we do?"
Redes declared emphatically that II
he received any letter he should turn

through fear was holding his tongue
but he declared he was not afraid OF
the Black Hand and didn't approve o
acceding TO their demands under an,
circumstances.
III l heard anything OF my boy

Il am from Palermo. Sicily. the hom'
OF the Black Hand; but they can
scare me, and and ! am Just waiting
for them TO demand money FOR Tony

4 GOOD EXAMPLE.
Mansfield Lady Causes the Arrest Of a Negro
for Cruelty 10 Animals.

The Mansfield Journal Of last Sat
urday gives an account of a negro
who rode into Mansfield on a horse
that was 50 very poor and had 50
many raw sores on his back and
shoulders that it was truly q pitiable
object: It could scarcely walk, much
less work, and yet the back and
shoulders gave evidence Of having
been worked recently.
A lady, who is an ardent advocate
of the enforcement Of
the law preventing cruelty
to animals, saw the poor brute and
at once took steps which caused the
arrest Of the Negro under the State
law. The negro, Of course, said he
did not know there was such a law
but just the same he was told be
would have to go to jail unless he
gave bond to the sum Of fifty dollars
for his appearance at the next term
Of. the district court. He gave bond.
Now that a precedent has been
set the Journal hopes that every
violation of the prevention Of cruelty
to animals will be reported to the
grand jury.
And the Clarion will add that the
Journal is right. Meek, pious frauds
will go about looking for ofenses
much less abominabIe than cruelty
to animals, the crying crime Of the
age. II there was more attention
paid to the things that affect the de-
fenselesa beings Of the country, and
less to espionage for things that are
comparatively of a minor tYpe, there
would be more great, all around,
genuine good, the good taught BY
the humble Nazerine, the good that
honest, genuine, true hearts pulsate
to do.

age of twenty-five entered the in
stitution Of Protestant Deaconess at
Kaisersweath to be trained as a
nurse From there she went to the
sisters OF st. Vincent de Paul, Paris,

Crimea, she organized the Harley
Street Hospital in London, and on
her return from Che war ID 1856 she
established training colleges for
nurses at ST. Thomas's and Kings

age and physical inirmities her mind
is still alert and active and she con-
tinues to follow modern developments
IN the nursing profession with the
keeness interest.
