A HUMANE PEOPLE.

The Arabs, even though barbarians
and half savage, are the most hui
name people. Every one knows the
fame of Arabian horses. The Arab
loves his horse as much as he does
any member of his family And in
return the faithful horse loves him.
Each would offer his life for the
other. The Arab never touches his
horse with whip or spur. but wins his
obedience and affection with kind
words.
There is story told of the free
ing of Hassan, the Arab. He was
captured by some enemies, and put
in prison. He was bound hand and
foot, and laid outside of the tent
prison. When night came Hassan
could not sleep. Soon he heard the
whinny of his faithful horse. He
rolled to where the horse stood. and
the dumb animal shifted about him
and recognized his master. He pick
ed up his master by his girdla and
ran all the way home with him be-
tween his teeth. When they reach
ed home the poor animal died. The
Arab never forgot his friends last
act, Thus we see there are humane
people all over the world.
