hillman. T have just returned from Havana and other Cuban cities and found conditions there dominated by the American spirit Americans own all the great tobacco and sugar plantations and have owned them for years. American business methods and customs are rap idly making their impress upon Cuban industries and 1t is fact, but not often exploited, that American influence has had much to do with the revolutions on the island.
 There is one thing, however, which tends to hold the Americans in check to some extent and that is the fact that the railroads are owned by English syndi- cates which run the roads for their own best interests. While this is true, it does not affect American domination of Cuba industrlally and politically and while the people and the language are strange to us yet an American in Cuba does not feel like an entire stranger.
 Baseball of the real joyous Ameri- can kind is a common ground for Gu bans and Americans and immense crowds turn out to witness these contests which are tremendously exciting and make true American feel perfectly at home
 During my visit I spent some time in the Vuelta-Abajo valley. the great to- bacco district whence we get our Havana tobacco. There Is really no Havana to- baceo of course but it should really be called Vuelta or Matanzas tobacco This district is the most beautiful in the island and the tropical scenery down this val ley surpasses anything to be observed in this country or any other that have ever seen

Saving a Cab Fare.

Here's a pretty tale of domestic
economy from an English paper. He
lad been brought up in the lap of
luxury and extravaganza, and when
bad times came and he had to go down
to the city and look carefully after his
shillings it was his pretty and tender
little wife who helped him and encour-
aged him by example in small savings.
One fence he never would face.
He baked at taking bus. "It
might pass the club, you know, dear,
and the fellows at the windows"
One evening, however, he returned ra-
diant to dinner. Tenderly embracing
his life's partner, he murmured: eve
done it, darling! All the way for three
pencev Love and gratitude were in
her eyes as she said: ''My brave boy:
Did you mind it very much?" With af-
fectionate cheeriness he made answer:
"No, dear! Got box seat; real good old
sort, the driver. Told me lots OF stories
and was quite chatty. Capital chap!
Gave him big cigar and half crown
for himself when I got down."
