WHERE NIMALS AR ; LOVED.

The B rmes people naturally re full

And we know that If a person is kind to
animals he is generally kin to his fellow
man.

TO go bird-nesting or rafting wit ter
rier, or ferreting rabbits. These would be
crimes,
A Burman hates TO kill. Neither for
sport, nor for revenge, nor for food, must
any animal be de. rived of tie breath
thai is it.
All the animals-the ponies, the cattle
and the working bufaloes are so tame that
it is an almost unkno thin for any
one to get urt. Yol can walk through the
herds of an evening perfect safety, for
they will not attempt TO touch you.

To be sorry for ounded dog or hunted

SOME LIVELY BIDDING

Sale of Unclaimed Freight
by Railroad.

There was some lively bidding for
caskets today mt an auction sale of un-
claimed freight, at 627 East Fourth street.
The bidders. however, were undertakers,
SO they must have figured on using them,
for any attempt to have other people bid
on the coffins was not well recelv ed by the
bidders, who shrunk back and let the
undertakers fight it out among them
selves. Chandler II. Gebhartd, of New
Castle. was the only bidder on the first
casket sold, but other lots stirred up real
competition.
A lot of baling wire was the first sale OF
the day, bringing Sl1 for about sixty
pounds. There was some real spirited
bidding for roll of wrapping paper,
which went under the hammer at Sl.75'

A feature of the sale that aroused much
interest was that most of the articles sold
were either in barrels, boxes or crates and
