URGE KINDNESS TO ANIMALS
Many Reasons Have Been Advanced
as to Why Cruelty Should
Be Avoided.

Here are some of the reasons why
we should do all we possibly can to
protect animals, says an exchange.
1. They are. humanity speaking.
dumb and defenseIess.
2. They are especially liable to
cruel treatment.
3. They are the victims of science,
sport, fashion, ignorance and preju.
dice.
4. There is 50 much suffering in
this world that we ought to do every
thing we can to lessen, and not to in
crease 1t.
5. It is cowardly and contemplate
to cause living, sentient creature un-
necessary or avoidable suffering.
6. The animals do 80 much for US
in so many ways, ministering to our
needs, that they earn exemption for
their various races from cruelty, suf
fering and i'll treatment.
Z. Selfish and callous disregard of
their rights can only react disastrous
ly upon the moral nature of the hui
man family. and make other similar
evils appear excusable. 1t is a short
step from cruelty to animals to cru
city to human beings. The parents
who train their children to be kind,
considerate and thoughtful for the ami
mails are laying up treasures which
they themselves will reap when those
children are grown up.
8. As Jeremy Bentham. the great
jurist. wrote of the claims of animals:
The question is not-'Can they rea-
son. nor can they talk but can they
sufferr"

The First Bomb.

The bomb came into being during the
troublous times in France toward the
close Of the eighteenth century. Its
inventor was French fanatic named
Chevalier. who had conceived such an
intense hatred of Napoleon that he de
termined to kill him
Being employed at a government
small arms factory, he had gained SOM
knowledge of explosives, and with this
knowledge he managed to construct a
bomb out of barrel. which he filled
with mixture Of powder. bullets, bro
ken glass and white arsenic
Chevalier's idea was for the bomb
to explode under Napoleon's carriage as
it passed through the streets of Paris
A miscalculation. however, caused 1t to
60 of a few seconds too soon.

may think that II this statement is
true we ought TO have warmer wealth

SAY WORKER MISSES MUCH

Becky Sharp was the first society

The secretary of the Christian asso

vania announces that over 800 Penn.
sylvania men are already supplied
with work to help them through their
college year. In other colleges, per
haps in every college. n.en are being
20 aided to get their education. And
. surprising number of these men
have literally nothing year besides
the income from their work.
There will always be serious doubt
In the mind of college men whether
working ones way through college
really pays in the end, the Philadel.
phia Evening Ledger says. College
presidents have frequently been quot
ed as advising students to borrow
while they are at college so that their
minds and their time may be free for
their college work and pie asures. The
two together make up college life.
A book education without social edu-
cation is hardly worth having.
The college man who works his way
through misses much, to be sure, in
social contact, in the graces of inter.
course with other men. His college is
chiefly a place for lectures and
exams" The larger education he
gets, in pursuit Of his tuition fees and
room rent, is hardly of the polished
and suave kind which college should
bring. It differs not at all from what
he will meet later on.
College as preparation for living
ought to be broader than any one be
AS foundation for character it ougLI
to be broader than any career. That
Is why the man who works his way
