mails he is not to be trusted to deal

whom he may have business dealings.
And besides, the man who will neg
lect proper care Of his horses, ought
himself to be made to suffer some of
tho consequences. Some years ago,
the writer was q justice of the peace in
q South Dakota town of about h Q
size of Hope, where the people were
much given to the practice Of leaving
their horses, unblanketed, hitched to a
post, while they themselves toasted
their shins before a blazing fire, or,
bellied up to q saloon bar, descanted
wisely on the important topics of the
day, between liberal rotations of hot
whiskey-"for their stomachs' sake"
At this same time our daughter was at
the head of the local humane society,

cruelty to animals that came under her
observation we're promptly brought
into "our court" together with h Q

DEATH OF MRS. THOs. GORN1AN.


Mrs. Thomas X. German died at
her home, 1903 East Collins street,
Friday morning, June 26, after a
long illness.
The deceased, whose maiden name
was Catharine Hennesy, was born
June 26, 1888, Town of Castle Gar
den, Kilkenny, Ireland. She came
to this country when eleven years of
age and settled in Madison, Wiscon-
sin, May %, 1860. She was mar
ried to Thomas X. German and in
December, 1913, they moved to Aus
tin.
Mrs. German is survived by her
aged Husband, four daughters and
one son. They are Mrs. ]. T. Ham,
ilton, Mrs. E. ]. Bomiley and Miss
Anna German of Austin, Mrs. A. N.
Disch of Tacoma, Wash. Thomas J.
German resides at Crisco, Iowa.
Three children of Mrs. German pre-
ceeded her to the Great Beyond. The
death of Mrs. German removes from
the family circle a devoted mother
and pious and devoted Christian
woman. The love of her children and
and companionship of her bereaved
husband were the earthly joys of
this faithful daughter of Holy Mother
Church. Her sorrowing children and
bereaved husband have the consila-
ton that comes from the contempla-
ton of a life we'll spent and burdens
borne uncomplainingly May her soul
rest in peace.
