Little George Anderson Drowns

George Anderson, the seven year old son of Mrs. Pete Iversen, was drowned at at the sawmill yesterday afternoon. The little fellow was playing on the sawdust in company with Weston, his lit. tie five year old brother. The tide came in under the saWbust, and George fell through into the water.
 Dr. Pigg worked with all his might for an hour in an effort to resuscitate the child, but his ef- forts were of no avail, as there was at no time the slightest sug- tion of a struggle. Had the child's lungs not have filled with sawdust it is very probable that it's life could heve been saved.
 Capt. and Mrs. Iversen have the sympathy of the entire com munity in their bereavement.

MOTORS CAUSE
HORSE TORTURE
Police Say Animals Drivers
Beat Steeds Unmerci-
fully to Keep Up"

A glance at the Police Court dock
ct in which is recorded the various
offenses for which persons are tried
or forfeit collaterals, will convince
the casual observer that there has
been a marked increase in the num-
Der OF cases Of cruelty to animals
There is an increase in the arrests.
compared to last year. but there is
also decrease in the practice OF
cruelty to work horses. This SEEM
ingly incorrect statement IS explained
by the fact that not having so many
horses 70 watch as formerly, the
agents Of the Humane Society and
the police can round up the Offenders
much more easily and quickly.
Before the automobile, both pleas
ure and commercial. became so nu-
merous, so as to require a set of
regulations for themselves. there
were not nearly so many persons ar
rested.
Many drivers and owners Of horses
were cruel to them. but the city con-
tanned so many horses In those DAYS
that 1t was practically impossible TO
keep track of all. The advent Of the
auto spelled doom OF horse torture.
There are alb Ut one-fourth as many
woriShorses in the city now as there
were i've years ago.
Consequently there are three
fourths less chance for cruelty. In
proportion to the number Of horses
being used now as against five years
ago, there is a slight increase. This
is due 10 drivers expecting horses TO
get over as much ground as a motor
vehicle, inferior animals being ex-
pected 10 do the work OF first-class
animal and the scarcity OF horses.
Hardly n day goes but what there
is at least $40 or SIS left in court In
forfeits by persons who would rather
lose these amounts than face trial.
Yesterday 81 was left with Clerk
SebriDg by five persons arrested for
cruelty to horses. The monthly av-
erage in forfeits Is about 81. Two
years ago IL was about $40, three
years ago SIS. four years ago about
500.
Rarely is a case OF cruelty 20 ami
mails brought into court where the
offender has been cruel TO anything
else than a horse.

THE CALL OF ABRAHAM

Gen. 12I-3. "God said to Abraham,
get thee out of thy country and from
thy kindred and from thy fathers
house into a land that I will show
thee, and / will make of thee a
great nation"
Abraham has been brought 1000
years nearer us by the recent in
vestigation of the psychologists.
What was a few years ago hid in
the gray mists of ancient history
now seems very near us. One thing
has been established more clearly
than ever before that humanity is
much the same in all generations,
impelled by the same motives, in
spired by the same hopes. Influenced
by the same forces The primary mo-
tives and passions are much the
same in all generations and the
great lines of success lead through
well-beaten paths of human en-
deavor. In the study Of a nfe like
that OF Abraham the process of find
ing the way to the long-sought goal
of human aspiration is much simpli-
fled.
We see him in the setting of an early
and simple time. Our information Is
not sufficient to comphcate our view
with all e tangled web OF modern
lie. We find him at Ur of the ChaI-
dees living the life of the times
He was man of education. as ne
was able to deal with the various
kings with whom he came in con-
tact in his Journeys toward the land
of the promise. He was a rich man,
having vast caravans of sheep and
goats, and was able to put himself
at the head of a force of 400 trained
slaves for the defense of his pos
sessions. Yet these acquisitions seem
to sink out of sight in the final es-
innate OF his wonderful life. He some
how touched the spring of human
success and was able to lay the foun-
dations of a mighty empire and to
project his name down the centuries
even TO this day. In the text we
have the secret of his success and the
measure of his power. There came
a time in his career when there was
divine call. 1t was a call to leave
the old order and go out on a Jour-
ney with God as his only leader. and
the promise attache to the faithful
performance of this call was, Il will
make of you a great nation"
The two forces which make up the
most of human history are, first. the
power of tradition and, second. the
pursuit of personal ideal. OF these,
the first has made most of human
history. Many nations, as we'll as in
dividuals, have known nothing beyond
the force OF tradition. Today We see
nations. wrapped in the grave clothes
OF the past, seemingly without any
vision of a greater destiny that ought
to be the end OF all endeavor.
Tradition is the conserving force
OF civilization. BY il We hold the
achievements of the past and make
them our own. But when tradition
becomes the dominating force of a
nation IT begins to crystalize and
stagnate and die. This was the final
