THE S. P. C. A. INTERESTED.
Members Care for Old Horse That Falls
hv The WaYside.

On Saturday an old horse fell on
the road near Severn bridge, too
weak to 90 farther The horse had
been owned by William Pack, who
does hauling, but was under the care
of a man named Harper, at Severn
Side
This horse, with another, had come
to town with light load and was re-
turning when 1t ftl and was left ~
ing BY the roadside The matter was
reported to the s. p. c. A whose
president, Mr. Ennalls Waggaman,
was out of town The matter, how
ever, was taken up by Mrs. Wagga-
man, who did everything possible to
help remove the old horse.
The matter was reported to a mem
Der of the S. P. G. A who took some
food for the horse and blanket ard
drove over to wher4 the animal was
lying, guarded by small white boy,
who had been faithful to his trust.
The boy had stood Chere in the road
watching the horse for hours The
little fellow was chilled to the bone
and stood there shiveripg. He had
not had anything TO eat since early
morning, ana when found watching
the horse it was O'Clock in the aft
ernoon. He had gathered rushes and
placed around the horse for bedding,
but the animal was SO hungry be ate
his bedding, until the $. p c. a.
member arrived with corn and more
substantial food.
The horse was removed to the other

Mr.. Hatch and others where a grassy
spot was found, and when fed and
banketed the beast got better and
was finally taken home Saturday

G. A. was not here he was repre-
scented by his two small children,
who took great interest in the well
fare Of the poor old horse.
The little white boy who stood
guard deserves some recognition from

WOULD BRING AMUNDSEN HERE.
Citizen Makes Timely Suggestion OF
Having South Pele Discover
nF.11s
Lecture 10 EiidoIes.

If sufficient time can be found TO
meet the situation, it is not unlikely
that Cant. ROAD Amundsen, discover
sr of the South Pole, will be invited
TO deliver a lecture before the brigade
of midshipmen at the Naval Academy
And there are many citizens Of An
papolis who would like to hear the
noted explorer.
Captain Amundsen delivered lee
ture at the Lyric Theatre. Baltimore,
Saturday evening 20 the enjoyment
of large audience. Prior 10 the
lecture he was entertained at Dime r
at the Maryland Club. A well known
citizen of Annapolis, came forth today
with the timely suggestion Of get
ting the explorer 70 cone to Annapo-
lis and deliver q lecture.
Particular mention was made OF the
fact that ii would be v ell for the mid
shipmen 70 hear the noted seaiarer
/ tell of his adventures. Authorities
IF the Naval Academy said today that
/ the matter had been talked of IN Off
cial circles. No invitation even in
an informal way has, however, been
extended.
1t as stated that the principal OBJ
/ stacle to contend with is that OF
needing sufficient time apart from th'
other work, and lectures for the mid
| shipmen to arrange for q lecture b1
| the explorer. 1t was iatimated, how
ever, that if satisfactory arrange
ments could be made, efforts would b.
made TO get the explorer here some
/ time in the near future.

HOLY NAME SOCIETY.
To Meet at St. Mary's Church This
Evening.

This evening at o'clock there
will be a meeting of the Holy Name
Society of st. Mary's Church. The
meeting will be held in the church,
and all the members are expected to
be present as well as all the Catholic
men of the parish.
This society has for its aim and
purpose the reverence of the Holy
Name of Jesus, which is so often bias
phe med, and the condemning of the
use of vile language. Last October
one of the greatest demonstrations
ever held in public disapproval of
this practice took place in Washing
ton.
1t is estimated that 10000 men
took part, and it is hoped by the
spiritual director and officers and
members that every Catholic man in
st. Mary's parish will be present at
st. Mary Church tonight. and join
the society so that when this celebra-
ton is again held, st. Mary's will
be ably represented.
