GIVE ANIMALS
 A CHRISTMAS,
 LEAGUE URGES
Delivery Horses Should Get Consideration on the
 Yuletide.

An appeal to the people of Bridge port to give beasts of burden Christ mas, too, has been issued by Mrs. Frederick H. Downs, corresponding secretary of the Animal Rescue league. It follows
 Are you not always glad when you read in the papers of the many wor- thy men, women and children who receive Christmas dinners each year from the churches, missions, clubs, charitable societies and Salvation Army? Even the inmates of our county jail receive a special dinner and rest on that day-which helps to make the day far happier than it would be if the people of our city were less generous.
 Now let us look at another picture. On the streets, 1t would sadden any one, who cares enough to notice, the drooping,, tired heads and footsore. weary gait of the delivery horses, pulling express, market and grocery teams from early morning till late at night.
 ''So much of your Christmas after all, depends upon the delivery horse who serves his master and you so faithfully, and works so hard to make your Christmas happy.
 If these horses could speak and tell you of the extra strain put upon them, and how little consideration is shown them at this season of the year, and if you could, know of the aching limbs and backs, the sore and painful feet, your heart would be wrung with pity for these silent martyrs. So why not have a. Christmas for your horse Show him a little extra. kindness; give him an apple, a lump of sugar, a few carrots, once or twice a day, and above all, blanket him and drive him humanely, and if you could see the grateful look in his intelligent eyes you would feel well rewarded, and when at last Christmas day arrives, and you are enjoying your own Christ mas dinner, don't forget to give your horse a little extra treat in the name of Him who was cradled in manager.
 Be kind to him-Ie works hard for you"
 The following unique cards are be- ing distributed by the league: { To the Lady of the House: Please order all your supplies for the day in one order early in the nj morning. One daily trip to your door-should it not be enough? Two trips wear me out twice as fast
 Telephoning in an extra order dou- bles the work for the sales-clerk and bookkeeper as well as for the driver and horse. This adds to the cost of all you buy. ..J+
 Hurry-up orders mean the whip for me. h.a
 Please think of those who serve you, both people and horses
 Your obedient servant,

MUD DIGGER AT. WORK.

We saw to-day mud digger" be- longing to MT. Henry N. Beardsley, at work in front of the new dock. in the course Of construction by the Naugatuck Railroad. It is operated by steam, under the direction of single man, with the aid of a fire man attendant and got out the mud at a. rapid rate. From a mud digger itscAn easily be charged into pile driver and thus be kept actively al work at anytime of the tide, or as c6rivehfence may require. We should think it a decidedly good institution.
