RT NCLE JACK has received from
one of his little workers in the
good cause of being kind to poor,
distressed animals the following letter,
which shows that this member of our
big Humane Society has not forgotten
his pledge and was able to do a very
kindly act, even though at considerable
trouble to himself, and when he found
hat he could not provide a home for
the little stray dog himself he found a
friend-a girl as kind as himself-to
care for it.
1t is this kind of thoughtful care for
the helpless dumb creatures that makes
our children grow up into better and
more gentle men and wornen =
Master Pierce's modest letter follows:
Newark, N. J..
Dear Uncle Jack-All Sunday night

But whatever were her thoughts on
the subject, Miriam Challoner did not

her attention was attracted by some
thing strangely familiar in an unusu-

REV. EDWARD EVERETT HALE
BREATHES HIS LAST IN HIS
ROxBURY, MASS, HOME.
WHOLE COUNTRY MOURNS HIM
DR.. Hale Was Unitarian Divine,
PhiIanthropist, Author, Journal
ist and Lover of Peace
His Famous Stanza.

Boston, Mass.-The morning light
was breaking as the venerable Rev.
Edward Everett Hale d. d., chaplain
of the United States senate, Unita-
rian divine, philanthropist author.
journalist and lover of peace, breathed
his last in his home in Roxbury.
DR.. Hale was born in this city in
April, 1922, and by training, education
and tradition he represented through
out the 81 years of his life the spirit
of the founders of the Massachusetts
Bay colony. He was graduated from
Harvard in 1899. DR.. Hale became
chaplain of the senate on December
IA, 1903. He received his appoint
ment through Senator Frye, who at
that time was acting as vice presi-
dent. The selection was made at the
instance Of Senator Hoar, who had
been his lifelong personal friend
On his return from Washington a
few weeks ago it was reported that
Dr.. Hale was not in good health, but
he soon regained his activities and at
tended meetings and received friends.
1t seemed as if the whole country
joined in mourning the loss of DR..
Hale. Messages expressing sorrow
and esteem poured ninto the Hale
household, one of the first being from
President and Mrs. Taft.
AS an author, DR.. Hale's fame rests
on his short STORIES such as THE Man
Without a Country; as an instigator
of the social uplift the work of the
two great organizations, the Lend-a-
Hand clubs and the Kings Daughters,
will always add to his renown; as a
minister and pastor, his half century
in the pulpit of the South Congrega-
tional church and his preaching i'll
many other churches were prolific of
wise spiritual inspiration; while as a
historian his writings have become
authorities.
1t was DR.. Hale who, 90 years be-
worldwide peace tribunal: it was DR..
Hale who upheld Garrison and Phil
lips in their anti-slavery work; it was
DR.. Hale whose benevolent counsel
brought comfort to the sick and
wounded soldiers of the battlefields
of the civil war. as member of the
sanitary commission and it was DR..
Hale who gave to the world the fa-

UNIVERSITY YCENTENARY
MIAMI is CELEBRATING ITS HUN.
DREDTH ANNIVERSARY.
Institution at Oxford, o., Has Splendid
Record-Many Distinguished Men
Among Its Graduates.

Oxford Ohio's Miami university
has begun the celebration of it's
hundredth birthday, in connection with
the annual commencement exercises.
The institution. though small, having
only 1906 alumni, is growing rather
fast and now has LOO students. But
it is not its size that Miami boasts of.
for in the 100 years of its existence it
has given to the country remarkable
list of distinguished men.
The ceremonies, which are indeed
most elaborate and impressive, have
attracted a large number of no.
table men. President Taft desired to
be present, especially because Mrs.
Taft's father, John Williamson Heron
of Cincinnati, is president of the toard
of trustees. The chief executive may
come before the celebration closes. if
congress adjourns in time. The col
leges of the east are represented by
President E. r. Scott of the New York
university, of the south by President
F. w. Himitt of the Central university
of Kentucky, and of the west by Presi-
dent Albert Hill of the University of
Missouri.
The principal ceremonies of June G
will consist of the academic process
sion. the centennial address by DR..
Henry Mitchell McCracken. chancellor
or the University Of the City of New
