Can Animals Suffer?
Paw Paw, Dec. IS. |

Paw Paw, Dec i6, 1909
Editor of The Tribune:
| have noticed in late issues of your
paper various articles regarding the of
forts of certain excessively humane la
dies to alleviate the sutferings of domes
tic animals during this severe weather
However, the proper place for dogs and
cats is the floor, not the bosom of a
woman, and those exhibitions of un.
healthy and mawkish sentimentality
with which the public has of late been
SO much bored cal for protest. and in.
deed the cold indifference of some of
the animal worshipers toward human
su1erlngs too strongly recall the maud.
lilo sentlmentality of Laurence Sterne.
who could complacently kick his wife in
to insensbiity aud in the next moment
weep over the miseries of a dying ass.
If teamster whips his mule through
pinch some obstrusve sentimentalists
are almost convulsed with horror at the
cruelty; they hasten to inflict on that
man fine, which a whole weeks hard
freezing labor will not pay-bogus hu
manity-to avenge a momentary cruelty
OF which the mule can have no mind
those humane hypocr ties inflict cruel
ty on sensitive human being under
which be and his family grieve and smart
perhaps for whole month. Better a
dozen mules should be hided and all the
dogs and cats OF the parlors should be
strangled than that one God imaged
man should suffer unjustly.

Is protected and relieved, in vain do these
false moralists try to sop their con.
sciences by shedding crocodile tears over

DISH THAT THEY ALL LIKED
Service of JowI and Greens Made Hit
at Dinner at Which Mil
Iionaires Sat.

In Lexington. KY, where the old
regime still exists in all It's lavishness.
a lady whose house is furnished with
heirlooms gave dinner party to
New York millionaire and his wife.
The Blue Grass lady had once heard
her northern friends say mat the best
food they had ever eaten was In Ken
lucky, and II was nothing more DIFF
ficult than corn pones, jowl and greens
and buttermilk The beautiful dinner
at which the millionaire and bis wife
were guests of honor will lou , re-
membered by those who went> IL.
The hospitable board was SET with
Venetian glass, which belonged to the
past annals of that fine old family. In,
the center was an epergne OF the
same piled with fruits, red apples,
grapes, both black and white, peaches
and pears AT the four corners were
Venetian candelabra. and the beaut-
full wine glasses and decanters added
a richness of color that was nothing
less than dazzling. The dinner was
wonderful. too, as the dinners always
are at this famous house. Music
played somewhere in the distance,
there was much talk and laughter, and
the northerners were enchanted; but
there was to be a surprise, for at the
third course where an entree would
usually be served there was handed
great silver dish of jowl and green's.
Little crisp corn pones came with 1t
and crystal pitcher filled with but
termilk added the finishing touch. And
this was the peice de resistance truly,
for every member of that dinner party
took a second helping.

HENS THAT POISONEDt FISH,

Use Them.

"Pshaw" said Ez Cobb, a Bankers
vile poultry fancier. when he ~tad
about hen owned by II. G. Spaulding
OF Colebrook, digging bait for her
owner when he had the fishing fever.
That's nothing. I've got some Rhode
Islands reds that poisoned fish to
death because the fish stole worms
from EN-
How did they do that?" demanded
an incredulous listener.
Il have deep spring in an open
lot" replied Ez. THE fish | kept in
IT got so wise that they dug their
own worms. The earth at the edges
OF the spring had lots of worms, and
whenever a fish saw one crawling out
of the ground he would jump out of
the water and .grab it, My Rhode
Island reds, in scratching about the
spring saw what the fish were doing.
Now, what do you think those muir,
derous hens did? They went to my
potato patch, where I'd put Paris
green They got their bills full of
poison, went back to the spring and
washed their bills free of the Paris
green. ] tried hard to get the poison
out of the spring, but was too late.

the fish were dead
Now, the hens have the worms.

a brick wall
This Is the only one OF four heaps
OF equal size and proportions which
remains intact In its original size
and shape, the other three having been
drawn upon as the material was need
ed. Many other scrap heaps are
piled about the bay awaiting ship
ment, some as big as a house, and 9TH

w no Is 1t?

1t is hard to believe, but never
theleSs It seems to be a fact, that
Paw Paw has at least one mean
man. The following letter,
which will explain itself, was re-
ceived by The True Northerner
last week and with it the clip
pings which are published below
the letter herewith. 1t would
seem as though the man who
takes so extraordinary a view Of
the dumb animal problem would
not hesitate to make his identity
known. The True Northerner
does not deem it necessary to 90
into the merits of the case. Suf-
flee it to say that Daily Reader"
must have Soured on himself and
the world in general aud that if
he gets any enjoyment out Of his
views in regard to the matter,
let him rejoice in peace and
alone, for surely he will find no
sympathizers.

days in the city Of Paw Paw. In large
city like Chicago one grows hardened to

beasts, but their fellow man as well, Al d
these things are, | regret to say, liable
10 pass unnoticed. But IN smaller city
ike yours, where everyone is looking to
see what good he can accomplish, and
" here practically every citizen is more
or less dependent upon the work per
formed by these dumb beasts, it surpris.
a. me that there should be ole person
who holds the views Of the writer of the
article enclosed. We cannot say thai
We envy you his company.
Ia paper appearing day or two la
ter, in answer to the article | am send
Jog appeared letter from a Chicago
citizen expressing his opinion of the
writer OF the letter, stating he was GLAD
he did not live in the same city, county

One at least of the True North
erner's dreams has at last be.
come a reality, and the first page
appears this week without any
advertising matter. During the
past three years we have anxious
ly looked forward to the time
when we could say to our readers
that the first page of the paper
belonged TO them, and would be
used exclusively for news mat
ter. Some business men believe
that the first page of paper is
m ore valuable as an advertising
medium than any other page of
the paper. We believe that this
is mistaken idea. The lads"
as we'll as news matter are read
by the general public, no mat
ter where they may appear in
the paper. The advertisers who
have used the space on page one
for so many years, have consent
ed to sac rifice their personal
opinions in regard to the value
of the space, and assist the man
agement Of the True Northerner
IN every way possible to make
the paper a brighter, more up
to-date and better newspaper.
The lad of H. G.. Waters e Co.
has occupied the lower left hand
corner of the True Northerner
every week for the past fifteen
years. During that time, their
lad has appeared every week,
and not a single issue in the en-
tire time but what the copy"
has been changed. Mr.. Waters
is firm believer in advertising.
and realizes more and more the
value OF consistent and systemat-
&c newspaper advertising. 1t
was something of an effort for
him to release the first page
space, but he is a progressive
business man, and was interested
in the welfare and progressive
policies of the True Northerner
His lad" will ia the future as in
the past, be found in our columns
and it will continue to be bright,
newsy and interesting to our
readers. 1t will be found on
page five of this issue, and prob
bly, will remain there permanent
ly.
What has been said of Mr.. Wa
ters as an advertiser would apply
equally as we'll to Mr.. Charles
who has for many years occu-
pied the first two half columns of
page one. His lad" does not
appear in this issue. Mr.. Charles
however gave his hearty support
to the True Northerner in our
efforts to publish an up. to- date
newspaper. The change is very
gratifying to the management of
the The True Northerner, and
we sincerely trust that it will be
appreciated by it's readers.

Shooting Endangers Lives

The shooting endangered the lives of
number of dock employees and one
bullet is said to have knocked a
feather out of the hat of a woman who
was leaving the dock Henry Linder-
blad and John O'Brien stepped almost
into the line of fire. Linderblad said
that one bullet went SO close that it
stung his little finger.
Collins was mortally wounded be-
fore he emerged from the wharf shed,
but he continued to run. The guard
kept up the fire and at last he fell
dead about half way between the shed
and the dock gate. The ambulance was
summoned from the harbor hospital,
but the services of the surgeon were
not needed and the body was turned
over to the coroner
Eleven shots were fired at Collins
and four of them, all in the back, took
effect. Any one of the wounds would
have killed him.
