Miss Warner Pleads For Kind
Treatment Of Dumb Animals
Says Tenderness and Thoughtful Consideration for Helpless
Dumb Animals Surest Sign Of Real Culture Instances
of Animals Suffering Intensely Through Emotions

Then add to his physical discomforts
the abuse by voice and whip, when he
so much yearns for word of kindness
(for many brutal drivers vent their saw
age tempers on these faithful dumb
servants-to ii said to their, shameD
And how quickly he responds to the least
show of afrectionl How his eyes brighten
and his ears prick up when he is given
a lump of sugar or a piece Of apple.
There are many instances on record.
and nearly every one has had some per-
sonal experience with pets, which prove
that birds and animals suffer intensely
through the same emotions which We
have so arrogantly termed human.
They frequently. pine away and die from
grief when separated from their owners
and companions.
"Old Ben," a big. brown bear in the
New York Zoo. could not be consoled for
the loss of his little brown mate. who
was removed one day to a smaller cage.
He gave full vent to his wrath and lone
illness, but his keeper paid no attention
to his lamentations, so he finally curied
himself up In corner of his cage and
refused to move-even when prodded
with short stick-and two weeks from
the day they took his mate away, "Old
Ben" was dead. The animal surgeons
verdict was, Nothing organically wrong
with him; he should have lived for
years" but the loss of his mate was too
great a sorrow. and the cause of his
death went down on the records as a
case of broken heart" They die of
grief and loneliness and broken hearts, :"
SAID the keeper, '.just like human beings. :"
A trio of animals-a chimpanzee and
two monkeys-were left by their owner
in charge of the zoo, and as soon as his
back was turned they began to whimper
and whine and look beseechingly at the
keeper, refusing to touch their food and
with their shrewd little eyes scrutinized
passers-by. At the end of three months
when their owner returned he found his
pets listless and wasted-a pathetic
sight. but when they saw their master
what a change came over them! They
fairly jumped with Joy, and chartered
and clung to him with almost human
cries of delight
The keeper told the owner that in a
few weeks more they would undoubtedly
have died from grief and loneliness.
So In our naughty pride and self-com-
placency at being so vastly superior to
everything else that God has ever created
let US remember that these dumb crea-
lures sometimes exhibit more dIsinter-
ested affection, true and patient forti-
tude than many human beings, and that
we are ennooled exactly IN proportion
as We may recognize their kinship to
US and our duty to properly care for
and protect them.
20, shame on the mothers of mortals
Who have not stopped to teach
OF the sorrow that lies in sad, dumb
eyes
The sorrow that has no speed.
For am my brothers keeper,
And will fight his fight
And speak the word for beast and bird
It'll the world shall set things right"

Ry ELEANOR WARNER.

One of the surest signs of a fine. sym
pathetic nature and real culture Is -
tenderness and thoughtful consideration
of ones interiors and dependents-and
especially for helpless, dumb animals.
In our super-abundant egotism. we have
fullness thereof, were created solely for
our exclusive use and enjoyment. and
have frightfully mlsused our Wanted
superiority in dealing with these humble
creatures.
We have progressed considerably, It is
true. IN the past few years. under the
leadership and inspiration of that noble
man, Henry Bergh, but we are yet far
from being quite humane in this respect.
What terrible inhuman cruelty, for in
stance, to confine birds and animals In
iron cages and small enclosures year
after year-a punishment which we im-
pose on human beings for having COM
mitted hideous crimes!-depriying these
wild creatures OF their liberty merely to
crafty the idle curiosity OF thoughtless
crowds. which show a much stronger
desire to be around than for any know
ledge OF zoology as the mob around the
monkey cage provesi
II would be far more nierciful to kill
them outright than to torture them by
long confinement in cramped and un-
natural surroundings. No wonder some
animals become vicious after such brutal
treatment like Gunds, the big elephant
in the New York Zoo, with two feet
tethered to the floor of his cage, de-
nouced as wicked and later killed be-
cause he endangered the life Of his
keeper
N they would all become dangerous
II might wake US up to the fact that the
heartless amusesne ent of silly crowds Is
not sufficient to warrant the danger. the
expense the cruelty of capture and the
pitiless confinement OF any Of Gods
creatures.
When we become civilized enough to
realize that these poor dumb things are
extremely sensitive and that they suffer
acutely, the same as human beings, we
shall make some drastic reforms in this
direction.
Take the horse, for example. Not the
welI-groomed carriage horse, with his
proud and splendid bearing, showing so
plainly the effects of good care and kind
treatment, but the average city work
horse. How patient, faithful and willing
he Isl Over snowy, slippery pavements
he plods, his legs strained and aching,
often in pain, cold and miserable, his
honest eyes filled with a sad resignation
and despair, so often kicked and cursed.
SO seldom praised or rewarded-no pay,
no pleasure, nothing but daily drudgery,
and at the end of long, hard day
dark, cold, stuffy stall. his food thrown
at him like fuel is fed to an engine-to
get more work out of him.
And in summer what misery he endures
under the blazing sun, its fierce heat
radiating from the scorching pavement,
tortured by thirst, by cheokrein and
blindness, which compel him to look in
one direction and thus cause eye strain
frequently by collar and harness sores
and tormented by swarms OF flies!
