n GREAT MAN IS GONE.

George T. Angel, founder of "Our
Dumb Animals" is dead. Born in
June, 1923, he died in March, 1909,
at the age Of seventy-six. In 1868
he started the first paper dedicated
to humane work, known as Our
Dumb Animals" and from that
time until the end came he was ever
active in behalf of those creatures in
whose interest the paper was found
ed. He organized societies for their
protection, made speeches at public
meetings, and, as a result of his
efforts, rarely did year go by that
some marked advance along humane
lines was not made.
In Mr.. Angeles DEATH" says one
OF his close friends, "the world has
lost good man; humane effort, a
tower of strength; those who knew
him and respected him, a loving
friend; and the thousands and thous-
ands of animals, birds, and others of
Gods dumb creatures, defender
and advOcate.'
