HERE is a pretty story about a
pigeon; a true story from New
~Haven Comm, paper:
"A pet dove, owned by the Avery
family on Hemingway avenue, is at
tracing much attention these days.
The dove is very fond of the boys in
the family: he follows them to school
flying in the air, resting at intervals
until the school is reached, and at times
il is noticed sitting on the window sills
Of the school peering in the windows,
looking for the boys, winch is getting
to be daily occurrence It later re-
turns to the home, watching their re-
turn.
IF any of the boys go to the post
office the dove flies along, taking its
usual rest at different points and
finally is seen sitting on the post Of
flee building, until the boy is ready to
return home with the mail RMS, IN
deed, is a very interesting sight
Gets a Heart Hold.
This little incident gets hold on ones
heart: more, il Identifies Itself with
the spirit and awakeus reverence and
love for the Great Father and Mother,
the creator Of all things.
1t is one more proof of the divinity
which dwells in every form OF lie ANA
all that is needed to bring forth that
divinity is love. There is evidently
some very sweet and beautiful quality
in the nature of the Avery boys who
own this dove. The divine element in
them is well developed and so the bird
has responded in this marked degree.
Some years ago 4 large exhibition
of blooded cats took place in New York
city 1t lasted three days and the eX-
hibitOrs were much in evidence. The
striking similarity between the cats
and their owners was amusing 10 the
open eyed observer.
Similarity Apparent to All mt Show.
The naughty dame with the snow
white Persian ribbon winner was re-
produced in her naughty cat. which
sat in its cage casting cold looks on
the would-be admirers; the fussy little
woman who had all the attendants con-
fused with her many demands was rep
resented by a fussy cat that paced its
cage and made many plants; the merry
woman who kept all the people about
her laughing, exhibited a trick Angora,
whose capers were the delight of
everybody in the hall. and the pussy
cat which rubbed its pink nose against
the bars and asked to he caressed by
every hand was owned by big-souled
woman whose humanitarian and hu
name work had made her beloved by
the world.

strength and power. They are all on
the way to a higher incarnation: and
so are we. We are reaching toward
Goodness: the animals toward the
human plane: we are all they know of
God: and it behoeves us to give them
high ideals of love, compassion and
protection.
Unconsciously to themselves these
New Haven boys who own the pigeon
are elevating their own natures toward
real religious standards while thew
create in this feathered brother such
a sense of confidence and loving trust
1t is from the youths, the boys and
girls of our land, that we must expect
the lifting of society to a more humane
standard.
Edward Packard, WATERFOWL, Mass
a humane worker whose activities in
the field OF animal protective work and
humane education advances are attract
ing wide attention, gave an illustrated
address on humaneness at the Melrose
high school
He advised the youth to specialize
as publicists, stating that many of
the worlds great problems would be
solved by men and women who knew
how to translate knowledge into the
language Of the day, namely the pic
torial and newspaper vernacular. He
predicted that social and humanitarian
work. in fact, all educational WORK
would be simplified and extended bv
Consideration for Animals Helps Man.
The slides shown were combinations
of art subjects, humane educational
text and picture Of animals. phycho-
logically arranged to build up what the
designer calls a "self-lecturing" hu-
name educational entertainment to
teach and spread the gospel of kind
ness. He said this sort of education
would be in great demand, if available
and offered to create, catalogue and
distribute it free of charge for his
own work IL some one would finance
the project.
Speaking in regard to the every day
care and treatment Of animals IN nome
life. and illustrating the matter with
many handsome slides. he showed how
a little thoughtfulness for household
pets, fowl. or other captive creatures
would make their monotonous lives
more comfortable and would bring 4
reward in happier life for those who
exercised this consideration.
1T is the cultivation of this habit
Of kindness" he said to the teachers,
which constitutes the mission and the
work Of humane education, and is the
hope Of the world" kind and Just
nature developed in youth, makes them
more sympathetic and humane in all
the relations OF life.

Kindness That Is Cruelty
Beatrice Fairfax Warns Against the Coddlng Habit.
by BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

How sorry such men will be for
themselves when they face the hard
ships Of training, and how much worse
it will seem than it would, had they
been made to rough it a bit more. It
is just as necessary for children to be
trained to meet the blows of after life
as it is for them to have proper food
and clothing
The Happiest Children.
There is an old widow today Who
has passed through a life of most
abject poverty. Not because she has
been overburdened with troubles, but
because from schildhOOd onward those
with whom she has come in contact
have lavished Unbounded sympathy
upon her. Her husband was the last
to pity her If she had to do the ord
mary duties of normally healthy
woman. Ten years ago he died, and
for all that long time she has been
left with only herself to be sorry
for herself, and so her face is lined
and marked with discomfort, and she
looks older than her years.
1t is the mother who demands the
most of her children who gets the
most from them, and such children
certainly grow up healthier and hap
pier than those who have been taught
by precept that they are to have the
best of everything and endless pity
when the least trouble comes their
way.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1916-03-06

TTHERE is nothing more acceptable
or welcome than judiciously ap-
piled sympathy; but the mother
ewho lavishes continued and eXtrava-
giant pity upon her children is really
doing them an lrreparable wrong.
If we use the muscles of our souls
We grow morally stronger, just as the
exercise of our bodies strengthens US
physically. Lads who from childhood
have been saddled with proportion
ate part of the family burden put upon
their shoulders make better men and
find the hardships Of after-lite more
easy to bear, while those who have
had all troubles lifted from their
shoulders by over indulgent parents
find every molehill q mountain and
the sOftest wind q hurricane.
There, there darling! Let mother
kiss it better. poor little chapw says
the foolish mother to her tiny boy
should he injure himself the tlnlest bit
As he grows older her heart aches be-
cause he has to face school in the cold
mornings, and she expresses grief at
this terrible hardship, and possibly shs
waits on the doorstep for his return
to help him off with his things and
set him by a warm fire.
Ruined BY Self Pity.
Then. when he is ready for an OF.
flee stool, he comes to her with every
little grievance about his boss" and
fellow workers, because he knows she
will listen and cOmmiserate with him.
Even should he himself become
manager or proprietor, she pities him
because his business will not allow
him to have a motor car or some other
extravaganza. So. instead Of becoming
a useful and interesting member Of
the community, he is obsessed with the
terrible and incurable disease, self
pity"
