Cruelty 10 Animals.

On August 18th new Missouri law
became effective. making cruelty To ami
mails i graded felony, punishable by a
term in jail or the penitentiary, at the
option of the Judge or jury. This law
will be warmly endorsed by lovers Of
horses, who have protested long in vain
agains, cruelty by brutal drivers. Every
policeman who fails to arrest man
caught whipping an overloaded team is
dereliet in his Official duty, and every
man, woman or child who fails to reproye
or report such one is remiss in his or
her Christian duty. Under the old law
the punishment me,ed out to an offender
was only nominal, but now it is a serious
thing to be arrested for cruelty to any
animal Facing year or two in the
penitentiary is quite different TO merely
paying a hne of S. or $40 In municipal
court said hne being stayed, perhaps, by
the Judge on promise Of "not letting the
same thing happen again. n.--laonton

\ Whenever the statement is
made that during the sessions of congress
Washington is full of lobbyists, it seems
that the general impression created is that
a horde of men bent on preventing the pas
sage of good legislation has descended up
on the capitol. The word lobbyists seeming
ly has come to mean only one thing. In

that wants to prevent the passage of legis-
