HORSE SLAVERY.
Owners to Take Out Licenses Re-
vocable for Cruelty.

Letter to the Editor Of the n. Y. Evening Post.
Sir: The automobile was to do what it
has always been necessary to wait for
convenience to do, or cOncede, rather
than conscience-it was to remedy evils.
1t was to rescue the horse. 1t has
brought the deadly asphalt-that bone
breakery of winter glaze; that agony of
the skating horse sliding different ways
of terror with some undiminshed ton or
two behind him.
But the help the automobile has given
to the horse is only partial, as 1T is inert.
Machinery's heart is not big enough. yet,
for the full Observation-Disclosures mans is
not: for they go together. But machin-
ery's. heart is kinder than 1t was, and
mans should keep pace with 1t and take
one new step for the horse. Why should
license to keep horses not be now re-
quired by law, and the granting of such a
license be contingent on the promise of
the owner to obey definite rules of merci-
full treatment? Every vehicle-the coupe
of the fretted, champing, chating be-
check-reined, docked-tailed horse of the
half-witted fashionable, as we'll as the
equally miserable and lamentable. but
more excusable, wheel of the literally
numberless Harlem and other Eek

smartness of locked horses for the car

Legs very useful when you want to run

Long. sharp teeth are splendid il to fight you
But a greater blessing whether one may stay
quits,
Is q well oiled. perfect balanced. sharpened
set OF wits.
So said Peter Rabbit as he sat in o
snug hiding place in the Old Pasture
and thought over what he had found
out about the strange Rabbit whose
tracks he had followed. They had led
him to a rubbing or measuring tree.
where the strange Rabbit had placed his
mark and that mark was so high up on
the tree that Peter knew that the
strange Rabbit must be a great deal
bigger than himself
IF he's bigger, of course, he is strong
err thought Peter, and If he is both
bigger and stronger, of course, it won't
be the least bit of use for me to fight
him. Then, anyway. I'm too stiff and
sore to fight. OF course, he has no BUSH
ness to think he owns the Old Pasture,
because he doesn't. ! have just as much
right here as he has. Yes. sir. l have
just as much right in this Old Pasture
as he has, and If he thinks he can drive

him, Yes, Stree. I'll show him! l guess
my wits are as sharp as his. and |
wouldn't wonder if they are a little bit
sharper.
Foolish Peter Rabbit, There he Was
boasting and Dragging to himself of
what he would do to some one whom
he hadn't even seen. all because he had
found a sign that told him the Old Pas

to make his new home, was already the
home of some one else. Peter was like
a lot of other people. He wasn't TAR
No. sir, he wasn't fair. He let MS own
desires destroy his sense of fair play
1t was all right for him to put up signs
in the dear old briar patch and the
Green Forest, warning other Rabbits
that they must keep away. but IT was
all wrong for another Rabbit to DO inc
same thing in the Old Pasture. Oh. my:
yes, That was quite a different matter.
The very thought of ii made Peter very,
very angry When he thought OF this
other Rabbit 1t was always as the
stranger. That shows Just now unIair

self was really the stranger. IL was ms

was very plain that the other had lived

But Peter couldn't or wouldn't see that
You see he had counted SO much on nav
ing the Old Pasture to himself and doing
as he pleased that he was too upset and
disappointed to be fair. If the other Rab-
bit had been smaller than newell, that
might have made a difference. The truth
is Peter was just a wee bit AFRAID Ana
perhaps il was that wee bit OF fear that
made him unfair and unjust: anyway,
the longer he sat and thought about 1t
the angrier he grew. and the more he

she rushed back.
Katharine looked disconsolately at her
own prim, brown hair and thin, tired
face No Jim ever raved because she
was late or took her out to the Deacn
She was only twenty-five, yet she might
have been thrty-fve, with craving hair,
for all the attention that came her way.
She wondered sometimes at night how
it would seem to rush home dress In
whirl of haste, and be taken out to parks
or beach. And usually, being very tired,
she was content to go to bed and Sleep
so az to be fresh for the next day.
She went to bed and cried, partly for

because she wasn't lying beside them

is about as high as you will likely climb,

piece of pie had not been satisfying.
And the next day it rained-a treacher-
Gus rain that fell heavily one minute and
withdrew in favor of a shining sun the
next. The sun was shining when she
stepped out of the store, so she started
to walk home as usual. Nickels We're far
too scarce that week to be wasted unless
a steady downpour threatened She hur-
ried, hoping to cover the two miles be-
tween the loop and her rOOming house
before a heavy shower came, but half
way it caught her and she had to take
refuge in a drug store and wait until it
lessened. Even then her skirt was slight
ly spotted
The rain ceased. the setting sun peeked
out for d last CLINT and she hurried on.
Two blocks farther. she skipped across
the street, a big dray turned suddenly.
To avoid it she had to squeeze between
| its rear wheel and a delivery wagon
standing by the curbing. And both muddy
wheels scraped her skirt. On the right the
dray left broad bars of brown mud, on
| the left the wheel of the delivery wagon
| left monstrous smudge OF black slush.
Katharine looked down when she had
reached the farther pavement in dismay
| too great for words. And then the rain
began to pour again-not a spatter or
drops this time. but furious flood.
She stopped in the doorway of a hall
and waited for twenty minutes until the
| heavy shower became a drizzle; then she
plodded on, while her thin lawn waist
ing wetter each minute, hung Imply
against her tired limbs.
She Was Brought to a stop by some one
crying: Say, wait a minute!" She look

nearly home. and the young fellow of the
