The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-08-02

Mrs. Fiske has interested Mrs. Edith Wharton, the noted novelist in the work and they two with the assistance Of Mrs. Wharton's cousin, Mrs. Cad- amount of good in q very unostenta- tious way. Mrs. Wharton Is very re-
 tiring and does not like to be brought prominently into the limelight, so all her work for the animals is done through Mrs. Fiske or Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Flske has said: "A thousand hands are stretched out to help the child where one Is held out to the poor dumb brute"
 In a recent interview in San Fran cisco Mrs. Fiske would not say word concerning her profession or her plans but talked gladly and earnestly on the subject of the dumb brutes whom she loves
 Tt isn't that have any greater love for animals than anyone else" she said.
 It is just because the injustice of 1t all seems so unnecessary and cruel. If people would only think, if they would only realize the amount of suffering neediessly incurred and borne with out murmur. they'd surely be willing to help alter conditions. All 1t needs Is little thought and money"
 Tt is strange that this great cause never has appealed to the rich, save In the rarest instance. The societies organised for the protection of helpless dumb animals are almost invariably supported by the heartfelt offerings of ; those who cannot afford their gifts The rich and prosperous rarely help"
 Montgomery has recently organized Society for the Prevention of Cruel ty to Animals and let us hope that those kind-hearted and just persons who have undertaken the good work VIII light the unnecessary and need less cruelty and abuse to which thou sands of mems dumb assistants are put every day here in our own city.
