EXAMPLEOF CLEANLINESS
City Of Havana Sited BY Mr.,
Robinson As Ideal.
WE TEACH BUT NEVER LEARN

The address OF DR. Mccormack at

told in this same connection, the

In the interesting talk in which Mr..
Max Robinson gave expression of his
hearty endorsement of what Or. Nc
Cormack had said, he gave as an II.
lustration of what can be done ana

relating what has been done in the

What Mr. Robinson said of Havana

Horse Finds Defender.


Whenever horse runs away from
any cause whatsoever and plays hob
in the Streets, it is the invariable rule
to lay all of the blame on the dumb
beast who can never defend himself.
Even the owner of the animal, how
ever much he may be attached to it, is
almost always inclined to cover up
his own part in the matter by crying
out against "that fool horse''
The horse, however, has at last
found a friend and champion. This
man has made a personal investiga-
tion of 1000 runaways and in con-
siderably over half of all of them he
has proved that the drivers or owners,
and not the animals, were primarily
to blame. For no less than 3OS of the
accidents, broken traces, reins, bits
| or saddle girths or loss of driving
reins were responsible. In 1855 cases
some part of the buggy or wagon
broke as direct result of the negli-
gence of the man. In 90 cases the
horse was left unhitched on a street.
In all of these 545 cases, therefore,
owner and not animal was clearly to
blame.
Automobiles and motorcycles were
the causes of ITS runaways; railway
trains and trolley cars of 100; fire.
works, flying paper and fire engines,
of 40; and other runaways of 10. In
none of these cases can the horse be
held much to blame, for human beings
themselves are by no means without
fear of swiftly flying machines of all
of the kinds enumerated.
People will, of course, continue to
blame runaway accidents on their
horses-it would not be human nature
not to shift the responsibility onto
those who cannot defend themselves
but it is to be hoped that, for the sake
of the good name of the most faithful
servant of man which a putting, toot-
ing, noisily explosive machine is try
ing to drive to the boneyard, some
one will seek out and make public the
real causes of all runaways.-Duluth
Herald.
