FOUND ABANDONED HORSE
 ON CANTERBURY TURNPIKE

II. Clay Preston, general manager of the Connecticut Humane society, has sent to the local agent, Dr. Charles H. Lamb, under cover of recent date, a cut of a poor old white horse which was befriended by this society during the past summer. This equine patient was the first to be received into the new home of the humane society, which is now located at 300 Washington street, Hartford, having for merly had headquarters at 51 Prospect street.
 The horse in question was found haul ing a load of garbage on Jefferson street, Hartford, while painfully lame. Its owner said the horse was lame when he bought it, but the man who sold it to him said it would grow out of it"
 No more work or heavy loads to haul for this horse, was the verdict of the hu- mane society. A comfortable rest was prescribed and later it was given a hu- mane death.
 The owner who was made to answer a charge of cruelty to animals, was ordered by the court to sign a release to have the horse destroyed.
 In t.le meanwhile Dobbin enjoyed a temporary vacation in the shelter of the society, from all appearances seeming grateful for his rest and relief from hard work
 During this month in Norwich this so- ciety through it's agent put an old aban- doned horse out of its existence. The animal had strayed up and down the Can Jerbury turnpike, on the road leading tc Occum, for number of days before ii was known what steps should be taken Residents in that locality cared for the horse for about a week to keep it from starvation and later upon inquiry, re- | ported the case to Dr. Lamb. The horse was immediately placed ir the custody of the people who had beer I caring for it until the necessary arrange
 ments could be made. As the owner vas not known, and the horse being worthless 1 it was given a humane death. General Agent A. T. Young, who usual l ly looks after such cases, was i'll at tn,
 time; so General Agent George F.. Will
 Hams came to Norwich and with Dr
 Lamb visited the place where the hors, ! had been in keeping. Upon examination the horse was condemned. After. paper
 were properly signed the animal was de
 stroyed by Dr. Lamb.

REPUBLICAN PRODlGALS.

At the Harding cottage IN Marion

his welcome, predicts that the Republl-
cans will carry his State. Then there IS
RAYMOND Robins, rcnouncing his hrst
political love-and several subsequent
ones-in order to offer his services on
Harding committee He is living wit
ness that any Progressive may return home
and no questions asked. To many such
converts the Republican correspondents
are pointing with much complacency
But thcv have singularly overlooked the
most notable convert We mean Colonel
George Harvey. In the last summer oil
his Weekly he makes long and conscien-
tious and judicial review of parties and can
didatcs, leaving the anxious reader IN
doubt till the very end Of the article, where
he announces that he has decided TO sup
port Harding and Coolidge. somehow,
this doesn't give quite the shock OF sur
mise that the Colonel seems to have IN
tended. The public had guessed his secret
And If there Is not so much JOY IN Marion
over this distinguished convert as might
have been expected, this may be because
Senator Harding ever since Chicago,
has has a sncaklng idea that Colonel
Harvey was the one righteous man who
