was the kind of horse that should not
be touched with the whip once a year.
What he needed was a short rest be-
cause Of the heavy roads. kindly words
from the driver, a pat on the neck and
a rub on the face.
The other one I have in mind was one
of that numerous class that are never
excited or nervous. but ever willing to
stagger or fall from exhaustion. Crisp
sweat. drawing a heavy load. with an
other horse, having an advantage OF two
or three hundred pounds more weight.
She needed a brief rest for recupera-
tion of strength. but instead every now
and then she received a cut of the cruel
lash because she was unable to keep
her end OF the doubletree from falling
back
Human nature is weak and imperfect.
and We are not SO optimistic as to hope
that the time will ever come when dumb
animals will not be cruelty treated. The
best we can hope for now is that through
the columns OF the newspapers, by the
distribution Of literature. by the develop
ment of kindly natures in the school
room. and by eloquent addresses from
our pulpits i'm behalf Of kind treatment
of dumb animals, such as was delivered
by one of the ministers Of this city last
week, we may lessen the abuse of our
faithful creatures. by developing q high
er plane of intelligence and kindlier and
more considerate dispositions in those
who have charge of the animals that
serve US SO faithfully. j. X. HENCH.

FEAR TROUBLE IN MINES.
New Belgian Law Rouses Anger Of
the Men.
,ndence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
BRUSSELS. January %. 1911.
There are prospects of grave difficulties
in the vast coal mining districts of Bel
gium. A new law has come into force
reducing the working day to nine hours,
but in order to protect the producer
against dangerous disturbance. enabling
the mine owners to increase the penalties
against working men taking holidays
without leave. as is SO frequently the
case with Belgian colliers. especially dur
ing the potato crop season or during loca!
popular festivities. the mine owners have
given notice Of these new mine regula-
tions and the men are evincing the utmost
discomfort. They gladly greet the reduc-
ton of working hours, but will not hear
OF any time compensation for their en-
ployers, and threaten a general strike
rather than abide, in this respect, with
the new law.
The Association of Mine Owners is urg-
ing the government and parliament to
use their influence with the colliers and
request their compliance with a law con-
ceived In their own interest, but it is
hardly expected that the miners will listen
to any counsel. and a serious conflict be-
tween labor and capital is feared.

Threats Against Life.

10 the EultOr OF Inc Star.
I have read your excellent editorial Of
Wednesday calling attention to the need
of q law to restrict the sale OF firearms
so that only those entitled shall be a.
lowed to purchase or carry them.
Such a law would doubtless lessen the
numerous unfortunate shooting ARRAYS
that are 80 common. But this would
not go to the root OF the matter.
One great cause OF death by shooting -
neglect to regard seriously threats TO
take life or do other personal injury.
The assassination Of Mayor Carter Har-
rison OF Chicago and the shooting Of
Mayor Gaynor might have been avoided
had serious attention been given to the
threats of the deluded individuals who
had been making them. The assassin Of
Harrison claimed that the mayor had
promised him the Office OF corporation
counsel. but had failed TO give him the
place. He called on the corporation coun-
sci and demanded the ofi1ce. The counsel
said he might have II, and announced
i'm a loud voice to his subordinates that
they would have to be very careful, AZ
they were going to have a new chief.
This treatment Of the assassin probably
saved the life CT the counsel But the
mayor paid no attention to the threats,
written on postal cards In red ink. Mayor
Gaynor likewise did not realize the dan
ger.
If those who make such threats were
detained and examined instead OF being
ignored or ridiculed many lives might be
saved.
If. further, these persons were studiei
by scientific methods, through the know-
edge thus gained, measures might be pro-
vided for reducing the danger to a mini
- t. o1r of
science. which is common sense con-
densed. that no evil can be permanently
lessened without a study OF its causes.

A KNOWING HEN, THIS.

Before he bought the fowl of Hale

several eggs from the nest. Marking
these eggs and placing them under other

one would hatch. The iema ining eggs

Tired of buying setting eggs for hen
to scatter over the floor, Hale decided
TO sell the fowl Freeman, knowing of
her wonderful nature, purchased her.

Each spring now Freeman uses her
only TO sort worthless eggs from tne

Hardships of Musicians.

John Warren. who knows nearly all
great musicians intimately. writes in our
Sunday Magazine tomorrow of some OF
the hardships and strains they have to
endure. Thus the ends of pianists' fingers
frequently split open, and still they have
to keep on playing: violinists acquire
curvature Of the spine OF account of the
distorted position they must hold their
heads in, and their eyes are injured by
particles of rosin flying from their bows;
performers on wind instruments suffer
from bulbar paralysis and apoplexy.
None of them may indulge in the sports
and pastimes Of normally situated folk.
for ii would injure their technical eff
cheney. 1t Is a rather gruesome recital.
but still there ere bright spots n their
lives. as Mr.. Warren shows. 4

What Constitutes q Load !?
To the Editor OF The Star:


In determining how much a team
should haul the steepest grade and
toughest parts of the road should be
considered. Many horses are overworke ]
and jaded more during the half hour of
hill climbing than during all the re-
mainder Of the day.
OF course, it is necessary for horses
to draw heavy loads up hill. Often, how :
ever. their drivers would be more merci-
full il they would give them an occa- :
sional short rest when tugging a heavy
load up grade. A rest of only two or
three minutes helps an animal wonder
fully that is almost ready to drop for
want of breath. or because of physical
exhaustion.
Because Of snow on the streets Mon

ferent disposition would have done his
work with less effort. He may have
