Official correspondence in Morocco Is couched tn very f1owery and fam. boyant style It is interspersed with a variety of meaningless adulatory phrases that tend to confound the real meaning of the epistle. For example an order 10 the minister of finance to contract a loan begins thus:

HUMANE SOCIETY TO
PUSH CAMPAIGN
Horses Must Be Sharp Shod
and Protected From the
Elements. '

The Utah Humane society desires TO
make it emphatically known that any
one found driving a smooth.shod horse
in the present state OF the weather Will
be prosecuted with the utmost vigor-
Another humane matter TO which
owners or those in control of horses
had better direct their attention is
leaving the animals standing tied out
side entirely unprotected from the ele-
ments. The first instance of this in
humanity that comes 10 the attention
of the society Will be prosecuted and
the offender severely punished
The society might also give attention
10 the cruelty inflicted on horses driven
bv young boys. In this regard the de
livery boy is a prime offender. The man
ner in which some of them beat the
animals in their charge is absolutely
brutal and term In Jail for some of
them might have salutarv effect.
It is to be hoped that the humane
society will push its campaign TO the
limit against the iuhumans who Ill treat
poor dumb animals.
